    he may be able to do it with his speed. shane is comfortable slugging with a mayorga but he really has to be in a higher gear for the whole mayweather fight. he cant fall asleep in there.. de la hoya looked like a speedster against mayorga but de la hoya looked very slow against mayweather even when he was actually throwing pretty freakin fast

      If he did ending up stopping Shane I think it will definitely be unfair for the public to write it off as anything else but a huge accomplishment. To say that Shane was washed up, or rusty, or whatever would be crazy.

        There's no way to stop his critics. Even if Floyd had fought everyone, and beat everyone, there would still be excuses why those fights were not great wins. Floyd has caused this hatred with his mouth, and as long as he is fighting, there will continue to be criticism. The funny thing is deep down everyone knows he's the best whether they would like to admit it or not. Even Pacquiao fans were crying he wasn't going to get enough rest if they had fought in March. Where are those excuses now?

          Good point. I feel you with that.

            What if Floyd actually fought like he had a pair? Not gonna happen. So no reason to entertain this idea, unless you like fantasizing.

              It would be quite a feat I would imagine.

                Everyone knows if PBF wins its gonna be on points, theres no way he'd risk slugging it out with SSM and thats the only way he'd be able to KO him...

                Having said that if PBF wins via KO or even TKO itll be a huge boost for him, and itll give him a license to run his mouth even greater than he already does.

                  It could happen without Floyd having to "slug it out" with Mosley. In fact I think Mayweather's chances for a KO would be much lesser if he tried to go toe-to-toe.

                  The way Floyd can and possibly will KO Mosley is by landing shots that Mosley never sees coming. Look at the knockdown of Marquez by Floyd. JMM never saw the lead left hook coming at him.

                  The same can happen to Mosley. I can't remember the last time Shane fought a fighter with speed and defense.
