I fancy Shane Mosleys chance of springing a upset.

One thing I noticed - Floyd has never fancied or wanted this fight.

He has been pressured into it - by public demand - and Mosely openly laying down the gauntlet.

Credit to Floyd for rising to the challenge - but I sense he is uncomfortable around Mosely and his usual brash but geniune confidence is not the same for this fight.

I honestly think Mosely V Mayweather is just as good fight as any.

I go along with the verdict - Floyd is not as good as he thinks he is but is still the best fighter in the world.

But Shane has the pysycolgical edge and physical abilities to test Mayweather like never before.

The notable foe they share in common is De La Hoya - and Mayweather was unconvincing.

Mosely for me to cause a upset - maybe points decsion.

I felt De La Hoya beat Mosley in the rematch. I have no doubt about it.

I agree that it is a very risky fight as Mosley is very fast, fit, determined, tough and a big puncher. However, De La Hoya, Winky Wright and the late (tragic) Vernon Forest all showed that a good jab can keep Mosley at bay, and I think Mayweather sticks his jab in his face all night long to win a fairly comfortable decision.I would'nt be hugely suprised though if Mosley did pull it out as he is a wonderful fighter, but tends to do better against fighters who come forward in straight lines.

mosely has no chance, unless mayweather get's careless...which mayweather dont know the meaning of.

It's conceivable that Mosley can win, but it's very, very unlikely, imo. Unless he can make Floyd very wary of his punches/counters, he's going to get pot-shotted every round. Floyd can get on his bike AND win rounds. Can Mosley catch up without getting beaten up?

i think mosley has been capable of great performances, such as the collazo fight and the margarito fight. i don't think he can show that kind of form consistently, though.

This could be a very intresting fight. Mosley has speed that could really give Mayweather problems but Mayweather is so adaptable and I feel he will be able to get a comftorable decision in a good fight
