What does Mosley bring to the table against Mayweather?

[Jiddu Dali]

Stylistically what will he bring? All h8 aside, what would happen should they fight?

Damn Mosley beats Margarito and all of a sudden he is this BEAST?

this is the same guy outboxed by 1 jab winky and Outboxed by Cotto....


I think Mosley has more to worry about fighting Mayweather than Mayweather has worries fighting Mosley

SSM brings handspeed, power, a good chin, and 12 rd stamina. He just ain't got the legs to beat Mr boat buyer. He takes 4 rds 4 sho, maybe 5, but he loses a UD. Mr boat buyer's footwork would make the difference.

Agreed....and what about Mosley head Hunting..thats all he has been doing is last few fights

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

in his prime, mosley dodged floyd....twice why? b/c mosley knew floyd would beat his ass. and floyud will beat his ass now

Ask yourself:

If Floyd wasn't absolutely sure that he could beat Shane, would he have chased a fight with him all this time? You guys say that Floyd is a cherry-picker. Well, Floyd sees something in Shane that makes PBF pretty confident that he would beat Shane.

Remember, Floyd first called Shane out when PBF was at 130, and SM was on his way to WW.

The second time was when PBF was on his way to 147, and Shane was in his Jose Cruz/ David Estrada era, and was suffering the post-steroid effects, and asked for tune-ups.

The third time was after the second Vargas fight.

Now, if Floyd is chasing a bigger guy like that, what does that tell you? Mayweather felt he could make a name off that guy. And that he would win.

It's amazing to me that so many of these bloggers are even wasting their time analyzing a fight that the great Mayweather obviously don't want to take. Right now, you can't make MW get in the ring with a proven fighter of Mosley's caliber. He will use all the excuses available to him to get out of taking that fight. Boxers know those who are serious threats to them. Boxers know what their vulnerablities are. MW knows SSM possess the speed to catch him, the power to hurt him, the ring intelligence to match him and the experience and physical strength to rough him up and make him use energies that he never had to use. Any intellegent boxing fan clearly understands that MW is not Margarito. Shane would have to use a whole different strategy in fighting a runner and counter-puncher like MW. But for those haters who are simply begrudging Shane for their boy MW, they know in their heart of hearts that Shane is clearly not washed-up and is fact the most serious threat to MW's protected undefeated record. It is unconsciousable that this guy has been allowed to get away with fighting the fighters he has faced in the last 6 years. How can anyone one continue to support someone who is obviously avoiding the most serious challanges to his perfect record. While I do admit I am an ardent SSM fan, I'm also objective in what he brings to the table in a potential match-up with MW. I see Shane having some difficulty finding MW over the first half of the fight. But be it known, Shane is not a blown-up feather weight fighting MW, he is a real, powerful and skilled champion. SSM would eventially catch MW with something real powerful and brutally get him layed out on the canvas or make his corner stop the fight between rounds. If this fight were to happen within a year SSM wins this one hands down--unless MW decide he's going to avoid contact all night and call it boxing. Until MW get's the intestinal fortitude to sign for the fight, all of his fans need to just be quite about how great he is. You are not great because you proclaim it. Boxing greatness is about utilizing your skills to beat the BEST fighters available skills.

shane will be the fastest most powerful and just plain best fighter that floyd has ever fought

mosley has the potential to ktfo mayweather or anybody at ww... floyd knows that

I think Floyd knows a Mosley fight will be tough.
