    You're wrong. Floyd will win by UD. Shane brings nothing new to the table. It will be the same old story as Floyd's other 40 fights: victory.

    If Floyd truly dominated Shane it's really a sign age has caught up to him. He only been convincingly beaten by fighters with significant physical advantages over him coupled with difficult styles that nullified his speed/athleticism and strength. His one other loss against a guy more his size was very competitive(Cotto)

    Mayeather is very sharp and slick and crafty and quick. Mosley's own speed, strength, heavy hands and explosiveness always will trouble Mayweather....especially his competitive mindset that will see him keep trying to win. That is unless age has deteriorated Shane's reflexes to where he can no longer react to Floyd's quickness. Then he will be dominated because he won't possess the necessary reflexes to be competitive and will be picked to shreds.

    Unproven opinions and a built in excuse. Shane cannot react to Floyd's quickness. He wouldn't have ten years ago either. Please stop with the excuses before the fight even happens. If you think Floyd will win say so. If you think it will be close say so. I agree Shane has only been beaten by physically superior fighters. Floyd is one of them. As far as skills go this is by far the best fighter(most difficult style) Shane has faced.

    Not built in just the truth. The cold hard truth regarding cruel Father Time. We know what Shane can do and that's why this fight is meaningful. He never would have had the success in his career if speed always bothered him to a dominant level. This fight is designed to see what Floyd brings against an opponent who has all the tools to beat him and I believe it will be close. If it's not even remotely close then you can't be blind and not say age has nothing to do with it.

    We've seen it countless times in the past where a fighter truly shows their age against a speedy opponent. That type of style based around speed and quickness is kryptonite to a fighter that is showing the effects of age. What they had years ago to deal with it is no longer there and their competitiveness suffers as a result. We will see once the bell wins and whatever feeling out happens if Mosley can deal with quickness enough to have a chance. No amount of predicting can determine that until then.

    All that smack talk that Floyd does is not only opens up the person who will have his number, he might also fall very hard in life like his father and uncle has. I like Floyd as a fighter, but he is just wishing bad luck on himself with his madness.

    I want to see Shane win by UD or TKO, but I would like to see a rematch or a possibility of a trilogy between these two great fighters.

    agree with the first part... but have to say mayweather is just too clever... his adjustments are just that much quicker than his opponents.... that's why brother nazim has trained msoley to be unpredictable in this fight....making losts of adjustments throughout so flloyd can't learn to adapt and overcome.

    i see a close UD for Flloyd

    Absolutely amazing that people believe Mosely at 39 is as good as when he was 29. Do u really believe that? Or is it a excuse for jr not fighting anyone when they are at there peak.

    Floyd will not get stopped by a single shot alone...no one punch KO in this fight. Definitely not out of the blue. He'll have to be slowed down first and stopped by accumulation. Then again Mosley gets his stoppages by accumulation even when he was at 135. He can't just wing big shots that don't allow him to follow up or he'll be made to look like he needs one of those big safety helmets with the chin strap.

    Of course is to drum up the fight even tho he always makes a fool out of himself and runs into risk of being humiliated afterwards. Show business. But you can bet that he has Shane in his head, he must have that grostesque Vargas swollen eye in his head, he must have those big guys Mayo and Margo stretched in his head hell yeah... This guy is not going to fight, jab, move, move, move, jab and run away from there again.

    DLH held him to a close decision, and an argument can be made that JLC deserved the nod in the first fight. I think that qualifies as some success.

    10 years ago shane was beating up on a prime ODLH at welterweight, and Mayweather was fighting at 130.

    Mosley was at his absolute peak at that time and would have steam-rolled Mayweather's skinny ass. The only way you can believe otherwise is if you're Leonard Ellerbe.

    A very small minority believe JLC deserved the decision. Most agree it was a close fight. Anyone who thinks the the scorecards were accurate for the DLH fight are blind or stupid. The scorecards almost never agreed to any of the rounds the DHL won. Rounds were just picked out of the air in a haphazard fashion and awarded to DLH "just because". Talking about the DHL fight being close does nothing for your credibility.

    I think Floyd is pretty ridiculous myself, but his impression of Shane on the heavybag was dead on.
