Floyd-Shane - who wins? (poll)

I hope Shane does it but he is old for a fighter and probably past his best, Floyd on the other hand is in his prime physically and also in experience wise too, its such a shame we have had to wait for this fight for so long, the only hope is the Nazim factor, he is a trainer who I rate in extremely high regard, if there is a chink in Floyds armour that Shane can exploit Mr Richardson hopefully has spotted it. I am voting for a Floyd win but hoping that Shane can somehow pull it off

I'm actually in a different boat to most. I want Floyd to win, but I just have a sneaking gut feeling that Shane will pull it out late. I also think this will be a great fight, I think it's a genuine 50-50 encounter & I think that Mayweather's 0 is a big reason that he's getting such heavy favouritism.

Anyway, I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I just feel Shane is going to pull it out, possibly with a late stoppage.

I just really feel that most of this hype is generated off mosely's win over margarito. Take that fight out of the picture and i doubt most would even give mosely a chance. If winky's D was too much for shane then how will he fare against one of the best defensive fighters in the sport. If it took shane 12 to stop mayorga who is probably one of the easiest guys to hit in the sport then how will one punch take out floyd if he can even land that one punch in the first place. Now if floyd has been training all these weeks knowing he's going to load his gloves and has them taken away right before the fight then i'll give shane a better shot. But i see no advantages shane has over floyd. Mayweather has fought and beat, taller, stronger, smarter and in zab guys that are just as fast as he is. Mosley said himself that his speed is what will make the difference. Really like the way it did cotto ?? If anything cotto damn near looked as fast as shane at times and had very little problems adapting to shanes speed. Floyd loosing would be the post fight interview i've waited to see for years......but i give little to no chance of seeing it this weekend.

I don't think Winky Wright's defense gave Shane Mosley the problems, it was his jab and size. He was physically quite a bit bigger, and Shane Mosley struggles against good jabbers as you well know.
