    I could see a scenerio like that...

And, also even though Floyd beat Castillo clearly the second time. It was still competitive. And, Shane was way better than Castillo faster and more of a powerful puncher.


        he hit the body much better at 35......don't know why he stopped at 147....that always puzzled me

        i think SSM is faster and more powerful......but i don't think he would disrupt Mayweathers rythm like Castillo was able to do....

And, Floyd had two tought fights against Castillo at 135. And, Shane Mosley at that weight was light years better than both those guys. People really forget how beasty Shane was. And, Floyd threw a lot more at 135 so he had more openings to get hit. I

          s not an easy win for Floyd at all. Shane Mosley at 135 could possibly beat him. But, Floyd could easily win also.
          Yes, Mosley the 135 lb beast beat the legendary Golden Schlong and ATGs John Molina and Jesse James Leija. Oh, he UD'd Phillip Holliday as well.

          Mosley gets outboxed by the boat buyer at any weight.

              That could be true too... Castillo did by smart pressure, smothering, body punching, and infighting. His style is different from what Shane was at 135.

                Yea beasty 33-0 with 30KO's all title defenses ended in KO's. Beat top 10 LWs at the time. Yea beasty...

                Is it possible that weaksauce Shane could land just as much as lets say Agustus landed against Floyd? Is it also possible that Shane was faster and hit harder than Agustus at 135? Is it possible that Shane was a better body puncher and more explosive than Agustus was at 135? And, Floyd has said that is the toughest fight of his career right?

                Is it possible again that Shane was faster and stronger than Castillo was at 135? Is it possible that he had more power than Castillo at 135? If this 3 fights at 135 were 3 of Floyd toughest fights in his career. Could it be possible that Shane at 135 could beat him?

                Because, it seems to me like some people are judging the fight from what they saw from Shane at 147 and 154. At 135 he was a totally differenat animal. Just like how Floyd was totally different at 130 than what he is at 147.

                  at 135 lbs, it would be a great fight.

                      Shane fights nothing like those guys, he's not unorthodox like Augustus and his inside game is nowhere near Castillo's. Plus, Augustus had about 10 or so losses going in so it's possible he got underestimated by Team Mayweather.

                      At that point, Floyd would deliver in his biggest fights, just saying.
