I think one thing people aren't putting into the equation when talking Mayweather vs Mosley, and even Pacquiao vs Mayweather, is consistent punching. Floyd lets fighters sorta dictate the pace early on and then he adjusts. If you look at his past several fights, none of them really had a game plan to beat Floyd but to maul him. You'll never beat Floyd that way. Consistent punching will keep Floyd on the defensive a lot more than him being an effective counter puncher for 12 rounds.
For instance, A lot of us saw how Mosley beat Margarito and completely forgot what transpired prior to the KO. Mosley wasn't pressuring Margarito, he kept his distance and selected his shots and didn't waste any, a much bigger improvement from the Mayorga fight and even the Cotto fight. Now, you obviously can't compare neither to Floyd, but you have to look at what Mosley's capable of doing. He can brawl, but he also can box and be successful.
If I'm Mosley's trainer, I have Mosley throwing 70-80 punches a round, dig to the body, use your feet to not let Floyd set up and keep him on his toes. Use faints, and jab. To me, activity could be a key role in this fight. If Mosley is busy enough to where he's throwing a lot and landing with Floyd backing up and just getting counter punches off I believe Floyd's gonna have a tough time winning.Comment

I didn't even realize I throw so much green k at you. I was about to toss you some for this but apparently I can't.I think one thing people aren't putting into the equation when talking Mayweather vs Mosley, and even Pacquiao vs Mayweather, is consistent punching.

If this was a prime Mosley, I'd agree with all this. But since he didn't have the legs to cut off the ring against Cotto, he ain't gonna do the same to Mayweather. I agree with the amount of punches Shane would have to throw but at this point, Shane would only be able to manage that against a stationary opponent.I think one thing people aren't putting into the equation when talking Mayweather vs Mosley, and even Pacquiao vs Mayweather, is consistent punching.

Floyd didn't dominated Judah because Judah gassed he started breaking his ass down the second half of the third round. He started breaking him down because he measured and started timing him which he will do against mosley.Key difference:
Judah gasses and has the mental capacity of a 10 year old after 4 or 5 rounds. Thats when Floyd stalked him with his hands up. He does against Southpaws for a reason because the shoulder roll doesnt work against Leftiues. Vs. Shane who wouldnt be tired it wouldnt work IMO.Comment

Nobody can disagree with Zab being mentally weak at times I am not saying the man doesn't get tired either. But yall have to start giving people credit. PBF made Zab gas just as Cotto did. Zab has gone 10 & 12 rounds before so its not like he can't. Some fighter gas because of low stamina and sometimes they gas because of what the opponent is doing to them in the case of the PBF fight PBF made Zab gas.Key difference:

Not saying you in particular but people can't say on one hand Zab was dominating and just got tired for no reason. The three rounds Zab won it wasn't like he wasn't hit at all in those rounds even though Zab CLEARLY won those rounds.Comment
