    Is this a trick question? His defense.

      But in the past Floyd always needs an extra edge even in fights he is heavily favored to win.

      Hatton: extra edge= Cortez
      Marquez: extra edge not making weight

      So what will it be for Mosley?

        Mosley can't win a boxing match with Floyd. I bellieve Mosley is going to try and pressure Floyd. Try to invest into the body or turn it into a brawl. Shane eats jabs, not so good head movement (Ask Cotto) and no inside game. Floyd is a all round fighter. Shane would have to win this fight on pressure or trying to set up that wild right he throws with his eyes close. Lol

          His countering since Mosley does throw a good amount, his footwork so Mosley has to reset his onslaught. Speed isn't a factor, the countering will handle the business.

            Mayweather's advantages-foot movement,faster reflexes, straighter punches,better defense,better boxing I.Q.

            Shane is great at what he has done,but he is not as fast as he used to be-also,in his last few fights he is more of a slugger.He won't be able to do this with Floyd.Floyd will keep distance and strike where there is an opening.It should still be a very tough night for Floyd.Shane is very durable and has good power.I would pick Mosely over Pacquiao even at this stage of his career...

                if he won't use xylocaine, no advantage at all.

                  He's fresher and has way better footspeed. Floyd's foot speed is why I think he wins this fight, Mosley won't be able to keep up every round for 12 rounds.

                    The fact that Mosley is close to 40 would be a factor.

                      His brain.

                      Mosley does throw some of the fastest combinations but I think Mayweather will be able to adjust and counter effectively, keeping Mosley at bay.
