Mayweather v Mosley nearly done for May 1st 2010

Is Mosley vs Berto off?

Yes mate Berto pulled out because of the events in Haiti which obviously effected him and his family.

Ohh sucks really looking forward to that fight. I hope his family is ok.

I read that he lost 8 family members, and that his sister and niece were left homeless. I guess he's there now trying to help out.

This is the second best fight that could get made in the sport & I suspect they've already agreed it & are just waiting because of the Berto situation.

I like Mayweather by close decision, but Shane is no underdog for me, I'd have it a 55-45 fight in favour of Mayweather. The winner will fight Pacquiao assuming he wins (which I think is close on a given, it's a great style match-up for him).

this.

its really hard to see who's gonna be on top. i love both fighters but i wanted to see how mosley looked with berto first but i guess that ain't happening. still, mayweather by close decision. but there's this very good chance mosley imposes his will on mayweather.

It will be the second best option with the Pac fight having blown out the window. Mosley at his best gives Mayweather fits, but I have to wonder how Mosley is really. By the time he gets in the ring, he will have been out almost 18 months and will be well into his 38th year. Like I say, Mosley with the speed and stamina at his best is a real hard nights work for Mayweather, but there is no way of telling where Mosley is at. The Berto fight would have been a great indicator. It's a shame that one is off as it would have given us a clearer idea about Mosley.

Wow. I'm almost as excited about this as I was for Pac vs PBF. I mean Pac's a better fighter, in his red hot prime and his in and out weaving style sort of reminds me of Duran...in that its essentially offensive but still serves a defensive purpose.

But Mosely is arguably more dangerous at welterweight. He's natural at this weight and we all know it just takes one punch to change the complexion of a fight. Only Williams would be a braver fight for PBF IMO, b/c of his Hearns like height and reach advantage as well as the remarkable quantity of punches he throws. But fighting Mosley puts an end to the myth of PBF as dodger. This is the way a brave fighter behaves.

In comparison, Clottey vs Pac seems lame. Clotty is a terific fighter but he's not in Mosely's class, having just lost to a man who was destoyed by Pac, and who was never the same after being plastered by Margarito.

He must be destroyed, poor guy ....

I don't believe it till it's signed. PBF doesn't want to fight Shane.
