    What does Mosley bring to the table against Mayweather?

    it's not about styles, cause imho intelligent-potshotter/counterpuncher beats a speedy-brawler... but:

    mosley can match speed 4 speed w/ floyd
    mosley has better power
    mosley has better volume
    mosley has equal size
    mosley has strength in clinches

    All h8 aside, what would happen should they fight?
    mosley would give floyd his stiffest test yet, but floyd would pull it out because of his defense.

    but that doesn't mean floyd can duck mosley or wait until mosley gets older.

          Honestly in his prime i think Mosley takes this, he dont have the legs to go looking for Floyd all night imo. UD to Floyd but a close one i think.

          Mosley has power, strength over Floyd im not sure what else

            mosley is faster and hits harder and throw better combinations...floyed use his legs more and is defensive more.. noway mayweather ever fights mosley ..the reason, mosey altered his style in the margarito fight and hes really tough to beat right now

              I mentioned that earlier. Mosley would have to walk Floyd down. Mayweather would be giving him great movement and footwork to wear down those 40 year old legs. I still think Mosley has the best chance of knocking Floyd off his pedestal.

                How did he change his style? Not dis*****g it, just want to know, I must've missed it.

                    Mosley IMO would be more aggressive against Mayweather than he was with Cotto. With Cotto, he had to worry not only about Cotto's Boxing ability, but also Cotto's power. I don't think Floyd's power will phase Mosley giving him more leverage to apply a lot of pressure and get rough with Mayweather.
                    Floyd's a great defender, but he picks fights that compliment his counter punching style. With Mosley, he'll have to be on his toes all night and eventually exchange. Mosley can turn it up when he wants an since being at WW, Floyd's output has enormously decreased (especially in the combinations dept).

                    These two will fight in 2010, I have no doubt about that.
