but he is fighting shane now....so now all the bull**** will stop and he will destroy shane and everyone will just say shane was done even though his last 5-6 performances have been great
Ni99a please. Nobody kills Clottey. Not bricked-up Margarito. Not Cotto. Not no one. March 13th, you will become a believer.
If Mosley falls into Floyd's 'thinking man's game,' then its potshotting all day, and I'll be ready to watch Mosley confused all night. I think Floyd has the natural ability to control the pace of the fight by creating distance and make people think they can outbox him. Everytime his opponents say they're going to pressure or break Floyd's shoulder down, they start to 'think' and once you think, that's when Floyd tags you with his speed. I have a feeling Floyd will get to Mosley's head and Mosley will be very, very tentative to engage.
Floyd has Shane's number. He been had his number, he been wanted to fight him. Mosley has a crap defense. He is there to be hit but he takes a good shot. Mosley basically just started to use weapons like the body jab against Margarito whilst Floyd has mastered this years ago. Floyd dont hit as hard as Cotto but that is not the reason why Cotto beat Shane. Power was nothing. It was his timing and catching Shane coming in with jabs while he outboxed him from the outside. SHANE CANNOT OUTBOX FLOYD FROM THE OUTSIDE. So Floyd already has that battle won. He dont even have to worry about that ****. The only thing he has to worry about is what Shane does when he gets him in a corner and starts to crack off his power shots. "he will just tie Mosley up" but Mosley is a ****-strong sumabitch. And he will make his punches felt when he gets in that range even if they land on shoulders, elbows. Footwork.. Floyd can literally dance circles around Shane as Shane dont really got his legs and never really had great footwork anyway. The fight will go like Shane putting on pressure.. getting in a few shots nothing too serious but Mayweather countering the **** out of him and jabbing him up and scoring more points. But I wont be shocked if Mayweather makes a statement and tries to break Shane down... We will see what Mayweather's true offensive ability is this fight(at welter).
I would put more weight on who Pacman picks if he had fought both of them. Since he has not fought either it doesn't mean that much. I remember when Duran picked Hagler to beat Hearns and that is based on being in the ring with both and feeling the power and strength and everything. I take that seriously, but not when a guy like Pacman has not fought either one. I respect Pacman, but in that case it is like Roy Jones Jr. saying who will win.
i would be interested in oscar's real opinion but sadly we would not get it and what we would only have is a businessman/promoter's opinion.
60-40 chance that mayweather will win by decision. but "destroying" shane is pushing it too far. w/ floyd's style plus shanes toughness, UD might be the most sensible pick here.
