    floyd is a more difficult fight for shane in that he could not compete in floyd's game. pac's style will be more familiar to him. he has the power to hurt pac and still has decent speed. it's his stamina that's at question. i see him gassing out early to mid rounds if he can not put pac away early. i think this will be a more competitive fight than floyd-shane.

    Manny could easily win 10 out of 12 rounds, as Floyd did, but without being seriously wobbled in the process. That would be one up on Floyd.

    On that one particular incident, yes.
    But watch the remainder of the round.
    Even Pac has better moves in escaping a clinch and we all know Pac suck on those.
    Don't make it sound like it was all Floyd's prowess that saved him the round.
    Mosley was clearly acting like a turd and something was so weird about him.
    Even Hatton had better follow throughs against Floyd.

    Bottom line is, my dog could've been more aggressive than Shane inside there.
    And I'm talking about my Lab, not my Rott.
    If you can't even see that, then no use arguing here.

    Watch the tape. Mosley threw multiple bombs after landing the 2nd big right on Floyd. Floyd's defense was too much for Shane. It's no secret that $ knows how to play the clinch game better than most.

    He also tried backing up and maintaining some distance to avoid Floyd's clinches, but that gave Floyd enough room to "box". Shane wasn't going to beat $ at a "boxing" match, so he lost the remainder of the 2nd round.

    Do you have any explanation at all for Mosley "acting" like a turd?

    I think it would actually be the opposite of what most of you guys are saying.

    If Pac beats Shane by an early KO or a shut-out UD, people are just gonna say Shane has slipped even further since the FMJ fight. Thus, it would not be a more "convincing" win for Pac.

    What I think would be more convincing is a back-and-forth fight-of-the-year battle where Pac gets a late KO in the championship rounds.

    Then Mosley tests positive after the fight. Ha ha!

    Just imagine what people are gonna say if that scenario plays out.
