Even if he regains some speed at 147 and throw the old combos like he did against Vargas in their second fight though, I think that'll just leave him open to getting painted with counters all night. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this would be an easy fight for Floyd, but I'd bet on him taking 8 of 12 rounds.
I agree.
Only reason anyone is talkin about Shane Mosley is because he looked so good against a finished Vargas. And in the second fight Vargas appeared to have no energy in him whatsoever (probably from trying so hard to make weight). Mayweather would destroy him on points. I bet this would be a really entertaining fight though for about the first five rounds...after that Mayweather would build a steady lead and take the decision...
No the reason is, that Mosley has phenomenal experience and would be closer to his natural weight. He hasn't always won, but he's been in against some incredible talent. Winky, ODLH, Vargas. His ability to rough up floyd early and box him late gives him the best chance IMO. by no means do I think that this would be a blow-out though.
Not a blow out, i think it would be close for half the fight. After that I think Mayweather would start taking rounds and being the more active fighter as I have seen a tendency for Mosley to start gassin out in the later rounds (such as in his first fight with Vargas).

I also think PBF's defense is too solid for him to actually get hurt, So I went with Mosley UD
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
