Do you agree that ALL the pressure is on Floyd?

    he is younger and the betting favorite, and considered the better fighter as of now. No one would be suprised if Mosley lost a decision... it expected almost. Shane is clearly the underdog but he seems VERY up for the fight and in tremendous condition. If Mayweather does not have the same desire, even if he is the more talented fighter, it could cost him. Thoughts?

    All the pressure is definitely on Mayweather...everyone wants to see Mayweather Pacquiao. Pacquiao got through his opponent...now Mayweather has to do the same.

    Even though all the pressure is on Mayweather...I doubt he will be feeling any pressure.

    I think even Floyd himself knows all the pressure is on him, he and his fans can knock Shane all they want but the truth is in Shanes resume and in his Kayo ratio the kid can clearly fight.
    and its as hagler said, its kinda hard to get up in the morning and do your roadwork when your sleeping in silk PJs

    Mayweather's the favourite, so yeah the pressure is on him to win.

    But Mayweather's always the favourite, so I don't expect it to make any difference to how he approaches the fight.

    There's no more pressure on Floyd then there is for any other fight he has had.
    Floyd is the favorite, and rightly so. No one is expecting Floyd to look good, all he has to do is win. Floyd can stink out the joint in his typical safety first style, and that is what everyone expects.
    If anything, the pressure is on Mosley to try and make a fight break out. Mosley old, he's washed up. No one expects Shane to win, but he needs to at least look good if he wants to continue boxing. If Shane looks clumsy or ineffective, he really loses any future prospects. Shane needs to look good tonight, and against Floyd that is difficult, because Floyd will refuse to engage.

    Well there's alot of pressure on both fighters tonight. Shane to comeback from inactiveness and let age be nothing but a number so he can give a great performance. Mayweather to prove why he's seen as the favorite in this matchup and set up a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight sometime. If Floyd struggles with Mosley then that'll raise questions and the same would go for Mosley if he gets outclassed. Despite the odds this really is a pick em fight in my opinion and I hope to see a great fight. Overall the pressure is on Mayweather's court more though.

    Yep. Shane has nothing to lose. He should go right at PBF with pressure see what happens and adjust accordingly.

    I think the pressure would be on him if he had that kind of mind, but i dont think he does.

    He seems to mentally disregaurd any negative that goes against him so i dont think it makes any difference in his mind which is all that matters.

    His views on the fight will be exactly the same as his fighting style. Clear, calm and relaxed.

    Mosley has nothing to lose at this point in his career.

    After Jin, Floyd will be a cakewalk.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. Shane's had a hard life with that *****.
