    Default You heard it here first, Mosley will beat Floyd

    Shane Mosley WILL BEAT Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    Shane's smart, he's strong, he has very quick hands, he's not killing himself to make weight, and Floyd can't hurt him.

    I think Floyd has been apprehensive about fighting a couple guys at 147 and rightfully so in some cases: Cotto, Williams, Margarito, Shane Mosley, and Pacquiao. Now of course the Floyd fans will say Floyd has little left to prove and those fights didn't make sense etc etc but Floyd's record speaks for itself he never once said "Give me Cotto and I'll beat him" or "Give me Williams and I'll beat him" he simply waited until they lost and said "See, they weren't worthy of a shot vs me" and it doesn't make sense for Floyd not to fight when the money is to his liking. If he was truly "Money Mayweather" he would have fought at least 3 of those guys because you cannot tell me that ANY of those fights wouldn't have made HUGE money at the gate and on PPV.

    Stylistically Floyd has very little to offer Shane, the guys who have beaten Shane either use their height and reach (Forrest & Wright) or are durable enough to trade with Shane and get the better of him (Miguel Cotto and to a lesser extent De la Hoya in the rematch was able to hang with him). Floyd has great defense but he isn't as effective until he gets a fighter to tire themself out, vs Judah and Hatton he allowed them to do work early and chase him around the ring while he pot shotted them for at least half the fight knowing especially that Zab would have 0 to offer him later in the fight and that's when Floyd turned it on....Shane doesn't have much in the defense department but he's strong and he's got fast DANGEROUS hands and he's going to beat Floyd.

    I HOPE Pac loses as well but Clottey isn't going to do it. Pacquiao and Floyd not making that fight have totally sapped boxing's momentum and it was building big time over 2009.

    Shane will be around 38 and 8 months old with 15 1/2 months of inactivity when they get into the ring. True, more than likely Floyd doesn't hurt Shane, but Floyd's style of fighting isn't about hurting guys, it's more outboxing guys. Floyd didn't hurt Oscar once in their fight, but yet he decisively outbox Oscar and took the win.

    And also Shane doesn't have his Balco drugs like the clear, cream, and EPO to boost his strength, speed, and stamina.

    Floyd wins 8-4, but people will think it's a close fight with Shane being aggressive and trying to pressure Floyd and throwing punches that are meaningless and not connecting.

    Hope Lyle is right about the fight but I got a feeling that Floyd is going to be just to sharp and Mosley is going to find it hard to land any decent shots.

    That is fighting talk, Lyle...and I like it.

    Seriously, fingers crossed. I hope he batters Floyd like we've never seen before. Floyd is no spring chicken now either with his own massive layoff inbetween fighting a wonderful lightweight in Marquez. Mosley needs to get it all right, but if anyone right now has it in him to make Floyd go through heaven and hell and make sure he resides in hell....it might well be Mosley.

    I defnitely see Mosley as a harder fight for PBF than Pac would have been and for years I have been saying that Mosley is the man to beat Floyd. But I think the fight has probably come too late now and see Floyd winning a narrow decision

    Shane has one more advantage that Hatton, Marquez, and Oscar didn't have:

    In order for Mosley to win he has to bring the fight to Mayweather. Otherwise, Floyd will just dance around him and outbox him. Unfortunately, age and inactivity will be working against Shane.

    Lyle i have already said in a previous post , that Shane will win and be the first to drop and hurt Mayweather.

    Floyd knocked himself down in his fight with Hernandez. He hit Hernandez and took a knee or something like that grabbing his wrist. Been a long time since I watched that fight.
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    - and I quote from some random guy on the internet

    I hope others agree with you two to keep the odds down.

    Barring a 10 second mental lapse by mayweather where he does not move or defend himself I cant see Shane landing anything that will put Floyd down.

    I see Shane chasing floyd all night, maybe taking a few rounds due to being aggressive (but ineffective).

    I like Mosley, but when he can't side down on his punches and swing with his eyes shut his power drops by 50%

    Floyd has already been hurt and dropped. He took a count vs Hernandez. He was floored by Judah but a count wasnt given. He was hurt by Corley and he was almost floored by Hatton in the 1st . Mosley is alot better than those guys.

    Only doubt I have about Shane is that he was out boxed by Cotto who is not known for his silky boxing skills. Shane also tends to load up his punches if he runs out of ideas and tries to take people out with one shot.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
