Mayweather vs Mosley at Lightweight

[Markusdarkus]

Tough fight to call id go with Mosley as he was faster and hit 3x as hard.

Mosley close UD maybe SD.

Mosley.

People forget that Shane was a MONSTER at 135. I think he'd take a close UD.

[The Fightfan]

Mosley by an easy win.Not to mention he was 32-0 with 31 KO's. Mayweather would have ran and ran Mosley would have chased and chased an easily outgunned him and knocked him out. Remember Shane is the natural lightweight Floyd won a bronze in the featherweight division. So Shane would have an edge in size,also he is just as fast,and throws a helluva alot more punches.

This hypothetical matchup is one of the few where I could see Floyd's defense getting overwhelmed. Shane was too fast and too strong at 135 for Floyd.

What's bad is I'd still like to see them fight, at 147 or 154. I think Mayweather wins here, but it would be an interesting matchup.

[Taeth]

Mayweather used a lot more footwork down at 135, and I think he deals with fast opponents better than Mosley does. I still feel Mosley being a little robotic, never having a solid jab, and over reliance on handspeed would make this a close but UD for Mayweather.

Mosley

He was untouchable at lightweight but Floyd got beat by Castillo IMO whos just a limited Mexican . It would be a good fight but Mosley has better speed and power.

You can't state somebody was untouchable at a weight, nor can you compare how Mayweather against somebody like Castillo with somebody like Mosley, they are totally different opponents. Also Mayweather didn't get beat by Castillo, and he tore his left rotator cuff going into the fight so thats still a bad example. Mosley has better combination speed, but for pot shot type speed MAyweather is easily as fast as Mosley, and clearly has quicker feet.
