    Mayweather UD but it's a tentative pick and it wouldn't suprise me if Mosley pulled off the upset.

    Mayweather TKO? Are you ****ing serious fitz?

    He probably nicks a close decision, but there's no way he's stopping Sugar Shane.

    I'd say that's a stretch. He got beat by Cotto last year and IMO Floyd is still the best welterweight out there by far. Despite the fact that he says he's "retired."

    Alot of people couldn't see Margarito stopped ... Mosley has a good chin but there is more than one way to stop your opponent.

    You have a fighter like Mosley who isn't as sharp as he once been, and who's always been very hittable. He will leave himself open for alot of punishment -- His losses to Forrest and Wright was the result of effective boxing ... it wasn't a point of Mosley being broken down.

    Margarito was a fighter that had never been stopped and never beaten down but it comes a first time for everything and it was apparent that there are fighters who are better than their opposition and it will show if Mayweather and Mosley ever meet in the right.

    I think that PBF is more aggressive and is more committed to his punches than Wright and Forrest.

    Mayweather will beat Mosley easily ... I think if goes to the scorecards ... it would be a wide margin or Mosley will do like many other Mayweather opponents do, get behind on points early ... get desperate ... tire themselves out ... and get stopped or brutally embarassed.

    You know why Floyd never gets hit? Because he's never the aggressor unless he has his opponent seriously hurt, and even in that case it's not likely that he'll try to knock his opponent out.

    Mosley gets hit occasionaly, although not NEARLY as much as Fitzgerald is leading the forum to believe because he's an aggressive fighter. He uses foward momentum and goes into the fight thinking KO.

    Mayweather on the other hand, seems to be content with leaving the decision the judges and not engaging unless his opponent forces him to.

    While Mayweather's tactic has worked in his fights in the past, it may not work as effectively against Mosley. Viewing it from Mayweather's opponents, Zab to Hatton, Mosley will be the fastest opponent with the exception of Zab, but he's more durable, more aggressive, and appears to have more power.

    Mosley is taller than Hatton, another aggressive fighter, but unlike Hatton uses the jab to get inside, and once inside lets his hands go as opposed to trying to maul his opponent.

    Mosley is also an effective body puncher, and will have the help of Nazim who will do a great job at analyzing Floyd's style and preparing a game plan that will likely include aggressive body work, and overhand right, left uppercut combinations once Floyd is against the ropes, to force Floyd out of his comfort zone.

    Mayweather is not unbeatable, and while it's very possible that Mosley will be tenative like he was in his fight with Cotto, (by the way Mosley later revealed that he had scar tissue removed from his nose that was blocking 40% of the oxygen in his with Cotto), chances are he'll assert himself and try to win by an accumulation of punches, cornering Floyd against the ropes every chance he gets.

    Anyway, it's a 50/50 fight in my mind, especially with Floyd' layoff.
