I was watching his fight with Hatton right before he retired and his fight with Marquez and i noticed his endurance and legs are nothing like they once were.I think Mayweather has really deteriorated since his fight with Hatton.I dont think people really noticed it much because he shut Marquez out and people really focus on that but any good welter would have done the same to Marquez at that weight and most would have ko'd him.If you ignore that and really watch the guy he looks heavier on his feet and he looked winded after only 6 really slow paced rounds in a easy fight.If im correct and he doesnt have the legs or endurance now days hes going to be taken apart by Shane because after 4 hard rounds he could end up in the trenches with Shane for the rest of the fight.
Im not making excuses all im saying is that the Mayweather that handled Hatton and DLH might not be the guy that shows up that night.There are alot of people who seem to think that Floyd will show up looking like he did before he retired and just shut out Shane because hes older and a bit past his prime.I think Floyd might not be aging as well as Shane is and he might not have all the tools to do alot of the things his fans think he will be able to.It just seems to me that to many people are looking at this fight like its prime Mayweather vs old Mosley.
I would be more surprised if the Shane Mosley we see on May 1st is the same Shane Mosley who stopped Antonio Margarito. I can see Richardson being forced to throw in the towel.
shane is looking his sharpest in the last 5 years and floyd has been inactive and slowing like said previously
Shanes best chances are in the early rounds
He moved quite a bit in the Marquez fight. Those lunging straight right hand leads, for instance. But yeah he's not as light of a guy as he used to be. This will help him against shane though, Floyd isn't a small fighter anymore for his division, so if Shane think he gonna bully Floyd around the ring, he sadly mistaken.
I noticed Floyd's jump rope work isn't nearly as blinding as it used to be, from what I see on 24/7 though. However, the editors could be leading us to believe that on purpose I suppose.
The thing is with the Marquez fight you gotta ask yourself "Did he need to use his legs AT ALL"? the answer is NO so i don't understand how you noticed this.
Floyd hasn't REALLY fought since '07.....the Marquez fight told us NOTHING about how Floyd would deal with a legit solid WW who can punch like Shane.....NOTHING!!.....Floyd is in trouble :boxing:
To be honest bro i don't agree with you mainly because Floyd is the type of fighter where by he will move and use his legs if his opponent is aggresive and constantly coming forward however if, like JMM, you simply stand in front of him thinking of what punch to throw there is no reason for him to use his legs and use pointless energy.

I like excuses before the fight even happens.

Legs can be chalked up to rustyness. And even if he has deteriorated as much as people would hate to admit it, if there's 1 thing floyd does better than anything else it's fight in the trenches.
