Will ring rust be a factor for Floyd??

[Jim Jeffries]

Everyone is asking questions about ring rust for Mosley but Floyds only fight in the past 3 years has been against an undersized and overmatched light weight. So what about Floyd will ring rust be a factor in the fight of his life????....Lefty

No need to exxagerate Lefty. In the past 3 years, Floyd has fought DLH, Hatton and Marquez, putting in a total of 34 rounds. Over the same period, Shane also has 3 fights, putting in 33 rounds. Pretty even. Difference being Shane will not have been in the ring for almost a year and a half and is heading for 39, while Floyd put in 12 full rounds just 7 months ago.

No, Mayweather stays in shape all the time, and he'll have youth on his side, so even if he has a little rust, he'll shake it off fast during the fight.

Yep it was far to long for Mosley to wait.. but oh well i guess he got the mega fight he was after. I just don't see him winning a decision at all and think he will start of slow due to ring rust

My dude dont get it twisted Mosley is capable of stretching out Floyd in the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK poser that Ricky Hatton is famous for for sure. I don't think Mosley plans on winning a decision but if he wants to have a chance at beating Floyd he needs to force him to fight. That means taking the fight to him and trying to outwork him and bank some early rounds. If he can do that Floyd will have to open up some and that is when Shane will have his chance to get at that amour and chin. This is all depending on if Shane can with stand the pin point counter punching ability of Floyd and not get discouraged by those laser beam right hands and check left hooks to the body and head. Not get stimyed by the shoulder roll and the mini rope Floyd is going to pull like he did with Oscar. This is going to be a very competitive fight. Remember this one Lefty is a Mosley fan but I am not biased I know who the favorite is in this fight but I am still HOME TEAM BABY!!!!.....Lefty

I'm pretty sure it wont be competitive at all. It'll be an easy UD for Floyd. Sometimes people forget that Mosley lost to Cotto and struggled mightily with Ricardo ****ing Mayorga.

Bat you also thought that Kessler was going to best Ward quite easily sir. Truly I think it could go the way you are thinking if Mosley is not determined and doesn't press the action. He has to be willing to go out on his shield to win this fight. If he can with stand the right hands and not get frustrated he will make it competitive...I don't know what kind of wager we could muster up but I am willing to make some kind of a bet with you maybe on the scoring??....Lefty

This is my thought going into the fight but people like to make excuses before the fight even takes place. They called for Floyd to fight Mosley and now that its happening it is Mosley is old and rusty....Mosley is one of the TOP 3 WW in the world with geniune power in both hands. if Floyd beats him he deserves all the respect in the world. On the flipside if Mosley beats Floyd it does not mean Floyds been fighting a lack of competiton like most will say and that his 40-0 was a fluke either. This is what is supposed to happen when two of the best in the world at their craft go head to head It is a dangerous fight for both of them....Lefty

Totally agree....

Styles make fights though.

Ali got beat by Frazier (Fight #1)
Frazier got KO'd by Foreman
Ali KO'd Foreman

In comparison with Cotto, I think Floyd will be more apprehensive to get on the offensive with Mosley as where Cotto was an offensive minded fighter going into the fight. Two different styles you have to deal with.

Floyd wont have any issues with Shane whatsoever.
