    No he won't.

      Stop bringing up Cotto as a reason Mosley will lose this fight, that fight is completely irrelevant.
      The Cotto jab in that fight can't be overlooked and ****m is not a miracle worker. It wasn't just that Cotto outboxed Mosley it's what he USED to outbox him. Whether Mayweather uses it successfully remains to be seen but you can't ignore the fact that the possibilities exist. And regardless of what anybody thinks, Mosley is going to have to respect Mayweather's power. That doesn't mean that Mayweather is going to knock him out but he has enough power to keep Mosley from getting reckless.

        That has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read here.

          This is an easy fight to pick imo. Shane has lost to winky, forrest, and cotto all three of them just boxed him to a UD. And floyd is a boxer, what do you think is going to happen?

          Well shane still has a "punchers chance"

            Cotto was able to outbox Shane. Now we all Floyd is 10 times the "boxer" Cotto is. Floyd talks hella **** about this and that but when he gets in the ring he transforms into a intelligent and tactful fighter.

            The fight will probably go something like this.. Mosley has aged, he's slowed down in all aspects as a fighter other than power. He knows it, Naazim knows it. With that being said I hope to God their gameplan wouldnt be to outbox Floyd. He'll come out trying to make it a slugfest for the 1st half of the fight.. which Floyd wont bite. He'll pick his shots and outbox Shane to a UD decision.

            If you u think different feel free to put some points on it.
            i tell you what i agree with youmone may has skills and is a pure talent

              This should answer the TS question.

That is called ring generalship and even Mosely commented in the post fight interview that the kid can box, which caught him by surprise. Besides, you shouldn't put too much stock in Compubox because it is not as accurate as you'd think.

                I think you are confused. The shoulder roll defense is not effective against southpaws, but is was made to defend especially against right hand fighters.

                Shane is not faster than Floyd. He's a step or two behind Floyd. If Cotto was able to beat Shane to the punch, Floyd most definitely will too.
                thank you.......

                  So landing more power punches than the other guy and closing the fight out stronger equals getting outboxed?
