    I think Mayweather wins easy .. shades of Charles/ Louis ... amazed that many give a 38 year old fighter coming off an 18 month layoff a shot of upset ... Floyd by wide decision ...

    I think Mayweather will win but I honestly hope Mosley can knock him out.

    Mayweather will win comfortable on points imo. Mosley should really try his hardest to work the body, which he is really good at. It can't be understated how helpful a good body attack is for the man who's giving it. My prediction is that at times Mayweather will have Mosley without ideas of what to really do, as his punches are being blocked. Mosley should just try and maintain a good distance where he can consistently work the body imo. But he'll probably get outmaneuvred doing that.

    Is Mosley that good a body-puncher at this sort of level? Certainly he couldn't get it to count against Winky.

    Well he is a quality body puncher, he's done it to good opposition in the realm of De La Hoya, but no he's not as great as it gets. But i just think it's his best bet, he's got no chance outboxing him, and winging shots at Mayweather hardly works. He's not a great technician either, but he's a good body puncher, which is valuable when all is said and one, very imo.

    The Winky fight is part of my basis for saying that Mosley will be left clueless at times. When Winky put his guard up, Mosley as just flurrying at hs gloves, befuddled, it looked like Winky was doing the pads with Mosley. I know Winky was a master of the peek-a-boo defense but Mayweather has a complete defense also.

    It's weird the way Floyd forces guys off balance when they punch to the body. Freaks me out a bit. He doesn't do it all the time but when he does it I just pretend isn't happening...haha.
