    So he pretty much says Mosley is done, so don't give him credit if he beats Shane?

    His reason is also the reason I think he will win this fight.

    I'll give him credit if he beats Mosley. The only reason Floyd says this stuff if to put his own mine at ease.

    Honestly, i feel like reading my own criticism towards Shane. I'm sure i have a post somewhere saying similar points. Though, i inserted a "caught loaded gloves factor" why (1) Margo is demotivated in the fight, and (2) Margo turns out not as good as we thought, his victories - especially the recent ones becomes questionable. Also, come fight night - Mosley is 16 months off from his last fight and 39 years old.

    If floyd beats mosley i will give him full credit. Mosley is one tough son of a *****. I remember a couple months back many people were saying floyd would never fight a true welterweight. Well mosley was recognised as the best WW out there before this match came together. Therefore you can only give mayweather credit of beating the best Welterweight out there.

    why? that's floyd's opinion, don't you have an opinion for yourself. if you believe that mosley is done, then you can state that opinion before the fight, not after the fight, and put the win down if floyd wins. if you don't agree with floyd and you believe shane is a tougher fight than floyd suggests, and then floyd wins, then you should give floyd credit as it was something you didn't expect, not what floyd expects. maybe it's time for you to think for yourself.

    hmm says . . .

    yes, he contradicted himself again...

    not only that, I also doubt that he doesn't study tapes of his opponents...

    Why should you care whether he studies tapes or not of his opponents?

    Floyd is a boxing fan i've seen many of fights were he's ring side.

    He watches them fight but doesn't sit in a dark room and watch tapes of his opponents that's studying...

    Floyd's just provided his haters with a quote which they will now point to as proof Mosley was over the hill if he wins:patsch

    I don't read too much into what Floyd says. He won't give Shane any credit and believes he will dominate the fight and talks as such - he won't be coming out with any pro Mosley comments.

    Margarito was a fair bit heavier than Mosley when they fought and the Cotto fight was close, albeit fair in my opinion.

    At least Shane fought these guys....
