    But the more i watch the Pressers it doesnt seem to me the easy UD i first envisioned. I underestimated just how fired up Shane is and how regardless of the layoff he keeps himself in top shape all year round and Shane has a top trainer in Nazim Richardson. Still think Floyd will win outboxing Mosley but Shane is a real live underdog.

    They will take Floyds 0, but I think its a pick-em, Floyd looks very strong physically and we know he's there with it all, reflexes, mental game, you name it.

    It'll be a toss up on the night, if Shane does not win early rounds hes ****ed.

    every fighter gets a spark when they know they are going to fight floyd. Be the first to pop floyd's 0 will make anyone famous.

    Hey I wouldn't be suprised if Mosley was the first person to penetrate Floyd's 0.

    Shane will be dangerous for the first 6 rounds and then Floyd will pull away. I just hope Mosley can land big early on.

    War Sugar!

    I think Floyd will win..I just hope Mosley really makes him fight for it!

    Also, i hope Mosley has a better jab, sometimes he throws a half-arsed jab just so he can throw his right over it.

    Have people not been watching Mosley fights? It seems people watched Mosley defeat Oscar, then skipped every single fight for the 9 years in between and then watched him beat Margarito. In between that time span, Shane met up with the unpopular dude we call Father Time. Yeah he beat Tony Margarito, but that's because Margarito doesn't believe in defending himself.
    Floyd will have an easy time with Mosley. Mosley does not have the foot speed anymore to catch up with PBF. Mosley's hands are still good, but his legs are not. Cotto's legs were quick enough to outmaneuver Mosley, and Cotto is generally not of the running persuasion. Floyd will run and pot shot with ease.

    Shane needs some pop in that jab and as Oscar showed for 8 rounds if you stick a jab in to Floyds face consistently you can unsettle him.

    by fight time nearly half the board will be picking Mosley. 24/7 will have people even more convinced that Shane is gonna knock PBF's block off.

    If you're planning to bet on Floyd then it would be wise to wait until the end of April

    It all depends on Floyd's chin. He will get hit and to the body. Pretty hard at 33 to get your first true tough challenge.

    Everytime Shane fought an elite boxer, he's gotten outboxed.

    History tells us.........
