    Does anyone else believe that, as a highly intelligent boxer, Floyd will recognise that Sugar Shane has as good or maybe the best chance anyone has of beating him and that maybe he'll get 'the fear' and decide not take the risk of a points decision.
    Most experts and bookmakers are saying points, but I believe that Sugar Shane will make Floyd come out and we will get to see the old agressive FMJ.
    Is it too far-fetched to fancy Floyd to end it before the final bell?

    He couldn't stop JMM but he's going to stop Shane Mosley?

    Yeah right.

    Maybe if he beats him-up like he beat corrales. I can't see mosley getting counted out though.

    Floyd a *****, he's going to connect with couple of shots start of each round and then then run away for the rest, easy UD Mayweather as much as i hope he gets ****ed up

    Even if Floyd comes on with an imaginable volume of sharp and precise punches, pressing his opponent to the finish like against Genaro Hernandez, DeMarcus Corley, Phillip NDou, Henry Bruseles, Sharmba Mitchell and even Zab Judah, he doesn't have the strength to stay in there and overpower Shane. His best chance to get to Shane is hurt him bad on the countershot like with that check hook on Hatton and then finish him off.

    the only way that this would happen is if shane is shot to pieces.

    No chance. Floyd will be more than happy to settle by decision.

    I didn't necessarily mean a 10-count, but maybe the ref stopping it, the corner retiring him?
    I've got a funny feeling Shane is going to go all-out and if he doesn't get through, it will become a very long night for him.

    his punch output at welter isn't high enough to gain a stoppage win over someone who's punch resistance is as good as shanes.

    If only stating the obvious meant something vs the *****s. For eveyone else, Mosley is a huge step up and won't be a sleepwalk for Mayweather.

    I see someone stopping it if Mosley gets knocked down one too many times.

    The world will turn upside down if Floyd gets a TKO on Mosley, and I can't even imagine a true blue KO.

    I think there is a chance, although relatively small. I think if Mosely were to be stopped it would be by the corner. Maybe if he was getting shut out and it was looking hopeless, I could see them stopping it in rounds 10-12. I would be pretty surprised if this happend and if it did, I would hope Mayweather would get the credit he deserves.

    I think he makes Mosley pull out late.
