    I'm almost certain that Mosley respects Mayweather's ability, and he's training for the fight of his life, and even if he does forget it, Nazim will be quick to remind him.

    I think this may be the best version of Mosley since De La Hoya 1.

    And Mosley has faced his share of fierce opposition, the likes of which Mayweather has never encountered.

    But what really makes me think that Mayweather may be dismissing Mosley, is I think he may be falling into his own hype.

    In the sense that like Mosley said, people are still talking about Pac vs Mayweather as if Mayweather already won.

    And the people that surround Mayweather appear to be yes men.

    Not to mention the fact that Mayweather's last few opponents were Marquez who was small, and cheated at the weigh in, who Mayweather was still unable to knockout despite landing over 60% of his punches, including left and right hook combinations.

    Not to mention the fact that in Marquez' previous fight, he looked very vunlerable against Diaz, who is solid, at lightweight, but no threat to any of the top 140 lbers and definitely not to any 147 lbers.

    And his previous opponent before that was Ricky Hatton, who was not only smaller, but just didn't have the style to effectively get to Mayweather.

    Mayweather has undeniable tallent, but his resume is weak compared to Shane's. And he also did not look impressive at all in his outing against De La Hoya.

    There is a possiblity he might be in for a rude awakening against Mosley who will bring it. He's not there to play fight.

    Think about it. He's 38 years old, yet its the best version of him since he was like 28. Really?

    You know what they say about the old bull and the young bull>?


    "Damnation, old bull. You lookin' down there all all them pretty cows?", young bull asked.
    "Yessir I am," old bull replied. He slowly chewed on some weeds.
    "Well old bull, I'm gettin' me a good idea!" young bull exclaimed, hopping up and down anxiously.
    Old bull glanced sideways. "Yeah, what's that?" he asked.
    "Let's sprint down this here hill, and **** one of them cows!"
    Old bull kept chewing his weeds. "Well?!" the young bull demanded.
    "Well," the old bull said with the wisdom of his age, "I got a better idea than that."
    "What the hell could be better than my idea?" the young bull asked, annoyed but curious. Old bull said with a grin, "Let's walk down there and **** all of the cows.

    I don't know man.......guess we'll see.

    Floyd didn't get this far without respecting his opponent. Playing the bad guy for 24/7 and underestimating Shane is not one in the same. Floyd will box, and he will not try to stop Shane unless he can. He won't engage Shane early in the fight unless he has to, and he'll outbox Shane like Cotto did. Nobody has stopped Shane. This isn't Clottey-Pac...this is the true ww title fight-no 145 lb fight, introduction of drug testing, and may the best man win!

  12. shid. honestly, I think its gonna go twelve wit mosley runnin into shots but not goin down. If he do taste canvas its gonna be at the end of the fight cause when instincts kick in, mosley starts swingin his punches wide and ****. See i say my opinion without all of the mu****in hate and jealousy, unlike your ***** ass.

    Deep dpwn PBF is scared because Mosley is the best fighter he's ever faced. Mosley may proove to be too big, fast, strong, and experienced for him. PBF might get humiliated in this one.

    I don't think Floyd is underestimating Mosley.

    24/7 will be edited to show the Floyd we expect: cocky, arrogant, big mouth.

    When the cameras are off or what ends up on the cutting room floor I'm certain, is a more down-to-Earth Floyd who recognizes who is in front of him.

    Say what you want about Floyd's opposition, and even though I'm not a big detractor I'm not a nuthugger. The man has excellent wins, and he didn't get this far without the proper physical and mental mindset.
