Prime Mosley vs Mayweather?

I think Mosley would have stopped Floyd at 135 and at 147 won a decision.

Prime Mosley would win, but a prime Mosley was on steroids so that's expected...Without them I'd definitely pick Floyd.

He's not versatile enough to beat Floyd. Before retirment I would pick a prime Mosley at WW maybe but now that Floyd has grown into his frame, I think he beats a prime Mosley at WW

Mosley can't adapt but I'd give prime Mosley a really good chance. Prime Mosley was alot quicker and had fast legs, I'd pay $100 to see that on PPV.

floyd wins period. hes too smart. mosley has no defense he trips over his feet throws a looping wide right hand and a weak pepper jab. he has nothing for to offer floyd except trying to make it a dirty brawl and then his power and speed may catch floyd.
as long as floyd keeps the fight smart he wins no problem

I think Shane would have won a clear unanimous decision at the least. I think he could have stopped him because his combo of both speed AND power was just sick. I think he would be able to hit Floyd. But now I think Shane will still out work him so he won't really have to find him, so I think he could outwork him for a decision but since I think it'll be close, if that happens, Floyd will probably win a split or majority decision.

At 135 Mosley threw quick combos and Mayweather was more willing to stand and trade so I think Mosleys offense would outwork Floyds defense. A Mayweather who is content to potshot beats anybody tho.

Actually both Mosley-DLH fights were split decisions. And he had to use steroids to hang in the final rounds (and pretty much everyone scored the rematch in favor of DLH). Who knows how easy the fights would have been for DLH without steroids.

On another note, I personally don't think either is in their prime right now. Mayweather's prime was 130-140 and Mosley's was 135 and MAYBE part of 147 (depends on when he started using steroids). I think Mayweather-Mosley would be great at 135.
