Floyd Mayweather: "I'm going to focus on timing and distance ..."

that's all mayweather focus on he always fights keeping his distance and timing a few shots looking good while moving all the time and avoiding exchanges with his opponent

:hat

 

The only boxers that can beat Floyd IMO are the ones that are fast and accurate enough to penetrate his defence from time to time while cappable of mantaining a high punch output.

I do believe Pacq was of the right type. Not saying he would have won, but he definitely could have. Mayweather camp was really concerned by this, hence why they asked special testing.

Mosley still has the speed and accuracy. Plus, he has the size/reach to at least match Floyd. What I don't see him having is the work rate. I mean, he throws a decent amount of punches, but to convince the refs, one would have to throw a lot more.

I think a Paul Williams type of fighter would soundly beat Floyd, with his work rate alone.
Mosley's no Williams and I hope he won't go for the KO early on, that is a recipe for disaster. But don't blame Shane for focusing on his strength as means of beating Floyd. Strength is Shane's main advantage over Floyd. An average Shane punch is harder than anything Floyd can throw.

 

Let me just say this about "Timing": It has a lot to do with skill no doubt, whether you are talking about defensive reflexes and counterpunching or if you mean taking control of the fight by being effective and aggressive at the same time. But having said that, that does not dismistify what timing really means - to time someone now and again, it has to do with fast thinking and almost automatic mind-body transfer/natural body coordination. Many can not tell Mayweather from Mosley in what has to do with speed and fluid boxing skills and it will come to the very first moments of the fight for the fans to confirm who has the best strategy along with boxing I.Q. in real time mode. Bottom line, Mayweather relies mostly on long, leading shots and getting out with his excellent legs and Mosley expects to capitalize big on power ( strength and speed) when they happen to mix inside or outside.

 

mosley never listens lol makes him great but the older you get the more you listen to yourself this fight is going to be good mosley going to walk throw floyd punches till he cant no more, the ebst is gonna come out of these guys watch

 

Pac cant beat Floyd. PW can reguardless what happen against martinez. Martinez is a big dude so PW cant bully them guys 147 diffrent story short short arm fighters he rule
Pac dont stand a chance with them small arms you hit pac he hits you back floyd hits pac Floyd wont be there for him to hit back how that fight goes

 

your avatar is funny as hell! poor old Mosley

 

Disagree with some of this assessment. Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright are more challenging then Floyd. And both would have beaten Floyd. Bigger, stronger and punch harder. I think Mayweather would have beaten a prime Cotto though in a 116-112 fashion. Mayweather will definitley bring more angles and more speed then both Forrest and Wright. But he doesnt have any of the physical advantages on Shane. He may have more speed now, but not by much. Plus Mosley is the stronger of the 2. In fact Mosley is stronger then Oscar(even without Balco) so this will be Mayweather toughest opponent strength and speed wise. But off of the Cotto fight, I will stand by Mayweather as a 2 to 1 favorite. But if the odds continue at 3 to 1 or up to 4 to 1, Mosley could be a great bet.

 

shocking to hear that from Floyd, all his fights focus on that.

 

you wanna back that with a time off bet? If Floyd stops Mosley, I'm gone for 6 months... and if he doesn't, you go for 3.

 

I assume you mean cuts.:think

Can you or someone else please explain how a guy with a 63% ko ration with 1 TKO in his last five fight against a guy he was unloading flush on all night (and it still took 10 rounds) is going to ko a guy who's never been ko'd?

I can't wait to hear this.

 

I'll hop in with you on that.
If floyd stops Mosley I will leave for a year
If he doesn't, this dude is gone for 3 months.

 

You don't even consider floyd's hands in this fight do you?
He stands NO CHANCE of a KO.
