    No, it means I can barely tolerate you kids now, I won't even be able to see a real boxing conversation in the aftermath.

    but take it however you like, it doesn't matter to me.

    Well you can always hang out in the Lounge (you know, drunk and all) until this thing settles down.

    Mayweather. He has the best defense as of current, we expect him to have a solid chin, and what punch resistance he does have is still there as he's taken very little punishment throughout his career.
     
  4. If he gets a 1 punch KO, then it will be a lucky punch. But if he breaks him down and stops him there's no way you can say it's a lucky punch.

    You mean the kids would have been right all along and you would have been wrong.

    It's no big deal, every arsehole has an opinion after all.:wink:

    No, they'd try to turn a win over a huge underdog who is almost 40 years old into the instant certification that floyd is god.

    Not like they don't already try, but it would be unbearable.

    You already saw that happen when Calzaghe beat Jones.

    To be fair though, Mosley is not a HUGE underdog and is not remotely as shot as Jones was. So a Mayweather win will be a pretty good one for him, if he can get it that is.

    It will be a good win, it was an even better win for winky and forrest.

    Watch what his fans do on the 2nd.
    It'll be border line gay.

    I would be surprised if Shane Ko's Floyd.
    But I would be very,very shocked if Floyd KO's Shane... As far as I know, he never KO'd somebody who even has a good chin, let alone a granite chin like Shane has. I think it's going to be a boring 12 round backfoot UD for Floyd, but I put my vcash on a win for Shane.

    Agreed.

    I have no doubts, especially if he wins in an impressive fashion.

    Your logic, or lack thereof, makes my brain hurt.

    I thought Mosley has only been down 1 time by Forrest.

    Mayweather getting knocked out. I've seen plenty of fighters with good chins and no defense get knocked out. It's much more rare for a defensive master who is at or near the top of his game get stopped.

    Mosley went down twice against Forrest in the second round of their first fight...a lot of people don't seem to remember that.

    I wouldn't say it would make him god but it would be a huge win against someone who people view as being the man at welterweight, fighting at his best weight and coming off a knockout victory over Margarito even if he is coming off a lay off due to a previous fight falling through.

    I don't remember Mosley's age or the fact he would go into the fight as a betting underdog being an issue when Mayweather was supposedly scared of him at the end of last year.:think

    You wanted him to prove himself against better opposition and to fight men his own size and now he's doing it, yet you seem to be making excuses for not giving him credit if he wins before the fight has even started.
