Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Shane Mosley is now, and has always been A strong Fighter,throughout his career and throughout A fight,Shane does not now,or has he ever suffered with stamina problems,Shanes losses to W.Wright was simply due to the fact that Winky was just too big for Shane,Mosley had no buisiness fighting Winky other than money.This fight with Mosley and Maywaether will dwarf Pac`s fight in every aspect,and much credit for both fighter`s for being willing to prove that they are both clean.I`am A Fan of Manny Pac,and I dont know how anybody who say`s they love the sport of Boxing,could not be A Fan of Pac,but his outright refusal to prove that he got it honest,and to walk away from A pay day,and A fight of the magnitude of Mayweather V.S Manny has cast more than suspicions about his recent performances.
I think skill and the jab will set Mayweather apart here. IMO on the outside he is so much smoother and he has a real jab that Mosley is going to be in big trouble technically if he can't get Floyd on the ropes and keep him there. If Shane can do that consistently then things could get interesting, but I don't see any orthodox fighter landing with regularity against Floyd regardless of how fast they are, especially somebody without a good jab. While I think Mayweather gave Oscar a comprehensive boxing lesson(should have won by 9-3 or 8-4, and landed almost twice as many punches included jabs), you could see how Oscar's jab even when it wasn't landing was able to get Mayweather on the ropes. Floyd is really used to having his speed allow him to move away straight backwards and hasn't moved away laterally when he gets close to the ropes in a long time... at least not consistently, and that might be a big problem against Shane.
I honestly believe Floyd used less movement against Oscar than he could have, and that he was trying in his own way to fight toe to toe with ODLH, but against Shane he really needs the same mentality he had against Corrales. He needs to move a lot to really drop Mosley's output, and he needs to get out of his shell offensively as the fight progresses.

I want Mayweather to win but I also want to see an all out war!!!! Sadly it will either be a lopsided Mayweather defensive master class or a boring Mayweather UD. Don't think Shane has what it takes to hit Mayweather enough times to drop him.. and it's almost impossible to outscore Floyd, unless you knock him down of course.
This is without a doubt the biggest fight in a good few years!

The Mosely fight was always second behind Pacquiao for me. So I cant say I'm too disappointed with Floyd's choice here, as he's fighting a genuine welterweight who will cause him trouble. Good job he aint fighting Malignaggi or Campbell.

This is the second best fight out there now IMO and i'm glad Mayweather is taking on a genuine challenge. It definitley beats some of the other names mentioned like Campbell and Malignaggi. Hopefully we'll get a good competitive fight, but i see Mayweather winning by a wide UD.
