Bernard hopkins : On floyd vs shane...........

This is the first time in a long time that I have been truly hyped for a fight. This is the fight that I really wanted anyway. I'm kind of glad that the pacquiao fight fell through.

 

arent those the keys people like Hatton talked about among others and look where it got them.

 

True. Mosley is not a pressure fighter, period. He for some odd reason thinks his hand speed and power will win the fight and that's what causes him to lose. He relies too much on his attributes and when they fail him, he fails. I find it comical the guy is talking about stopping Floyd. What 'elite' fighter has Mosley knocked out much less beaten convincingly in his career?

 

Hatton was right but not good, relentless or tough enough to do it at that level.

I've no doubt that Shane is tough enough but he needs to show tremendous workrate and stamina, and I don't think he will at his age.

I don't think that Shane will beat him.

The one fighter in history who would have given Mayweather a loss for sure is Duran.

He had eveything needed to beat mayweather.

 

at which weight class?

 

Typical Hopkins rubbish......
.......Nazim is supposed to find the right gameplan to beat Mayweather because Nazim found Margarito and Trinidad loading their gloves????:rofl:rofl:roflNow I've heard everything!atsch


Loaded gloves has nothing to do with Nazim finding a plan for Mosley to implement against Mayweather.....but that mainly what Hopkins talks about when the question is directed on gameplans.


Hopkins-"Nazim will find it.....he found the loaded wraps, he'll find the right plan.":!::!:nut


I wonder if it was Nazim who's plan it was to have Hopkins not fight for the first 6 rounds vs Jermaine Taylor, not once, but twice.


.....and I'm sure Nazim can find a way like Hopkins is saying in that video to make Mayweather fight.......all Nazim has to do is study the tapes of Calzaghe's workrate forcing Hopkins to fight.

 

They did...Messed up thing is they just ran out of rounds!:yep

 

What Bernard was trying too say is that Nazim goes into that much detail with his plans that he goes as fars as checking wraps etc hes a perfectionist who will spend a long time viewing tapes strategising and going through the scenarios with Shane until its 100% right.I'm not saying Shane will win I'm just trying too explain what Nard was trying too say.

 

no, i agree as well. if anything i think it allows him to use one of his biggest asset in counterpunching.

 

Floyd fans have said to me in the past that Floyd destroyed him in the rematch.

Floyd fans are fickle ****ers, as soon as Floyd loses they will all walk in a different direction. They just want to support a winner and try be a part of it, like Manchester UTD fans do.

 

I wonder what you're reaction would be if someone claimed Pacquiao lost both of the Marquez fights.

 

Admit he lost the fight and stop bringing other **** into it. Idiotatsch

 

The bottom line here is that its not a secret that Mosley has to apply pressure and use his strenghth on the inside against Mayweather.

......whether Mosley can get to the inside without getting crisply countered by a shapshooting counterpuncher like Mayweather is the mountain that Mosley will surely have to climb.


The Mayweather plan will be to take away Mosley's left, and keep him from digging it hard.....the looping right hand of Mosley's Mayweather is too sharp visually not to see coming.

The keys to fighting Mayweather should'nt be too hard to figure out for Richardson......the problem is that Richardson is'nt figuring out a plan to fight a slower less dimensioned fighter in Pavlik or Margarito this time......this time his pupil is nearing 40 years, and the opponent is the fastest, quickest, and most skilled fighter in the business.

You can bring back the 10 greatest strategist of all-time, and its likely not to help Mosley against Mayweather.

 

Castillo didn't apply massive amounts of pressure and he did ok! Same as Oscar. I think if Shane trys too much of the pressure/bully game he might end up the like Hatton did when he tried that gameplan. I think he needs too fight him in bursts, maybe apply pressure towards the end of the round too steal the round and too try and get Floyd too come forward. All out pressure is all wrong In my opinion.:good

Touch a nerve, did I?
