    Mosley is talking the talk like anyone is entitled to but the question is always (for those who talk) if he can walk that particular walk? Shane Mosley is obviously strong, most probably stronger than Floyd Mayweather and he possibly hits harder so that should be his major case - to be a natural welterweight who fought physically some strong super-welterweights - but he's going into boxing styles and adjustements on the fly... And that is hard to predict, whether if he's slick enough to outpunch Mayweather, to slip, duck or block counterpunches and counterpunch the counterpuncher... Usually there must be a great difference in styles to come up with something like that and Shane just can't say for sure if he's gonna adjust just fine. He hopes he does!

    Mayweather and Calzaghe hurt their hands alot because their hands arent very strong. Look at Pac's fist . Look at Mosely fist. Then look at Mayweahter 's fist. They look like girl hands in comparison.

    Both guys hurt their hands alot becaue tier fist are puny. Also they are punching oppurtunist.!!!

    They will punch at any open target on the head!

    Mayweahter in particular is so counter punch happy that he has to meet a force, with force everytime he throws .

    The human hand cannot go against the human skull. It just cannot.

    The skull is the thrid hardest after heel and elbow.

    The top of the skull is the hardest. People coming in on Mayweather he ducks their punch and fires off a quick counter pucnch. Which usually lands on the top of the forehead as most fighters tuck their chin in , which leaves the top of the head mostly exposed.

    But since Mayeather cant really create his own offense without being in danger of getting hit back, he has to use those openings.

    but those opeinings are when his opponents are using force to come forward. then he has to use his own force. Which is deadly impact on fragile bones in the hands.

    espeically little skinny ones like Mayweathers.

    I got all that information from a jazz musican so I know what i am talking about!!

    You know Mosley is in trouble when people start saying stuff like "he has to make it ugly" to win.

    What exactly does that mean? What tangible advantage is whatever ugly act he chooses to do, gonna give him?

    PBF can do everything. Fight inside or outside. Hell I can even see Floyd goading Mosely in the pocket, actually giving him a target and saying "hit me!"

    Floyd is gonna put on a master class.

    Highly doubtful. This will not end well for Floyd if he actually does that.

    If Mosley plays into Floyd's game, its over. Mosley doesn't have the ring IQ to avoid Floyd's traps. Floyd will probably feint to the body and tag Mosley with leaping left hooks all night. After tenderizing the right side of Mosley's face, he'll probably start coming forward with lead rights. However, at the same time Floyd will be very, very cautious. This is one chess match Floyd does not want to take risks in.

    I think Mosley should be aggressive like he did with Margarito. Throwing quick, powerful straight rights at will. Maybe feint a lead hook to have Floyd use his shoulder roll and come quick with a straight right after that.

    An aggressive, slugging Mosley will have a better chance than a boxing Mosley. Either way, its a win-win situation for Mosley. If he loses, he'll be a 39 year old who got the chance of his lifetime and got paid. If he wins...I need not explain. The pressure is really on Floyd I believe. Keep the 0 and move on to fight Pacquiao and retire again undefeated. That's a lot of pressure.
