Everyone knows Shane is old and clearly not his 100% brilliant best anymore, but he is still rated P4P no.3, is still clearly a formidable opponent and is the best welterweight Floyd has ever faced.
So whoever wins deserves credit.
Put your money where your mouth is - vote!!!
Mayweather points. It`ll be a great old back and forth and it`ll no doubt lead to many calling for a rematch completely killing off any chance we have of seeing pacquiao do a number on floyd
Mayweather.
116-111 ish.

Why am i not as pumped for this fight as i though i'd be ??? I need to get in the festive spirit of May One.
Floyd probably takes this one. I just REEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAALY want Mosley to knock this guy OUT.
I can't even imagine Floyd knocked out cold. It would be like watching Jesus turn water into wine.
LMAO...... Thats a bang on statement, couldn't have said it better myself without alot of thought...Quote:

Ya Shane is old, but everyone out works Floyd in the ring so why should Shane be any different? Floyd always wants to prove that he is the technical master in the ring, I don't see him having a different approach in this fight. I just can't see Floyd doing enough damage to stop Shane from walking him down. Mayweather can't control the pace of the fight with his pot shots maintaining a distance outside and he can't overpower Mosley with his size. It'll be the same shit that happened with Dela Hoya, only Mosley will hit him now and then.

My favourite being shane catching floyd right on that magical part of the temple in the very 1st round and floyd being stretchered out of the arena ;D;D;D
Im not getting excited about this cause this is going to be another Floyd Show case.....this is not going to be close and I can see Mosley getting stopped or retiring around the 10th...I don't know why people are talking about it so much cause Mosley is well over the hill and this is not going to be anything like people would like it to be. Hear it first "You all will be disappointed because this is going to be a shut out for PBF".
Job Biscuit (Another fight that should have happened years ago)!!!
eh eh!!!
That's what I think. But it's still a must watch fight.Quote:

Awesome fight though, we are having a great run as fans lately. :cool:
So marquez did actually land a punch during the fight......i look at the fight the same way just in a different perspective. If mayorga, v forrest (twice), winky (twice), cotto, and collazo can give shane problems then floyd sure a hell will. This fight will be boring imo. Floyd will beat him easy. Very very true statement above, it does only take one, but it's the hundred or so potshots floyd will land in return that that will give him the easy decision. I'm not so quick to look at the past weight differences in this fight. No one shed a tear watching pac beat a weight drained oscar (who floyd fought at 154), nor the win he got against cotto who was dropped down to 145 as well. I'm curious to see what is said after this fight with shane who we all know pac avoided all together no matter how much shane pleaded to make it happen.Quote:

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that Cotto only gave Mosley problems becuase Mosley was set on knocking Cotto 'the brawler' out with one punch....
When he met Cotto 'the boxer' he came completely unstuck.
Not to say that he can't always deal with that style.
You could see Cotto was just beginning to wilt under Mosley's pressure... In the same back peddling way as shown in all of Cotto's proceeding fights.
So yeah IMO it's not so black and white. Mosley needs to get his estimation of, and preparation for Mayweather absolutely spot on.
The less surprises, the better.
l be proved wrong , but im going with my gut instinct , and saying Shane floors and beats Mayweather .
True story. I had a dream last night that Shane floored Mayweather twice and Mayweather still won on points.Quote:

....look guys, i would love to see floyd loose as much as the next guy. Hell i think it's be great if pac and floyd both loss thier next fights just so we could move on to the million other boxers out there who could put on just as good if not a better fight than those two. 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.
Well, there's a reason why the poll is 18 to 7. Most people, I'm sure, want to see Floyd go down in flames but we have enough respect to see it in a fairly unbias manner... and can say that regardless of for what reason, Floyd is the superior fighter at this point in both of their careers. Some people are being sold by the 24/7s like HBO tends to do, to make it look they're on even ground... When in all actuality, they're not. I want Mosley to KO Floyd but it's not gonna happen.
I am sure I voted HTH is a joey before, but think, hope and pray that Shane wins.
To be honest dude, he is at full stretch and short of landing fully but I get what you are saying. If this was a Pac/Floyd fight I'd be fucking way more excited. Floyd will be on his bike or hold when Shane goes to work, landing odd pot shots along the way.Quote:

Floyd by points.
That's what hgh does to your head. The same thing happened to Barry Bonds whose head is now so big it's almost Vitali Klitschkoesque.Quote:

The long inactivity hurts Shane a lot more now, now that he is up there in age, boxingwise. He still packs power, for it is the skill that pugilist's lose last, so a puncher's chance, he's got.
However, I see the leg factor playing more of a major part in this fight's outcome, for it will not be a toe to toe, slambang affair all night, but rather a cat and mouse, who's the slicker, who's the wilier skilled for the night, fistfight.
That said, Floyd Jr. has too much of the goods stacked up against the old guy. He takes this "running away" by unanimous "D".
Score one for the BAD... ten rounds to two for Floyd Mayweather Jr. 118-110.
Its guna be 'sweet' dreams for Mayweather when sugar kicks his ass!:)
Indeed I did, so did two of the unofficial press-row judges (one of whom had the same score I did), but I qualified it by saying that I had watched the fight on a shitty stream and that I needed to see a decent version of it before I accurately scored it.Quote:

I would like to see Floyd spit blood,ribs get all busted up,a total face rearrangement so the next time we see him we can only say Damn Shane you are the man. Now what will probably happen. There will be a couple of close rounds scored for Shane but Floyd will just pull ahead too far in the end and leaving us sleeping on the couch only to wake up and see the post fight interview of him crying and saying how great a fighter Shane is.
Yup... Sad but true.Quote:
