He cant beat Floyd because Shane Mosley is gifted with handspeed, but he cant out think Floyd. He cant out think him. You see, thats a gift that Floyd has. You cant out think him. Dont get me wrong, Shane Mosley has tremendous handspeed, and hes got tremendous boxing ability too. But he cant outbox Floyd because if an opponent doesnt throw a jab, how are you gonna hit Floyd? Youve got to jab to hit Floyd. Youve got to be able to corner him. [Mosley] cant corner him, and he cant outbox him.
The thread title makes it seem Roger is saying you can't outthink Mosley. He isn't. You might want to edit that.
He is thinking about how to get out of the fight. "you can't make this fight happen Mosley, floyd is just too smart for you."
Well hes right he cant out think Floyd if Floyd wont ****ing fight him. Hell Sugar Ray Robinson couldnt outhink him neither the guy actually has to sign a contract and step into a ring.
"There was no point fighting Shane, he has no jab, he's no challenge. That's why I'm a fight Maussa instead, his straight punches will test me and he has a COUNTRY, a country behind him"
I disagree. I think Pac's reliance on that left will get him beat against Floyd. I love Pac as a fighter. But nah.
Roger's just told you how to beat Floyd. You need fast, straight punches. And you need to be able to pressure him into corners. There's only one man who is capable of that - Manny.
Pre-margarito Cotto with his awesome jab and pressure would have been a great match up against floyd.
He ain't ever had the stamina to compete with Floyd. Would probably be a great fight for 6/8 rounds, but ultimately a comfortable 116 - 112/117 - 111 for Floyd.
haha...Roger is something else...I think it would take a "boxer" to beat floyd as well...If anyone can do it it's mosley
