    Shane is better, no matter how you put it.

      Floyd has fought 40 times, what can Shane do any different?? Shane can't handle speed and slick counterpunchers either. He has more to worry about than Floyd.

        I've seen Castillo hit Mayweather more than anyone and Mayweather never wilted or gave in. In fact I believe it was the 10th or 11th round, Mayweather could not outbox him so he had to fight in the pocket and was doing quite well. He did everything he could to win that fight considering his injury. Mayweather is one of the toughest boxers out there with a great chin. A fighter can only hurt himself believing the opposite. Hatton thought he could out muscle Mayweather and Mayweather was the one who beat him at his own game.

          He's going to smile. It's obvious Floyd doesn't like getting hit or he is so confident he won't get hit he smiles when you tag him. Your choice which one you choose. He does that **** everytime he is hit clean or on the ropes, maybe to try and play off he isn't hurt, who knows.

            I disagree with that. Shane really lost that second fight to Oscar. Also when you compare them stylistically, Oscar had a much more adaptable style than Shane. Shane has been out boxed rather easily on a few occasions, Oscar in his prime was damn near impossible to cleanly out box, only way to beat him was to get nasty about it, or rob him.

              The same way any good defensive fighter reacts when he gets hit, thinks why the punch landed, what mistake he made for it to land, and correct the problem.

                We are talking about 2007 Oscar vs Mosley Now.

                  well Im not a 110% sure of that but I wont argue against it. People forget that Oscar had just killed Mayorga and Shane just went 12 hard rounds with Mayorga before that fight. Again though, if you want to say that Shane is better then I wont fight that because he's a beast and Im a big fan.

                  However, I think you are missing my point. I wasnt trying to spin it like saying that Oscar is better. I was trying to spin it in terms of Floyd. I think Shane may be the better fighter but its cancled out by the fact that Floyd is probably 5 pounds bigger or more, is now comfortable at WW, the fight will be at WW & not 154, and Floyd isnt giving up nearly 20 pounds in the ring. I think that does legitmatly cancel things out. Its like saying that Shane is clearly way better than Sturm but that doesnt mean that Floyd wouldnt have just as hard of a time or harder if he had to fight Sturm right now at MW.

                    Oscar and Mosley were just about unbeatable until they got to 147. The only guy I would have picked against both of them at any weight is Mayweather.

                    Oscar clearly won the 2nd fight with Mosley. Anybody who says otherwise must have given Mosley every close round plus 2 more he didn't deserve to win.

                      Mosley will just bring out the best in Floyd, and will get himself a serious ass whooping !

                      Mosley will bring out the killer instincts and attacking nature in Floyd......

                      And Floyd will just start badly outclassing Mosley
