Re-watching this fight all these years later I'm realizing those body shots were lethal! That guy was Way tougher than he had to be in this fight. He probably suffered a lot of injuries We never knew about
@@OldSkoolBoxingg He was on the "clear" before his second De La Hoya fight and all it did was bulk him up and slow him down. He didn't take it before or after and he never tested positive for anything.
Should have stopped it after round one when it was clear Taylor could not respond to questions in the corner and didn't think he'd been knocked down. I don't agree with your assertion Fenech got anything right.
To be fair, Mayweather DID call out Mosley after he beat Bruceles at 140 pounds, he was willing to go up to 147 lbs. Mosley instead faced Delahoya for the bag.
Sorry, bro, but critics and haters intentionally forgot and won't mention that to stained Mayweather's career. They're painting Mayweather as a cherry picker so anything's that says otherwise should be forgotten or ignore.
Interesting tactic from Taylor. Stand strait in front and have zero head movement. He wouldnt have beat Mosely regardless. This was a sparring session for Mosely.
Damn - shane mosley was hitting this dude really hard had a lot of pop on those punches were was that left hook this version of mosley was at his best then again he exposed margarito and beat the piss out of him one of my favorite fighter's
George Foreman is sharing his knowledge. Larry Merchant tries to correct him on something and Big George shuts him down so hard the other announcer agrees and Merchant didn't say anything for at least a full minute. Nothing better than that.
Yea you've gotta question the morals of a guy that used EPO and Steroids to bludgeon his opponents harder and for longer periods than would otherwise be possible for him.
I mean it probably would’ve happened anyways, Sugar winning the fight by KO, but it seemed like Taylor thought that 10 second warning at the end of round one was the bell. I rewinded it like 20 times to hear what he says in his corner but it’s tough with his Australian accent and him obviously being groggy. still it sounds to me like he says "I braked and then he fuckin hit me!" Maybe chalk it up to nerves but still that punch was clean as fuck and wasn’t like he had been caught yet. I mean his head snapped as if it was a hook or a punch he didn’t see coming but it was a straight right hand. I’m sure after your bell is rung once it’s quite easy to get it rung again not to long after if so that is a shame for the kid. You work your whole life for an opportunity and when it comes you give a guy a free shot.
Mosley was a rocket in his prime - jumping up from dominating the lightweight division to go straight to welterweight for the big fights of the day. It was a gutsy and smart move (business wise) Gutsy as the guys were so much bigger...but smart as he would have HAD to face Kostya Tszyu to being considered the king pin at 140 and for way less money. Mosley is a ATG I remember Zab Judah claiming that Mosley "jumped over" him to go straight to 147..lol -no, it was Kostya dear Zab...you should have "jumped over" Kostya too and just purchased dance lessons at your local studio instead.
Where was the Mayweather fight when Shane was fighting like this? I'm serious I don't know the answer to that question. Could someone explain it to me?
The simple answer is because he didn't have too. Floyd is a business man first and foremost. All of his biggest "challenges" we're all calculated risks. He never went into a fight wondering if he would win
Your right he never wants to fight fighter's in there prime he waits till they slow down then he fights them he should send his uncle to the dentist get him some jibs for a dude who is rich and was trained by his uncle why he doesn't get him some jibs
Okay... I got to clear up this bulshit notion that Mosley ducked Mayweather. First off this dude moved up 12 pounds to fight Oscar De La Hoya. Fought a prime undefeated Vernon Forrest who was a match up nightmare for Mosley. Fought Winky Wright TWICE who was a big 154 fighter and a very avoided fighter at the time. Knocked out Vargas twice who was much bigger and finally Margarito who was the most feared welterweight in the world at the time and oh yea Mosley was 37!!! Mayweather on the other hand was offered 8 mil by Bob Arum to fight Margarito but Floyd turned it down to fight Carlos Baldomir for half the money. Shane did say after the second Vargas fight when asked if he would fight Floyd in a couple of months that his tooth was loose after the fight and that he wanted to take his family on vacation... Hmmm maybe because he was married to that bitch Jin and they were having problems in their relationship. She divorced him shortly after that, took half his money and even tried to take his championship belts in the suit. The word "duck" isn't in Mosley vocabulary. Always fought the best and in his prime would have finished Mayweather in that second round when he rocked him.
Sugar Klay No. Shane pretty much always lost in his biggest fights. Vernon 2x, Wright 2x, Cotto, Pac, Floyd. The sole exception being Oscar which was a lifelong friendly rivalry. Vargas was shot by the time they fought. Margarito was a two bit cheat who got caught and Mosley was on fire because of his fresh divorce. Floyd aged same as everyone else and haters gonna hate. Still a big Mosley fan but he wasn’t among the zenith.
@@fhatheadproductions u say Vargas was shot by the time he fought Shane but criticize Mosley for losing vs canelo , pacman, Floyd, when he was around 40 years old. Vargas was not close to 40 when Shane beat his ass. Vernon Forrest is the only legit lost for Shane Mosley because he lost to Vernon Forrest in his prime and around his weight but winky was to Big
The big strong fundamental welters had their way with Mosley. He took too many pictures and was too in love with his power which never really translated past lightweight. Also, where is his jab? Nowhere.
Dion Garman Not w Winky, Forrest, Oscar, Cotto, or Floyd. Not to mention Pac and Alvarez. He couldn’t continue his string of KO’s against the top guys like he did at lightweight.
@@fhatheadproductions You can't knock everyone out! All those guys you mentioned were elite, they come with defence and solid chins as a mandatory. GGG didn't KO Alvarez either, that doesn't mean he wasn't a puncher. Of course I agree he couldn't continue his string of KOs at 147 but he could still get them if he landed right. I mean he KO'd Margarito, his chin was crazy.
Dion Garman To my initial point, the big, strong welters could take whatever Mosley threw albeit some better than others (Floyd!).... Shane was a great puncher no doubt. Margarito was his last great fight. What a beatdown that was! Loved it.
That's pretty good for a nobody to last that many rounds with someone who's in boxing hall of fame who shouldn't be well that's America for you you need money
I still think Floyd Mayweather would have beaten this version of Shane Mosley if you watch his boxing skills they just don't compare even if he hits hard he can't control his speed and Floyd is very good and neutralizing your best attributes unless you are a one-punch knockout artist who knows how to place your punches that's the only way you'll beat Floyd only if you land your shot
E1EMENT2012 But Floyd was also OLD and past prime vs Mosley. What about the prime Floyd that beat on Gatti or Corrales or Hatton? Would he have put on a better show vs Mosley? I think so!
Mosley has been a great fighter and outside the sport he is a good person. Class act guy
Yes. Agreed. Class act.
He was cheating . He’s a chump
Aaéàaa
Vicious body shot; that left hook was killer.
Prime Sugar Shane was a beast.
Agreed
Prime Shane Mosley no joke! Relentless shot to the body. Definitely one of great ones!
Yes
I felt that body punch live at the Straddie Hotel. Shannon you legend. Fenech called it.
Re-watching this fight all these years later I'm realizing those body shots were lethal! That guy was Way tougher than he had to be in this fight. He probably suffered a lot of injuries We never knew about
Taylor was a known Coke Head in Australia. He used to turn up at nightclubs with no shirt on, with some belt around his waist, after his fights here.
2:52 ouch what a punch
Wow. I almost forgot how quick Mosley was lol
Dont forget this was back when he was on the juice
+OldSkoolBoxingg. faxx when he wuzz on duh juice wow take it away heez garbage fuck uh cheater
@@OldSkoolBoxingg He was on the "clear" before his second De La Hoya fight and all it did was bulk him up and slow him down. He didn't take it before or after and he never tested positive for anything.
@@sugarklay9159 That's what he claimed. Keep in mind most - if not all - of Conte's peds were undetectable back then hence his not testing positive.
Mosley was a beast I forgot how good he was mayweather fought him way past his prime
He fought all the greats past their prime or before (canelo). He was smart like that
@@1250GSX Also, if the fighter was on a losing streak. He fought Juda when he hadn't won a fight in 2 years lol and almost lost that fight.
Hahaha lots of Mayweather butt hurt haters here.
Ray Gan Sure is! Apparently Floyd didn’t age along with his opposition! Lol.
@@sugarklay9159 no that's Pacquiao who did that. Always fought guys coming off of loses or bad performances.
This is the time Floyd Mayweather Jr wanted no part of Shane Mosley!
False
@@shuntavaisjohnson345 whatever!
Just another Floyd hater who can't accept the actual facts.
@@meharinationsportspodcast2582 you sound stupid FU!
Shane Mosley is an awesome boxer.🥊
Respect to Jeff Fenech knowing it was time to call it and protect the wellbeing of his fighter.

Thank you
@Lafayette You're right. He was dominating that division.
Interesting tactic from Taylor. Stand strait in front and have zero head movement. He wouldnt have beat Mosely regardless. This was a sparring session for Mosely.
Clearly Shannon quit as most bullies do when owned.
Damn - shane mosley was hitting this dude really hard had a lot of pop on those punches were was that left hook this version of mosley was at his best then again he exposed margarito and beat the piss out of him one of my favorite fighter's
Margarito was his last great night.
Prime Sugar Shane Mosley was a MF BEAST
George Foreman is sharing his knowledge. Larry Merchant tries to correct him on something and Big George shuts him down so hard the other announcer agrees and Merchant didn't say anything for at least a full minute. Nothing better than that.
I can't really give Mosley credit for the wins in this period of his career, because at the time he was on the juice.
Yea you've gotta question the morals of a guy that used EPO and Steroids to bludgeon his opponents harder and for longer periods than would otherwise be possible for him.
@@martincasey5900yea just like Canelo failing 2 tests before fighting triple G
@@pboissie before he got old GGG was a terrible style matchup for Canelo. I'm not surprised Canelo had to juice up for their fight.
american welterweights are the best pound for pound group of boxers of all time... I'm not american or biased BTW!

Taylor had no shitting business being in that ring with Mosley. Taylor was too stiff and upright to have any chance
@@darrenhenry7407 safe opponent dude. Chalk it up to HBO. They want to see knockouts and they want to see guys take beatings.
dedset rookie champs in dah ringaaa offtyyyy.. id say mmmyeh... g banga fan roots deep 🖤💚
commentary said nothing about the 2 punches landed after bell at end of fight.
Cleto Reyes: Hecho en Mexico. Best gloves on the plant

Those bodyshots would have Taylor vomiting for a week
That was brutal.
2:52 That is a STIFF right!!! 19:07 Left hook to the body... Finish Him!!! Great exhibition for Mosley
Wouldn’t been good to see this Shane Mosley face Anthony Mundane.
soft spot for shanwar since i met him oooOoffttyy
This ref would've ended Floyd's career
Once Shane figured him out
It was a wrap
Where was the Mayweather fight when Shane was fighting like this? I'm serious I don't know the answer to that question. Could someone explain it to me?
Yeah about 20 something fights later I always wondered why Floyd didn't fight shane as a lightweight
The simple answer is because he didn't have too. Floyd is a business man first and foremost. All of his biggest "challenges" we're all calculated risks. He never went into a fight wondering if he would win
Shane had to go to the dentist that's why
Your right he never wants to fight fighter's in there prime he waits till they slow down then he fights them he should send his uncle to the dentist get him some jibs for a dude who is rich and was trained by his uncle why he doesn't get him some jibs
Ash Win. Interesting. I'd like to hear more about that story.

Fenech champion boxer but terrible in corner. Taylor was much better than this crap served up.

Worst advice from Jeff, that's a dog in Australian terms, Jeff the thirty
Australia the new roy
This Mosley vs Floyd.

Chris Holmes he did almost drop floyd with that right hand!
roTUN key word ALMOST but Floyd is the best
Chris Holmes he the best at hitting and not getting hit that's for sure
HT logistics3434 your smoking crack you saw a out of prime Mosley rock him what you think think a prime Moseley would do
E1EMENT2012 But Floyd was also OLD and past prime vs Mosley. What about the prime Floyd that beat on Gatti or Corrales or Hatton? Would he have put on a better show vs Mosley? I think so!
