mosley on his best day which was years ago would of given pbf all he could handle and then some.im not saying he would of won or lost-i think he would of won-but the fight for both of them would not be a cakewalk..

Well I kinda meant the day of the fight at his best. hurt neck or no hurt neck? 8 years ago the fight would've been better, but PBF still wins imo.

When Shane Mosley was knocking Lightweights out left right and center he would have given Floyd all he could of handled.

He would have KO'd Floyd. I hate Shane way more than I hate Floyd and I think Shane would have cleaned his clock. But hey he was on roids back then.

I've been saying for a while that Shane is slurring a little bit. I said that on the espn board and people called me an idiot.

I said alot of things on the espn board that people called me an idiot for. When I picked Sergio Mora (who I hate) to beat Vernon Forrest in their first fight!! People just kept going off on me calling me dumb.

And I gave a good reason that I thought he would pull the upset. Forrest was older. He had been inactive alot over recent years. He wasn't going to be that up for Mora. So it was a prime occasion for a somewhat flat performance. And Mora was the right guy to capitalize on that kind of performance. You come in a little flat, and take too long to get going, then Mora is going to move, jab, move, quick right hand his way to a lead.

I got called a moron for suggesting that ODH was looking a little old after fighting Forbes. I remember he won, and won 10-11 rounds on the cards, and I said, he won the rounds, but he did get tagged alot by a sparring level guy. People called me an idiot.

I did say alot of dumb things on that board, like I do here. A
t least here, people take the time to think about the things you say, and they offer an opinion that has been formed after thinking.

Floyd was also a tremendous fighter back then , he was knocking out alot of Super Featherweights. Floyd was alot more aggressive at Super Featherweight.

Yes he was. But do you think he would have been that way against the iron chinned Mosley. If he did he would have been KO'd fast.

The biggest thing I picked up from the fight wasn't Floyd getting rocked, Mosley looking old, etc...

It was FLOYD'S LEGS. I noticed it a little when I watched the fight live, but when I watched my tape of the fight, it was noticeable. His legs (which have been going downhill a little bit) are going fast. He stands much more flat footed. Not that much spring in the legs anymore.

My opinion is that If I was a Floyd fan I would want the fight as soon as possible with Pac. Pac is younger and seems to be getting better with every fight. I cant say the same thing for Mayweather.

Our boy Marble, first brought up Floyd's legs after the ODH fight. He said we may have already seen Floyd at his absolute peak, as Floyd's legs had already begun to go downhill (just a little bit at that point).

If Pac is ever going to beat Mayweather, it definitely is better that the fight would be happening this November(if it happens) rather than 2 years ago.

I agree with that. But hey Floyd will not sign the contract. I have no idea why. The money is there to be made and that is all he is about right?

I was once an unabashed Floyd mayweather fan. Eventually, I saw the light. After beating Mosley, I thought he'd now take on Pac, and with an impressive win, I'd have to give him the credit I stopped giving him. The way it is going, I don't think he'll ever sign to fight Pac.

He really may be scared to fight Pac. Even when I left the Floyd fan club, I always thought that it was because of money that he didn't face alot of guys. Now I think he really cares about that "0" more than anything.

A big +1 I think I have wrote the exact same thing before.

Good decision guys. Also, in the WW division, the O is worth nothing if it came from nothing. He's confused if he thinks that people will see him as invincible. But I promise you, he'll be back. It's all about ego with him. He'll try and make up for the shortcomings of his career when he's way past his prime.
