You heard it here first, Mosley will beat Floyd

[Bomp]

rjjtszyu, sure I'll accept that bet.

All I can say is STYLES MAKE FIGHTS and if Floyd had trouble with De la Hoya and he couldn't stop Zab Judah or Marquez then he's not going to hurt Shane. Shane has fast hands, he's strong, and he's got a great chin. I just don't thin Floyd has the style to bother Shane, he's not tall, he doesn't use a conventional 1-2, his defense and counterpunching are great but that alone won't get him a win over Shane.

I see where you're coming from, but IMO Shane's only chance is if what Floyds detractors say are true and that he cant handle a 'proper sized strong welter', and crumbles under sheer strength. If he can then thats one less thing people can say baout him.

Alot of people quote stuff like speed and power as if they can be quantified like in a video game, Shane still has some power but only when hi winds up noadays, and wont land those shots often enough to hurt Floyd IMO.

Another 'attribute' where a lot of people gigve credit for in Shane is his Stamina. He's shown heart and guts to dig deep late in rounds recently against Mayorga and Cotto. While he gave a lot of heat in those rounds he was winging away really unlike when Floyd is forced to the later rounds still has is balance and composure intact.

I'm goin for Floyd comfortably, maybe not causing too much damage cos lets face it even when he has a man beat like Marquez or Baldomir he doesn't go for the kill, which is less likely against a pumcher.

It's been an up and down for Mosley overt the past few years although in retrospect, i can really discredit Mosley for his performances. I still see Mosley as a Top Tier fighter.

I think Mosley's last four fights against Collazo, Cotto, Mayroga and Margarito get blown out of proportion for all sorts of reasons.

I think too many people underrate Mayorgas performance. Maybe it's the awkward style of Mayorga? I give Mayorga the credit of putting up a great fight... He is a very canny fighter in a weird way. Plus he was 10 pounds bigger than Mosley that night. For some reason Mosley can't handle big guys?
But the main thing is he pulled through. It must of been almost heart breaking knowing both Tito and Oscar destroyed Mayorga yet here is this guy still there giving him.

Also, does anyone else think that Mosley would destroy Cotto in a rematch?

inflammatory comments aside... This could be a pretty straightforward win for Mosley if he just starts fast, keeps his shots straight and keeps on pressing.

I hope you are right. Shane has got to go for the body and be aggressive.

[match]

Floyd wins this going away. He doesn't have to hurt people to beat them.

[sumkalambay]

Mosley definitely has a chance.. he's gonna try make a war out of it

[CountryBoy]

Mosley will murder Floyd....Bank on it.

[generalbulldog]

Mosley ain't gonna do shit. Maybe 10 years ago when he was younger, faster, and stronger, then yeah. Not to mentioned his special vitamins that he got from Victor Conte.

I'll be shocked if Mosley wins more than 3 rounds.

Although I'd love to see a Mosley win it won't happen! Mosley is a great fighter & a fight between these two at 135 would have been magnifacent, but at this stage Floyd wins this easy!!!

Oscar won 4 rounds.

So prepare to be shocked.

Couldnt agree with you more. But by God I hope we are wrong.

Shanes speed isnt just raw hand speed he hits on the move timing other guys spaces and thats a forward movement, Floyds reactions and angles will balance that out at this stage.
