Is Shane Mosley gonna walk through........

Well Zab took him 12 rounds (Zab got a KD on Floyd as a matter of fact) and looked fine at the end of the fight. Cotto beat the life out of Zab and Tszyu sparked him with the first shots he landed. Prime versions of guys like Gatti, Mitchell, De La Hoya etc were all beated in much better fashion by guys considered to be much lesser fighters. A lot of his opponents were stopped quicker by bums early in his career, the time when Floyd fans say he was a big puncher.

All fact

 

no.

 

Yes, he has and he can play chess, high speed checkers or whateva Marc. He has reach advantages in this one, and if you don't think he has the speed and reflexes to feint, hold and counter, check how he managed to do it against Margo's heavy leather. Shane has been here with Hoya and under pressure four years before Mayweather has so he can press the trigger nice and easy, no rushing, no hesitation.

 

As far as the OP.

I dont understand why people say PBF is feather fisted.
He has good power the thing is he does not risk anything at all. He hurts you he wont just go all out to get you out of there. He also is fine just throwing a few punches at a time.

One thing that i dont know if people remember is that PBF actually hurt DLH more with a single shot than Pac did in their fight. I remember PBf landing a right hook that buckled DLHs knees. As many shots as Pac landed i dont remember DLHs knees buckling the whole fight.

 

shane does not have a jab, he uses his jab as a range finder....while he was hitting margocheat with every punch he threw they where wide and wild punches....that approach wont work against mayweather.....shane is more flat footed now and he does not move his head as much anymore....more than anything else shane is going to have to have a solid game plan...there is a reason everyone (most everyone) thinks shane's only chance to win is by ko

 

Floyd has enough power and accuracy to keep Shane honest but there's noway he keeps Shane off him.

 

And Bingo was his name-o.

Shane's jab is going to be pretty useless. It's a pawing range finder that will have no use against a fighter as fast as Floyd. By the time he thinks he's got the right range, Floyd will already be on the move. Shane's best chance is to literally go in there and muscle Floyd around. Remember Floyd hasn't been in a physical fight in over 2 years now and there were moments where Floyd was uncomfortable against Hatton because Ricky was bullying him. Shane has to basically take that to the next level and not worry about warnings or point deductions. If I was Nazim, I'd tell Shane to hit Floyd with at least one low blow early on. Just to sort of wake him up. He needs to take Mayweather out of his element early and initiate what one would consider smart aggression. Don't be like Hatton and bullrush in with your head down begging to get hooked. He should be prepared to take advantage of a lull in Mayweather's activity and try to land as much as possible. Then he needs to get the **** out of the pocket and reset.

 

He got Hoya's attention, he was not even rocked. Pac had DLH in fits you need to watch the fight again. Pac had Marquez in trouble everytime he floored him, Floyd managed it once and Marquez shugged it off.

Floyd fans really get on my tits

 

The DLH Floyd fought was a very different DLH to the one Pacquiao fought

 

I don't know. Isn't that just what Richardson has been working on with Shane, turning his jab into a legitimate weapon? It was pretty damn effective against Margarito, though Margarito is easier to hit than a ring post.

 

I don't even think he has power to keep him honest! Floyd has marvellous footwork and he's the best at shooting sharp and moving on reverse, rolling back and getting out. But Shane doesn't have to put full steam into his shots like against Cotto, Mayo or Margo to make Floyd retreat. Forget about Floyd's check hook on Ricky - Hatton's lights went gradually off, not all of a sudden with that punch.

 

Its all a matter of styles.

Floyd is a defensive fighter. Thats automatic with not getting alot of KOs. And certainly not getting KOs early.

But Ive never seen guys go through his shots like he cant hit. Never.

If you can name some guys Id like to know who.

 

Watch Shanes jab in the Margo fight...hardly a range finder. He has used it as a range finder in the past but his first fight with Nazim and his jab was the best it's ever looked. Coincidence?

And just to save time, Floyd dind't take Hoya's jab away with counters...that is the biggest myth on these boards.

 

Ha PBF fan. Hmmm you must be new. I cant stand the guy but he is one hell of a fighter. You must be a philipino Pac fan. Specially with your post above using previous fights and comparing them to PBF fight with Judah.
IM sure you are just a fan of Pac and no one else.

Anyways when was DLH in trouble by a single shot from Pac??
Pac was throwing every available punch and landing most of them on a weakened DLH.
PBF would throw just a few punches on a strong 154lb DLH and just one right hook buckled his knees.

go back to pacland.

 

What I meant by that is that Shane has to use controlled agression. He can't totally disregard Floyds power and go in there swinging all wild.
