    It's all about the feet. Shane needs to work the body early on, even if he drops some rounds.

    Yikes, you'd think Floyd was fighting Mike Tyson tonight...lol

    "All Shane needs is that 1 punch!" wtf... Floyd has never even been knocked down if I recall correctly.

    He toke a knee against Carlos Hernandez but no one put him on the canvas officially. I say "officially" because Judah made Floyd touch the canvas(a legit kd) but the ref didn't call it.

    I think he connects and has Floyd on the deck-say round 9.
    Draw...then rematch...it's a business.
    No one gets k'od...
    12 rounds of fury.

    In the second round of Mayweathers last fight Marquez tagged him with a brilliantly timed right hand that landed flush - if Marquez can do that i'm certain Shane will be able to, at least once any way.

    It will be interesting to see, if this punch connects, how well Mayweather takes a flush bomb from Mosley.

    We don't know how good Floyd's chin is because he's never been decked.

    A couple of wobbles here and there at different weight classes makes for a paper thin logic.

    Having said that, he stumbled onto the ropes from a Ricky Hatton jab in the first round :bbb:yep

    Floyd's chin is fine he has 40 fights under his belt to prove it. If that's what you are handing your hopes on you're in bad shape. It really shows how desperate you fools are.

    I think Shane will connect early and often throughout the whole fight ala Zab Judah. But he really has to pick his shot and use his jab which is something he does not do at all. I like Mosley but I just think him not relying on his jab and picking his shots he will go into attack mode towards the 2nd half of the fight trying to let Mayweather know he has power in the latter rds. Mayweather will adjust, go into speedy coyote mode and pot shot his way to a boring decision.

    It's not just that power factor, it's the fact that Shane knows how to time and place his punches on the fly just like the best of them, Judah, Cotto, Hoya... They think he can't just countermove swiftly and flashy countershot but they gonna be surprised at some point if not from the onset. The one thing that counts for Mosley more than Mayweather's reflexes and defensive skills is the strength to press him back, it would be of no consequence if he had just strength and couldn't tag him like Baldomir, Margarito, Mayorga... No, I take it from Hatton and Judah, Ricky did land clean left hooks and Zab even knocked him down with a counter-jab and landed big str8 lefts early. Shane's surely gonna tag him.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol: your kidding right? I think you need to rewatch round 1 again, because it was clear that he was tripped. :-(
