    Too bad that Shane Mosley, in his prime,as a lightweight did'nt meet Floyd Mayweather, at his best...Then again Mayweather ,surely would have never agreed to that match.For good reason....Prime Mosley licks prime Mayweather equal weights....Now it is a toss up....

    He's closer to his prime than Mosley.

    Shane looks old.......so does Floyd........at least Shane has a trainer who knows how to deal with old guys AND strategy.

    I think Flyods footspeed/movement will be the difference in this fight.

    I hate seeing these press conferences and all this gay WWE-style bull****. Why they have to get so close to each other i do not know.

    The only reason Floyd wanted the fight was Shane was fresh off 2 loses....Prime for prime at 135 Shane beats him....Now Floyd has the advantage but Shane wants this and still has some speed and power and takes a good shot....This will be interesting but Floyd will run his ass off

    :huhMosley didn't lose until fighting Forrest in 2002. The reason he decided not to fight Floyd because Floyd wasn't as known as he is now and why fight Floyd when you can get bigger bucks against a prime Oscar?

    Looks like Shane is growing a bit of a Tommy Hearns style afro for the fight.

    Learn your time line and facts straight, Floyd tried to get the Mosley fight when Shane was at 135 in 2000, he called him out again after Mosley beat Delahoya. He called him out again in 2006 after Shane beat Vargas twice and had a few more wins at WW. Mayweather never called Shane out straight after he lost to Winky, thats pure BS, he called Winky out after Winky beat Mosley and Winky overvalued himself

    When was the first time Mosley called out Mayweather? 2009
