    Mayweather and Shane Mosley will be facing off tonight. Share who you're picking and who do you actually want to see win the fight.

    I know a lot of people want Shane to win, but still believe that Mayweather will win tonight. I just want to see how many people are in this situation, how many are in the opposite situation (if any) and how many people believe the guy they want to win is going to win. Share your thoughts on this, the fight, weigh in, whatever you want to share that you believe is relevant or interesting. :good

    I'm in a similar situation, I would love for Shane to win. But I can't convince myself that he'll be able to defeat Mayweather.

    I'm rooting for Shane, simply because when I'm neutral I'll back the underdog, like most people.

    Also like most other people, I don't see Shane winning. I believe Floyd beats anyone at WW in todays scene and will box to a wide UD tonight.

    The closer we get to the fight, the more I like Shane's chances. I thought Shane looked real good in the weigh in. And I''m not just talking physically because that is to be expected from professional fighters like Shane and Floyd. But I'm talking that he looked very determined and had that look in his eyes that he had when he faced Margarito.

    I don't know if he feels significantly more confident with Nazeem in his corner or what, but I like that it seems that he truly believes he'll surprise Floyd on fight night. Maybe I''m looking too much into it, but I just wanted to put it out there.

    I still don't think Shane will win because I just don't think he has the key instrument to penetrate Floyd which is a good jab, and if he does try to jab I believe Floyd can outjab him any night of the week.

    Man you are crazy thinking Floyd can KO Shane Mosely. Don't put any money on it, it's not going to happen.

    I've got cash on Mosley to win by KO. But I know it's an out side bet.

    I agree with your first points but not your prediction. My head has been telling me Mayweather for weeks 'cause of his slickness. But now that we're here and just looking and listening to Mosley in recent days, I'm gonna go with him tonight, possibly by early to mid round KO or TKO. I just see Mayweather getting caught suddenly. It could be a wipe-out. These over-hyped, evenly-matched type of fights generally don't go as scripted. We've seen this over and over through the years and we just get caught up in it all only to be surprised when it's over.

    Yeah, the way I see Shane winning is also catching Floyd and hurting him. We'll see tonight. :good

    Shane is an old man and he's got a lot of mileage on those legs. Not to mention being beaten by guys who are so vastly inferior in terms of talent and experience...I'm thinking Cotto hear, who I like. But the guy isn't even in the same universe as Mayweather. Easy, easy victory for Floyd. Nice paycheck for Shane. :D

    Fighters who are approaching 40 sometime get old all of a sudden. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Shane gets TKO'd. This is a statement fight for Floyd and Shane is an easy mark.
