    Mosley in his prime was decisively beat by two defensive boxers a level below Floyd's talent and Mosley is past it ever since the Winky fights (or even the Oscar rematch in which he underperformed compared to the 1st one). If you disagree, you still gotta notice that Cotto was able to time Mosley on the inside which was a bad sign for Shane who always depended on his reflexes. Styles make fights and the Margarito win was absolutely awesome, but Mosley looked faded vs. Mayorga just a few months before, and Ricardo is not exactly a defensive master in his prime. Nazim Richardson is an excellent teacher and will maximize Shane's chances in this fight, but despite 24/7 and all the build-up, this is just another fight when it comes down to prediction, and in 2010, at least in my view, this is a wide decision win for Floyd. I'd love to eat my crow and see Mosley prevailing, but in reality, he's been over the hill for years and Floyd has a lot of warrior skills he's not being credited for, but will come out on Saturday.

    On the "record breaking" PPV estimations, I say 1.5M would be an awesome result which is nowhere near what Shaefer or many fans predict (2,5M+), and even if it will be reported 1,5M by HBO or Golden Boy, you can bet it will be a "rounded" number. Anyway, it's a good solid fight and the undercard match-up between teenage sensation Saul Alvarez and brother Jose Cotto will be an excellent feature. so you shouldn't miss the show! :thumbsup

    I think Shane will be competitve early on. I see him winning an equal share of the first 3 rounds, however as the fight goes on I expect Floyd to find his rhythm and time Mosley with precise counters. I'm predicting a 9-3/8-4 type of result in favour of Floyd.

    Shane will be lucky to win 3 rounds.

    I think Shane has to take Floyd out early (within 6) or he will get outpointed.
    And PPV record... nah!

    Rooting for Shane though!

    Of course it will be one sided. Floyd knows what he's doing when he picks opponents. Mosely is 38, lost to Cotto a while ago, and has been inactive well over a year.
    Floyd has scary skills, and is always superbly conditioned. Mosely is a bad ass that would be murder for most fighters, but Floyd is a step above just about everybody, and no opponent of Floyd can concede any possible advantage and have a prayer to win.
    Of course , Floyd still avoids anyone who could possibly give him a real fight, like Paq or Williams. Think of it, Floyd is fighting the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Paq. Wheres the drama, except in the minds of the delusional?

    Yes Forrest and Shane are not as talented as Mayweather but both a prime Forrest and Winky would decisively beat a prime Floyd as well so I don't see why mentioning those fights should be a barometer for this fight, the Cotto fight is probably more of a reason why Floyd should be the favorite. But I still wonder if Floyd has enough pop in his jab to keep Mosley at bay.

    Shane lost to 2 fighters who could have easily fought at 160 lbs. Forrest was not a natural 147lber to start off with and Winky fought anywhere between 154-160 at the time and Mosley power did not carry up when he fought them. Cotto has decent power so I believe Shane was a lil hesitant before he actually started to let his hands fly. I honestly do not know how the fight is gonna pan out but I think Mayweather will do what Mayweather typically does and that is potshot his way to a boring decision win. Shane needs to cut off the ring and work towards Money's shoulder. The same thing Roy did when he fought Erik Harding. I tell people all the time Erik Harding is where Floyd got his famous shoulder roll from and if you look at that fight between Roy and Erik, Roy laid the blueprint years ago of how to get by it, which is why I said regardless if her is past his prime, a prime Roy is almost unbeatable. And unlike Floyd he let his hands go at will. Until some boxer looks at that fight and see what Roy did to easily get by the so called invincible shoulder-roll, fighters will have trouble beating Floyd. I think Floyd will win the fight but not by a blowout. I do not think he will be able to counter Shane as easily as people say he can. He will be weary of Shane's power all nite and if Shane stays active for 12 rds like he normally does he has a great chance of winning.

    Cotto's win was an excellent one, no doubt. Mosley had a horrible game plan heading into the fight and didn't adjust. Not to mention his corner was next to worthless in that fight. Still, he lost fair and square.
    Winky and Forrest were just too big and too good for Mosley. I also think that That if Floyd faced those same two fighters 4x's he certainly wouldn't be undefeated.
    Sure Floyd is a defensive master but he's not huge (Winky) and he's not rangy (Forrest). I know you didn't mention Forrest I just through him in there.

    Floyd-Shane will be one sided in Floyd's favor, and I think the ppv will do 2 mil tops...

    Of course he wouldn't be defeated, he would lose all 4x just like Mosley did.

    Read my post above bro. Vernon had great handspeed plus was a really big WW. Could have easily fought at 54 or 60 plus he was the last person to beat Shane before Shane got into boxing and was killing people. Winky was just a great defensive counter-puncher and he was just to big was Shane. Agreed anyone who knows boxing know that if Floyd would have fought anyone of them in their prime he would not have won, especially The Viper(R.I.P) who wold have stalked his ass to death for 12 rds plus his shots to the body were brutal.
