    I mean come on.......

    Floyd Mayweather is technically flawed, when he starts a attack...if he does not land his first punch..he will quickly go into his defensive shell.

    Other fighter's like Shane Mosley, once they start a attack..they will fellow their punches up.

    Yes ok we know Floyd Mayweather does not want to waste punches.

    But one or two punches at a time, are not going to stop Shane Mosley

    They could'nt stop a smaller man in JMM.

    On that showing, Floyd Mayweather would not get past Shane Mosley.

    Mayweather threw a few combos. However, you don't need to throw many combos if you're landing at a 60% rate and your opponent is landing 4 and 5 punches a round. I'm not putting too much stock into this fight, but don't put too much stock into the Margo fight. Margo and Floyd are polar opposites. Remember, Shane was outboxed by Cotto. Cotto is a hell of a fighter, but he doesn't have Floyd's boxing skills. It should be a damn good fight.

    You don't understand boxing. You don't have to hurt someone in order to put on a 12 round clinic.:deal Sure Shane throws combos against people who are there to be hit and that stand right in front of him. Where was his combo punching when he faced Cotto? What you fail to realize is that PBF won't give Shane a chance to get off Shane needs his feet to be set in order to throw those combos he has no lateral movement and fights flat footed. That's the reason why he has problems with boxers that and he's a dumb fighter in the ring who can't adjust. PBF will stick and move on Shane all night long and win by UD.

    i think shane has certainly got his flaws but he stands, in my opinion, the best chance of taking floyd. having said that he has one way of fighting and is too flat footed: if floyd can move like he did last night it'll be a long night for shane. on the flip side i think mosley's hand speed is on level with floyd's, he has more power, an incredible chin and is a busy, pressure, combination puncher. he's gonna give floyd fits and it'll be tougher than people think

    No and he needed to. He was pot shotting and could have done with some combinations.
