    Or do you feel its a bit too late and that Mosley is past his best despite still looking good?

    Do you think the fight would have been bigger back in 2006-2007 when the tooth incident? Or even before that when they were aroun 135-140 lbs range?

    Mosley did not look past it last time out and Floyd has been inactive,its a good match up.

    I know Mosley looked great against Margo but what i am asking is if the fight is bigger now that it ever could have been or it was made some years ago would it have been bigger?

    Mayweather-Mosley now is probably the biggest fight that can be made outside of Pacquiao IMO.

    The fight is probably bigger now than it ever could have been. Mosley just did big numbers at the Staples Center and Mayweather is probably at the peak of his own popularity. The fight was never this big in the past whereas now people are calling for the fight.

    Bigger now because Mosley is willing to do random drug tests making Pac look even more suspect.

    Bigger now, prolly better in 2005-6. I'm sweating a Mosley who'll be 16-month cold.

    Bigger now, two of my favourite fighters, can't pick who I want to win but I have a feeling it's going to be a great fight and Floyd will show heart win or lose.

    i feel over 1 year out of the ring for a 38 yr old mosley will indeed have its effects.

    Definitely now, it's like the fight was destined to happen no matter what. Arum and Pac pulled out of negotiations with Mayweather and unfortunately, Berto pulled out of the Mosley fight due to horrible circumstances...
