    At a certain point, Floyd won't be able to fight his tactical and technical fight anymore beacuse Shane will seriously test him.

    Castillo took him to that point also and Floyd chose to run.On May 1st we will find out what Floyd is really made of. Maybe he has it in him, you never know but based on the castillo fight he does not.And therefore I lean towards Mosley.

    Comparisions to the Chavez fight are ridcoulous. I mean Chavez is a much smaller man and never really hurt Floyd and landed significant head shots, his pressure was not effective.He just showed tremendous heart.

    That didn't happen. In the latter rounds, with the fight on the line, Mayweather stood his ground. This is what people don't understand, Mayweather will is about doing what it takes to attack his opponents weakness and win the fight. If that means running, he'll do that. If that means staying on the inside and fighting, he'll do that as well. If anyone is counting on Mosley making this a dogfight and Mayweather wilting, they are in for a rude awakening. Mayweather has a ton of heart, a strong will to win, and a diverse skillset.

    Is this a joke or what.After running for several rounds, Mayweather tried
    to stand his ground in the 11th by fighting in spurts but still got outhustled down the stretch. He then reverted to running in the 12th. Floyd did fold under Castillo's pressure.

    I don't think Floyd will have the choice. At a certain point he will have to fight. Floyd won't be able to run, use his legs and potshot every opponent he faces, Mosley will seriously test him. It will all boils down to responding to adversity and pressure.

    Look at the Hernandez fight. Floyd broke his hand, suffered his first kd, and still managed to win the fight. He has been in fights(Corley, Chavez(01), N'Dou) but the only way to really critique him is the way he chooses opponents. I like Floyd as a fighter and am still pissed he chose to fight Marquez.

    He won the 11th, and 12 was a toss up.

    Castillo had about a 10lb weight advantage over Mayweather aswell.

    Did you even read my post? If Floyd has to go toe to toe with Mosley to win this fight he'll do it.

    And Floyd tore his rotator cuff prior to the fight. I like Floyd but still think Castillo won the first fight.

    Thats fine. Tough fight to score. I believe Castillo also broke one of Mayweathers ribs.

    He didn't tear his rotator cuff dude. That is an injury that doesn't heal. He hurt his shoulder, but definitely didn't tear his cuff.

    I have a torn rotator cuff, it doesn't heal.

    Possibly but to never say Floyd has never been tested frustrates me. The guy suffered a knockdown, fought through a fight with a broken hand, been in a tough fight with Chavez and came out on top, and got stunned in the Corley fight. The only thing I wish is that he could've fought Marg or Cotto but they were with Arum soooo.......

    I dont know. It most likely was an excuse due to his performance.
