    The out come is likely that the fight will near mirror that fight, Style wise Oscar had picked up that Mayweather style and it worked pretty darn good in the fight with Mosley, though I thought Oscar did win it, the fight was still close enough that Shane won.

    However the difference here is in that, Shane is not with his father he is with Nazim, and I am sure working with Nazim they will be better prepaired for the mayweather style, assuming Floyd doesnt bring anything new to the table, Why would he bring anything new? what he has been doing has worked for him so far, and honestly when do you see Floyd step out side of himself? Never.

    Great fight cant wait, couple weeks left and we will see, Mosley is going to make this a street fight and this being Floyds tuffest test to date lets see how he adapts to it....

    I agree this will be floyd's toughest fight.....Mayweather wins an 8-4, 7-5 type fight....Mayweather wins this mostly on his jab....

    Mosley's best chance is to make this and ugly fouled filled affair. One in which he clinches at almost every oppurtunity and uses his superior strength to wear PBF down and rough him up.

    Thats exactly what he is going to have to do, I would also advise him to hit on that shoulder when Floyds hand is low, beat that bicep up take away one of Floyds weapons

    But Mosley is what, 6 years older than he was for the 2nd De La Hoya fight? Don't forget to factor that in.

    Of course that is a factor, there is also the steroid factor as well, but I sort of write that off because that was at 154 a weight Mosley struggled at.
    since moving down to 147 he has looked much better recently knocking out some solid fighters.

    I'm hoping this will be Shane's one last great hurrah, and that it didn't actually occur in the Margarito fight.

    I don't see Floyd being able to hurt Mosley, but he might be able to potshot his way to a victory.

    Mosley has to rough Floyd up.

    in this fight, and I know your all going to say I am crazy, But I dont think the Key for Floyd is the jab, I am leaning towards the left hook (Check Hook) what ever you want to call it today.

    Reason being is in the 2nd DLH fight, Shane had trouble with the speed of DLH's left hook even telling his father inbetween rounds that Oscar had a quicker hook.

    Floyds hook is quicker than Oscars, and being that Shane is 6 years older I see that left hook being a big problem in this fight, and IMO if Floyd tries to win with his jab, Shane does have a nice right hand even double right hand that he can use to counter that jab so in my eyes its the left hook thats going to do most of the damage in behalf of Floyd.

    I agree that the left hook will be a big weapon because Mayweather disguises it well, but he has to jab to allow movement and keep distance.

    I am now leaning more on Mosely roughing up PBF and then catching him. Bazooka, you said he has never had to step out of the box. If he gets hurt like I think might happen, he will not have any other choice. This by far should be his toughest fight. Mosely is not laying down for nobody. I still think PBF will edge it out with a decision, but walks away from a war that could affect him if in fact he fights Pac later on.
