Shane Mosley says he is confident of causing an upset and inflicting a first defeat on Floyd Mayweather when they meet in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Mosley, 38, is the underdog for the non-title welterweight encounter, but is still predicting a knockout.

"I'll go for a knockout, but I'll be shocked to see him laying there on his back like that," said Mosley.

"The key is going to be speed and power. I'm in the best shape of my life and I'm not worried about ring rust."

Mosley, who has 46 wins from 52 fights, has not fought since a ninth-round stoppage of Antonio Margarito in January 2009, but far from being worried about his long sabbatical, he is drawing inspiration from that shock win.

"They were picking Margarito to win by a landslide, and people were worried about my health and saying he was going to retire me," added Mosley, whose WBA welterweight title is not up for grabs.

"I'm saying to you guys again, that isn't going to happen. He's not going to beat me.

"When the fight starts, I'm going to go out there, I'm going to throw some traps here and there, touch him here and there, see what's going on. I'll probably be able to tell from the first bell what kind of fight it's going to be."

While Mayweather, 33, has won most of his 40 bouts with relative ease, some observers have pointed to his split decision win over Oscar de la Hoya in May 2007 as providing the blueprint to defeating him.

De la Hoya troubled Mayweather in the first half of the fight with a stiff left jab, a shot that Mosley agreed could be key at the MGM Grand.

"It's been proven," added Mosley, a three-weight world champion. "Not just Oscar, but other fighters. Some of the southpaws fought him pretty good with their left hands. So maybe it's not a jab, maybe it's just a left hand.

"But that's just one strategy. I can't just base my fight on throwing a jab. You have to be ready for a bunch of different things, because you're fighting a special fighter."

Mayweather, who was set to fight Philippine superstar Manny Pacquiao before a row over pre-fight blood-testing derailed negotiations, said his defence would be his key weapon.

"It's that defence, you can't break through that defence," said five-weight world champion Mayweather. "It's not cool to take punches. If I was in a bunch of wars, I probably wouldn't be here giving you guys interviews right now.

"All I did was constantly beat whoever they put in front of me, I'm never going to get my just due. All these fighters they put in front of me, they've all been cake walks for me.

"I'm Floyd Mayweather - all the rest of them are just fighters."

sugar gonna lose... badly

How can you say that unless you really don't know anything about Shane Mosley. This guy is a warrior and has been in there with the best. Who has Floyd beaten? In my opinion this is Floyd's first real test. I would like to see Floyd win just to see him fight Manny and finally put the debate to rest. This will be an interesting fight Saturday night.

Will we ever get to see Money vs Pac Man?

you hope after this fight it may happen but it will either be down to money (like real money not the boxer) or it will never happen due to the drug testing before and after fights.

I hope we see it but I don't know it might be the fights thats to good to never happen.

You're not seriously comparing Gatti and Mosley are you?

Pacqauio wouldn't be able to keep up with mayweathers speed

Manny is quicker than Mayweather. What are you talking about? What about power? Floyd beat him there to?

at this stage of their careers, yeah i am.

but who knows who would win, manny decides to take a bloodtest or mayweather says no drug testing then we'll find out.

Floyd has the best defense in the game, but I don't know how the defense will hold up against the speed and the power with which Manny throws. If Mayweather sits in the corner and does that little standing to the side with his left glove on his chin Manny might put him in the third row. You could pull that off against Zab Judah, but not Manny Pacquiao.

Wait, Mayweather isn't pussing out of this fight? Well.. That's a pleasant surprise.

More like being cornered on a wall.

I worry about Shane physical condition. Being 38 and fighting arguably the best defensive fighter of all time in FLoyd, I don't think he can go the distance without losing gas. Bro Nazim ought to have the strategy to beat Mayweather the question is can Shane execute it.

I'm rooting for Shane but my money is on UD/SD FLoyd.

look at them in the corners. mayweather is not even breathing hard... the guy is a genetic freak.

so mayweather won... handily. didn't see that coming :rolleyes: he's the best people.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
