Floyd-Shane - who wins? (poll)

[paddy448]

Mosley by close points descision

[Hornfinger]

Mayweather pisses it.

agreed.

[TheMacMagician]

Mayweather by WIDE UD, something like 118-110, 117-111, in a fight where he completely outclasses a befuddled Mosley. People instantly start saying how they knew Mosley was old and past it...

Didn't you have Froch winning on your card against Kessler on saturday night man?

[KananKrus]

Much as I would like for Shane to score this win for the GOOD... I just don't see it happening.

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.

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.

Kessler edged it... He won on sheer determination. He was not ahead by a wide margin, though.(speakin in terms of my scoring)

Damnit I picked wrong. Well what I want is for Shane to beat Floyd ass and I don't mean just knock him out. 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.

46 votes? Kessler-Froch was more popular than this "superfight"

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

[JazMerkin]

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.

....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.

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.
