Floyd has never faced a "crisp" puncher with two good hands his entire career.

like you did for the yusef mack easliy beating glencoffe johnson you so imfamously predicted

 

Savant, I 100% believe Shane Mosley will stop Floyd. I remember when Sugar was undefeated and I went to see him at MSG. I went because I wanted to see one of the all time greats. Little after that He faced a tough opp in Vernon Forrest who was like a more solid version of Paul Williams (not southpaw)
But point is he always faced the best. His career did not live up to the expectations back from the late 90's yet he is still a top notch Hall of Famer. Floyd will lose this fight. Shane has a much better chance against Manny than PBF stylistically with his left hook to the body. Shane has no fear of any fighter and one of the best chins in the game. Shane by KO in round 6 or 7. I still believe Floyd pulls out of this fight. That is just a weird intuition but I would love to be very wrong and see them get it on.
Guarantee Shane wins and goes on to fight Manny.

 

I thought forrest was a southpaw.

 

Shane is a wild Mexican style slugger. His speed, combination punching, and skin color has long fooled many a boxing fan into thinking he's an intelligent boxer. He fought 48 rounds with Wright and Forrest and made only slightly better showings in the latter 24 rounds of both fights -- this shows a fighter who does NOT make real adjustments and simply fights his fight. This type of fighter will NEVER beat Floyd as Floyd will make his adjustments early in the fight, and Shane will continue to do his thing becoming progressively more frustrated.

You have a right to pick whoever you like -- but I sure hope you don't put money on it. Shane has no chance outside of a lucky punch which any fighter at any given time has.

 

He couldnt stop JMMatsch..What you typed above is pure wank fantasy on your part :rofl

 

Yawn. Not sure how Floyd's secret sparring sessions add to your case, but alright.

Yeah Diego Corrales couldn't punch..............

 

They all have an "A" in there name?

 

Stop just hating floyd.

No one will give you any credibility if you're not going to at least give him some credit.
He did have a good career pre-147.

 

He's actually put together a good post 147 career now as well. If he fights and beats Pacquiao that would make him a two time lineal champ at 147. He would've also collected the WBC, IBF, IBO belt once,and the Ring belt twice, as well as he would've beaten the WBO and WBA champs and beaten the WBC JMW champ. He would also have 3 HOFers on his resume(we'll discount JMM because of the size disparity) in his 147 & 154 career. That's not too bad.

 

Right, but by comparison I don't hold his 147 career in that high of a regard.
It's not awful, just not up to snuff for his skill level.

 

Possibly. But if that's the case, then it would've been basically impossible for him to have a resume from at 147 and 154 that measures up to his skill level. Everyone complains about him not fighting Margo and Cotto, but didn't those guys get destroyed by Mosley and Pacquiao? Clearly, it would've been better had he fought those two. But if he's fighting and beating guys that are clearly better than them, how much would've it really added to his resume? In the end, no matter what he does, people are always going to ask for more from Mayweather. He's an emencely talented fighter so I guess that's fair. All in all though, he's put together a pretty good resume.

 

Cotto beat mosley.


For me I would have given him much more credit for beating Cotto/Marg/Mosley(earlier)

Coming back and beating marquez and THEN mosley? He dodged the marg/cotto/williams bullets.

 

you do realize these are all just old bumps right?
