    Oscar caught and shook Floyd several times, and almost won. If Shane is just more nasty than Oscar, which he very well could be, then he has a good chance to win. Anyone can see that. Floyd did not do enough vs Oscar to make people think that he would just beat Shane easily. I would favor Floyd to win a close fight, sure. But you get my drift.

      Have you seen how fast shanes hands are?? with the combination of power and pressure makes it a very hard fight for floyd.. not saying he will walk right through him.. It doesnt mean im right.. Its just how I see it..

        Shane does have a chance at beating Floyd. I'll be honest. Oscar really only caught Floyd towards the end of a round with a shot while Floyd was backing up. I don't think Oscar ever wobbled Floyd. Floyd didn't even beat Oscar with his A game. Floyd barely ever threw a combination and still beat Oscar.

          IMO his hands are nowhere near as fast as they once were. He only looked fast against Collazo when he was throwing flurries and they didn't have much power behind them. I'm not saying he's slow, but I don't think its an advantage like some people are making it out to be. I just don't see anything that Shane has that would be anything Floyd couldn't handle. IMO Hatton is a slightly harder fight because of his style and Cotto is by far the toughest fight for any welterweight. But like you said, thats just how I see it.

            anyway I have been saying this for ages" hatton-mayweather is going to be a good fight to watch. I dont even care if it is going to be the hardest one for mayweather, but hatton's strengths (speed, pressure, the best at getting on his opponent) make me believe that floyd will have to fight.

              and again

              1) Mosley turns 36 in september.
              2) he did not win a title fight (convincingly) since 2001

                      Yeah, in a classless way you make that obvious. Good thing for me I don't care.
