    I'd pick Floyd to win but Mosley certainly has a shot.

    Lets face facts...this will be one of the best fights in history :deal

    In the end MM will show how good his speed, evasion and movement is against a HOF 'er

    I'd favour Floyd to win by decision. I'd have taken Mosley to win had they fought at 135 but now I think Floyd will beat him to the punch and box cautiously en route to a decision.

    Hope it happens though, should be a very interesting fight.

    To beat Floyd, you have to be able to take his punches, and walk him down. Shane works brilliantly off the ropes, and his hand speed is such that Floyd may find it hard to counter the way he usually does.

    He can be out-worked because he's a low-output fight, but I think Brother Naziim will have the perfect strategy to beat Floyd.

    Shane not only has as he is the only one who has what it takes to beat Floyd in a Mega Boxing event. Shane has height & reach, much more punching power and physicallity ( overhand right, horsekick left hook, beautiful and effective body punching), fluid boxing skills, super-fast, coordinated combo punching ability, accuracy and finesse, strength and stamina against Floyd's super-fitness, incredible defense ( shoulder roll, leg-movement, radar), lightning-striking cobra-like reflexes out of defense ( sneaky right hands, snapping jab, check left hook), athleticism and boxing I.Q. Perfect boxing even match.

    You have to remember the source. This is the same guy who said Dawson would never fight Johnson again and would duck him. As soon as the rematch was signed he bashed Dawson for taking the fight and gave him no credit for the win. That's how these haters work. They will never give PBF credit no matter who he fights and will have excuses afterwards and paulfvs post is a perfect example of how they work.:deal

    If Floyd's picking Mosley it's because he has nowhere worthwhile to go without Manny at the helm. Look at it this way: if Floyd beats Shane, he has a belt, he's got an argument to be the number one WW in the world again, he would definitely have an argument to be P4P number one, and he would be offering Manny a unified title.

    Basically, at theat point he now has enough leverage, a convincing win (hopefully for him) and respect from the boxing industry to demand what he wants from a potential match with Manny.

    He has the best shot outside maybe Williams....doesnt mean he will win. Mosley is a bit hittable, and neglects defense when he is on the offensive. His jab doesnt snap and he paws with it, which will make him a sucker for the counter right, PBF best punch. Also Cotto's jab was accurate imagine how Mayweather will be. Also Mosley is quick and powerful, and will make Mayweather work, but he makes lots of mistakes technically that Mayweather will capitalize on. ACCURACY WINS THE FIGHT PBF W12

    Nope all of a sudden mosley has gone back to being a 38 year washed up fighter who lost to cotto and struggled with mayorga.

    Expect to hear this a lot now.
