    Who wins this? They both fought from LW - WW during these stretches. Yes, Mayweather won a clear decision over Mosley when Mosley was 76 years old... but Mosley did have Mayweather badly hurt in the 3rd round.

    My gut tells me Mayweather by razor close decision but I'm not confident in this pick. I wouldn't bet on this fight

    I think Mayweather's intelligence and overall ring skills/adapability would be the difference. 7-5, 8-4 type decision.

    If a Mosley well past his best could almost drop May.. I see a prime Mosley being able to drop him.. not KO.. but get a UD vs. May. Mosley beat a prime ODL... that to me is better than pretty much anybody May beat.

    Agree Kurupt. However I believe Mosley stops him. A 38 year old Mosley let him off the hook, I feel Mosleys powerboxing times and catches Mayweather and goes in for the kill.
