    Cos all those cats don't have the movement Floyd does and they all like to fight. Mayweather doesnt fight.

    This is the biggest factor in the fight for me, Shanes legs. I re-watched the Cotto fight in particular man and his legs were gone after the 3rd, he was fighting in straight lines and was pretty flat footed. Margo is a punchbag, and Collazo likes the pocket to fight.

    I think after about the 4th, Floyd pot shots him to pieces earning either a late stoppage or UD.

    Mosely for me got one chance and thats a punchers chance. I see this as one of Floyd's easier fights, and I'm being honest when I say that.

    Margarito was tailor made for Mosley, a lot of people don't seem to understand that. It was essentially brawler v brawler, yet one was quicker, more experienced, more defensively sound, much more gifted technically and more powerful. Guess which one?

    Margarito was open to be hit all night and has non-existent footwork so could never move out harms way. His defence is that of a club fighterr, and Mosley could hammer him at will with right hands and left hooks. Cotto managed it for a good 8-10 rounds before he gassed, yet he wasn't as resiliant as Mosley and that's why he lost.

    Cintron lost becase he wasn't resiliant aswell, when he saw Margarito had a good chin he was broken mentally. In hindsight, Mosley was always in the position to win that fight. Floyd is a different animal altogether, we aren't talking about a guy with a literally non-existent defence here. He has one of the best guards in the sport, great lateral movement and footwork and excellent reflexes, combining to give him overall the BEST defence in the sport, not one of the worst.

    Even if he puts on a 'Margarito-type performance' it won't look like a 'Margarito-type' performance because Mayweather ain't Margarito. Couldn't be any further from Margarito.

    It will pan out differently. I can't see anything but Mayweather UD. Written all over it.

    I hope Mosley doesn't use the same tactics he applied against Margarito, if he does, this bout will not be close. Mayweather will run away with a UD. Mosley has to use a jab, if he throws everything into 'each and every punch', and misses/doesn't connect, it could be a long night for him. Possibly even resulting in a late TKO.

    That's what I'm expecting from Mosley, a "Margarito-type performance" where every punch is thrown with bad intentions. Mosley's way to victory is probably by KO only. He can't outpoint Floyd (specially in Las Vegas) as many of you pointed out. Mosley is smart enough to know this already so I predict Mosley will go all out intelligently to KO/stop Mayweather by all means.

    I guess people like you pick and choose what to believe when Roach speaks. Pro-Pac, don't believe. Anti-Pac, believe. :roll:

    Shane's new tattoo is an indication how serious he's taking this fight.
