Fight Picks Analysis:
Strictly by the numbers Mosley has the clear edge with a 76% knockout percentage to Mayweather’s 62% ratio. Numbers sometimes lie however and Mayweather’s power may be a little underestimated. Mayweather has good power in both his left hook and razor sharp straight right hand. “Pretty Boy” Floyd can also hurt foes to the body with a right hook with precise bodypunching. On a scale of 1-10 Mayweather’s power grades out to about a 7. The Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley Fight Odds Total is at 11.5 Rounds with the Over at -340 boxing betting odds.

Early in Shane Mosley’s career he knocked out almost everybody. Mosley is an aggressive fighter by nature and he has a very strong upper-body with the ability to bench-press over 300 Lbs. Mosley is not the knockout artist that he was when he was a lightweight but he is still an explosive puncher. Mosley hits equally as hard with his straight right or left hook and his body punching is excellent. Mosley’s power grades out at an 8 on a 1-10 scale. The Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley Fight Odds give Mosley a 25% chance of winning.
