    I don't really see it either, but we have never seen Floyd in a position like that before..

    maybe protecting that 0 will cause him to do something out of character..

    Yes he will,Shanes looking to destroy Floyd

    He can easily hurt Floyd and Floyd cant hurt him

    Floyd and Shane are both aware of this

    :good, he's makes it look like art, but at the end of the day a boxer is still a warrior.

    It's wishful thinking to think Floyd is some glass jawed soon to quit type.

    It's hard to say but I think PBF would have to be more aggressive, I can imaine Roger saying **** that stand toe to toe with that mother****er lol!
    I do think he was embarassed/worried when he was rocked/stumbled by Hatton as I remember Ellerbe saying it didnt matter and not to worry about it (words to that effect)

    I do get the impression the better his opponent fights the better he performs. Hopefully we will be in for an exciting fight!

    :good, Hatton kept trying to rush him and he ended up getting KO'd. Marquez was floored after landing a hard overhand right to Mayweather's face.

    The pattern of floyd getting hurt is he blocks and falls back into the ropes to weather the storm.

    he has never barrera'd out when a good shot caught him.

    I see Mayweather winning and probably by 116-112. Mosley won't catch him with a big enough punch to knock him down or out. Mosley might edge a few very early rounds, but that's about it.

    I think he'll be a bit shaken on the inside and feel the urgency, but try his best to keep his cool on the outside. If Mosley smells blood after something like that, the fight will likely go in his favor if floyd turns cautious.

    I'm sorry but I have to do this. I like mosely and I like Floyd. But I have to point this out. Shane mosely is great fighter but only a half decent boxer. Shane can not hang with pure boxers. Forrest winky cotto all dismantled Shane. Collazo before the shoulder injury. Delahoya brawled with syNe in the first fight and lost. He ravamped his stratagy in the rematched and boxed more and beat Shane while he was on steriods. Shane will hit Floyd but Shane does not have the type of power that puts world class fighters out with one punch. Also shames speed is overated. I don't know why nazim keeps telling him he's just as fast as Floyd because he is certainly not. Cotto out speeded him for twelve rounds and four fighting going backwards. Mayorga who has zero skills beat Shane to the punch many times. On a world class level Shane stregth and his stregth and pressure not speed or one punch power. Floyd is going to do exactly what cotto did.

    This is Shane's last opportunity for stardom. Believe me, he will not let any of his fans and especially himself down.:deal

    If Shane loads up like he did against Margarito he's going to be hitting thin air all night.

    I think that's what Nazim meant by turning into a dragon (Flying away) and firing off dragon breath (Pot-shotting). That's why they got to step on his tail and punch him in the gut. :yep

    Judah stunned him early and he was still as calm as always and kept fighting his fight. I don't think Mayweather is the type that will go out of his gameplan for being hurt or dropped. DLH stunned him early too and he kept his style the way it is.

    The odds I saw on Mayweather getting knocked down were definitely worth some money.

    But anyway, it's too hard to tell how he'll react, especially since it's 3 years since he's fought someone who could really hurt him.

    But if it's an EARLY KD I don't think Floyd will get more aggressive. He'll still just try win rounds until he's forced to step it up.
