i would like floyd not to play it safe and fight pacquiao heads-on so we could see if he can really stop pacquiao. pacquiao was last stopped was when he was at 112 pounds as a skinny teen-ager. floyd fought an offensive fight against mosley and now he is stopping pacquiao? maybe if pac sudddenly got shane's stamina, yes floyd would stop him.
A lot of people thought this. Did you watch the fight? They landed almost an almost identical number of punches. I was rooting for Cotto that night but I had Mosley ahead after I gave him the last three rounds after Cotto got on his bike.
Meanwhile he almost drops Floyd which nobody has done to that degree before. Imagine he ended the fight right there; people be saying Shane is P4P #2 or even #1 ahead of Pac if that had of happened. Floyd is resilient though and him enduring that and coming back to dominate and rock shane is remarkable and what ATG's do. Anyway we can compare notes all day. You pick Pac to win, I see Floyd winning and stopping Pac. I guess hopefully we'll see soon
Please do not even mention the #3 guy. Do not disrespect the term P4P. JMM surely is the #3, but they fought in a very uneven field. But I do agree that he definitely is, and should be called the #1 P4P after his showing against Shane.
Yea the first writer says he had it a draw atsch Took me literally 5 seconds and a first link to click on. Who cares what else was said. The fact is it was a very close fight that could've gone either way and Shane goes on to beat the man that beat the man, actually CRUSH marg.
it's a close fight but it is not a pac-jmm situation where it could have gone either way. cotto had it close but clear and it was the concensus if i remember right. cotto fought a margarito with "a possible" paster of paris in his arsenal and that was a supremely confident margo even if he was being outboxed for 6 rounds. shane fought a margo who was not focused that night for he was caught and his "confidence" removed. not even the same opponent in its mental state and "padding equipment".
Shane and Cotto both landed 248 total punches! Cotto went 248 of 675 (37%-56 thrown per round) Mosley went 248 of 774 (32%-65 thrown per round). Cotto had a 98-71 edge in jabs landed, hitting on 34% Mosley landed 53% of his power shots (177 of 335) to 150 of 387 (39%) for Cotto Clear, hardly
You know, everybody says compubox means nothing, but almost every fight I've seen that's seen that's scored close and/or controversial, the compubox usually indicates that perfectly. It's usually the punctuation on many instances
