I'm sure Mayweather will have to fight Mosley in the pocket at times during the fight. Mosley likes to pressure and is more of brawler than a boxer, but Mosley doesn't have very good feet. He wont be able to force Mayweather to fight out of the pocket all night. Floyd will mix it up and keep Mosley guessing.
So dont expect for him to fight in the pocket. Floyd has his shoulder defense in which he lays on the ropes and slips punches and comes back with a mean counter right hand. Floyd isnt going to change over night for this fight to fight Shane on the inside. Shane would eat Floyd up on the inside. Floyd will box the way he has always boxed in all of his fights. Floyd doesnt change and thats why I feel that although he is a great defensive boxer, he is a one dimensional great defensive boxer. Floyd doesnt brawl, he doesnt come to knock anybody out, he comes to box the hell out of you without taking punishment AND IT WORKS FOR HIM!! Shane is a more versitile all around great fighter and that will be the difference. I wouldnt advise Floyd to fight in the pocket because it would take Floyd out of his natural element and play right into Shanes hands..
