F.Mayweather Vs S.Mosley

[CountryBoy]

I say Mayweather by Decision.

[Taeth]

Me too... Mosley has lost the speed needed to stand a chance with Mayweather, but even if he had the speed I've been watching his fight with Jesse James Leija and he just fights stupid... or really awkward, and Mayweather would have afield day with any version of Mosley if he fought like he did against COrrales.

Didn't shane stop leija? Wasn't that a one sided beat down?

[cockey cockney]

Me three. Both at there best at LW Shane wins though IMO, but Floyd is better atm no doubt about it. Beating Vargas doesnt say he can beat Mayweather to me.

[El Kabong]

Shane's fast, he has agood chin...good enough to take Oscar's best shots and not get too hurt.

Shane can either box or brawl and he has good power....he's tough for ANYONE especially if the guy in question is not a tall boxer with a good jab and good defense

I thought you were not the biggest Mosley fan Lyle?

[killersheep]

I think Mosley, stamina permitting will be able to actually outpoint PBF (I said it and admit it)
I also think PBF's defense is too solid for him to actually get hurt, So I went with Mosley UD

Mayweather UD. Even at his prime, I don't think Mosely was as fast as Floyd is--and he definitely isn't now. He looked better than he had in a while against the walking-punching-bag version of Vargas he was in there against in the last fight, but he had looked considerably off of his prime for a few fights leading up to that one--for one thing, he'd replaced his fast combinations with single shots. Even if he regains some speed at 147 and throw the old combos like he did against Vargas in their second fight though, I think that'll just leave him open to getting painted with counters all night. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this would be an easy fight for Floyd, but I'd bet on him taking 8 of 12 rounds.

I agree. Only reason anyone is talkin about Shane Mosley is because he looked so good against a finished Vargas. And in the second fight Vargas appeared to have no energy in him whatsoever (probably from trying so hard to make weight). Mayweather would destroy him on points. I bet this would be a really entertaining fight though for about the first five rounds...after that Mayweather would build a steady lead and take the decision...

The wins over Vargas has nothing to do it, it's his demolition of Magarito, KO of Mayorga and dominant win over Collazo that have got people excited.

Even in his loss to Cotto ( a prime Cotto we should add before Margarito's handwraps destroyed him) he had Cotto backing off the last few rounds.

You have to favour Mayweather of course but Mosely is a significant challenge.

He's got a great chin, has never been stopped, has the power to take any fighter out and the will and heart to give his all.

He's older, and a little slower now and I think it's going to require a bit of luck, but he represents the biggest threat to Floyd since Oscar at 154, and is easily his biggest ever threat as a welterweight.

Should be a great fight, Mosely is not the type of fighter you can just count out against anybody, although I too believe Mayweather will likely prevail.

No the reason is, that Mosley has phenomenal experience and would be closer to his natural weight. He hasn't always won, but he's been in against some incredible talent. Winky, ODLH, Vargas. His ability to rough up floyd early and box him late gives him the best chance IMO. by no means do I think that this would be a blow-out though.

MAyweather by decision for me.



Hmmmm. I'm wondering if Mayweather asked for an olympic drug testing on Shane who's known to be a droid user.


He should be asking for that or else it might be construed that he was just afraid to fight manny.

I've been away from this forum so I currently don't know any boxing news.

Not a blow out, i think it would be close for half the fight. After that I think Mayweather would start taking rounds and being the more active fighter as I have seen a tendency for Mosley to start gassin out in the later rounds (such as in his first fight with Vargas).
