Zero if you ask me. Add to the fact that Shane is a lot older then he was when he meet Cotto and Forrest. Ring rust of 1 year and 4 months. It should be easy for Floyd, and that is the main reason he is taking this fight
He doesn't have much of a chance. But before you dis Forrest, no doubt in my mind Forrest would have given Floyd a lot of problems.
Getting outboxed by Cotto is a cause for concern because Mayweather can move better than Cotto, defend better, and is more accurate and skilled. Forrest, not so much. His height, reach, jab, and long right hand are things Mayweather can't emulate due to his smaller size.
mosley only really lost to Hall of Fame fighters and he has never been stopped. Fighting at welter favors shane I believe and I think he can take the win...call me crazy
The Vernon Forrest that beat Mosley the first time looked unbelievable. I'd put that Viper up against almost any WW.
true, he was outboxed by both. though i have to say both fighters used a TREMENDOUS jab to do so; it was the best use of a jab cotto ever showed. now before every floyd fan comes on and says "floyd has the best jab ever. it killed 4 guys last week in sparring. literally" floyd does not have a great jab. he has a good jab to the stomach that he uses to disrupt people and set up his punches. it's very different from forrests and cottos and i think that's his biggest problem in this match. mind you mayweather doesn't have a lot of problems in this fight
No, i actually thought that Berto's speed would trouble Mosley because of Mosley's age and ring inactivity. So stop making accusation's dip****:thumbsup
it's a size power and strength thing... Floyd doesn't fight or have the same physicalities as them... Both men took the fight to Shane which I don't see floyd doing unless he is just way behind late in the fight... also when Cotto decided to use more movement and "box" is when Mosley gained control of the fight.. Shane is older but he's also wiser and is a finisher, he still has top notch footwork and is able to set a very high pace which will be very interesting to see Floyd have to do...
Yup, that's the link that people forget is that yes Floyd has a great jab but its not the strong piston like jab that Forrest, Winky and Cotto had.
good description, piston, especially in terms of forrest's (rip). winky used it to keep mosley at bay and prevent his flurries, cotto rammed it down his throat, but forrest's hammered down on mosley and set up that right hand that nearly decapitated him
Floyd slows the fight down to his pace and gets selective about his shots. Done in his usual artistic way to get a decision win.
