Is Mosley too old to beat Floyd?

Age will not be a factor but speed may be.

Mosley has not fought since January 24th 2009, inactivity and age will see him lose a rather lop sided decision against Floyd. Mosely is 39 in September! Nothing against Sugar Shane Mosley, i love the guy. I just think he will be well outboxed in this fight.

It aint just age, its a combination of things. Floyd pretty much beats Shane in every department.

Wow this isn't fair at all, people say they want Floyd to fight a real test, and now he is and he still isn't going to get any credit for it because in the end no matter who he fights he is suppose to win anyways. I mean he didn't fight in 17 months before facing Marquez and look how sharp he was. Mosley hasn't had a real fight in over a year, but he was just about to face Berto, and the sharpness regardless of being in a fight or not was attained in preparation for that fight. He for all intents and purposes got in fighting shape less than two months ago. For a young guy actually having that fight would mean something, but for a veteran who has been in so many big fights just getting that focus back, which he did, is what's important.

In terms who has the advantage, I see Mosley being bigger and much stronger than Mayweather, but also just as fast. I think Floyd obviously has advantages in skill and timing, but age won't be a factor because Shane will be in fantastic shape and he will be pushing the pace of the fight. If anything Floyd will be slowing down the pace of the fight.
