Does anyone really think Mosley can beat Mayweather??

Mosley is a great fighter, and I've always thought that if anybody could beat Floyd it was Mosley, because he has speed, power, and the ring smarts. But I don't think anybody can beat Floyd right now. And not to mention Shane has had some serious issues with good technical boxers. I think it will be a damn good fight, but I have Mayweather winning by decision. Unless Shane can catch Floyd with that sneaky left hook that he throws. But by no means can I see Shane dominating a Floyd. We're talking about a man who hasn't seen a style that he hasn't beaten... Well consider this,floyd has only fought once,in 3 years & against a fat lightweight to boot!!Mosley has lost to good boxers true,but Winky & Forrest were both huge & quite frankly,highly capable of beating floyd as well!!Cotto on the other hand was an undefeated,pre Margarito ruined version of the best,powerpunching welterweight on the good planet earth!!Cotto didn't only OUTBOX Mosley,he traded,stood his ground & fought back when necassary!!Mosley has excellent stamina,he's bigger,stronger,fast & is a better pressure fighter than say,Oscar ever was!!Has floyd ever really fought a style like Mosley,I really don't think so?!Mosley deserves more credit than fight fans are giving him!!Remember an old Oscar was floyd's best victory,the fight after that Stevie Forbes proved that Oscar was done as an elite!!Mosley on the other hans just put a beating on the biggest & seamingly unstoppable Margarito,whom floyd avoided like the plague,by the way!!It's not a fact that floyd could have beaten him either,so any responce saying that much is moot!!

Hell no. No way, no how.

this fight is a few years too late!!! shane is past his prime. look at him on fight night, he'll be slow, over the hill and old. Granted, I'm sure we would have all loved to see this fight a few years ago, but Mosley had a dental appointment that he couldn't miss. But the fight has just as much, if not more meaning today. We're talking about two fighters who rank in everyone's top 4 P4P fighters in the world today. I can't say that this fight has come too late.

Nothing wishful here my guy!!floyd's defense has never failed him,but it was never up against Mosley either!!:boxing: Mosley is a great fighter, and I've always thought that if anybody could beat Floyd it was Mosley, because he has speed, power, and the ring smarts.

I think shane can beat him, but i dont think he will.

See my posting (detail)....generally I agree with you. :)

lets be real, mosley won't slug with FMM because floyd would destroy em, and mosley can't box better, and its not like FMM has a glass jaw. id be surprised if mosley goes the distance TBH and im not a FMM fan at all, i jus recognize he's the best fighter in the league. I think Mosley has the tools to beat Mayweather, he's going to have to pressure for the whole fight and use the fact his chin is probably one of the best in boxing to get past Mayweather's accurate counter-punching. I see Mosley having trouble with Mayweather's style though. Can he beat Mayweather; Yes. Will he beat him: I dont think so.

you cult boys are in for a shocker.

this fight is a few years too late!!! shane is past his prime. look at him on fight night, he'll be slow, over the hill and old. ok, shane might be past it, however let's not forget Floyd could be slightly fading too.. Whose to say that Floyd is still in his peak?

It could be anyones fight, but many underestimate Mosely (and Bro. Nazim and the team), I think Mosely will be the aggressor; with smart aggression especially his jab and straight combination. I really didn't see wide punches from Shane in the Margo fight until Margo was already softened up...then he unloaded the looping punches...If Mosely has enough volume in the beginning of the fight, it will force Floyd to come out of the pocket and exchange. When that happens...it's a Mosely fight, and Mosely is not that type of fighter to sit back and let you pot shot him. He will be the agressor at that point. I don't see a UD by Floyd...I see this fight very close...it's a good fight!

Hard to take you seriously when you think Floyd Mayweather can outslug Shane Mosley. Also hard to take you seriously when you think Floyd will stop Shane, who has never been stopped fighting WAY harder punchers than Floyd Mayweather. Shane can win with a good gameplan applying smart pressure against a guy who has never fought anyone as good as even a 39 year old Shane Mosley.

Can he win? Sure. He has a much better chance then anyone Floyd has fought in a while. And he WILL slug with Floyd. He cant win in a boxing match. And Im 99.999999999999% sure Floyd cant even drop Shane let alone stop him. Floyd by UD.

A part of me wants Mayweather for the win for the inevitable Pacquiao fight......whereas I also like Mosley to teach Mayweather a lesson or two.

If both put out the best of their abilities, both are capable of beating each other. The way I see it is that Mayweather obviously would remain as a defensive fighter with his potshots...jabs here and there, lunging left hooks and occasional combos of left and right. This could actually work and win an UD for him. His defense is just superb. His shoulder rolls, fades and bob/weaves. HE SHOULD WIN THIS ONE. However, if anyone, Mosley have the speed/power and leverage as well. Mayweather cannot take Mosley lightly, if at all. Despite Mayweather's mastery of range and neutralizations – if MOSLEY can induce him or draw Mayweather out of his on-guard position and into an off-balanced position while with impeccable timing and speed, MOSLEY can hurt Mayweather. And if that happens, then MOSLEY can even knock him out. But Mosley would have to be on the very top of his game. Precise shots and follow up. But I don't think that Mosley can do it from the usual strategy and range. Mayweather is just too good defensively. What Mosley have to do again is to draw Mayweather out of his comfortable position and keep him off-balanced. JABBING and impeccable timing is what he needs to beat Mayweather. But precisely, I think that that MOSLEY would have to get out from the usual 1-2 combo. That will never work with Mayweather most specially with the typical cadence. What Mosley should do is to throw lead rights also and the left hook. Aside from the given JABBING...and JABBING often. Mayweather is a master of neutralizing against the orthodox boxer's right cross with this Shoulder-Roll. And with his lunging left hook, Mosley should beware. Thus I would like to see Mosley throw occasional LEAD RIGHTS. LUNGING LEFT HOOKS and UPPERCUTS. Make Mayweather get out of his comfortable stance and his "fades and ducking". Thus the complimentary LEFT HOOK or UPPERCUT. To simulate a lefty by throwing from off-centered, unusual angles. But if Mosley would resort to conventional orthodox 1-2, it will be very predictable for Mayweather. Prediction? Mayweather for a UD but if Mosley can launch the unexpected, and hit Mayweather, he should rain on him and not let up. It can go either way but Mosley can't be complacent. The pressure is on him.

Shane can beat Floyd...anything is possible in boxing. Douglas KO'D Tyson...Mosley landing a solid shot on Mayweather is possible...but unlikely, though. I'm betting on Floyd regardless.

dude ive been saying that shane couldnt fuck wit floyd... but all these hatin ass niggas want it to be proven... so fine, after floyd dominates shane over 12, ill be the 1st to say i told yall so..... real talk Hope so....i really want Floyd to win this one in dominating fashion......floyd pitching a complete shutout against SSm would make my year in boxing!!!!

I think Mannys stamina, southpaw stance, and aggression throughout 12 rounds is a harder fight for Floyd. The most important to me being his stamina, not to just implement a gameplan, but to be able to do it for 12 rounds. Not sure about that...lately Manny like the true Pacman has gobbled up fighters who come forward. Floyd will not.......how will Manny find his rythm against a fighter who will not engage and is happy to win a round by landing 8punches to your 2 or 3??? Manny will literally have to chase Floyd.i don't think floyd will fight him the way he fough Judah and come forward or exchange the way he did against Corley. So if he is coming forward the whole fight it is going to take away some of the advantage of being a southpaw.....also it will allow floyd to counter if Manny moves forward in straight lines. Mayweather is a master at judging distance and his reach would help him against Manny's much shorter reach. Manny would need to fight the perfect fight to beat Floyd IMO as Floyd will be very defensive and happy to win by pot-shotting and moving. I could def see him frustrating Manny and disrupting his rythm. I think Pac would win the first 3 rounds....most southpaws always do.....the orthodox fighter takes a little while to adjust to what they have infront of them even if they are sparring with southpaws. Also if Manny tries to outthink Floyd i think it will be over. Everytime i see a fighter stop and think in the ring against Floyd, for the most part it is all over. He is just better at setting traps....you may think you have found something like a punch or a combo that works and he will adjust and whack you if you do it again.....you can see that in the zab fight...a few things that were working for Zab floyd adjusted too.....If Manny gets the chance to hit Floyd he better make sure he lays on the punishment....... Shane i think is a tougher fight for Floyd or at least is on par with the difficulty of Pac. He is stronger and will come in the bigger man. He will be 160 on the night of the fight, he is fast and he hits very hard. Also he has identical reach as PBF....so it will make it harder for Floyd to judge distance and he may fing himself getting hit at times he does not expect. Shane also used the jab effectively against Margarito....he will need to jab against floyd...and funnily enough Floyd needs to do the same thing...keep that jab in Shane's face and body.....slow him down and throw off his rythm....

i dont think he will but i do think he can who has floyd beaten at ww that brings to the ring what mosley does? mayweather is and should be the fave but mosley isnt exactly m hatton here of course he has a chance.
