David Haye believes 'Sugar' Shane Mosley could shock Floyd Mayweather Jr on Saturday night.

 

'Money' goes into the massive Las Vegas showdown with a perfect 40-0 professional record.

 

But WBA heavyweight champion Haye believes if anybody can burst that bubble, it's the 38-year-old Mosley.

 

His blend of size, speed and power mean he should at least give the flamboyant Mayweather Jr a tough test.

 

And the 'Hayemaker' says it could be enough to hand Floyd his first defeat.

 

He said: "Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley are my two favourite modern day warriors, who I've studied in-depth over the years. Both fighters are guaranteed to go down in history as 'greats' as they've fought and beaten great World Champions in many different weight divisions. This fight will be a very tense and competitive contest from the start, similar to the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight, but the difference I feel will be that Mosley will push hard down the final straight.

 

"This fight can go either way, but I edge towards Mosley. If there's anyone on the planet with the tools and experience to beat the pound-for-pound King Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Sugar Shane Mosley will be the man."

 

Mayweather Jr weighed in at 146lbs for the welterweight showdown at the MGM Grand, while Mosley was right on the 147 limit.
