Classic's View of Mayweather/Mosley ?

Mayweather tries to keep the fight at distance, Mosley presses forward. Mosley is strong, Floyd is forced to put some heat on him to keep control of the distance, the fight gets very good and remains close. The fight ends with a late TKO or UD. I expect this to be a very good fight not a run fest. :blood

 

Why don't you wait until at least the last part of April?

 

**** i shouldn't be the first one to contribute...but then again i don't wanna have to follow mcgrain (**** i was too long winded and follow mcgrain)

i see the key to beating mosley being a great jab and that ain't something mayweather has. of course, as another poster whose name escapes me noted, mosley has zero defense against right hands.

i see mayweather keeping distance and discouraging mosley with right hands. if mosley goes into the same lapse he exhibited in the first wright fight, mayweather will harmlessly pepper him all night to a lopsided decision. if mosley treats this as what it is and the biggest fight of his career, he will press mayweather who cannot match his combinations or power. mayweather's speed if greater but will be completely nullfied by mosley's pressure.

that's if mosley can impose himself. i see mosley getting this accomplished for four rounds, landing harder and better shots than oscar but napping throughout the majority of the fight. mayweather will steal 8 rounds based on distance and straight rights with the majority of those watching feeling mosley could have won if he had pushed himself more or was 5 years younger

 

I'm with you. It's not like this is the first Mayweather/Pacquiao thread here, they're here all the time now.

EDIT- this is a reply to McGrain

 

I think if Mosely looses it's going to be mostly age related in that he slowed down. Certainly he has a power advantage, probably but debatably an experience advantage and his only shortcoming relative to Mayweather is speed, both hands and foot. But I think Mosely has enough experience to negate Mayweather's speed, which makes it very interesting, cause the one thing I've ALWAYS wanted to see Mayweather do, it actually fight..ala Duran, rather than just box. The greats can do both. So for Mayweather to win this fight, I think he'll have to well..fight

 

IMO Mayweather wins it clearly. He will outbox Mosley who will be game and at times successful but in the end will be beaten. Something like 8-4 or even 9-3 with every round being contested.

 

you're just keeping things real on here mcgrain:good

 

Can I ask what you consider the timeline is for the Classic Forum I have held back from posting a couple of times as I was unsure if it was appropriate timewise.
