    If you look at Floyd's incomplete resume you would think he was 25 and now stepping up against the likes of Shane Mosley yet there are people that actually have kept their thinking from the "bubble era" 1999-2009 that he is already there. Why is his sparring kept secret and how with all the amazing talent at the lower weight classes has he miraculously never faced a real puncher that throws crisp shots and has even decent footwork?

    Suspect.

    Shane is going to cause major problems for PBF because he is the one fighter so far in Floyd's career that throws different variations of his hook and straight right. he has a beautiful short hook and can loop it. Same with his right. That can be the difference in finally seeing the heart inside of Money.

    Two posts and yet you still don't pick Shane to win.

    Deep in your heart, you know Floyd won't lose to him.

    Oscar DLH and Zab Judah are both crisp punchers with two good hands. Stop jiving. So was Victoriano Sosa who Floyd completely outclassed.

    Corley wasn't a big puncher. If you're going to do sarcasm do it right, mate.

    When Floyd was fighting Pac, he was picking on small opponents, and ducking the power punching Mosley.

    Now he's fighting Mosley and he's picking on old, past their best fighters.


    Really, Floyd has made some decisions that were stupid, but some of the treatment he's getting right now is undeserving to say the least. Constant moving of the goal posts. Pac didn't want to fight him (oh sorry, i meant: Pac didn't want to take the drug test because it weakens him, except when he fights anyone else, then he's happy to draw blood), so Mayweather fought the other best opponent available: Mosley. What else can you expect of him?!

    When you're a pacturd there are many possibilities. Floyd can go from a "runner" to a grounded punching bag that will take 300 punches per round within the time span it takes to make one post.

    it would be suspect if he was not facing the best ww (arguably)..but since he is facing the best ww i believe it isn't suspect at all..

    however i will say that shane is the best fighter and puncher floyd has ever faced..its a much harder fight for Floyd than anyone else out there too:good

    Do people create new identities when they want to start hating on a fighter? Seems like these ******ed ass threads always come from someone "new" to the board.

    Sighs

    Floyd took took Oscar's punches well @ 154 what 4 years ago?

    Oscar has 1 punch KO power with his left hook.

    Mayweather is going to dominate Mosley on the inside and outside.
