Mosley respected Mayorga and Cotto's power, and the Cotto fight was close I had Cotto winning 7 rounds to 5, I dont think he will respect Floyd's power the way he did with Cotto and Mayorga, he was a bit careful. Styles make fights...Cotto and Mayorga had size and strength, Floyd is coming off a win against JMM, to go from JMM to Mosley is completely different, it should be a competitive fight.
How does mosley have a good chance???

Mosley has a good chin, good power and does not crack under pressure. Floyd is no pressure fighter, and has no power so Shane's chin will not be remotely bothered. The only thing Floyd can do is frustrate Shane and beat him to the punch by his good timing and accurate pot shots.Comment

first of all, im not hating on the fight. im glad its happening, i just wish it would of happen earlier. hope the fight does well (ppv #s wise).
I just dont see how people will think this fight will be competitive. Mosley got outboxed by cotto and mayorga. And floyd is a better boxer than both of them and wont come forward like them. So mosley only has a punchers chance imho.
Mosley got outboxed by cotto - Aside from Cotto's last three or four performances - in which he took much punishment cummalitively, when he fought Mosely, Cotto's had an awesome ability to out-box a boxer. One could definitely argue Cotto was the man to beat in the WW division. A person that at one point was the guy to face mayweather at that time. SOOOO, Mosely clearly was just out-boxed by a great fighter despite the "closeness" of the match. Mosely has a great ability to box anyone, I strongly believe he is a great student as LONG as the trainer is able to give good coherent technical game plan during the fight.
....and mayorga - I very much agree that this fight was much more difficult than what it should have been for Mosely's caliber. I think Mosely was caught off guard by Mayorga's jab. Yes! Mayorga actually box a bit during that fight!!! Who would've thought! Again, I think he underestimated Mayorga, and thought it was an easy fight.
..... floyd is a better boxer than both of them and wont come forward like them. - True, though it's unfair to generalize; my question is, has Floyd ever fight a guy moving forward like Mosely before? I think of one person and that I can think of that gave Floyd trouble - castillo, I think of De La Hoya for some portion of the first couple rounds of the fight. I think Floyd does have trouble with a good jab, and "shells up" when the pressure is on.
...So mosley only has a punchers chance - Well, I guess so, but Mosely has a great ability to apply pressure, "smart" pressure if Brother ****m gives him the direction that Mosely needs! Mosely made many mistakes in his fights sometimes by his father's direction when he was trained.Comment
