    ****inghell, the excuses have already begun. a few years ago, even a couple months ago you had a lot of boxing fans screaming mosley's name as an opponent for floyd mayweather, saying he's too good for mayweather to accept, calling mayweather a chicken etc etc, so what's happened now? well floyd has accepted the challenge, that's what's happened, so now comes the excuses before the fight has even begun. laughable. mosley has now gone from a too good of a fighter to a shot fighter in a matter of a few weeks, even though he hasn't had a fight since his very good victory against the cheat, margarito. pathetic. .

    the one about being old and losing his reflexes has been in use for years now. Since he lost to Cotto.

    punch drunk is a new one.

    Mosley is ancient. No credit for Floyd. :lol: J/k. Some credit but yeah, he's old.

    Meh, **** them. Mayweather's the same age as Pea when he fought DLH and he was supposed to be well past prime, but May is 100% prime according to them.

    Mosley is old, but he's old and still a great fighter. He's top welter for a reason. My concern is he just also happens to be at the age where he could get old overnight. Who knows. I think he'll do okay, maybe if he looks sluggish it'll be the blood tests Pac warned us about. :good

    oh, i must be mistaken, this couldn't be the fight the boxing fans were screaming that floyd won't fight the best at 147, this couldn't be the fight that floyd was ducking, this can't be the fight that mosley is too good for floyd too accept, because mosley is 38, but wait, mosley was "old" when he fought margarito,so what has changed since then, and now? hmmm, i wonder.

    Mosley is shot but still dangerous for Mayweather.

    The difference will be foot speed and mobility and that will get Mayweather through this fight.

    He's about a 6 out of 10, 5 out of 10.

    It is not Mayweather's fault that Mosley is shot but facts are facts.

    Past-prime yes, but nowhere near shot.

    it's ridiculous. if it was pac/shane it would be the "2 current best fighters....". and in some threads it's still "Floyd was forced". Everybodys forgetting the fight is happening because it's 2 fighters currently on top of their game, not because of history.
