    couldn't agree with u more...He's a live dog. But that doesn't make me want to bet mosley. Just because he's live, doesn't mean he wins over 20% of the time which he has to to make it a profitable bet

    Shane has not fought a fast or technical guy with a good corner. He has a good corner now. Not saying Naazim is a ****ing god like it has been insinuated, but just that it is a distinct improvement and as such an X-factor that could certainly make things interesting. As Naazim has said, he wasn't brought in to teach Shane how to fight. Jack Mosley tought him how to fight. He brought Naazim in for strategy, which has been distinctly lacking when as you rightly say, he fights slick boxers.

    Very, very true and just about spot on. Which is why I bet Mayweather UD. But I in no way am counting that money before it comes back to me, you know?

    Size. Mosley never has this advantage on opponents but he will vs Floyd. How he uses his size advantage will be key.

    Close rounds. I think Mosley has the ability be active enough to make rounds seem close. If he piles on enough of these rounds, certain judges will give him the decision.

    Gameplan. To me, Nazim Richardson is a competent trainer which counts for a lot imo.

    No one has discussed Mosley's body attack and how it might affect Floyd. Mosley is one of the most viscious rib *******s in the sport today.

    (****, I hate it when the server censors that other name for Saltines)

    Good point. Especially when we know Floyd has been hurt there before. You can still see he wears that rib protector in training.

    i know im in the minority, but i think shane is going to make floyd look very beatable. his size alone is going to give floyd problems by crowding him more than he is used to. he is not going to be able to push off and forearm shane like he is used to doing to smaller guys. the threat of shanes power will not allow floyd to rest during rounds and will tire him mentaly and physically by the last couple of rds. floyd will probably outpoint him but he will have to stink up the joint to do it. i think by the 9th rd floyd will be avoiding all exchanges and pissing off everyone who coughed up a grant to watch it.

    Now what I want to know is what is everybody gonna say thats picking Mosely now gonna say if Floyd completely and thoroughly dominates Mosley like just about everybody else?

    Are y'all gonna finally give the man his respect or are y'all gonna make excuses & flee back to Pacquiaos nutsack until Pacquiao gets the same beatdown Shane got.

    Or will ya'lll and the media invent some new miracle fighter who y'all think can beat Floyd to be ya'll new hero?

    I'm thinking Mayweather UD, but I'm not underestimating Shane.

    I cant see shane getting a one punch knockout. I cant see shane landing enough to get an accumulation of punches to get a knockout. his only chance is a close UD or SD. I see floyd winning a mildly entertaining ud.

    People underrates Shane too much and most overrates Floyd too much. Yes Floyd is a very talented boxer with an "0" in his record. Floyd's a great talent with tremendous speed, but Shane still has some left in him too. Shane has fought every boxer and seen it all. He is old but he still has some left. People thinks Shane will come and start pressing the action, I say no. He will be the aggressor in this fight, but he will pick his shots. And YES, Shane has the power to KO Floyd.

    Shane by KO, and I predict within six. Bold ehhh.

    I pick Shane because I believe he has the size advantage and punching power to stop Mayweather. Also he has the speed and quickness to connect that power.
