Shane Mosely for years has been an under appreciated boxer compared to his undeniable skill level and resume. A win over Floyd Mayweather Jr. would cement Mosely's legacy as one of the all time greats. This has to be in Mosely's mind everytime he hits the streets for road work and everytime he gets in the ring with his sparring partners. Those who believe and old Mosely is going to show up may be very very surprised. He has so much incentive to show up in prime form and suck it up for 12 rounds. For that 48 minutes he can make himself feel 20 again. I think this is going to be an epic fight that can go either way.
It's a legacy fight for both guys.
No doubt, but Mayweather win or lose is going to be regarded as an all time great and he has to be peeking ahead a little to Pacquiao. It is only natural. Just like Pac is peeking ahead to Mayweather.
