Kellerman.........

I'm not saying he was a saint, he could have handled the situation better. It's where his arrogant pompous attitude gets the better of him.

However, I was more annoyed with Floyd to begin with because I wanted to hear his take on the fight and he kept feeding us bull****.

 

Yeah I know. Something he does all the time though. I think if Kellerman handled it better we;d have definately gotten the viewpoint from him

 

Marquez was able, with his shorter reach, slower hands and shorter stature, to land a couple of right hands. If Marquez can have any success against Floyd, then Shane definitely can. He doesn't gas like Oscar, he can mix it up and, most importantly, he can throw hard, fast combos to take the steam out of Floyd.

There's a reason Floyd looked like he was bricking himself.

 

Yeah, a 'couple' of right hands. Literally a couple. And Marquez is one of the most accurate and precise guys out there and he tried everything. Sit there long enough and you are bound to catch a fish...

He can mix it up but Mayweather will just counter the ass off him and that would be the story of the fight. Mosley just doesn't have the movement to upset Mayweather. He's basically stand and deliver at this point, not to mention the fact he can't seem to string consistent performance together.

 

Floyd wasn't answering a goddamn thing. he ummed and ahhed, tried to talk about his sponsors and his seven figure sponsorship deal, then said he didn't want to talk about money or the weigh-in because that was the past. What exactly was the fight, Floyd: in the future?

And, because everybody is yipping on about this, the producers told Kellerman to go back to Lampley. They were worried after the Malignaggi interview about more swearing and more ranting.

On top of that, Floyd showed his usual lack of class: if he just answered straight rather than talking ENDLESSLY about nothing, it wouldn't have gotten out of hand.

 

TFFP like i've sadi somewhere earlier

Look at Mosely recently.

Looked superb against Collazo.

TAKES 9 MONTHS OFF

Looks poor against Cotto

TAKES 10 MONTHS OFF

Looks poor against Mayorga

TAKES 4 MONTHS OFF

Looks superb against Margarito.

its been 8 months since that fight. If he fights Floyd next it wont be till early next year which will be around a 1year layoff. He wont get a tune up coz by that time Floyd could have picked Manny. Mosely needs to stay active at this stage in his career. Floyd would pick him apart in my opinion. I fully agree :good

 

What I'm saying is that Marquez, with low output and zero advantage in speed or reach, could find the target. it wasn't law of averages, it was good timing. Mosley's very accurate and, bar the Mayorga fight, had given a decent run till that point (four fights or so) - the Cotto loss was incredibly close.

You've basically disregarded Mosley as if Mayweather is unbeatable. he doesn't like combo punchers with a fast jab - what's Mosley again? Add to that the fact he can crack and is an established body puncher - Floyd wants no part of him and never did.

 

ThreeThirteen - So you know that they told him to go back to Lampley do you ???? If so then fair enough you are in the know. But to me when he said "Jim" it was more of a request rather than it'd been ordered to him !

 

So poor that many people had that incredibly close? Wow - see your point.

 

Well, I'm not in the know - but it's not something he'd have decided on his own. The producer tells him when to cut an interview short, same as they clearly told him to clarify his position to camera right after he came out of the ring.

 

He looked worried as ****. Its my opinion that he chose to do that purely on his own merit. he said it twice to which says to me it was a request. If he'd have been told to do it they would have picked up on it the first time and wouldn't have had to repeat it

 

He was still speaking to Floyd after it - he didn't look too bothered by it. he certainly wasn't so intimidated to say "Shane - not now" like he was trying to cop a feel or something. I'll be honest, it was more entertaining than the 40 odd minutes that preceded it. It was a dreadful fight.

Thank god the Katsidis fight and the Cruz fight were entertaining, otherwise the whole evening would have been a waste. I also enjoyed the John fight, but the constant holding started to get on my nerves.

 

To agree with you there. Floyd looked superb however I was still pretty dissapointed he didn't go for the finish. I think if the weight hadn't have been such an issue he'd have finished it. I think he wanted people to talk about his superior skills rather than the fact he was far too big for him, which would have been inevitable if he'd have blew him out !

 

No, not as if Mayweather is unbeatable. I just think Mosley of all people has very little chance.

As for the Cotto fight, it was indeed very close (I had it 7-5 Cotto), and it can not be ignored that Cotto continued his shift towards outboxing and counterpunching against Mosley, which worked very well. If Cotto's jab and counterpunching worked he's got a hell of a job beating Mayweather which the extra speed, accuracy, and comfort in that style.

 

I don't like him, Im' just talking about the situation. I really don't think it is his fault.

He only said Pacquiao to try and get his attention.
