Who do you think will win; and, who do you WANT to win the Mayweather/Mosley Fight?

I'm curious what the public thinks about this fight. So basically, which fighter would you put money on?; also no money involved, which fighter would you cheer on? The majority of answers I've gotten around my gym is (1) Mayweather; and (2) Mosley

    I will be honest, I am pulling for Mosley, as a win over Mayweather would only enhance his legend.

    But in reality, I have a feeling Mayweather's going to win the fight.

    Mayweather, will be doing what he does best, and that is to box on the outside, move, jab, counter punch with the right hand, slip punches, utilize his shoulder roll, while avoiding exchanges at all costs and staying off the ropes. It will be a wide UD for Mayweather. Mosley will try to make a fight of it, but I honestly don't see him winning many rounds.

    I'd like Mosley to win if only to end Mayweather's winning streak, but given Mosley's track record, I find it less impressive compared to Mayweather's. Another thing is, if Mosley wins, Pacquiao may not be interested in fighting Mayweather anymore because all what Manny wants to see, and so are we, is a blemish in the record of this arrogant Mayweather so he will stop boasting, hopefully, that he is unbeatable, or that he still is the better boxer. Certainly, after losing to Mosley, Mayweather loses as well his chance to challenge Pacquiao. But looking on the crowd-drawing part of it, where the money is, a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight surely will draw a higher revenue at the gate as well as in pay-per-view around the globe, not that I think Mosley will be a lesser person as an opponent, because when Manny fights Mosley, he latter is no pushover.

    I am with the answer of Jose Martinez.

    Floyd will be able to coast to a point victory and even try for a TKO or stoppage at the last couple of rounds.

    Mosley's only chance to win is to KO Floyd or make him fight his fight, like that will ever happen.

    I see Mayweather winning but I am rooting for the underdog.

    It is uncanny though that Mosley's chances to win is the same if it was Pacquiao fighting Floyd, they have to catch the cat-quick unbeaten boxer with a solid KO punch or a combo of punches and put him down on the canvas. But I guess Floyd knew his chances was a little higher if he fought somebody older, promoted by the same company & who would agree to his blood test & fight in NV instead of TX. Great decision if you ask me.

    I can see an upset happening because Shane Mosley is one of the best and exciting fighters in history. However, if I were betting, I'd bet on Floyd. He's an extremely crafty fighter. I think that Shane isn't afraid of Floyd at all, and this may have an impact on how the fight goes.

    I prefer to Cheer with the Oldman but i have a doubt in this fight as he is not in his Prime anymore and besides the "Chicken" is Juicing and that is the reason he dont want a fight outside of Nevada.But for sure i will not buy their PPV as everybody knows a fight is surely a boring one,it is really hard to every Fans in Boxing to let go their hard earned money without any return of satisfactions.But am hoping the Oldman can do a good job by making the "Chicken" get "Fried" real Crispy.

    It will be just like Hopkins vs Jones.B-Hop is old as well as Mosley.Jones is fast as well as Money.Mosley is a more battle tested he fought bigger opponent.Nasim Richardson is an entellegent corner man who handles B-Hop and Shane,he knew how to neutralise the style of Floyd same as what they did to Roy.Mosley by UD.

    Source(s): my opinion....my guess....

    I think Money will win because he will be too fast for Shane.

    I expect a Leonard/Hagler type war.

    I think Mayweather will win and also want him to win so that we will see Pac-Mayweather hopefully.
