Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley Will Beat Mayweather Jr, Says Pacquiao

[Rome-By-Ko]

I don't think Floyd has won 40 pro fights, inlcuding countless world title fights, just by 'rolling his shoulder and pot shotting'. I don't wanna get involoved in all that ******* and ***** bull**** that goes on on this site, I respect Pacquaio as a fighter, but I think its ignorant when people say Mayweather hasn't been tested yet, or he just defends all the time, or he's a coward etc. Like he says, 40 have tried to beat him, and they all failed, many of them top quality champions and contenders. He's had to deal with just about every style around, speed, boxers, punchers, brawlers, everything, and he's beat them all. Obviously he's doing something right.

So do you really feel Floyd has fought guy's on his same level?If you do name me a fighter you truely believe that.What fighter's would beat Mosley that May fought?Oh and dude I like May I follow the man's career since the bigginning and don't take anything away from his talent.

Very true but Floyd likes to fight going backwards until he solves the puzzle. I think he only comes forward mostly when he is setting traps or knows how the other fighter is going to react to him. I WANT to see Kid Wonder tested like never before and this is the guy to do it!

I agree Mayweather fight's good going backward's.But the one thing I feel like is being over look here is Moses boxing ability.If Moses can score some(which I feel he will)and make May come to him that might change the dynamic's a bit in this fight.May is a very smart fighter who get's use to what you are doing in the ring.When May get's use to Moses what will Moses do?That's the real question.

Mosley had no intentions on throwing anything other than powershots. It makes perfect since.. Cotto jabebed his head off, and mosley tried to knock him out every punch of the fight. He and the rest of the world knows if u punch cotto in the face hard enuff he'll quit or run. And that was mosleys strategy, and it didn't work.

Dude he landed just as many reg shot's.When you watch that fight again you will see the crowd chanting Moses name cause Cotto did want to exchange anymore which for him was un heard of at the time NO?Even in that fight with no trainer Mosley was able to change his fighting style.Once he seen Cotto was more or less trying to pop-shot him which at that time Cotto was not known for doing he became more of a boxer then the brawling sugar we seen in early rd's.No?I just feel People sleep on Moses boxing ability. WHY.

Mosley has to be able to score from the get go.. he can't allow the phuken chicken to turn into Carl Lewis for 12 rounds. Effective pressure like Castillo did it in their 1st fight.. That's all it takes. Gayweather will fold under pressure. Just don't know if Mosley at this age and not being so active will still have it.

To say Maywesther will 'fold under pressure' is ****ing ******ed. What planet are you on?? You clearly know nothing. Mayweather is the coolest fighter under pressure in the world, and not many in the history of boxing stayed as calm and calculating under attack as him. He has nerves of steel in the ring. That's one of the major reasons he's as good as he is. If 'all it takes' to beat him is pressure him, why has no one managed it in 40 fights?? Like he says - THERE IS NO BLUEPRINT TO BEAT HIM. I'm pretty certain Mosely, good as he is, will not come up with it either.

Dude, i really don't wanna get involved in this debate, because it can go on forever. I understand you're a big Moseley fan, and you think he is capable of beating Floyds. Fair enough, your entitled to your view, like I'm entitled to mine. I'm not gonna start producing names from May's resume who I think could beat Shane, because i don't think there's much point in that. i understand the argument that Mosely has fough better welterweights than May, as he has. May has fought top quality opposition from super feather, all the way thru the weights tho, so I don't agree that he has never been tested, and Mosely is gonna bring something totally different to what May's seen before. I think Shane is a top quality fighter and I respect him, but like I've said in my other post about May, I think he's already had to deal with just about every style there is, and prevailed, just not at 147. Bottom line is, I think Mayweather will beat Mosely. I'll also ask you a question. Do you think Vernon Forrest, Cotto and Winky would all beat Mayweather?? Because I definately don't.

Speaking with the Manila Bulletin, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao picked Shane Mosley to upset Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao thinks Mayweather is too defensive to win rounds against Mosley. The Filipino champ says Mosley's punch output will beat Mayweather's defensive style. [Click Here To Read More]

Mayweather is "too defensive" in all his fights but he manage to win. I just think Mayweather will be too quick even for Mosley.

He would move away or circle him but give him movement.When Marga's was ready to attack Moses would go into his arm's and take Marga's long left hook away.But make no mistake Margas was coming foward in that fight.

I'm sure of that. He doesn't fight any other way and he can't. That's why I believe this fight with Mayweather is a completely different situation for Mosley. Mayweather is NOT going to be the same as Margarito whether he's going foward or not.

If mosley hasnt faded considerably in the past year, he will give mayweather all he can handle. Tactically and strategically he will be prepared. His physical tools and experience, in combination, should be enough to make this a very competitive fight.
