It should look something like the De La Hoya fight.

Maybe a little more difficult. Mosley is still pretty quick and agile, but he does have core weakness against boxers like Mayweather. I think it will be very interesting to see what Shane does though.

You mean in that he wins a SPLIT DECISION against another OLD OUT OF HIS PRIME fighter? I don't know honestly. I think if Shane stays active enough, he can pull off the UD or SD. Shane's biggest thing is he can't follow Floyd around or let Floyd settle into a counter punching rythme all night. I think Mosley's best shot is to stay real close and rip those short hooks like he did in close to Margarito. Eventually something will get through.

Shane should also get stronger as the fight goes on, unlike DLH. But by then, Mayweather should have made a proper adjustment.

i agree. i leaned my lesson from that fight. never buy floyds PPVs again, its boring as fuuck.

I was thinking De La Hoya threw every punch as a haymaker. I think mosley will mix it up like that finishing combo against Margarito, making him more accurate and unpredictable. I think he will put on a little less pressure but be more effective. De La Hoya tagged may a couple times. I think maybe may had to get used to the reach. mosley should be able to land more and harder. I think this may be a war actually. In a war mosley has the advantage, but floyd is tough as nails, skillful, and also has great stamina.

This will be Mayweather's best performance to date. Mosley is going to get out-boxed, and counterpunched repeatedly. Just go back and watch Mosley's last 4 fights. The only one that was impressive was the Margarito one and that's best Margarito just followed Shane around and was stationary and flat footed. He prides himself in taking his opponents punches which is not boxing. We all know its hit and not get hit. He took a lot of bombs and his body caved in. The Mayorga fight was crazy because Mayorga was actually winning more of the exchanges. Watch the first couple of rounds of Mosley's fights including the Magarito one. He loves pawing with his jab and loading up for 2 big shots. The overhand right and the left hook or left hook to the body. His speed is negated because he throws looping punches which would make someone with great reflexes see them and counter him. He throws his punches lunging in to get all his weight behind it but when his opponent slips his overhand right then he is out of position and in a blind spot. Don't take my word for it go look at the tape

Another thing...we can't have it both ways...either Mosley's a monster-(this is what they said after the Margarito fight) or he is past his prime-(this is what they are saying now since Floyd has agreed to fight him.

And another thing...please stop drinking this Manny (Jim Jones) Pacquiao- Kool Aid...Top ATG...Laughable at best....Fighter of the decade...Questionable for sure
