Shane Mosley will be DOMINATED easily EVERY ROUND vs Mayweather
I don't like Mosley's chances a ton in this fight
His last fight was against a guy who would take shots to give shots (Margarito), and before that was against Ricardo Mayorga a guy who hits hard and has average boxing skill, and before that was a loss to Cotto, and before that were against Luis Collazo, and before that were fights against Fernando Vargas.
Now if you look at those wins and the loss, the wins all came against average at best boxers(in terms of boxing skill) except for the win over Collazo, and the loss to Cotto came when Cotto really outdid him. And the win over Mayorga came when Mayorga might have won the fight if the judges had given him a round more than he should have. Mayweather is MUCH better than that competition, so a loss is likely.
Maybe 10 years ago this fight would have been better for Mosley against a Young Green Mayweather, but this time against a battle tested refreshed Mayweather it is going to be a struggle for him to win.
People say that "Castillo laid the blueprint" but the blueprint Castillo layed out was "Hurt Floyd's shoulder in training" and then pressure the **** out of a one armed fighter who you outweigh by 10lbs all night and still lose a decision.
Many people are saying Shane needs to fight defensive, beat Floyd at his own game.
1. Shane isn't a pure boxer, so he can't beat Floyd at his own game. Shane is a great fighter and he is great because he fights his own way same with any other great fighter. Once they are forced to take on a different style they lose some of there greatness. So 2 great fighters fighting, and one of them has to fight the other one's game, they are at a huge disadvantage.
2. Floyd holds the psychological edge here. He is world recognized as the "best pure boxer" in the sport. I don't care how confident a fighter like Shane is. If he goes in there trying to box him and even if the fight is even, him and everyone else is already biased to think that Floyd is winning the fight because it's going at HIS pace, and "how can he possibly be getting 'outboxed'" If this happens for a few rounds, it's Shane that will break and panic, not floyd.
