Shane Mosley makes Floyd Mayweather vs. Gervonta Davis fight prediction “easy.”

Floyd Mayweather was once a valued mentor to Gervonta Davis, but the relationship has broken down recently.

The 50-0 boxing star signed “Tank” to Mayweather Promotions back in 2015. After an undefeated title-winning streak that showcased his power and talent, Davis announced a separation from the company in 2022.

Since then, the two have attacked each other both covertly and directly through the media, making the discussion of a fantasy fight even more intriguing.

In an interview with The Art of Dialogue, former Mayweather opponent and big puncher Shane Mosley backed the older man to win in a prime vs. prime fight.

“I think Floyd Mayweather wins. Pretty easy at 135. He's a little bigger, he's faster, he's a boxer. I don't think Gervonta would be able to get to him. He wouldn't be able to counter Floyd because he's too small.

At the same time, I rocked Floyd pretty well. Gervonta seems to have the same kind of power that I had when I was younger. There's another thing: Floyd didn't like fighting southpaws back then… So that's a possibility because he didn't like fighting southpaws. I still think Floyd would have gotten him, but there’s a question mark because Gervonta Davis hits hard and he could crack him.”

Although “Tank” has said he would like to take the fight, any taunts between the two have been limited to back and forth on social media.

Meanwhile, the Baltimore slugger is scheduled to return to the ring in December to defend his WBA world lightweight title, with super featherweight champion Lamont Roach the reported challenger.
