    I always thought that Shane was the one fighter who had all the intangibles to beat Floyd. But after watching the two square off, I don't believe that any version of Shane could have beat that version of Floyd. But I think a prime Shane would have beaten a lesser seasoned Floyd.

      He was an almost 39 year old fighter who fought Floyd.. He still had speed but not the speed to contend witha younger faster fighter. If he was at least 33 years old duriing there fight. That flush right he threw that buckled Floyd would have been the catalyst for a follow through of barrage of punches from a prime Mosely. Sadly, he was really a 38 year old prune. SO yes a Floyd who fights once a year and an unseasoned floyd would truly get ****ed up good by a 33 year old Mosely.

        I really think Mosley wins at lightweight.But even the Mosley that fought Cotto might not even win.Its a hard fight..

          50/50, Mayweather decision or Mosley KO, you'd imagine a prime Shane being faster, stronger and fitter.
          Yup it could go either way. Just shows there in the same league. 50/50 as this poll is showing.
