    Could shane knock out Floyd - yes of course , Shane could knock out almost any 147 lb fighter in history.

    The question should be 'Would a prime Mosley knock Mayweather out'?? - For me - No Floyd gets beat by a great jab and a fast straight right hand like Forrest. Not a hooker like Mosley.

    The older one who fought Floyd was about to but forgot that he wasn't supposed to.

    are you really asking if he could thats a silly question.
    ssm "could" ko every single fighter from 105 through 154/160 even.
    but having the natural ability TO DO something has no relevence of
    actually doing it.

    so of course he COULD but not a chance he WOULD.
    2 completelt different questions and completely opposite answers will be
    given.

    We could have found out if Mosley didn't have that "toothache".

    Mosley wasn't in his prime in 06'.

    Late 90s, early 00s was Mosley's prime. I still favor Mayweather by decision because of his better skills and ring smarts.

    Mosley had his "toothache" before he moved up to fight Oscar.

    it only took one shot from shane to make mayweather buckle but it took thousands of those shots to make margo buckle and we know that margo has no defence no way mayweather could eat more then 3 clean shots from mosley:good

    Yeah, that was in 2006 after he faced Vargas the 2nd time. His "toothache" (my boss Oscar wants to fight him).

    That was not a prime Mosley, not the same guy from the late 90s and early 00s. But I wouldn't pick a prime Mosley over a prime Floyd anyway.

    You are right with respect to the timing of the "toothache" but Mayweather had been calling Mosley out before then and Mosley had ignored him. I remember Floyd calling out Shane before the first Oscar fight. Maybe I am wrong.
