Allow me homey,...........1st & foremost styles make fights!!Mosley by nature likes to body up & apply pressure!!He isn't overly tall but he's strong as an ox!!When fighting Mayorga,I'm sure he underestimated him!!Mosley basically tried to bully Mayorga,he fought the wrong fight!!It's simple really,Ur not gonna body up & bully a bigger & physically stronger fighter than U!!That is why the fight was very competitive until Sugar slept him!!

no doubt what is this dude smoking?
shane was down 10 years ago by an elite, bigger vernon.
floyd couldnt get out a 135 lb jmm, in which pac knocked down 3 times in one round.

Agreed, Shane is much stronger and I would argue even faster than a blown up Marquez who seemed to be slow on his feet as well at 147.

Floyd has proved he can overcome adversity but Shane is the epitome of a fighter who comes with many many options.

What stopped Shane in the Cotto fight was the power of Cottos counterpunches, Floyd doesnt hit like that.

For the last few years, Mosley has been trying to secure a mega-fight. When Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired in 2008, and Pacquiao was still competing in the lower weight classes, Mosley had no mega-fight dance partners in the welterweight division. Things got a lot brighter in 2009. Mayweather announced his return to boxing, and Pacquiao became a major player at 147-pounds. Mosley began a heavy media campaign to fight both of them. Neither fight materialized as Pacquiao and Mayweather were more focused on fighting each other.

lmao@ Shane saying "people saw how fast I was against Margarito"

[switchsouthpaw]

That was the last time somebody tried to outbox him.

With all due respect to Gatti R.I.P-- Mosley ain't no Gatti.

Zab won a coulple rounds now people think they know how to beat Floyd. A fight is 12 rounds and sometimes fighters start slow just because this guy won the first couple rounds don't mean he wins the fight. You try to act like he gave Floyd some many problems Floyd dominated Zab the whole fight after round 4.

I mean you guys act like Shane has never lost a round. He was getting outboxed by Mayorga. Plus he got 5 losses so we already know how to beat Shane Mosley.

They say Floyd don't enough power to keep Mosley off him. Well I don't remember Winky Wright having that much power and he beat Mosley. So I don't think power is how you beat Mosley I think its skills and boxing ablilty.

You say Shane has been fighting bigger guys. Floyd is a champion in 5 diffrent divisions all he has done is fight bigger guys his whole career so I dont that will be a problem.

Bottom line Floyd is the best and its going to take more than a 39 year old Shane Mosley to beat him

First off resume will have nothing to do with this fight. Mayweather has never faced an opponent like Mosley and Mosley sure has hell never faced an opponent like Mayweather. Mayweather doesn't strictly rely on his physical gifts to win fights which is what Mosley does and thinks that Mayweather is going to do. Mayweather's "smarts" and ability to adjust on the fly is what separates him from other fighters. "Everyone has a fight plan till they get punched in the face."

And for those saying Mosley is too confident well what do you expect him to say Floyd is smarter than me and will counter me all day? Lets be real they have a fight to sell and talking crazy like this sells. And as for him saying that he will outbox Mayweather, how do you guys not know that he is just saying that to throw Mayweather off while preparing for him and make him think thats what he is going to do instead of fighting a typical Mosley fight. Never show your deck of cards before hand because the element of surprise can be a dangerous weapon. Shane is not the smartest boxer in the world but remember who he has in his corner "****m" the great strategist. Thats one thing he does have over Floyd going into this fight.

I see Mayweather winning in a unanimous decision.

Naazim the great strategist?

B hop over Pavlik @ 170

& Mosley over a Margarito who just got caught cheating?

After the first 2 rounds, Zab landed in SINGLE DIGIT shots from rounds 3-12

[feroth]

Can someone please explain to me why they feel Mayweather will beat Mosley.Why do they feel like him and Pacquiao are so unbeatable? All of the greats lost, including Ali, Robinson, Leonard, Duran,and Haglar.Is Floyd really better than those fighters?Who has he truly beat that is on the same level with Shane? De La Hoya, who had a long layoff before their fight? Shane is right. Zab Judah gave Floyd hell for 4 rounds.Do you remember Floyd's corner pleaing with him to calm down and that Zab would eventually fade? The man was shook.But Zab is not a disciplined fighter and faded. Zab and Shane have the same abilities. The difference is,Shane is a warrior. He's a beast.When Zab got hit, he started backing down. When Shane gets hit, he takes it to another level.In other words, he hits back with a vengence.Unless Shane gets old in this fight, I honestly can't see any way Floyd can beat him.Floyd may be the better technician,but Shane is the better athlete.Plus he has more power,more experience,and has fought the better competition.And,****r Richardson is the ultimate stratigist. The results will be an upset in some peoples eyes,but not mine. Don't be surprised if this turns out to be a one sided boring fight.Once Floyd feels Shane's power, he will get too defensive.That will be the only reason he doesn't get KO'd. Shane has been outboxed before,but remember, those were guys that were bigger than him with longer reach. Shane had a hard time reaching them. Cotto was a beast and Shane felt his power and got too cautious.He will not feel that type of power from Floyd,especially if he simply tries to potshot him. This is a prime example of how f#cked up boxing is today.A humble fighter like Shane who has fought wars in the ring,is full of action with Ko power in both hands, and never ducks anyone, is criticized for losing fights.His losses are to guys that Floyd would have never even considered stepping in the ring with.And if he did, he would have suffered the same results.But the praises goes to guys like Floyd and Manny who pick and choose their opponents and look good because of it.Well...I'm a REAL fight fan that recognizes REAL fighters.Even if Shane does lose, he gets more respect from me than those 2 guys.

Everybody knows all the greats lose, I'm so ****ing tired of hearing about it. Yeah Floyd is undefeated and its impressive but not as impressive as it could be had he fought the kind of competition that would compare to what Mosley has fought. But lets get some ****ing facts straight, it's not Floyd's fault he never fought a prime Mosley or Oscar. If they had accepted earlier we wouldnt be having this discussion but also remember this, Oscar when he fought Floyd was younger and was coming off a less than 1 yr lay off after destroying Mayorga. He's bigger than Shane, he's faster because he throws straigher more accurate punches. He hits harder (just ask their common opponents), he's a much better boxer and has the jab to bother Floyd. Shane is older than that and has a longer lay off so for you to descredit that Oscar win while making this fight out to be so dangerous is a joke. Shane's not winning this fight, and when he loses we'll be right back were we started because Shane is old and coming off a lay off...and rightfully ****ing so cuz wether thats Floyds faul or not, it still doesnt change the fact that Floyd never beat a great in their prime. Until Manny mans up and fights Floyd that wont happen, and even then there will be excuses but who cares? he's gotta fight either way. And this whole deal about Floyd being shook in the zab fight? and his corner begging him to calm down and all that? are you ****ing ******ed...that never happened. Floyd is a counter puncher but attacked Zab with a high guard exposing himself to being hit but he knew he could afford to do that because eventually he would discourage Zab and break him down cuz Zab can't stand pressure. Floyd's known him since they were kdis he knew exactly how to fight Zab. You dont know what the **** your talking about and I've heard this even the greats lose a million times before so your not saying anything new. Floyd will decision Mosley, he'll batter Manny. And have a few more fights and thats all he can do. He'll be compared to the greats but did he ever stand a chance at being loved like them? Not really when you consider the kind of competition guys like Leonard had and beat. Duran arguably a top 3-5 p4p of all time, Halger the best MW ever and a top 10 p4p all time. Hearns a top 20 all time freak of nature. Benitez another top 15 all time fighter and by far the greatest Rican boxer of all time. Stop comparing cuz Floyd will never live up to that
