    Juiced to the gills prime Mosley, pitted against the best version of Mayweather, I honestly think that it would be close for the first five rounds with a majority going to Shane Floyd’s lack of power and Shane’s granite chin being the main factor Mosley if left out of check was ferocious.
    I think eventually Floyd befuddles him to a deserved split decision after an early escape or two.

    I can't see Mosley ever being that competitive. He always had a very pourous defense, with low hands and poor head movement. Mosley's best chance of a win is a knock out if Mayweather gets overly adventurous. But Floyd would probably know better. He might get tagged, but providing he isn't taken out, he adjusts and boxes conservatively, like when they actually fought.

    So wide decision 95% Mayweather or 5% Mosley early KO.
