Mayweather is gonna lose by ko...that's the only way I think he can lose because on points it's hard to hit him because he loves to hit and run, so I think Mosley will win by ko because he wants so bad to show Floyd that Floyd hasn't been against anyone like him yet.

I don't see Floyd losing at all, but then again I am no boxing expert.

The only reason I think Mosley has a chance at a knockout is because of his power and speed when comparing Mosley against all of Mayweather's other opponents..If the fight goes to a decision I will say that Mayweather will win because of how he hits and runs.

Since both of these fighters are counter punchers I don't see this being a very exciting fight. Mosley will have to press the action, and unless he can effectively cut off the ring, he'll be chasing Floyd in circles all night. Not sure he'll be able to catch Floyd long enough to open up on him and create a knock out opportunity. Most KO's happen as a result of combinations, and pinning Floyd on the ropes long enough to get an effective combination off will be the key. De La Hoya has the same power as Shane and couldn't really hurt Floyd, so it's not going to be easy. I'm hoping Mosley wins, but I think Floyd will coast to a UD victory in a very anti-climactic flight. At the end, both fighters will probably look like they can go 10 more rounds.

That's a good observance CoolHand68. Styles do make fights, we might have a boring fight being that these guys are counter-punchers, but I am counting on Mosley's aggressiveness. Mosley has been known to take the bull by its horns so it could swing that way. With that being said, I think your prediction is most correct. Let me close by saying my wish, Shane if you're reading this, KNOCK THE CRAP OUT OF HIM. PLEASE KNOCK HIM OUT!!!!

Default How could Mosley win?

There are three ways that Mosley could win this fight:

1) Mayweather breaks his hands and can't return fire. Mosley will be all over him then, looking better than he really is.

2) They agreed before the fight that Mayweather will lose, so a rematch could make them both a lot of money.

3) Mosley pulls a Tarver and catches Floyd with that lucky haymaker.

Default Weigh-in pics

Floyd looks more ripped, the result of youth, extreme workouts, and activity in the ring. He's more than ready. Mosley looks less ripped, the result of age, inactivity, extreme workouts, and a severe DIET! Both look impressive, but Floyd looks like he has the edge.

I want to see Mosley win and I think a prime Mosley would, but Mosley is past his prime. Saw a recent clip of him on ESPN and he seems just a tad punchy. Boxing is a tough game, and I fear Sugar Shane has been at it a little too long to beat Mayweather.
