Shane has to be more durable obviously hits harder, throws punches together, but Floyd moves so much more fluidly. Floyd is a natural in the ring, Mosley is a guy who needs to work at it in the ring, thats why Floyd is so graceful. IMO you have to be tall and a good boxer, or move well and counter punch effectively, there because Mosley fights a little choppy there are spots if you time him exceptionally well to hit him. That why Cotto could land at will on Mosley with his left hook, with his jab, with his cross. The reason why Pacquiao IMO is more dangerous is he has all that speed, he might not have the most power in the world anymore at WW, but he still has that sneaky power that hurt you, but more importantly he will hit you at odd times when your not expecting, you will think his attack is over only to have him land an awkward, hard punch. Mosley doesn't do that, if you are fast enough he is a perfectly conventional fighter, and Mayweather will see everything coming, either keep his distance to limit Mosley's combinations and tie Shane up on the inside, or he block Mosley's punches of his elbows and arms, and counter effectively once he learns Mosley's rhythm, and Mosley has very set rhythm that he doesn't change up a whole lot. Thats why he had such big problems with Wright and Forrest, he can't adapt well in the fight. While Floyd is great at adapting in the fight. I am not saying Floyd wins for sure, Mosley is too good for that shit, but I think he wins a competitive fight more often than not.
