But, I also think JMM was at a more natural weight against Pac do you agree? I think if Pac is fighting JMM at 147 Pac would stop and dominate him to be honest. I just don't think JMM carried the weight well... But, I also think if Floyd would of been more aggressive he would of stopped JMM also...Comment

Mosley-Mayweather was supposed to happen on Sep 25, 1999. It was going to be on regular HBO as a double header (dlh-trinidad replay and then mayweather-mosley). Check ringtalk.com archives. Mosley turned the fight down.

damm nature, you scary
I'm convinced that Floyd Mayweather is going to become the first man to KO Shane Mosley.
It won't come from one punch obviously. It will come from an accumulation of punches. I'm 200% positive that Floyd Mayweather could have knocked Juan Marquez out in ten rounds if he really pressed for it.
Just like the Baldomir fight, Floyd didn't press for the KO because of the risk involved. The risk of bigger paydays against Shane and Manny were simply too much to gamble. Floyd just played it safe and STILL beat every ounce of man out of JMM.
When Floyd fights Shane, it will be a different ball game. Floyd will put more on the line this time like he did against Chico, Gatti and even Hatton. This is a fight Floyd has wanted since 1999.
Shane Mosley fights with EGO first, intelligence second. That kind of mentality plays right into the hands of a master thinker like Floyd.
The jab will be key. I see Floyd unloading on Shane in the latter rounds. Jabs, lead lefts, straight rights, etc... Remember, Shane has good footwork, but he rarely moves his head and a lot of the time he stays in punching range while not punching.
If Shane wins a round after the 5th I'll be shocked. Put it like this: after this fight I don't even think the *******s will be pushing for a Mayweather-Pac fight anymore.Comment

MOSLEY EYING JUNIOR WELTERS
By MICHAEL KATZ
Thursday, April 15th 1999, 2:10AM
Shane Mosley, who finally became big as the 1998 Boxing Writers Association of America fighter of the year, may now be outgrowing the lightweight division.
"This is my last fight at 135," the IBF lightweight champion said from Indio, Calif., where Saturday he makes his seventh defense against short but tough John Brown of Atlantic City.
"It's a battle back and forth just to make the weight," said the unbeaten Mosley, reporting he was at 142 early in the week.
The 5-3 Brown is a 130-pounder. Many thought he was robbed in losing a Garden decision to Angel Manfredy last year before rebounding to end Gabriel Ruelas' career. "He's short," said Mosley, "so I'll probably be throwing a lot more uppercuts and a lot of body shots."
Mosley had hoped the 130-pound king, Floyd Mayweather Jr., would be moving up. Mayweather's father, Floyd Sr., has called his son the best fighter in the world. But they also announced they wanted to break Joe Louis' record of 26 successful title defenses, tantamount to saying forget about Mosley, who now has eyes on a junior-welterweight division that features Kostya Tszyu, Miguel Angel Gonzalez and fast-rising Zab Judah.Comment
