    Mayweather has never fought anyone as good as Shane Mosley b4 and he has had a couple of close calls with Castillo and Oscar

    I wouldnt be surprised if Mosley beat him . Remember not many thought Shane would beat Tony, let alone smash him to bits and knock him out.

    All the respect in the world to Mosley but to me he would get his ass handed to him by Floyd. I hope this fight does happen though it would interest me.

    man I would love to see been wanting it for years....50/50 with the tide rolling for mosley...but floyd wont take it if he does he will wait until mosley looks completely old and on his death bed.

    Ironically enough floyd would probably convince himself that a rematch with hatton is better for his legacy, if hatton manages to beat pacman.

    I think Floyd Mayweather is completely overrated from 140 pounds up. I think if the fight were to happen within the next 6 months Mosley would win. However, I dont think we will be seeing Floyd fight again. And if he does it wont be against another genuine 147 fighter.

    I totally agree with you, he beat some very good fighters getting up to 140, imagine if he fought Hatton at 140 or Tszyu. Then Cotto, Pot Paws and Mosley at Welter, could have been some great fights.

    I will give him props for the DLH fight at 154 but the cash worth the risk to him.

    Beating a totally shot Mitchell, a war torn Gatti, Zab Judah, Baldomir etc. It's wasted talent if you ask me and he totally overrated himself talking about true greats like SRL and comparing himself to them.

    Cause now Tony had regular gloves, no I gotta give it to Shane. But to compare Floyd and Tony is like to compare light and dark: nothing in common

    You can compare Margarito to Castillo though and alot of people think Castillo beat Floyd. The Mexican outlanded Floyd by alot . Mosley is by far the best person hes been up against. Zab Judahs speed gave him problems early . Mosley though can maintain the speed but he has power and heart too.

    There's a lot of leaps and skips in there. I thought Castillo beat Floyd the first time, but he certainly proved Castillo couldn't do it again. Zab gave Floyd problems early, but what happened around round 3-4? He adjusted. Zab's speed became a non-issue. You also have to look at it from the other side. Mosley has a tendency to become discouraged when he knows he's losing. You saw it in the 2nd Forrest fight and in both losses to Wright. Shane's body language changed midway through the fight and he didn't fight the same. Winky lit a fire under him when he let that fortress of a guard down and Shane commenced to smacking him with a few shots to which Winky just smiled at him and covered back up. After that Shane knew he had no chance. What happens when Mayweather shuts it down the same way?

    I think this fight would be the chance for PBF to become a legend. If he were to show up and fight it would be legendary. Sadly, I would expect him to talk a lot and fight the last ten seconds of the last round.

    PBF could outrun Shane for a decision, landing little and avoiding all exchanges.

    If they actually fought and tried to hurt one another (which Shane always does) Shane beats PBF in a very close and competitive fight which both guys show their metal and becomes a classic. PBF finally earns the respect of the fans and proves he deserves to be an all time great.

    You might want to check that fight again..shane wobbled winky and wink had to grab him to keep from going down...i remember the exchange from merchant and jones jr who were calling the fight that night...

    after winky dropped his guard:

    JONES JR: Aww he hurt Wink!

    MERCHANT: What on earth was Wright doing? I think he was intent on showing mosley that he couldn't hurt him...

    JONES JR: Yeah well he didn't show him the truth because he did hurt him, hurt him bad too.

    MERCHANT: Yeah and you know something Roy he was smart because he went to the body first

    JONES JR: yeah that was very smart...

    Another thing is while many people love to say things like

    Well floyd is no margarito, or look how vernon and winky did this and that to shane....But they never seem to be objective and say

    Well shane is no judah, gatti, or baldomir. And Floyd's isnt as big as winky or long as Vernon. in fact Shane's arms are longer than floyd's and he's much stronger.

    I recall Wink smiling at him. I recall him covering back up after that and then his corner yelling at him. I don't remember Mosley doing anything else significant.

    You're right. Shane is no Judah, Gatti or Baldomir. I wasn't the one comparing. It was whomever saying Floyd is no Margarito. I really was just countering an argument. Floyd would have to work a lot harder than he did versus Judah because Mosley has a lot more heart, a lot more punch than Baldomir (and probably just as much chin) and he can box a helluva lot better than Gatti. To think that Floyd's victories over those 3 means anything against Mosley would be a mistake.

    I understand...i should have clarified my point...the latter part was directed at those that actually do try to use pbf victories over those guys as arguments as to him beating shane.

    And the second winky fight the score was 115-113 go have gone either way....you should check it out again.
