Mosley should try to bully Mayweather the way Hatton tried to.

    No doubt about it. Shane needs to make it a dogfight and sap Mayweathers energy w/ rough house tactics and raw power.

    Shane is a beast in the clinch too.

      it looked close early on but then you could clearly see what Mayweather was doing in setting traps etc

        Shane should watch some old Jack Johnson fights. That guy was a master at sapping people's strength.

          Nope,
          or not that much.

          I think Mosley should try to jab the **** out of Floyd and steal some rounds first like Oscar did,Floyd don t like a good jab,he fought Flat footed guys with no jab all his career.

          Mosley has a good jab,even if he tries to bully Floyd,he has to work behind his jab.

          An athlete like Mosley can beat Floyd,but he has to fight smart.
          He sounded punch drunk more than ever in the press conf,so I dunno.

            At the very least that's how he should start the fight. If he can rough Mayweather up and get him thinking too much about it and then switch up halfway through the fight, Mosley will have a very good chance to win.

                  Actually I think Floyd is probably the more savvy inside fighter of the two, but you are right that Mosley imposing his large advantage in physical power on Floyd during clinches and stuff would be helpful and could sap some of Mayweather's energy.

                    shane should when floyd backs up into his shell on the ropes shane should wail away and lean on floyd as much as possible without getting points deducted.
