    If they fought right now, Mosley would beat Mayweather

    And if Mayweather comes back, he better fight Mosley right away. I fear Mayweather might wait a year or 2 for that though (if he does), basically waiting for Mosley to age... I think Mosley's offense would be a very bad style matchup for Mayweather, and he has the best defense out of anybody Mayweather has fought and he's very quick. Mosley has the speed, accuracy, and power to even stop floyd

    SSM would be live, but I'd favor PBF by UD. Mr boat buyer don't want it wit WW's now anyway, so this is pointless.

        Floyd has offered Shane the fight before and Shane turned him down. And if you go by other talk, like from Sr. and some others, Floyd wanted to fight Shane when Shane was still at LW.

        If anybody is going to be at a disadvantage now it will be Jr.

        I didn't think Floyd was fighting at his best before he left, let alone what he might be like now with such a long layoff during RETIREMENT.

        If Floyd can't get himself to fight at his best anymore, he should stay retired. Mentally, he already retired and physically his body wanted to retire.

        If he does come back, he should take his time before he steps up against a top elite. Doubt he would do that though.

          larry what you talking bout. Mosley looked bad against mayorga. Some say they had mayorga ahead till the 12th round. Even though he knocked him out finally but mayorga took it to mosley early.

            What do you mean waiting for Mosley to age his is aged now I have liked Shanes chances with Floyd all along , untill I saw Cotto out box him , if Cotto can outbox Shane Floyd will do it as well only easier , I dont think Shane could handle Floyds speed now , he was always slower than Floyd only now the speed is more so , mate everybody is gunna stop Floyd but nobody has come close , Floyd will beat Floyd not another fighter , more like his inactivity .

              That part is a Mayweather exaggeration. It didn't happen like that at all. Mosley moved to welter at the time Mayweather just got to LW.

                Floyd can outbox Mosley. He wont hurt him though.

                Boring UD for Floyd.

                  I have to admit, Mosley *does have a big chance to beat him right now, with the long lay off and ring rust playing a big part.
