Bigger threat to Fraud? Shane or DLH???

De la Hoya.

 

Oscar was better in all aspects in their second meeting between them

 

No, Shane landed the much harder shots, fewer but harder.:good

 

What :huh ? I'm failing to make the connection here. How does this help him against Floyd? There is no chance that his jab alone is going to beat Floyd (let alone land with consistency since I think he would tire out from missing constantly). And to say that Shane would go in with a better gameplan and outsmart Floyd is a prayer....PBF adjusts like no one else out there and I doubt Shane would confuse him for the entire fight; he's not that mysterious of a fighter, you know what he's looking to do for the most part. DLH on the other hand will come FULLY prepared for the fight, gameplan and all and is even taking a tune-up fight this time around. DLH is also the bigger man with power, reach, height, ring smarts and generalship, and an iron chin.....the bigger threat imo

 

Did Castillo have all those?

 

SSM.

But Cotto is FIRST in line, so I really dont want to either Shane or Fishnets against PBF.

 

It seems he presents more of a problem but in reality Hoya likes to be on the outside and he isnt fast enough to use the outside in his favor. this allows PBF to play D, potshot and comfortably pick his shots while outpointing DLH ALL day.

Mosely is faster and can fight better on the inside than DLH. Did you see how bad DLH was at infighting in the first fight with PBF.

 

the defense part was somewhat lacking

 

No it's not.

Shane is not more of a threat to Floyd then DLH is.

 

35 - 13 in a pure opinionated poll.

 

He's not exactly a jabber either. So, as you said, those AREN'T just what it takes to beat Floyd.

Zab/DLH/Hatton/Castillo ALL had their most success against Floyd pressing the fight and being aggressive, right?

 

True, but Zab/DLH/Hatton all did it early and after Floyd adjusted, their pressure was no where near as effective.


In the first Castillo fight, Floyd was still learning. Although he won, Castillo was able to do it throughout the fight for the most part. Then Floyd make the correct adjustments in the 2nd fight and won easier.

 

Not the point, but kinda true none the less.
