    what bothers shane is length.

    forrest is very tall and long. winky while not that tall is also long.


    they are both crafty boxers and have good jabs...

      Floyd chased Mosley before giving up on fighting him at all.
      when did floyd chase mosley?

      a couple years ago when shane went through a couple of losses?

      man , don't make it seem like floyd was gunning for mosley and mosley ducked him.

      mosley has fought the best of the best. mayweather hasn't fought the best since his 135 days. give me a break.

      when did floyd want to fight him? AFTER mosley was going through a few losses and a rough patch in his career.

        Floyd could provide some problems for Mosley at this point. Mosley gets countered a lot by boxer of Floyd's caliber. But Shane would still be quick, stronger, more powerful and the angles he fights at could pose trouble for Floyd. He also will have a significant weight advantage.

          i wouldn't say slick. when i think slick i think of movers.

          their jabs gave shane problems because of their length.

            Mayweather wins a SD. Don't think Mosley is faster now.

                Epic fight that would go to the scorescards. I thought Shanes fight with Cotto was epic. I think Floyd does certain things better than Cotto but Shanes preparations for Floyd would make a difference as well. Its a tough fight to call but I would LOVE to see it.

                  Pressure has always given Floyd problems. Shane not only presents pressure, but it's pressure with fast hands and power, an improved version of Castillo, Shane would probably lose a close fight to Floyd today, but prime for prime he beats Floyd.

                    i'd love to see this fight, does cotto need to avenge his loss to margarito before he can fight mosley? i'm not sure.

                    give me floyd - mosley and i'll be happy anyway.

                      My whole issue with Mosley beating Mayweather is that if you can force Mosley off his plan A, he is not nearly as good when you make him go to his plan B or C. Now the fighters that really made Mosley look bad are a lot bigger then Mayweather so he would have to go about things in his own way.
                      It is an interesting fight though, and although I favor Floyd, I would not count out Mosley (now or in the past I would favor Floyd, except for when the fight was first discusses when Floyd was 130 and Mosley was 135 Mosley would have to be the favorite at that time but I still think it could go either way).
