    Well, we all have our answers soon enough.

    I sincerely believe that Mosley will win. I would actually be very surprised if Floyd pulls this off.

    Maybe he is a smarter fighter these days, but certainly not in his physical prime....

    Regardless its going to be good, Mosley and Nazim are a good match, so Shane right now is possibly the best Shane we could have fight Floyd. :good

    :happyRight. Everyone always brings up the Mayorga fight but he's difficult to look good against unless ur Oscar or Tito.

    I'm glad he has confidence. He'll need it going into the biggest fight of his life.

    this is going to be a great fight...still think Floyd just has too many tools for Mosley and is too crafty.

    should be a hell of a fight though.

    A huge win(see SSH/Margarito) will do wonders for a fighter's confidence.

    I feel I am still 20 years old but that does not change the fact that I am not.

    Mosley is psyching himself up for the upcoming fight. Any fighter that would state a defeatist statement rpior to a fight already lost the fight.
    If he stated he feels he could defeat a prime Tyson, that is just it, FEELS.

    Shane isn't in his prime in anyway shape or form imo, but still, it may be enough.

    He may feel sharper, in some ways he may be. I'm sure he knows more now than he ever did, he may even be physically stronger than ever... but his reflexes and even his speed aren't quite what they used to be.

    He is still fast, strong, good power, durability, etc. The only thing I worry about is his reflexes.

    Here's the thing... it is a no lose situation for Mosley.

    Based on his last fight I would say he is still in his prime. I'm picking Mayweather to beat him though.

    Let's not forget that some people were already calling him "shot" right before the Margarito fight!

    Actually, the people here who are calling Mosley prime are the same people who are saying he is shot prior to facing Mayweather.

    Mosley can be prime or past his prime, depending on who he is facing.
