The official Mayweather vs. Mosley thread: Who R U Picking?

The reason I think its possible is because Mosley will come forward most of the fight. Floyd just picks guys apart. If Mosley cant get past Floyds jab hes going to get badly busted up by straight leads and possibly get stopped late. I dont see Floyd running as much in this fight, he cant really afford to, hes got to stand his ground and put some fire on Mosley to establish that range just like Forrest did.

 

Hey Dwyer. Who R U picking?

Mayweather pretty easily.

Mosley's decline in recent years has been significant. He has had one good performance in years and is showing signs of aging, physically and mentally.

I hope Mosley wins but it's unrealistic to predict it.

 

Don't do any avatar bets. This one shouldn't change.

 

floyd ud

 

looked like a beast with tony and didn't look half bad against a prime cotto or a solid luis collazo...

mayorga he looked a tad rusty but he proved all that **** wrong when he BEAT AND MASSACRED THE #1 WW

 

Fight night is just a few days away. There's still time to get in those last minute predictions.

 

i agree. floyd UD.
if winky can demoralise shane in that first fight (which he did) then floyd can do the same.

the only variable..is size. and if i were shane i'd back m power and come out strong for 2 rounds.

this fight isn't a given by any means.

 

Conventional wisdon says floyd ud, but im interested to see if nazim can really pull something out in this one. I see this being floyds hardest fight though

 

Going to get heat for this but I think Floyd is going to stop Shane, likely corner stoppage/RTD. I don't believe that Floyd will actually score a knockdown but I think he is going to let his hands go a little bit and it will turn into a bit of a beating starting round 6 or 7 and end around 9/10.

 

May is just too good. Like most I'm pulling for Shane however. I don't think anyone can beat Floyd. I may not like the guy but he is an incredible fighter

 

Shane starts slow, Floyd wins the first uninteresting rounds mostly with jabs, the going gets tough as Floyd can't get off as easily as expected, takes punches in the first Castillo fight style-breaking down downstairs and following up upstairs, slows down and finishes the fight at a slow pace with Shane showing to hit harder, as fast and putting him on the defensive all the time. Shane Mosley 7 rounds to 5, no knockdowns.

 

In the marquez fight, when he did start to really open up on jmm, he got tagged a few times (nothing big) and went right back to his defensive style and continued to pick him apart. I dont think floyd will open up enough to stop shane, because he will get tagged more and harder than he did against marquez. Add the fact that shane is tough as nails and his instinct is to fight back harder when he's tagged, I cant see him stopping Shane

 

Mosley for me, so... :good
Floyd can stop using his 0 as an ATG criteria...
Pacman vs Sugar's deal will be easier compare to floyd..

 

I also saw Marquez start to get a little momentum early in round 2 and then watched Floyd pummel him. Floyd could have stopped him IMO but feel that he was cool with a shutout to shake off some of the rust.

If Mosley is effective and Floyd feels that he is losing rounds or the momentum shifting, he will open up and his speed and accuracy will be too much for Shane. He'll start picking him apart and it will become one sided.
