Why I think Mosley has a genuine chance

B-hop just clowned the **** out of RJJ and Floyd on G-UNIT....from hearing him talk about the Floyd vs shane fight he thinks this will be one of Shanes easiest fights.

 

Thats what makes this fight intriguing.....BUT the thing is PBF been in the gym all his life and I remember watching some video where a commentor said Floyd Sr been putting little floyd in with heavier fighters since he was young, so he can handle it!

So I think he can take a few flush shots from Shane as long as he doesn't get suprised or caught cold!

 

My money is on floyd but mosley has more than a punchers chance to beat floyd. He has the skills to beat floyd. I'm pretty sure floyd will take the punches well as long as he see's them coming. Cotto was able to take some pretty good shots from mosley because he saw them coming. Something no one is mentioning is what happens when floyd sits down on his punches an catches mosley with a lot of shots he don't see coming. It's a longshot but I can see floyd stopping mosley on accumalation of punishment.

 

Well certainly shane has the power to hurt almost anyone and he will land something flush on floyd at some stage i am pretty sure of that.

However i'd be suprised if he can knock floyd out, reason being is i don't see one punch being enough to do the job. Floyd has a good chin, i think you'd need to accumulate on him to work which is difficult for me to see. One being that shane just aint going to hit floyd enough for me and two watch the way he acts when he is hurt by corley, a couple of seconds dazed but look how quicky he goes in to a defensive posture and makes it difficult for corley to land more. He kept his wits about hm even when dazed and if shane does daze him i see him doing the same and being able to ride it out.

I certainly am not ruling shane out and he could KO floyd, i just don't really see it happening

 

No way is this one of Shanes easiest fights, how many rounds did it take him to beat Mayorga, how many rounds with Cotto? Both are lesser boxers than Mayweather.

No way is this an easy fight for either fighter!

 

He recuperated well in the fight with Zab as well. The guy is patient and doesn't mind losing the early rounds to win the rest of the rounds.

 

I think that if Mosley is gonna have any chance at all in this fight, he's gonna have to invest in a body attack--early--and resist the head-hunting until the later rounds. Again, not since Castillo 1 has anyone mounted a sustained body attack on Floyd, mauling him to the ropes and limiting his greatest asset in my opinion--his positioning--to the extent that he just didn't have the energy or the strength to keep Castillo off of him. Unfortunately, Castillo didn't have the accuracy at that stage of the fight to land a headshot of any consequence to put Floyd down. But Floyd was sufficiently worn down that someone like Mosley, I believe, would have the accuracy and determination to finish him if that scenario played out again.

 

G-Unit is 50 cents group/label.

 

Sorry, but I don't remember this at all. DLH never hurt Floyd. At least not any more than any boxer hurts any other when they hit them.

 

of course shane has a chance a very good chance wont be a surprise if he does get the W he really wanteed this fight, he jumpped floyd after the JMM fight so we know he should definitly be at his best for this fight and anything can happen

 

Floyd gets hit. Every fight he's in, he gets hit. Not a lot, but he does. The idea that all anyone needs to do is land flush is part of what loses guys fight's against him, because EVERYONE (well, except Gatti and Baldomir) manages to sneak a few punches through, but they generally do it when Floyd is in a defensive posture rolling away from the punches on the ropes.

The Corley punch was a HUGE right hook that caught Floyd directly on the button while Floyd was throwing his own right straight. It was as perfect a counterpunch as you will ever see and it came, in large part, because Floyd was much more aggressive in that fight than usual. I'm sure if Shane can hit him with a perfectly placed, fully leveraged counterpunch, that he can get a KD. But Floyd won't be nearly as aggressive with Shane, and Shane is not a brilliant counterpuncher.
