    Mayweather has tasted the theatrics of WWE or WWF or whatever its called..He knows its sucess if based on storylines that its fans eat up.

    He will be back and it could have been taken right out of the cheesiest Hulk Hogan christmas special.

    The Mosley fight makes sense..but I reckon he will wait for the Pac-Hatton winner.

    I don't know who to pick honestly. Obviously Mayweather's no Margarito and won't be nearly as easy to hit. But you would think with Shane's incredible speed that he would be able to catch Floyd clean from time to time and vice versa. I guess I'll pick Floyd in a close fight due to his defensive advantage.

    I just want the damn fight to happen ... it will give fans something to talk about for a while ...

    They need to give Mayweather his money ... everyone he's faced has received the highest purse of their careers ... when is he going to get his?

    when ever if ever the fight will happen, you can bet shane would fight at his best.i see good fight with floyd winning by close but ud 115 to 113.of course thats how i see it but in boxing anything could happen.so im just make my predictions and watch the fight if it ever happens, which i dout.

    You don't think that Floyd would fight at his best ... its shocking because I doubt that the boxing community has seen Floyd at his best.

    116-112 8 rounds to 4

    Floyd 8-4.

    Mosley doesnt have an authoritative jab like Oscar. His jab is more of a flicker jab used to set up those massive overhand rights of his. He will miss big alot, and Floyd will make him pay with precision punches. Mosley will probably win the first 2 rounds, but he will tire by the mid rounds and Floyd will take over, he might stage a comeback late but it wont be enough.

    I don't think Mosley's game plan would be predicated on the jab (which looked damn good against Margo, surprisingly).

    Agreed, Mosley misses a lot of punches, sometimes missing big, but he will land a lot more flush shots on Floyd than Oscar could muster, and I believe Shane is capable of hurting Floyd.

    Anything can happen in this fight, but as warrior85 stated, Mosley would be "the livest underdog possible".

    This is in no way a give me fight for Floyd.

    Remember if Cotto,Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest all outboxed a prime Mosley then PBF clearly can. Everyone is big on Mosley now for stopping Margarito. However the difference between PBF and Margarito is like night and day. I remember PBF calling for this fight when he was the 130 pound champion and Mosley the 135 pounds champion. The Mosleys did not seem keen then did they?

    What makes you think that Mayweather would be cut or hurt ... he's never been and he's fought better boxers than Shane and he's fought stronger guys.
