    How exciting are you expecting Mayweather vs Mosley to be on a scale of 1-10 and why?



    I think about a 4-5. It should be good for the first couple of rounds but once Mayweather finds his rhythm Mosley will be countered silly. I expect another boxing clinic win for Mayweather but it just wont be that exciting to watch.

    One of those fights that's exciting or intriguing enough for hardcore fans while it's going on, because of the suspense factor in not knowing what's going to happen, but lacking enough action to really have much replay value.

    I'm excited because I want to see who wins. That is it. I have low expectations, it's a PBF fight. Which means, no excitement. Pfft.

    I voted "9". I'm sure it will be exciting. I actually appreciate FMJ's style of fighting. The buildup to this fight started off good, but has slowed down in my opinion. If Mosley is at his best, FMJ should not outclass him, and Mosley might even knock him down. May the best boxer win.

    Mildly entertaining. It's a Mayweather fight so that's about the best you can hope for.

    I can expect Shane fans to be on the edge of their seats for the first few rounds until reality sets in and they see their boy losing rounds and getting his ears boxed off and by the end of the night they'll feel just as dissapointed as the rest of us.

    Mayweather's best bet is to take every ounce of excitement out of this fight.
    The more exciting it is the more likely the fight tilts in Mosley's favor.
    This is likely to be another Floyd/DLH.
    However I think Mosley is more likely than DLH to make Floyd want to trade, and also Floyd today feels the need to prove something to the world. This mental state might be his undoing.

    Mosley by decision.

    I expect it to be high energy and quick but not many big punches landed. It will be a great fight for those who like to see speed and defense. The promoters did a great job in selling Shane as being better than he was for beating Margarito. Oscar has a better left hook than Shane and that is why he put Floyd more on the defensive. I can see Floyd a little more aggressive with Shane once he starts to land. What Shane has to do to change the tenor of the fight is to land something big or hard on Floyd to make him think about Shane's power. If Shane does not land anything early, Floyd will easily win a decision of maybe stop the fight on TKO on cuts or something.

    I think it has the potential to be a great fight. It all depends on Mosley's plan of attack vs Mayweather.

    everyboyd will be shitting their pants with excitement during the anthem and introduction but after the 1st round it will kick in what kind of fight they expect the next 11 rounds and all that excitement will be thrown away.

    6 - but I expect to see a boxing clinic from PBF - if not exciting, I expect to be in awe of his skills once again!!!

    Always a chance SSM will suprise us though.

    It all depends on Mosley's legs. If he can get close enough to Floyd and throw combinations then Floyd is going to be forced to fight back.

    I'm only excited because I wanna know who's gonna win. I pretty sure Mayweather will win via UD but of course I could be wrong. I doubt the fight itself will be entertaining.

    If Shane is as good as he was during the Margarito fight then we are in for a treat. I don't know if he can muster another performance like that though. That fight was over a year ago and he is in his late 30's so time isn't on his side. I thought he was shot after the Mayorga fight to be honest. He proved me wrong big time.

    probably not very. Expect it to be a slow burner, with lots of feights and movement - cant see a war taking place at any stage. If Shane can force the fight tho - we could see some fireworks
