    Straight up or if it goes the distance?

    If the fight goes to a decison, will the benefit of the doubt of questionable rounds go to the champion, Mosley, like in most big fights?

    Or do you think Mayweather will be treated like the champion?

    If a round is ridiculously close, they will either go to the aggressor or be scored a draw i'd imagine.

    Shane will be the aggressor and with a rematch clause there will be no draw rds. Mayweather will not be aggressive all night, he is going to have to rely on accurate shots to win rds.

    Good point. Is Mosley a better mover and boxer than De La Hoya? I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Of course he does cause he has the class and the skills not to mention that he is the stronger welterweight. A well respected fighter and as been told the title holder. Unfortunately, some may believe that Floyd's movement and posing mean anything and in even rounds, the judges may tend up to him, or not.

    I ask the question because I think Mosley can pull it off, especially if it goes to a decision. I think Mosley will be the aggressor which will be helpful.

    Youth and hand speed are on Mayweather's side, but I'll be pulling for Mosley.

    Joe Fraizer once said that as long as any one has 2 fist, they have a shot.

    Yeah, but Mayweather will pick-up rounds based on his reputation

    Yes Mosley has a good shot because he possess good speed, great chin, nice pop and he is aggressive. I don't see Mosley winning this though.

    Even if it comes to only ballpark close, the decision goes where the money is.
