    LOL
    im a floyd ******??
    im not even that big of a fan of floyd but castillo didn't win.
    i had it 7-5 floyd
    i still have it that to this day.
    but even if you bring that in to consideration and say "have mosely do what castillo did" well that can't be done. Not even Castillo could do what he "did" to floyd again. he adapts so well in any situation.

    Floyd was ****ing injured!!!!!! Sometimes that is an "excuse" but in his case it was the "legitimate reason" and he proved it in the rematch.

    I don't really agree about the bigness of shane because DLH was 154 and he held a pretty good amount until floyd figured it out. also the zab judah floyd fought was the fastest and best zab i saw and he through bombs as him as well.

    I do agree thats shanes best chance, just like everybodies best chance to beat floyd but it hasn't worked for anybody yet.

    I think Shane will be able to wrestle Floyd better then Hoya did. He is stronger with his upper body and is just a better "hugger" :lol: He was completely controlling Margo in the clinches, at points tossing him this way and that.

    lol thats true but i think margo also looked sorta drained against mosely.
    when i saw him at the manny/cotto weigh in he looked terrible. so controlling a drained fighter who think he lost his edge(hand wraps) isn't as big but i do agree he might be able to get close but like i said, to get there he is gonna be walking into some nice uppercuts so i think he changes that style if he gets caught good enough.

    I'd say the myth that DeLaHoya was sweeping the fight with his jab is a much bigger one. They split the early rounds, when De La Hoya was jabbing effectively. The funny thing is Manny Steward is responsible for that talking point and NO one takes him seriously at any other time.

    And really watch Floyd thrown right hand after right hand later int he fight and tell me that didn't effect De La Hoya's will to throw his jab.

    Eventually if you hit someone enough they'll be hurt i guess. But he doesn't have too much power. A post-ward trilogy Gatti, took an absolute beating against Floyd and he withstood so many damn shots. Not too mention, almost all of Floyd's shots landed cleanly on Gatti. Yes he did stop him, but after how many? He was also landing hard, completely clean shots on JMM all night and he didn't KO him. He's got decent to low power, nothing more, he hits opponents with shots they don't see coming and they still take them well. If he absolutely schools Mosley and lands at will he might stop him, but I highly doubt it. If it's a competitive fight, he won't stop him, not enough power.

    He shouldn't even try to. If he takes too many of these shots, they would wear him down, Mayweather has good snap on it. The way Hatton reacted to the one he didn't see coming says it all, that is not featherfisted. He isn't Lamon Brewster, but that is too much to ignore or risk losing too much substance.

    Mosley has to try reading Floyds timing. Either he can tell it really good, then he can press the action. If not, fight in spurts, and fight negative, taking Floyds main advantage out of the game (speed). Impossible to say if Floyd will have significant speed advantage, as Mosley appeared not as shot as Hoya. The smaller it is, the more Mosley can risk. The larger, the more he has to stick to a "boring" but scoring gameplan.

    He has decent power but I believe he's an expert at hitting people in the right places he carefully put those hard punches on Gatti in certain spots to where they wouldn't knock you out but just wear you down to the point that you can't withstand them any more. I see this happening to Shane I promise Shane gets hit to much.

    He might walk through them, only to get hit with another one...I'm looking forward to this fight mostly because of Brother Nazim and it'll be interesting to see what kind of strategy he will come up with to try and defeat Mayweather but I think Mayweather has too much speed and movement for Shane to cope with...

    There you go that's the best gameplan they can use right there.:good Make it a dirty fight and try and bully PBF. Shane has no chance any other way than this. He can't win a boxing match against PBF he has to make it an ugly foul filled affair to win. Even fighting like this it's no guarantee because PBF is a great inside fighter and can very easily walk Shane into shots he doesn't see.
