    I know there is still a good chance the fight doesnt even come off but, obviously its pretty exciting stuff to think about.

    Vote it out.

    Honestly, I see Floyd winning a 114-113, maybe 115-112 ud.

    Im gonna live on the edge, and am calling a flash kd in Shane's favor but still see him losing a decision. Haha fat chance of the kd I know I know. :bbb

    The bottom two options mean you wont be routing for the other guy, before someone asks.

    man there gonna be a lot of trash talking during the actual fight. Mayweather will make mosley exert a lot of energy early on.

    A lot will be made of Mosley's inactivity. But remember Floyd has fought just once in a 3 year span. And that was against a lightweight. Granted a great lightweight, but still a lightweight. I think it is level playing field. Plus it isn't like Mosley goes Fernando Vargas and puts on 40 pounds in between fights. Mosley is always in shape. It should be a great event. Mayweather should be the favorite but Mosley is a live dog.

    Oh absolutely. Most boxing experts/fanatics generally know, it takes twice as much energy to throw a punch and miss, that it does to throw a punch and actually land it. And we also all know that floyd is GREAT at making people miss.

    But I do know that floyd is gonna taste mosleys money punch eventually, and more than once. Floyds reaction to mosleys power will determine how the fight goes

    Shane has been prepairing for Bertos Style, however he can adjust if this fight takes place in march, he does have time I will be routing for Mosley to win, but defently ordering this fight instead, Mosley Mayweather will kick the **** out of Clottey vs Pacquiao in the numbers.

    I'll be rooting for Mosley, but he has no chance. I felt for a while that this fight would be likely to come off because of that. Mosley has no legs anymore. He hasn't for a years. Anyone with a modicum of quick foot movement can beat him.

    I think Mosley has a better chance at upsetting Mayweather than Pacquaio did. Mosley's age and layoff won't help him at all but Mayweather's fought once in 2-3 years, but Mayweather can probably handle it better due to age. Mosley is going to have to put pressure on Mayweather to beat him, he'll have plenty of moments but Mayweather beats him 7-5 in a good and very significant fight.

    Mayweather is a horrible style for Mosley to try and overcome. I really can't see anything other than a comfortable win for Floyd. Unfortunately.

    I think mosley's legs are still there(ish), but cannot deny he's lost a step or two because of age, but he's still got that power. At this point I think we all know unless the Mosely of 5 years ago shows up he is going to be outboxed.

    Mosley's speed is only a notch behind may's but what keeps this fight so intriguing is mosley's punch. I still think mosley's chin is top notch even at this stage so im not too worried about may's infamous "check hook" or anything like that.

    But I think May should get decent credit if he gets the win. You still have to be a pretty damn good fighter to beat this verison of shane.

    Let's not forget shane is still world class. (I know, wba = ****. but still)

    Mayweather by decision, Mosley can't cut off the ring IMO, he will expend a lot of energy chasing Floyd.
