    The 8 blood test that Mosley has taken.

    While I guess Mayweather has only taken 7.

    I might have said ring mileage, I think that's a good fallback, but I'm going to go with foot speed. I think people underestimate how much Floyd's agility and quick feet are a fundamental aspect of his whole game. I.E. distance control/timing/ect. It's about 80% of what he does and it all comes off his legs and feet. Watch the Marquez fight again for a refresher. You can't do **** to Floyd unless you have the mobility to keep up with him. Shane isn't the sort of fighter to gracefully cover 8 feet of distance with a few subtle movements. Never at any point. He's too straight up and down, too short with his moves.

    Floyd has been in tough fights and has made adjustments to win. I feel Mayweather is the best guy in boxing for changing a game plan mid fight. Hatton giving him a hard time then mid way through a big turn around. Judah he was getting hit and havin a hard time then turned it around. Then vs Oscar it was a tough fight then from 9 on it was a sweep. Moseley needs to be able to fight a 12 round fight flawless and be able to adapt to Floud who will adapt to what ever Shane brings to the table

    Ajustments. This is what I think also. We will see in the first few rounds if Shane is able to land on Mayweather and if he can it will be about who can make the adjustments. If he can't the story of the fight will be Floyd's defence.

    We're gonna find out how big Mosley's is and we're gonna find out Mayweather has one when Mosley drags him into that "scary place" he's never been to.

    We'll see who's right about this! Boxing knowledge gets demonstrated here. Impressive to the people who can call this. I'd say "the story of the fight" type analysis has to be fundamental for anyone who calls themselves a semi-serious armchair expert. :yep I'm going with the feets.

    Hand Speed 2 7.41% We Know they are fast
    Foot Speed 4 14.81% We Know they are fast
    Punching Power 0 0% They both have been in with punchers
    Intelligence 11 40.74% 2 vets gotta be intelligent
    Heart 4 14.81% Heart they both have it and have had tough fights
    Durability 0 0% Both have withstood pressure and fought tough long bouts
    Ring Mileage 2 7.41% Theyboth have it
    Styles They mesh so well thats why this is such a superfight


    When it boils down to it I think the middle rounds are gonna decide this one in Floyd's fights the middle and end rounds usually do. Can Moseley fight a disciplined complete fight. Can Floyd stay smart the entire fight and avoid Moseley's devestaing power at welter. Its coming down to who executs makes the least mistakes and who takes it into that next gear down the stretch.
