    Mayweathers going in as the favourite in this fight and is expected to come away with a decision, but what happens if mosley catches him clean and knocks him out? can anyone here really say they didn't see it coming considering mayweathers lack of real competition.:think

    I wouldn't be "shocked", since Mosley is a high profile competitor. This is the fight everyone wants to see as it pits the best of the best against one another. That said, I would look at that as a very low percentage possibility of an outcome. Floyd has a great defense, great chin, and there are very few signs that would suggest Mosley will be able to actually land a knockout.

    Considering the amount of money ill be putting up on Floyd, I'd probably feel the shock for a good 2 months.

    Anything is possible. A Mosley KO is unlikely but IS within the realm of possibility. I bet against that possibility.

    I don't know if we can conclude Mayweather has a "great" chin. He's been hit cleanly so few times it's hard to know.

    I wouldnt be suprised at all. I would be a lil suprised if was a total domination of floyd though, floyd should at least win a few rounds even though I am picking Mosley

    I would be shocked if Mosley even wins a SD. I really want sugar to pull the upset but I just dont think it gonna happen.

    I would be incredibly shocked, to be honest. Mayweather is not the common come forward guy. Mosley KO's guys who come forward, not those who can outbox him. It would be a big statement and boost to his all time standing, imo.

    Mosley still has world class power at WW even at 39 so no I wouldn't be surprised.

    What would shock me more is if Mosley out pointed Floyd

    Mosley is old now and on the slide floyd knows this it's the only reason he's taking the risk.

    Don't be shocked if floyd tko's mosley within 10.

    Extremely shocked. Mosley struggled to land effectively on much lesser fighters than Mayweather, so, even though there is the question of "how will Mayweather react to getting hit", the chances that he gets hit clean and often are very slim.

    I don't think the Margarito fight should have changed the perception on Mosley like it did. He was fighting a guy perfect for him, physically and mentally, and looked perfect. The fact is though, that in recent years, Mosley has not looked good against opposition which doesn't favour him so much.
