Mosley's best chance would have been at 135, but at the same time, he could have got knocked out himself at that weight. Floyd was the complete package as a lightweight+ the punching power.
Mayweather is faster and will control the pace. Remember Cotto beat Mosley on speed. Cotto was faster than Margarito, but Margarito was not slowed by it. Mosley was.
I think PBF would pull out the win. Shane just is not good with slick boxers and PBF is very slick. I have always said it though Cotto is a nightmare for PBF. PBF is no Margo and he is not gonna walk through punches to get his own in. Cottos jab would be the key here and his body punching. I will always favor Cotto against PBF.
I think Floyd would probably win a decision, but no ****ing way in hell he knocks Shane out. Shane doesn't get knocked out.
Prime for prime I'd pick Mosley. Now, I don't know. It depends on Shane can roll back the clock one more time and put on the performance of his career, and on whether or not Floyd has diminished at all over the course of his lay-off. If everything comes together, Shane could pull it off, but under any other circumstance, Floyd wins by decision.
Shane will get stopped -- He gets hit alot ... he doesn't have good movement ... he gets hit to the body ... he doesn't fight that well on the inside.
I really dislike Floyd, but he definitely wins this one...Unless he really detirirated since his lay off.
Well Im not going to say this is a ridiculous statement because as much as you got on my nerves before the Mosley vs Margarito fight you was probably the only one who said that Mosley was going to knock Margarito out. I cant see Mayweather knocking out Mosley no chance, I doubt Mayweather would be able to consistently hit Shane with big power shots. I think it could well be the other way around, I think this fight would boil down to execution If Mayweather chooses to pot shot and be on his bike all Shane would have to do is look the busier and just keep pressuring Floyd, also trying to land cleanly to body, if not head and we may see a different outcome. I favour Mosley though.
Floyd by UD..I don't see any proof at all that Mosley could "knock him out." Floyd has been down 1 time in his career and he took a knee cuz he broke his hand..I also couldn't see Floyd knocking Mosley out as floyd doesn't have much more speed than Mosley..Floyd UD
