    First thing to consider, is that Mosley's style of launching his shots means they will be telegraphed pretty easily. It will be rare to see Floyd caught flush on the chin, so I wouldn't hold your breath. In addition, although we haven't seen Mayweather get hit alot, I willing to bet he has a pretty solid chin.

    So to answer your question, no I don't think Mosley will have Mayweather hurt.

    Agreed. So why is everyone so happy about Shanes punching power??

    Shane's hits extremely hard. The problem is, he does a wind up before unloading his big punches (watch the Margo fight). So he telegraphs. He does set it up quite nicely with either a jab or a quick straight.

    Well, it's hard to tell for the fact that he hardly ever gets caught due to his great defense and reflexes. But of the few rare times that he has got caught like when Judah dropped him with the right hook as Floyd was coming in and when he almost lost his balance against Hatton he didn't look very hurt or even go down, but was close to it.

    Castillo, being a slightly bigger man, was able to have a consistent body attack and every now and then went upstairs and got the best of Floyd, but Floyd never looked in trouble of going down. To date I'd have to say Judah might of been the biggest threat to Floyd's chin since he had the speed and the power to hang with or catch Floyd. Mosley even at this stage is leagues above Judah and still has the speed and power to go behind it be Floyd's biggest threat to date. This is like rating Roy Jones chin in his prime because Roy hardly got tagged on the chin, but he did go down vs. Lou Del Valle. When Floyd gets caught with a bomb to the chin flush, then maybe we'll know how good it is. And Mosley is an expert on landing those bombs, but then Floyd is also an expert at avoiding them. So we'll see.

    Maywaether will not get knocked out by the first punch that lands on him. If Mosley wants to stop floyd he will have to hit him repeatedly, not just once, unless he lands a hail mary kind of punch, which he won't.

    Mosley's best punch is his left hook. Thats his money punch b/c of the angle it come from. It comes under the chin at a weird kind of angle. The thing is Floyd would already know this so he would work on defending against that punch and Shane does the same thing before he fires off with it. He does a bounce off his toes telegraphing it. It does not land on many top fighters. His right hand...lol is telegraphed like **** and is WIDE. Cotto was able to block it with no effort. Shane hits harder than Judah on a consistent basis but Judah's straight left is harder than any one Shane punch. Shane does not usually knock out good fighters. ODH has a bigger punch one punch than Shane and Floyd took his left hook flush late in the fight and was not phased. Mayweather is going to bamboozle that S curl mother****er and beat him by at least 4 rounds.

    De la hoya rocked the **** outta mayorga which shayne had lots of trouble with and floyd handled oscar. oscar landed on floyd and it didnt do anything, shayne aint going to do **** to floyd.Took mosley 9 rounds of constant hammering on marg to get him out of there, shane doesnt land half as much as he did on that walking bean stock.

    Dude, I don't care what you think.
    If Mosley can knock out antonio margarito, he can definitely decapitate floyd if he catches him.

    If you don't think Mosley stands a chance of knocking floyd out, you are severely ******ed.... or you have no idea about the history of boxing.

    hahahaahaha

    You guys will stop at nothing to praise Floyd.
    He is a master boxer and has amazing defense, but he is beatable and human.

    Anybody can be knocked out and thats a fact. You call ppl ******ed if they dont think mosley can knock out mayweather, which is true because anything can happen in boxing and one shot in the right place can knock ANYONE out. I find it funny tho that u say there is no chance floyd can knock mosley out. Contracdicting ****** you are, once again:rofl
