    Shane if he did try to box Floyd would get outboxed mabye 8-4, 9-3 ish, Nowadays.

    But to be fair. Does anybody think that Shane would box Mayweather?

    He would still loose now but it would not be as wide as 9-3 because Shane would pressure him.

    i dont see how DLH fought Mayweather tough. PBF barely broke a sweat and won 8-4, and thats being generous to DLH.

    After watching his fight with Cotto I dont think Mosley has the ability to defeat PBF. A couple of things i noticed. 1. His speed has decreased. 2. His defence will not be good enough to hold off PBF countershots. 3. He struggles to keep his cool in the ring. As we all know PBF can be one frustrating son of a *****.

    I think Mopsley could actually win the first 4-5 rounds, than he'd get frustrated, especially if Floyd started working on the outside, and just try to brawl.. Sugar Shanes biggest weakness is how stubborn he is.

    If DLH was competetive against mayweather, i had mayweather winning the fight 7 rounds to 5 rounds, im pretty sure mosley could give mayweather a tough challenge... many are assuming mosley has lost speed because his last preformance against cotto, i do agree he is not as fast as in the past, but many people have been underestimating cottos speed as well... mayweather in my opnion could even have a harder time with mosley than cotto did, because styles make matches...

    The old guys (Mosley, DLH) lost their footwork and reflexes, but still a good test for up and comers. PBF in his prime and is a master boxer.

    I think it would be a close win for PBF, Mosley would make it competative but I believe PBF would be able to outbox him.

    Mosely may not beat Mayweather but he still has the skills to keep it competitive IMO.
