    See, I don't agree with that. I think the idea that Floyd could fight any and everyone the same way is what I think has people a bit jaded. Floyd doesn't like fighting guys who's output is high, and Mosley even at 37-38 still throws a lot of punches. Where Floyd has an advantage is his ring knowledge and defense, but eventually he's going to have to fight.

    The way Cotto beat Shane is where I think Floyd may be a little apprehensive. Cotto boxed Mosley, but he traded with him. I'm still not sold on Floyd winning a fight against Pac, Mosley, or Cotto just off his defense and countering.

        Floyd is my second favorite fighter behind Mosley. But the one thing I noticed about Floyd since his move up to 147 is that he throws onepunch at a time for the most part. He is still accurate as hell. But the combinations were not there like they were at 130-135, besides the Hatton fight towards the end.

            I still have to go with Floyd. But it would make my year for Shane to put him out.

              i'd have to agree if fmj hit as hard as forrest or was much bigger like wright, but the matchup in speed is similar and shane would find floyd to the body and head a little more than anyone else he's fought

                Mayweather is training for a fight, Mosley isn't.

                  Mosley has enough speed to stop Floyd from avoiding him, the power to scare him, and the boxing skills to compete with the counter punching.

                  Mosley wins a decision, can't say KO because we really don't know what Mayweather's chin is like. Mosley would certainly be the one to test it.

                    If Mosley can be outbox by Cotto am sure Mayweather would be able to do it as well...

                      I think it's safe to say Mosley's age isn't playing a part in anything (especially a fight with Floyd). He's fought Margarito, Cotto, Mayorga in his last 3 fights a KO'd 2 guys and lost a close decision to one. He's not proven yet he can have the longevity like Bernard has, but you can't base Mosley's age on being a factor of him losing. If anything, it would be Floyd outputting Mosley with his Boxing, but in NO WAY is it an easy task.
                      Margarito fight aside I've definitely seen tell tale signs of his age catching up to him

                      Mosley in his prime maybe gives Mayweather a hell of a fight but in 2009/2010 i really don't see an outcome besides a Floyd victory
