Am I the only one who thinks Mosley/PBF is going to be a complete blowout?

[p4pking]

My gut feeling is that it will be a lopsided UD for Mayweather, but I don't feel that Mosleys age will be the biggest thing going against him, if it plays much of a role at all. Shane is still going to be much stronger than Floyd, which wasn't the case against Winky or Forrest for the most part. You've got to think, Floyd is a much more negative fighter than those two, he isn't about to walk Mosley down with his jab, and even if he did employ a similar strategy, it would be great just to see Shane land half as much on Floyd as he did Winky and Forrest. As many seem to feel from reading posts on this board, Mosley will probably really struggle to get a rythym going, find a way around Mayweathers jab and find openings with any regularity, but he should clearly be the agressor from start to finish, and he hasn't shown any signs of gassing late in fights despite his age. Generally guys who lose a step or two get shown up against the younger fresher guys who have more tenacity, as great as Floyd is I really don't see him as the type of fighter to make anyone look old. If Mosley wants to fight at a slow pace, then Floyd will let him, he's not going to be looking to take risks and bring the fight to Shane. I think the early rounds should be extremely competitive and great to watch, Mosley still has very fast hands and hits much harder than Floyd. If Floyd does win by a good margin no doubt everyone will point to Mosley being old, but I really don't think Shane has any less of a shot now than would have been the case 5 years ago. Ten years ago is another story, but I just don't think of Mosley as an old fighter.

Yeah Mayweather lost 4 rounds to Zab Judah and was knocked down.

Then lost 4 rounds to Oscar Delahoya en route to a split decision.

I had him winning 116-112 clearly tho myself.

He also had a competitive fight with Ricky Hatton up til he caught him comin in with that great counter left hook.

And now suddenly he's gonna win every fukking round against "Sugar" Shane Mosley and easily beat the man with one hand tied behind his back ?

Sorry but I don't think so.

i think it's going to be a competitive fight with sugar initiating the aggressiveness in every single round. similar to the dela hoya-floyd fight sans shane gassing out in the late rounds.

I'd be surprised if it was any closer than 118-110/117-111 in favor of Mayweather.

I think Floyd will win this fight, but it won't be a 12 round domination. Mosley is a very strong and quick fighter. As said earlier, Zab Juddah gave Mayweather some problems, and Mosley is still very quick and a slick fighter, as was Juddah. Mosley will win some rounds, but Floyd is just so damn hard to get any good clean shots on, and will end up with the decision.

I think it'll be just like these fights. Mayweather tests the waters for a while, gives up a few rounds, then makes the proper adjustments & wins the rest of the way.

I do think to the majority of the public & the judges, Mayweather will win a solid decision. Although I think Lederman will reward ineffective aggressiveness & give Mosley more rounds than he should. Then Mayweather haters will run with it & say Mosley was robbed.

No way, this fight is going to be actual the best of the year in terms of what it means to the boxing world and the significance to the WW and P4P ratings. I think we are going to see something special and one to remember in 2010. I think Floyd will take this out of the bag and take a UD though.

[luvfightgame]

I think your the only one. I don't see Floyd bringing the fight to Shane. Shane will be the aggressor and Floyd will try to spend the fight making sure nobody gets hurt.

Floyd will spend the fight trying not to fight. Which will be far from a blowout. He's gonna fight like he did against Baldomir but Shane won't let him.

I think people don't recognize the dominance of Floyd mayweather. Because he is so passive in how he fights. His speed is flashy but he doesn't avoid punches in fan friendly styles like whitaker or Roy jones. Also he is amazing in how economic he is offensively, but people don't appreciate it. Statistically he dominated Oscar and hatton but they looked like they were competitive because Floyd doesn't dominate guys physically like mosley or Roy jones did. Nor does he have the power to overwhelm guys ala pacquiao. If you look at fights with a technical mentality he is just as dominant as Roy or Pernell.

If Floyd Meaweather was a Quarterback, he would be criticized for not taking a sack. Because that is the equivalent of criticisms against his style. Boxing is a science, and Floyd Mayweather's style represent the essence of its description as "the sweet science". Unfortunately as the years have gone by the fan base of boxing seem to be displaying more symptoms of punch drunkenness, than many of those who were in the ring taking the actual punches.

Floyd will not blow out Shane, pride alone will make Shane push Floyd like he has never been pushed before.
