Shane Mosley vs. Floyd Mayweather @ 135

[-Antonio-]

Looking at it big picture, I think Shane would probably end up winning a close and controversial decision.

Seems like one of those fights where Floyd would land clean shots all night (straight right in this case), but Shane would be more the agressor with more punches thrown, maybe even landed.

I thought about the Judah fight and I saw how Judah was giving him trouble early,because of his speed,then I say to myself,Mosley is 100% better than Judah and what he can do Mosley can do better,so I say Mosley makes him look bad for 12 rounds and wins a UD!!

you sure ?

prime 135 Mosley was crazy fast and strong. skillfull too. if anything someone gets dominated.

It's rare for real top fighters like Mayweather/Mosley to get dominated, especially someone as well-rounded and resourceful as PBF. Mosley was dominated by Forrest and Wright, but made both rematches competitive, and was undersized against Wright.

When it's A caliber fighters I tend to think it'll always be competitive, unless there's a real style mismatch at play.

SSM's 3-4 inch jab and Plan A will mos def beat Mayweather.

Prime for prime, I'm picking Mosley by decision.

I dont see it.

Only because Shane's style is different enough to cause a guy like Floyd problems.

You can score points on Floyd with combinations. You'll get hit, but if you take chances when he's on the ropes you can out score him. You can also hit him with right hands if you feint with the left or time a good jab.

That said, Mosely is a lot easier to hit than Floyd is. I dont think Mayweather will have to go out of his way to hit Shane, where as Shane will have to stalk and open himself up to counters. It's a close fight all around.

i'd go shane in a very close but clear decision
would be a really great fight though

Man, forget about Mayweather-Pacquiao. SSM-PBF should happen! At 147, of course.
