    IMHO the size difference on the weigh in was very apparent, Shane Mosley's upper body compare to Floyd's was huge even though they are the same height (almost). I don't remember if DLH was bigger than Shane in the fight with May which i know it was on the JMW division.... So i was thinking, is this the biggest and strongest fighter Floyd has ever faced?

    its not just shanes size that makes him extremely dangerous to floyd because baldomir was built like a middleweight,its shane combination of size,strength,speed & skill that make him floyds toughest fight since castillo.so yeah i believe shane is one of the biggest opponents floyds faced.

    Well Oscar was bigger at 154, that's for sure. Shane is stronger than Oscar though in my opinion.

    Oscar and Baldomir were bigger. Shane is huge compared to Floyd, though, I agree.

    Shane has more power then both of them,and shane is the strongest opponent floyd has ever faced

    and hes also gon be the very first TRUE welterweight that floyd has ever stepped in the ring with

    That makes things very interesting

    Yes most definitely, but i think it will be a few years to late.Look at Mayweather's last few opponents,they are either smaller than him or older than him and this case older than him (since he waited for shane to get much older to take the fight) so size might not matter.But i hope it sure in the hell does!!!

    Oscar at 154lbs was a big guy.

    Mosley considered a heavy hitter(or one of the strongest hitting welterweights) when he's only knocked out 3 out of 14 fighters since 2002 and lost 5 times since then? Before people start talking about Margarito again, keep in mind that he was a cheater -_- for who knows how long.

    Oscar at 154 was clearly the biggest and the strongest you ****ing moron. Early on he certainly didn't have a problem backing Floyd up to the ropes.
