Will Floyd Mayweather Get Credit For Beating Shane Mosley?

He will get loads of credit from me. Loads because I don't think it's the cakewalk the rest of you are making it out to be. This is the best matchup at 147 in years. i like your post and you definitely hit right on the money

He should get credit. It is not an easy fight... This is the first that I have felt since the Castillo rematch that the opponent has a chance to beat Floyd.... I gave fighters from Sosa to JMM and every single fighter in between ZERO chance to beat Floyd... And, even though I am predicting Floyd to win this fight. I think he will pull it off. I am giving Shane a great chance of winning also... I wouldn't be shocked if Shane won, I wouldn't call it a big upset if Shane beat Floyd. And, I respect for Floyd for taking this fight. I think he is finally taking a risky fight since the Castillo rematch... So me personally I am giving him the up most credit for this fight... And, if he wins it ranks up there with the Corrales, Castillo, Chicanito wins...

Oscar was also in his prime at the time. Mayweather is not. And both Chavez and Whitaker had less in the tank that Mosley has now. if you look at the history of their fights prior to fighting Oscar you'll see that yourself. Also add in the fact that he didn't beat Whitaker

No he didn't. You probably did though. c'mon man!!!! you know floyd said it.

Well he'll get more credit than any win he's had in the past 8 years. But not beyond the call of duty.

If he wins it will be a good name on his record, but there are alot of people that give B-Hop credit for beating Jones Jr. and Jeff Fenech credit for beating Azumah Nelson in ther third bout, I guess it depends on how tou define "credit".

WHY should Mayweather get credit for beating a 38 year old Mosley who is out of his prime??? They don't give credit to DLH for beating Whitaker and Chavez. The same should apply with Mayweather with his flomos. Oscar was also in his prime at the time. Mayweather is not. And both Chavez and Whitaker had less in the tank that Mosley has now. if you look at the history of their fights prior to fighting Oscar you'll see that yourself.

didn't floyd say mosley was shot, old, easywork? why then should he get credit when he denigrates mosley at every chance? No he didn't. You probably did though.

Not an easy fight for Mayweather and one he could lose. Best match up at 147 since Cotto-Margarito. I see extreme comments from all sides. From" Floyd will beat him easy" which I think is unrealistic. To "Mosley is shot" which is an early excuse if Mayweather wins. I've also seen "Mosley knocks out Mayweather because Mayweather has no chin and doesn't like to get hit" As if any fighter does. Some people are too biased in both ways. Claiming that Mosley will be easy or that Mosley is shot. This is a very competitive match up. Even Mayweather's trainers acknowledge this. Funny thing is some of the same people that think Mosley is shot were talking about how great a fight between Mosley and Pacquaio would be. But he's shot for Mayweather. Go figure. If Mayweather wins he'll get credit from people who watch the sport minus the biased immature emotions.

Either man should get all the credit in the world for beating the other. This is the truest match-up at 147, and the winner should be ranked as the best without question.

He gets alot of credit from me. No matter how any tries to spin it Shane is the rightful Number 1 WW. He already did that once before and got no credit, this is a reoccuring theme...we already know how this movie ends.

The fight is getting close and I wanna know will Floyd get credit. Shane is coming off a win over Margarito so you can't say he was over the hill. When he beats Mosley there will be no excuses. hell no!!! Judah was too fast, baldomir was too big, Oscar was smi-retired, and hatton had the style and he got no credit for them. expect him to get none for Mosley!

Why wouldn't he? People need to get over the Pac fight. Shane is the man to beat at WW.

didn't floyd say mosley was shot, old, easywork? why then should he get credit when he denigrates mosley at every chance? Floyd said hes a Hall of famer and one of the greatest WW's ever or did you miss that part? Shane also called Floyd a JWW with no belt. So shane gets no credit for fighting the smaller man? Be consistent.

didn't floyd say mosley was shot, old, easywork? why then should he get credit when he denigrates mosley at every chance?do you ever stop hatin????

He gets alot of credit from me. No matter how any tries to spin it Shane is the rightful Number 1 WW. Sorry to discourage you, but Clottey is #1 WW, and that's why Manny fought him.

Fighting Mosley is bigger than fighting Pacquiao at this point as I regard Shane as the #1 WW champion. I've never underestimated or questioned Floyd's boxing abilities. He got credit from me when he was fighting and beating the compitition handed too him and he will undoubtly get credit from me if he wins against Shane. Even if it doesn't go his way, I'll still regard him as one of the best fighters in the history of this sport. This is only from a boxing perspective - I don't care what he does out of the ring...unless if it's assaulting people end stabbing them (Valero...).

He gets alot of credit from me. No matter how any tries to spin it Shane is the rightful Number 1 WW. Real talk.

Real boxing fans will give him credit. I was always critical of floyd's selection process for opponents in the past but this is a real fight as Shane is still the number one WW in the world imo and a real test for floyd.
