Doubt it, but I hope I'm wrong.

Same here.
It's been said too many times but Mosley fights better with guys coming straight at him ala Margarito, Oscar, etc.
Floyd won't stand around. He'll be on his bicycle the entire fight.

And even though Mosley looked terrific vs Margarito I still remember how he looked against Mayorga. I'm worried that Mosley is going to show up. And he is 38 years old afterall.

I have a fear this fight has greater chance of being lopsided compared to competitive.
And as much as I love Mosley, I think he has about a 5% chance of winning.

My prediction (subject to change ) is Mayweather UD12 with Floyd taking 9 of the 12 rounds.

I thought Mosley beat a prime Cotto, and then KO'd Margharito who has an iron chin.

I think Mosley's trainer will have him in incredible shape, and if Mosley uses the gameplan Roach wanted Oscar to execute, he should win.

The thing that stuck out at me the most was in an interview Floyd says he is not going to study any Mosley footage. This could come back to haunt him.

That's gotta be more hotair from Floyd. He tries to make himself to be so good he doesn't even need to study his opponents.
Mayweather is the best at playing the villain and he's doing it to a "T" for 24/7.

However, if he's actually telling the truth, then he's a moron.

P.S. That first episode of 24/7 was hilarious. First, the two doping agents couldn't have looked more uncomfortable or scared waiting around in Mayweathers home.
Secondly, for someone who cares so much about getting rid of steroids, Floyd doesn't seem to mind hiring thugs who are juiced to be his bodyguards.

actually, I don't think he would gain a lot from them.....Naz is in shanes corner now, not his dad. Ive thought this all along, I'll be highly surprised and maybe awed if Floyd dominates Richardson's SSM


I expect a very close fight

I think this could be a good fight. I think this fight hinges on whether Floyd can hit hard enough to get Shane's respect. If so, I think Floyd wins easily, if not, I think PBF is in for a tough and long night, which could result in him losing to Shane.

And I concur with several ppl who said that Shane has trouble with fighters who force him to stalk them BUT Floyd does not run as much as he used to he uses angles more than anything, so Shane will be able to exchange with Floyd.

That being said, I don't think Shane throws wide punches (which Floyd can see coming) and he doesn't use his jab in a manner that would trouble Floyd. I think Floyd wins by UD. The only way shane can win is if he breaks floyd down by going to the body.

In regards to the blood testing during the 24/7 I saw 4 tubes of blood that was taken from Mosely. I thought it was only supposed to be a drop to be taken each time? 4 tubes of blood looks a bit much, especially if they're going to do this a few more times before fight night. Kinda made me cringe.

Blood tubes come in different sizes. Some hold as little as 2 ml (2/5 of a teaspoon), some hold as much as 10 ml (2 teaspoons). Most hold around 5 or 6 ml's (one teaspoon = 5 ml). Capillary collection tubes, as used for babies, hold 0.25 ml to 1.0 ml.

The average male, meaning anyone weighing at or around 154 lbs; total volume of blood is about 5 liters, 5.3 quarts, or 5400 ml.

Yesterday, 4 standard tubs of blood were shown taken from Mosely. That's 4 teaspoons, or 20 ml of blood.

Thats around .0037%, less than 1% of the total amount of blood in the human body. Meaning the loss of blood both Mosely and Mayweather suffered yesterday were virtually non existent. Losing such minimal amounts of blood have no effect on the human body.

To put this into further perspective. When donating blood, a unit of blood, which is roughly 450 ml, is withdrawn from the body. That's 12% of the total volume of blood in the human body. Those 450 ml of blood are replenished within 24 hours.

They're fine.

Floyd's always maintained that he doesn't study any of his opponents film. He claims he jumps in the ring and creates his game plan on the fly.

Because his body guards are professional athletes correct?

Stay classy.

I'm just hoping for a good fight, which I know we'll get from these two and I'm thinking Floyd will win by UD.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Shane Mosley - 05-01-2010

LOL, Mosley was on a so Cal radio show today and he basically called Money gay. Saying that Money worries too much about Mosley's appearance and personal stuff.

Mosley gave off a homophobic vibe as well.

Just to add to that, his uncle Roger is the one who watches film and comes up with the game plan, so it's not like Floyd is totally going into the fight unaware.

They had a 24/7 episode on the 17th and the 10th. They will have 2 more, one on the 24th and the last one on the 30th. I can prob point you in the right direction if you missed one and want to view it.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Shane Mosley - 05-01-2010

Just finished watching 24/7 episode 2 and I don't see how Shane can get upset when Floyd brings up the steroids. He knew going in that that is how Floyd was going to needle (rim shot) about that. I do commend Shane for agreeing to the testing. I don't hate Shane at all, I just see no way he will win this fight. He is strong, but Floyd is firmly in his prime and is so defensive that he will set a trap for Shane and counter him all fight.
