I don't know if he'll wreak havoc. If Mosley wants a big payday, then he'll get in the ring with Mayweather in late '07. I think Mayweather would beat Shane rather decisively.
But Mosley would be either favored or at about even odds against any welterweight besides Mayweather.
I'll agree that Mayweather would beat Shane, but I truly believe he'd be Mayweather's toughest opposition out there right now.
I think you need these three things to beat Floyd.
1. Match Floyd in hand speed (or at least come close)
2. Sustain a quick pace for 12 rounds
3. Have a good enough chin to take Floyd's straight rights.

Of all the guys out there right now, Shane's the only one that comes close to having all three of those things.
Gone are the days when bullrushing Floyd was the gameplan to beating him.
As tough as it sounds, you gotta outbox him and catch him with sneak shots when you can.
And if you don't have all three of the above listed things, it's easy work for Floyd.
I disagree that Floyd can't be bull rushed. Goneindeed are the days where it was thought Hatton or Baldimor could bull rush him but someone naturally bigger and stronger will still have the best chance against in my opinion. Margarito remains a threat, as is De La Hoya.
