    Benitez confuses the fuck out of Mosley, hammers him to the body and wins a clear cut decision

    mosley has a chance here. his strength, speed and body-punching could bridge the gap in skills.
     
  4. Benitez befuddles him with science

    Mosley wasn't at his best as a welterweight he was clearly better as a LW. However a lightweight of his era is the welterweight of earlier eras, so Mosley would have the punch and the chin he had as a LW.

    Nobody ever wants to go there however since it might mean that the welters of today might be difficult to handle for the welters of the past because of their size

    In a case like this, I just use the lightweight Mosley

    You could put Welterweight Mosley in there against Junior Middleweight Benitez, if you'd like... The winner would still be the same, to me

    I think it'd be competitive, prime mosley was really pretty useful. Let's say 9-6
     
  11. Prime Mosley was pretty useful against sluggers. First competent boxer to actually box him was Vernon Forrest.

    Benitez outboxes him clean.

    Hut's hatred of Ricans is visceral

    Doesn't matter if Shane comes into the ring heavier than Benitez. The gap in ability and skill is too wide for it matter.

    Benitez totally bamboozles Shane.
