Will Mayweather be able to school Mosley as he did Marquez?

    ... the part he did schooled Marquez was the whole weight cheating,
    Marquez was half the fighter he was at 130-135, but if we assume
    Floyd is a real deal ... will he be able to school Mosley, in the same fashion?

    No. I don't count out a schooling but not that badly. Mosley has superior size, power and hand speed over JMM. If JMM had any of those elements, he would've made it more competitive.

    No, but he'll win a clear UD imo.

    Mosley is real welter that can cause Floyd problems with his speed and strength, something that Marquez didn't have at that weight.

    Neither Shane or JMM are great defensive fighters, so Floyd will land a high number of shots against either of them, but unlike JMM at welterweight, Mosley can actually move. And it doesn't hurt that he has quicker hands than Marquez, more power, a better chin, and is an equal/if not better bodypuncher. I highly doubt this fight will be that one sided.

    At his prime weight JMM was a great defensive fighter.

    He used proper distance and counter punching as his defense. As well as good guard placement.

    His fights at 126lbs were boring boxing affairs for the most part.

    It was only as he rose up in weight and got older did he start to get hit more.

    Shane doesn't get hit as much as you seem to think.

    But Shane uses his offense as his defense to a great degree.

    But Shane knows how to block, slip, duck and counter as well.

    He just isn't on PBF league in doing it.

    His style is to take a few more chances offensively which has the affect of putting his opponent on the defensive. This in turn acts like a defense for Shane to some degree.

    Less punches he has to slip, duck and or block. Because his opponent is doing all the slipping, ducking, and blocking.

    Mosley can and will take a Mayweather shot better than what Marquez did. Mosley will be faster than Marquez with both his hands and feet. I don't see mosley getting schooled in the same fashion JMM did, but I do see him losing a UD.

    Not as bad but he's still going to run away with it.

    Yes I did.

    But taking from the surprise of many. Most of you haven't been watching Shane closely.

    He actually parry's punches like that in the Ring.

    Go back and watch as he parry's Margo's left hooks to the body as he is stepping back and then throws his own right hand up top.

    Same move.
