Who's Going To Win The Mayweather-Mosley Superfight?

Ja DawsonApr 13, 2010

On May 1, 2010, Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr. (40-0, 25 KOs) and "Sugar" Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) battle for welterweight supremacy. But more importantly, they are battling for a chance at a mega-fight against Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs). 

To the winner goes the spoils.

Who's going win? I'm predicting a Floyd Mayweather unanimous decision victory based on the factors listed below.

Locale

Las Vegas, NV may be Mayweather's adopted hometown, but Sugar Shane is the west coast's most popular boxer now that Oscar De La Hoya is retired.

Even

Hand Speed  

Mosley has fast hands but Mayweather has lightning-fast hands.

Advantage Mayweather

Ring Generalship  

Now that Bernard Hopkins appears to have fallen off the cliff and Juan Manuel Marquez is on the decline, there is no debating that "Money" is the sport's best ring technician.

Advantage Mayweather

Competition

Early in each fighter's career their resumes were very comparable. Most recently, it's no contest.

Advantage Mosley

Power

Don't sleep on Mayweather's sneaky power. If you do, you may be put to sleep. That being said, Mosley is still the more powerful puncher.

Advantage Mosley

Conditioning  

I'll never forget the time when I caught an early flight out of Las Vegas several years ago, only to see Mayweather doing road work before the crack of dawn. Beneath the flashy exterior is a true gym rat.

Advantage Mayweather

Chin

Floyd has never been seriously hurt in the ring, but is that a function of his great defense and/or his lack of competition of late? No matter, Mosley has one of the best chins in the business. Period.

Advantage Mosley

Footwork

One man (Mayweather) was on Dancing with the Stars. The other man (Mosley) gave up his dancing shows a long time ago.

Advantage Mayweather

Size/Strength  

Mosley is arguably the strongest fighter in the welterweight division. Just ask the division's former strongman, the disgraced Antonio Margarito.

Advantage Mosley

Defense

Sugar Shane's offense is his defense. Money Mayweather's defense is the best in the business.

Advantage Mayweather

Look for Floyd Mayweather to utilize his key advantages in hand speed, ring generalship, and defense to out-slick Shane Mosley over 12 brisk rounds in a few weeks.
