This is the biggest fight in boxing .Forget about Oscar - Floyd
It could go either way when boxings elite finest go at it .
I think this is bigger than De la hoya v Mayweather end of the day shane has beat oscar twice oscar had one good night after a lay off against mayorga and everyones wow oscars back but Tito ko'd mayorga too and they said same about him then winky totaly out boxes him and he retires again could this be the case with oscar are we getting drawn into the hype of it all.
My opinion on Mosely is that he WAS awesome - up to the first DLH fight. but since then he hasn't impressed me and for the most part has been pretty awful. Lost the 2nd DLH fight no doubt in my mind and then 4 other defeats!!
Admitedly he has looked better in his last ouple of fights back at 147, but I think Floyd would beat him.
I think Mosely is still the toughest fight for Floyd (along with Cotto) but I see Floyd wiinning
I also see Floyd beating DLH by complete shut out!!
....and I can't stand the bloke ;D
If both in their primes, that would be a really hard one to call.
Right now, I think Floyd has it. Mosley isn't as quick as he used to be.
Everything that could theoretically beat Mayweather, Mosley has it.
Handspeed, punch output, workrate, good chin.
Toughest fight for Mayweather out there right now.
I still say Floyd wins on a really close decision, but damn it won't be easy.
It would be good to see this fight after the De la hoya fight if Floyd wins
i like mosley split
good match up
i think perhaps a slight edge in speed is all floyd has in his favour for this fight. his defence wont be enough and like i've said before mosley has much bigger balls than floyd and i think will pick up a decision. floyd may beat shane to the jab a few times but i dont think it will be enough and wouldnt trouble shane. i would really lean towards mosley in this fight.
Can't see Mosley losing to a fighter that is smaller than him. He has only had trouble against bigger and taller fighters. Mosley by ud.
Mosley is too flat footed at this stage in his career and his jab would need be stronger,more authoritative. Also,he does have a few technical deficiencies which were not so obvious when he was BLINDINGLY fast at 135 but show up mire now. EG his defence. As great as he looked against Collazo,he got cracked with quite few left hands and was circling IN to Luis' left hand rather than away. Floyd would exploit these weaknesses. However,Mosley hand speed and power would still make it a great fight! Mayweather UD for me though.
PBF will frustrate Mosley...After watching Winky dominate him,I'm not ready to give him the edge.I'd like to see Mosley beat Cotto or Hatton to convince me.
I agree totally. PBF pulls it out but SSM is a great fighter.Quote:

PBF, styles make fights. SSM throws his punches the way that PBF would like em, wide and easy to see coming.
I like Mosely for his speed in combinations, but he leaves himself open asking for the other guy to jump on him. He also overcommits his shots, and gets caught off balance a perfect target for a sharp counter puncher.
I think SSM could take Zab, and a couple of the names out there but I can't see him beat Floyd unless his constant pressure and fast pace can upset Floyd's rhythem.
I think you are right about Zab being beaten by Shane. Not that Shane is so good, but the chin of Zab does not seem too great and that makes him hold back and that is his problem. Shane would win a decision.
Zab Judah isn't much of a presense any more, it's like Mike Tyson, he's not the same force these days but people want that notch under their belts. Just like those fun pictures where a champ is layng on the floor and the fan who's lucky to get their picture taken is standing over him.
Can't really say ill have to wait and see how Mayweather deals with Oscar but from what i've seen from both fighters at moment i would say he would give Mayweather all he could handle
i agree this will be better than oscar
but if they fight i think shane will start slow and floyd will take advantage of that
Prime- SSM almost as fast..better all around
now- PBF...I have not been impressed with SSM in quite some time
Shane
i will give it to floyd by decision
DLH is done. Mosley is almost done. Mayorga was always done. Floyd was never done but I wish he were because I am not a fan. Hopkins was dead but had a special meeting with the lord our savior and was granted a reprieve.
BY the way, Mosleys fights, at least the more recent bouts should be stricken from the record books for his friendship with Balco. Especially the fight with DLH. DLH should be 2-0 over Mosley.
DLH had to fight two juiced up opponents in Mosley and Vargas. Though I am a fan of DLH, he always seemed to be fighting to protect his beautiful face.

Mayweather wont he will have a straight controlling jab in his face before even moves and he'll be out on the angle hitting first.
:smilie_whisper: Hope we are both wrong.
