At 135 Floyd was much more willing to fight, though I do believe it would have been a dangerous fight for Floyd. He would have out pointed Shane, Vernon Forrest speed caused Shane problems and Floyd would have caused the same problems!
You are wrong, Forrest had only average speed. What happened i that first fight was that Forrest had a powerful and accurate long jab, and also a very solid right hand which Mosley didn't seem to know how to protect against. He was wide open for it the whole fight, and i remember it distinctly as being the first time I noticed this Mosely weakness. The second fight could have been a draw.
As for a Mayweather fight, Mosley was unbeatable at 135, and not only that, he was devastating, and went for the jugular every second of every fight. He had 9-10 title fights and won by a big KO each time, except, I think against Holiday when he won the title. I believe that Mayweather would do his usual running game with occasional brilliant combinations when he was sure he wouldn't get hit.

It wasn't Vernon's speed that caused the problems, it was his height and reach. Shane said it himself.
At 135, Shane was just as fast and quick as Floyd with dynamite in both hands. He also had stamina out of this world. I think Shane would not only catch him with that big right hand, but put him to sleep with that killer left hook. Floyd was much more aggressive back then. He would open up more. He would eventually get caught with something big. And back then, if Shane gets u hurt, he would finish you.

A solid right cross, that Floyd also has in his arsenal! If not much quicker, stronger, and re well placed!
