Is Shane Mosley Floyds toughest test to date?

But then the question is, and someone has a thread in the GF asking this exact question, what did Cotto do that Mayweather can't? Mosley is three years older then when he fought Cotto, has been inactive for over a year and Mayweather does most things that Cotto can do better than Cotto can do them.

I think people who are building this up as a competitive fight are going to be shocked at how easily Mayweather wins it.

 

Are these people who think we will see Mosley laid out on the floor and the referee counting to ten or people who think Mayweather could win inside the distance?

Because the first may be pretty unlikely but the second covers a multitude of possibilities?

 

Nobody really knows if the version that will show up on May 1st will be a sharp as the version that beat Margarito

 

Good performance in the Cotto fight; but if Cotto can outmanouver ya' then it don't bode well for Flyod, does it?

 

Definately wouldn't say there's zero chance of the second happening. Mosley is approaching 40 and will have been out of the ring for over 15 months. Can't possibly know what effect that will have. If he finds that he doesn't have the goods anymore, then we a corner retirement is not out of the bounds of possibility. I wouldn't give a great % chance to a Mayweather stoppage win, simply because he's inclined to cruise when he has the fight won and Mosley is smart enough to cruise to a loss rather than chase the unlikely knockout, but it's higher than zero.

 

He peformed VERY well vs Cotto. So much so that some thought Shane had won the fight and at best it should have been a draw. Cotto didnt even attempt to fight the last few rounds and spent more time on his bike. Its a win that he gets way too much credit for.

 

It's also a fight that points to Shane not having a hope in Hell against Floyd.

I'm praying (and I'm an atheist) that Shane can pull off the victory, but he lack the feet to keep up with Fraud.

 

On paper maybe i think Corralles was Floyds toughest fight though didnt turn out that way. I think mosely is on paper Floyds toughest fight in a while but in the ring i dont think it will be

 

The only way Shane wins this is by staying in his grill and throwing tons of leather. Floyd can be outworked. Shane is the man to do it. This JT vs BHOP except Shane has the full 12 on lock.

 

Mosley has no chance. As good as he is he'll get picked off and frustrated just like against Winky. He'll need to bring something he's never shown us before. Tiny possibility that his power may cause a few problems for Mayweather who won't be able to slip and slide the faster of Mosleys combo's. Mosleys difficult to read at times but I think Mayweather will largely dominate before Mosley can hope to get close enouigh for his herky-jerky style to cause problems.

Its safe to say Mayweather lacks the power to trouble Mosley, i'd go for a fairly clear win for Floydd perhaps dropping two or three early rounds before he works him out and coasts to a unan decsion.

 

Cotto hit SSM a lot harder than Mayweather will. Mosley just might be able to walk through Floyd's punches.

 

Love to see Mosley pull this off. But his day is gone I fear, and PBF knows it.
