Shane Mosley vs ‘Money’ Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather is a hated man in boxing right now. The steam train that is Manny Pacquaio reached a screeching halt when many accused Mayweather of demanding too much when he asked for random blood testing. So come May 1st, many will be cheering for the much loved Shane Mosley to end Mayweather's undefeated record.

Shane Mosley has already achieved a lot in boxing. Beating Oscar De La Hoya twice, and continuing to impress in recent years, especially with the domination of Antonio Margarito in his last bout. Unlike Floyd Mayweather, Shane Mosley is not afraid of losing. he has loss 5 times and every single time he has come back and proved his critics wrong. The biggest concern for Shane Mosley in this upcoming fight against Floyd Mayweather will be a question of boxing styles. Mosley's 'action-packed' power hitting and open stance is tempered by an open defense, which will allow Mayweather to easily pot-shot and take the match to points- and if it does come to points, Mosley will lose.

Mosley is notorious for his defensive boxing style which is controlled by incredibly fast hand and foot movement. If Shane Mosley is to win, he needs to rethink his strategy- bring the fight to the inside, which will allow him to slow down the bout and control it in-close. Of course this is easier said than done- just ask Ricky Hatton
