Comments Thread For: Emanuel Steward: Mayweather-Mosley, a Dead-Even Fight

[Calilloyd]

Hall of fame trainer Emanuel Steward is giving WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley a very good shot to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. this Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. At a recent HBO meeting, Steward was surprised that most of the HBO crew had Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) as an 8-1 underdog in the fight. He thinks Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) is going to have a very tough time. [Click Here To Read More]

I'll add the HBO crew claiming Mosley has an 8-1 shot is either their way of discrediting Mosley as an opponent, or they don't know boxing as well as they think.

i can see floyd dominating this 1. it might be competitive for the first for rds or so but after that i think floyd will do just watever he wants with shane

when mosley fought cotto, all he was catching him with was the big right hands. cotto only blocks with his gloves, floyd blocks with both his gloves and his shoulder. if shane cant land that shot flush on floyd, hes gonna be in for a long night at the mayweather boxing clinic.

I think the reason why Mosley-Mayweather has wide odds now is because Mosley can't beat Floyd if the fight is close and it goes to the cards. The judges are gonna make sure of that. Dave Moretti and Adalaide Byrd I think are the judges and the other one's name I can't think of.

Not to pass judgement but uhh, can we not start discrediting a potential win already? Although I do agree some refs do make it seem as if they were watching a totally different fight I dont believe this will be the case on May 1.
Primary reason being Shane truely believes that he is going to knock Mayweather out!! If Floyd is sleeping on the canvas then a judge can not steal the fight. Secondly, ask any fighter if you truely believe that you will not get a fair shake in the fight there are many provisions you can take. 1 during negotiations ask for a change of venue or 2ndly just knock the guy the hell out. Mosley definitely has the power to do this but not the ring generalship nor footwork. With that being said if Mayweather gets knocked out no excuses should be made there either. Just utilize your rematch clause or retire quietly!! My personal opinion is that Mosley will NOT knock out Mayweather and it will come down to a SD. One judge for Mosley and Two for Mayweather.

Steward said the following fights were a tossup.

Margarito vs Mosley
Margarito vs Cotto
Pacquiao vs Cotto
Pacquiao vs Hatton

Yeah,we are talkin about that guy who get outboxed by Cotto,and almost had a draw with Mayorga.
Toss up my arse,Shane will fight like a ******.

Guess what?
Margo is a fraud.

Shane tends to be overrated with that win against the loaded mummy.

[BillyBoxing]

How a guy who get outboxed by Cotto at 35 years old is going to outbox,ko Floyd Mayweather at 39???

****m Richardson?C'mon dog,I like Naz,but that Margo win is a fluke.And Shane brawled the **** out of Margo.

[BillyBoxing]

I like Shane but we are talkin about one the purest boxer we ever saw,(and one of the biggest prick as well)in the game.

Now,Floyd had picked so much easy opponents...maybe he will pay it if Shane can put him in deep waters.

It is. Shane's age makes it easy to favor PBF on a physical level. But mentally, he's way more up for the fight than PBF is. All this looking ahead to Pac bollocks is going to get PBF KTFO if he's not careful.
