Shane Mosley vs Floyd Mayweather at 147

[warp1432]

I'll wait and see how both men do in their upcoming matches first, but for now I'll say floyd by a SD.

Wlad,

by the time this fight happens, Shane would be nearly 37. I expect SSM to show up as an old man for any of his next fights. Or to GET old DURING one of his next fights.

36 year old former lightweights? Not a good history, champ.

That's a good point, I thought Mosley was 35, did he just turn 36 ?

Shane is used to being the speedy guy, he's used to having that speed advantage and when placed against someone who can match his speed (De La Hoya) he just went loco mode and started wailing off punches.. that being said I think that Floyd will use his speed and movement to land rapid fast, hard punches that will steal the rounds for the long run, Shane will go punch for punch with him when he can but Shane likes to throw flurries and **** away a lot, to do that he would have to be in front of you or near enough so that he himself can be countered, I think Floyd has enough skill to avoid Shane's major shots, land his and get out in the knick of time.. Floyd by UD on this one because if Vernon Forrest couldn't stop Shane then Mayweather definitely wont BUT he can out box him and maybe catch a flash knock down or two..

Shane can do the same but it's the techniques, Mayweather premeditates EVERY punches, notice closely how he uses his elbow to create punching space, he did it against Gatti and Chavez, so even when he throws his combos he's not wailing off at you but Shane just explodes when he's caught in an exchange, he goes a little blind then snaps into once out of the exchange, on the outside or making his way in Shane takes his time but once engaged in a exchange he goes off, I think Floyd can exploit that and get the better of it by simply countering and keeping it moving.. Floyd UD. 100

It happens, I liked Jose Canseco when I was a kid too, I think Almost all pro atheltes take some sort of supplements, some are illegal some not. I don't dislike an athelte for taking it, I liked watching him fight. and he seems like an alright guy to me. I don't know I guess for me the steroids issue is overblown, It would be great if no atheltes used it, but they do and I for one refuse to be so gastly taken aback when the media tells us of this hanus crime that has been commited to us.

He used to be me favorite fighter, but after wathcing him get beat up by winky a couple times, He fell off and so did my love for him. But I still respect his talent. Of course he's gonna get beat by my favortie fighter now Cotto in 6!

Vernon Forrest taxed that ass also and he is a very skilled boxer/puncher.

[WLAD OWNS]

Floyd may win a decision because of Mosley's age, but a prime Mosley would beat Floyd at 135,140 and 147 IMO.

I kinda feel that way but honestly I think it could go either way. They both were a beast at the lower weights. (130-135)

[Toddy]

i think il wait to see the outcome of the two up and coming fights first, then make a prediction

[slicksouthpaw16]

Who ever picked Mosley by Ko is just a floyd hater. plain and simple. I dont even think mosley has scored a knockout at welterweight and yall expect him to knock out the pound for pound king? yeah ok. the only people to beat mosley were to out box him and that is floyds best ability. his boxing skill. i think it will be a great fight and shane would try to apply some pressure and show his hand speed but i see floyd taking a majority decision. I just see shane being hit with those lead rights all night. he would have trouble with the movement and hand speed of floyd as well.

How do you feel about his steroids use?

It got him by Collazo in a UD last fight. Yes, the same much disparaged Collazo that fought Hatton. Maybe Collazo is pretty good after all. What do you think about that, dios?
