"Shane Mosley = Floyd Mayweather Jr. who takes risks"

mosley hits harder, is stronger, and more aggressive.

floyd is a tad quicker, maybe not with hands, but all-around, smarter, and better defensively.

their styles are not really similar.

they both are pretty equal. That's why if they fight it would be a great fight!

Thats what one of my uncles was telling me. He was saying that Mosley was just as fast as Mayweather with possibly more power. Has about the same physically ability as far as movement. He could pot shot and back off just like Floyd, he just doesn't because he takes risks. But he thinks that if Floyd and Shane ever fought, Floyd would win. According to him, that would be the most cautious fight he would ever fight. He wouldn't want to look bad so he would do whatever it would take for Mosley not to reach him. But if both were to be compared, the difference is that Shane doesn't take the safe route. Any thoughts?

Shane beats Floyd, no question.

Valid synopsis of Mosley
I have to disagree with this statement. , Mosley will definitely find him

I kind of agree, but Floyd is a much more better defensive fighter- which probably makes him a better fighter, although not as entertaining. Floyd would be the complete package if he had a killer instinct. Mosley likes to get in there and exchange. When he gets hit, he likes to hit back right away.

Floyd by unanimous decision.

Mayweather and risk don't go together in the same sentence..

135-140 Prime Mosley beats him no doubt..

the 36 year old has a great chance

Although floyd is a very smart fighter, i won't automatically assume that he is smarter than shane by leaps and bounds. Mosley's losses and toughest fights, for the most part, have been against exceptionally techically proficient boxers.

With the exception of his fight with an aging and part time fighter, in De la hoya, floyd has yet to fight an opponent with the boxing abiltiy and size of a winky wright forrest etc. Most of Floyd's top opponents and wins have come against, the castillo and corrales (RIP) types; brawlers. Not exceptionally quick or defensive minded. Their styles complemented floyd's strengths (well somewhat). If Floyd were to fight the same forrest and wright mosley fought, he most likely would suffer the same fate as shane. Put winky in there instead of Castillo, and Floyd gets beaten decisively.
