    Say what you want...explain away...do what you feel you need to do...but there are people out there who believe Mosley will win.

    Beyond that, the reason Mayweather is going to win is because he's better. Not because he's faster (which he probably isn't) or because he's been more active (over the last three years he really hasn't been). A lot of people who really should know better make every excuse in the book for why Mayweather wins and usually dominates. The real reason is because he's the best.

    People, like most boxing writers, want to believe Mosley or Pacquiao are better...doesn't make it true. They can unanimously vote Pacquiao fighter of the decade...doesn't make it true. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

      its the truth. 49% want mosley to win. most people know mosley is the underdog.

      floyd ain't dominating mosley, that's for damn sure.

      pac is FOTD. this is universal truth and fact. only *****s cry about it.

        Exactly. TS is a moron and all those polls are a bunch of crap. The vast majority of boxing "experts" and the oddsmakes are HEAVILY favoring Floyd.

          Mosley has ko power, coming off a good win against Tony.

          Floyd couldn't even finish off Marquez..
          his last 3 fights have been against a superfeatherwight/lightweight fighter.jmm
          a jnr welterweight fighter hatton
          light middle fighter who was towards the end of his career..oscar

          he is missing the big fights at welterweight.

          compare that to shane,
          he's fought tony who is a big welter and ko'ed him.
          mayorga who is a super welter.ko'ed him., ! mayorga has a decent chin too.

          cotto, close fight.

          collazo, wide UD

          Vargas who is a superwelter. ko'ed him twice..

          faced forrrest and wright.both gifted super welterweight fighters.
          close fight in the 2nd forrest fight, and a close 1 with wright.
          Who has had more success?
          Yea Shane Ko'ed Margarito who was a walking punching bag...
          Ko'ed Mayorga who is also a walking punching bag and he STRUGGLED with him.
          Cotto whopped Mosley imo.
          Wide UD on Collazo sure but we are talking about Collazo who struggled with Hatton....
          Beat a shot to **** Vargas....
          Got his ass whopped by Forrest and Winky..... Come on man....

            c'mon guys these numbers are so fake it should be obvious. No need to discuss further.

            lol, those number are FAKE they are rigged. It's been 51% to 49% since the very beginning, it's never changed. It goes with the whole "who r u picking?" marketing of the fight, to make it seem like it's such a toss up.

              and he comes across so hateable.
              Particularly in this 24.7, he has gone to another new level of arrogance .You just want to hate the guy.Not only that, but he is constantly talking **** about Mosley..what a ****.I hope he loses , he deserves to get KO'ED.
              wtf is up that?
              Oh I totally agree that I can't stand the way Floyd acts but on the otherhand I'm not ****** enough to let my heart rule my head and say Mosley will win cause there are so many reasons I can't see it turning out like. In fact I think Floyd will have looked at this fight andd
              have known (as always) that everything is stacked in his favour.(I' not suggesting it's similar to the Marquez fight, mearly that Floyd will have looked at Mosleys style, his movement, his age etc etc and will have fancied it) Yes he has power and speed but his little feet ain't going to get near Floyd. I wouldn't be surprised if Mosley looks so out of sorts that people may be questioning his retirement after the fight. (thats what my head says)

              On the point of how he acts it's a win win for Floyd. Boxing is a business, run your mouth and get maximum exposure, Floyd knows this. It's got to the point that there is so much hatred off Floyd or more acurately his alter ego "Money" that he's the ultimate bad guy, people will buy his fights in the hope that like yourself, he gets KO'd proper. I watch his fights for the same reason but with the added bonus that he is probably the best boxer of our generation so when he doesn't get beat I still have full love for the technical ability that he displays. He could well be one of the greatest of all time. For me the only question is who he has fought and he could potentially be 2 fights away from blowing that question out of the water.

              Being so disrespectful to his opponents will either have no effect or make the other so p*ssed they want to go in there and rip him up, which of course plays right into Floyds hands as a defensive master with unmatched reflexes an countering.

              I would take the "money" character with a pinch of salt, especially on 24/7, it's boxing drama rather than a true insight into Floyds lifestyle. God he's done so many of them now whats he going to say to them?? He spends the first 5 minutes of episode 3 talking about episode 2 and what Mosley had to say. I'd also add it's no surprise he's an ass in front of the camera when he's surrounded by 2 of the biggest d*ck heads in his father and Roger......
