Mosley lost many rounds to all kinds of mediocre fighters at 135. All that Mosley can teach us is how effective illegal hand wraps are.
Floyd didn't lose any rounds at all to Oscar.

Definitely head v heart prediction here...... Started off with Floyd winning easy, then thought Mosely might pull it off, went back to Floyd winning easily. I settled on Floyd winning it closely....I think Mosely will open up a lead but age and inactivity is a worry. PBF will dominate the later rounds IMO.
David Haye reckons Mosley will win, Pac thinks Mosley will win, Calzaghe thinks it's 50-50 as does Winky Wright. Juan Diaz and Berto think Mosley will win the early rounds but Floyd will win the later rounds and take a points win. Sergio Martinez thinks it will be close but Mayweather will win. Vargas and Juarez also pick Floyd. Angelo Dundee picks Shane on points and Buddy McGirt thinks Shane stood a chance 3 years ago but not now. From the scene.
Haye's a pretty astute judge of fights. He predicted Hopkins would give Calzaghe all kinds of problems and was 100% right. Same for Dundee, but he's a little less reliable now. Plus he'll admire Shane's work ethic, or maybe got confused and thought it was a historical match-up question about Ray. Anyway, after seeing Shane's ESPN interview, I'm a little worried. He seemed very out of sorts, but I'd never seen him interviewed before a fight before. Also, that sparring partner comment seemed to really bother him...
It's the feet he hasn't got that makes me jump into the Money camp. Every time he throws he plants, Floyd will just move laterally and re-set himself for some pot shotting. Easy night for Floyd, and yet another fight that does **** all towards justifying the lofty ranking so many give him.
Mosley's athletic slugging is all based around his feet too. He comes forward, plants, then starts throwing. As soon as he stops, he'll be hitting thin air. Pac has the feet, stamina and intensity to blow Floyd out of the water though. In my opinion.
abit off subject but i just spent 30 mins stressing i couldnt book the fight only 2 discover its not on pay per view just standard sky sports!! what a ****
