    This post is complete garbage. I know you feel you have to defend Floyd at all cost, and pump up his opponents no matter how old or small they are or both. But at least you try to be reasonable, everyone knows Mayorga gave Shane hell for half the fight, he was outboxing him from range. Everyone knows but this but you I guess. Did I say Margarito was landing flush on shane? No I did not, read better son.

    This post should be conclusive.

    Mosley has a better shot now than he would've 5 years ago. Now if you go back 10 years, that's probably Shane's best shot at winning.

    8-10 years ago would have been immense.

    2002, remove Castillo, remove Forrest, fight each other.
    Now THAT would have been a fight.

    5 years ago Shane was struggling, 2 UD's against substandard opposition, this Mosley has a far better chance, god knows what the TS was thinking.

    It's not like I said 5 years ago Mosley was at his best. He was better than he is now, he has to be, why would he be better now at 38? Because he beat Margarito a while back, a Margarito without his loaded gloves? 5 years ago wasn't the best Mosley, but he was still good enough to beat Floyd.

    5 years ago right after Shane got smacked by Winky then looked less then average against C level guys like Estrada and Cruz?

    He easily beat those c fighters. You just helped me make my point though, Mosley wasn't at his best 5 years ago but still much younger and better than now.

    He easily beat them but looked average doing it. Also in his last 4 fights Collazo he looked great and Collazo is a top 10 welterweight, Cotto he lost but still looked pretty good against the 2nd or 3rd best Welterweight in the world at the time, Mayorga he looked **** but that was also at 154 and then the Margarito fight....... enough said.

    no fighter at 40 is as good as they were at 35 no one it doesnt matter who they are. Floyd fans want you to think that to make the win mean something. If floyd wins it doesnt prove **** mosley is very old. Expect pac to fight mosley next and destroy him in much better fashion tko 3rd round. Then the cycle continues floyd beats fighter A then pac destroys fighter A. Run floyd run! tosser.

    But Shane destroyed Margarito, he's better than ever, age means nothing in boxing. 38 is the new 25.

    5 years ago Mosley wasn't ****. He was off the p4p list because the previous year he got beaten by Winky twice. I would have favored Floyd over Mosley even more back then.

    :-( damn thats ****ed up, 5 yrs ago mayweather had know chance ? now mayweather has a chance or just a little chance ? at least you can say shane is the 2nd best ww behind mayweather or p4p number 3 guy in the world.mayweather beat the p4p 2 guy know hes fighting number 3.
    how ever you look at it, shane is still the best ww next to floyd and he is the real p4p number 3 fighter in the world.behind only manny and mayweather.with that being sayed it is a super fight.33 vs and young 38 is not that bad at all.all i know is the better man will win the fight, im not sure if shane every had the skill set of mayweather.im going with mayweather 10yrs ago or now.

    Might have to go a little further back than 5 years.. It could be that that period could have been a low point in his career and he rebounded.
