The much awaiting boxing fight of this year is coming on May 1st. Who R U Picking? This is the theme of the upcoming fight of Mayweather vs Mosley on May 1, 2010 at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas Nevada. The much awaited fight of the year, Mayweather vs Mosley. If Shane Mosley will overcome Floyd Mayweather in this fight, he is the next target of Manny Pacquiao. But for now, he must focus on his training in order to defeat Mayweather. So, I will watch out for this fight and hopefully, the best fighter will win in this match. Now let’s talk about Floyd Mayweather, Mayweather has a perfect record of 40 wins in 40 fights and 25 wins by way of knockout. He is 5′8” in height and has a reach of 72”. He is a 5-division title holder. Sugar Shane Mosley on the other hand has a record of 46 wins, 39 wins are by way of knockout and has 5 losses. He is 5’9” in height and has a reach of 74”. This is a very sticky category if there ever was one. Both Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley were bred to be fighters like a farmer’s prized horse. Both guys grew up with boxing gloves hanging from their crib ceilings.

The debating can go on and on forever. The bottom line is neither guy is going to give you an inch – both fighters are relaxed in the ring, comfortable and fluid in such a way that it’s easy to believe boxing pumps through their veins in absence of blood. This fight, however, is taking place in the welterweight division and when any objective person looks at both fighters resumes from the 147lb landscape, it’s a lot less tricky to figure out just who holds an edge. Both fighters based on their previous fights gets a lot stronger and better at the later rounds. Floyd who is always focused on getting good stamina in a boxing match may have a slight edge against the older Mosley. Size and Strength, Mosley is the bigger and stronger boxer of the two. He has been noted to do more than 300 bench presses. Mosley is naturally a bigger man and can come up the ring 8-10lbs bigger than Mayweather.

Punching Power, I don’t see this as a fire fight. As Mayweather is more into defending his face, body and counter-punching. But if ever this fight ends up a real brawl, Mayweather may suffer a KO loss. Defense, both fighters are very elusive especially Mayweather and both are hard to punch. When it comes to Speed I think Floyd has a better advantage overShane, Mayweather’s fast reflexes and foot speed will help him win the fight. Floyd Mayweather has a lot of pressure now on his mind to preserve his unbeaten number 0 records and if after this fight and Floyd win, a possible Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight will happen later this year. But If Shane Mosley scores an upset, then the Pacquiao vs Mosley will surely happen. Now enough said… The question now is… Who R U Picking? Mayweather vs Mosley fight it is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions and will be aired by HBO pay-per view. Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 3.
