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

    I agree with those that say the Mayweather has the edge even on the inside but Mosley's best option is to use his size and tire Mayweather. Keeping as much pressure on him will allow less room for Floyd to make adjustments. I just hope Mosley doesn't "feel" him out to much because once Mayweather has you figured out you're done. On the other hand it's damn near impossible to adjust to Mayweather. You can't adjust to Floyd, he adjust to you, so Mosley has to keep the pressure on especially early to tire Floyd. He needs to fight dirty and smart, like Hopkins lol.

        Mayweather is too strong for that. His strength is underrated. Mosley cant bully him. He also doesnt have footspeed and ability to cut the ring off. Mayweather beat Hatton at his own game in that fight.

              mosley can do it several ways, but the way he needs to not do is counterpunch with floyd... if he waits on floyd he will get beat to the shot.

                I know you're a huge Floyd fan and predicting a wide UD but from the other side if you had to come up with a gameplan for SSM what would it be?

                Agree Pull, nobody is going to beat Mayweather at his own game. You can't adjust to him, he always adjusts to you. Mosley has to bring the heat early and tire Mayweather out. One of Mayweather's biggest strengths is his ability to conserve energy and look just as sharp at the end of fights as he does at the start of them.

                  Being physical with Mayweather is nothing new. I think alot of people have tried that method. I question Mosley footwork for 12 rounds to effectively deal with Mayweather. I think both fights will do something different from round to round to mix it up.

                    So do I which is why I think he should bully him and try to tire him out. That way he can just sit on his punches in the later rounds and not worry so much about his feet since May will be tired. It's important to not let May rest on the ropes either. Though, you're right this method has been tried before and failed I was just thinking since Mosley was a better athlete than May's other opponents and had a better chin that it might be effective.

                      That is his biggest attribute, his ability to think in the ring. I don't think that will work.
