Who's Going To Win The Mayweather-Mosley Superfight?

by Ja Dawson the Contributor

Mayweather by decision. Mayweather by knockout. Mosley by decision. Mosley by knockout. Draw vote to see results On May 1, 2010, Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr. (40-0, 25 KOs) and "Sugar" Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) battle for welterweight supremacy. But more importantly, they are battling for a chance at a mega-fight against Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs).

To the winner goes the spoils.

Who's going win? I'm predicting a Floyd Mayweather by unanimous decision victory based on the factors listed below.



Locale

Las Vegas, NV may be Mayweather's adopted hometown, but Sugar Shane is the west coast's most popular boxer now that Oscar De La Hoya is retired.

Even



Hand Speed

Mosley has fast hands but Mayweather has lightning-fast hands.
Advantage Mayweather



Ring Generalship

Now that Bernard Hopkins appears to have fallen off the cliff and Juan Manuel Marquez is on the decline, there is no debating that "Money" is the sport's best ring technician.
Advantage Mayweather



Competition

Early in each fighter's career their resumes were very comparable. Most recently, it's no contest.

Advantage Mosley



Power

Don't sleep on Mayweather's sneaky power. If you do, you may be put to sleep. That being said, Mosley is still the more powerful puncher.
Advantage Mosley



Conditioning

I'll never forget the time when I caught an early flight out of Las Vegas several years ago, only to see Mayweather doing road work before the crack of down. Beneath the flashy exterior is a true gym rat.

Advantage Mayweather



Chin

Floyd has never been seriously hurt in the ring, but is that a function of his great defense and/or his lack of competition of late? No matter, Mosley has one of the best chins in the business. Period.

Advantage Mosley



Footwork

One man (Mayweather) was on Dancing with the Stars. The other man (Mosley) gave up his dancing shows a long time ago.
Advantage Mayweather



Size/Strength

Mosley is arguably the strongest fighter in the welterweight division. Just ask the division's former strongman, the disgraced Antonio Margarito.
Advantage Mosley



Defense

Sugar Shane's offense is his defense. Money Mayweather's defense is the best in the business.

Advantage Mayweather



Look for Floyd Mayweather to utilize his key advantages in hand speed, ring generalship, and defense to out-slick Shane Mosley over 12 brisk rounds in a few weeks

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Who am I picking?

I see Floyd starting off with a jab to the body an head over and over because Shanes weakness is a goodjab and hes not skilled enouh to time them. Dont believe me watch the Cotto fight. Cottos jab owned Mosley and kept him at bay and uncomfortable. Floyd does not lead with his jab alot but against Shane as WE ALL KNOW Shane struggles with jabs and Mayweather has a good one.

I see Shane getting hit with that jab to the stomach and getting circled Constantly by Floyd who will not stop moving in this fight. Floyd has the footspeed to dart in and out on Shane and get off punches. I see shane having to sell out to get again and thats when I see him him tryng to bull rush Floyd on the insde during the clinches alot.

Mayweather Like I said will make himself a damn near immpossible target to hit by his constant circling and movement. After a few arounds Floyds lead right will start to connect and along with a jab that is the punch that Shane has no defense for. I tink the handspeed edge goes to Mayweather IMO. Shane is fast but I believe in the Cotto fight...Cotto was as fast or faster.

Mayweather will be circling, pot shotting darting in and out and using the shoulder roll which basically gives righties a slim chance to land anything big. Shane will have his moments but they will be few and far between I see him throwing and the crowd cheering but they wont be landing effectively. Shane is a very wide puncher when he wants to be and after he realizes hes down on the cards hell look for ONE shot and then my friends thats where this fight wil get UGLY for Shane, because Floyd will tag his ass non stop and might even drop Shane a few times. No not because of power but because Floyds accuracy, speed, shanes aggresiveness, his wild swinging and the fact that he punches with his eye close. The punches that hurt are the ones you dont see and they can pout you on your ass.

Shane has a real dislike for Floyd but he respects him. In the ring I think Shane will be looking for that ONE punch that never happens as Floyd turns his face to a pinata.


Mayweather UD or late corner or ref stoppage. (Too many punches wil land Flush on Shane)

Shane will win!!!

inactivity could help an old man.......also mosely is a "young" old man and notorious gym rat. He also had an almost full camp for Berto.

Let's also not forget Floyd has been more inactive than Shane....so i don't think being inactive can be an excuse for either guy if they lose.

Good points. Plus, first real welter Floyd has fought in four years. Best welter he's ever fought. Strongest welter. Craftiest. On and on.

Yeah I hate that excuse.

In the past 2 years Floyd has boxed 12 rounds against a fat lightweight.

Shane has boxed 44 rounds vs. WW's and JMW's.

Now Id love to see how Floyd gets no credit.
