    Messing with you man.

    Anyway, on the real people said the same thing about ODLH it was true. Mosley has done a few interviews with a purple nose. You get those "raspberries" from a person with a fast jab. Now guessing that the guy is sparring with a full face guard, the guy might have had a mean 2 behind the 1.

    I want to see it, but I don't see why everyone is so hyped about this fight. It is Cotto/Mosley all over again, but with better foot work, hands speed, and without the gassing. Worse for Mosley.

    Usually when a top fighter starts getting his ass handed in sparring, it's a good indicator Father time has caught up.

    Cotto has a better jab than floyd, and he threw it more often than floyd will throw his.

    Better? Cotto just threw it more often, but FMJ is more accurate and has better timing. That will "freeze" Mosley.

    Rumors mean nothing and I expected this considering Shane's age for people to say hes getting beat up.

    Holyfield was owned in sparring leading up to the Tyson fight. We all know what happened.

    We'll see in May.

    I have little doubt in my mind that Shane will bring in the people he thinks that will prepare him best for the fight. Never underestimate his coach Richardson. I really don't know Floyd's temperament. It seems to me that he would have a harder time bringing in guys that might show him up. And let's not have anyone bring the 'no one could do that' crap. There are ways to equalize things when sparring.

    You mean when they took the headgear off and his headbutts could be more effective?

    Buy into them if you like, sometimes false rumors get started by the camp in question anyways just to send out smoke screens, the way I see this fight Mosley was one week out from fighting Berto for the WBC title and Berto had to pull out due to the earthquake in his homeland.

    Mosley was already in shape and ready to go, and as long as he took some time to rest his body, and got right back to work Mayweather basicly gave him two more months to get ready for this fight, meaning one of two things will happen here, the first being Shane would have over trained for this fight.

    However I tend to beleive that with Nazim Richardson and the experience of Mosley that wont be an issue, they more than likely took the correct ammount of time to allow his body to re adjust got in the right sparring partners and has been giving time to get in that much better shape going in.

    I do not see this as an easy fight for Floyd nor for Mosley, but I am glad Shane has been given this extra time in the gym I am sure that by the time may 1st gets here Mosley is going to be a beast...

    And regarding Floyd looking pristine in sparring, come on for **** sakes he gets most of his work in with Baldimor for **** sakes of course he is going to look pristine in sparring.

    I'm rooting for Shane but Mayweather has Mosley's kryptonite in that ****ing jab.

    If you have better footwork and an elite jab, you can beat Mosley.
