Shane now has the tactical advantage over Floyd, Floyd is going to get very worried as this fight gets closer and he'll probably throw some stunt to pull out. Physically Shane has more than Floyd. With Nazim in his corner things change in an absolutely huge way compared to when Shane fought Cotto. Shane actually has a strategist who will give him a gameplan which will probably work and do Floyd in. Twice.
Yeah, yeah, I get you man. I'm not saying Mosley aint a top class fighter. He's fought everyone, but the timing of this fight is wrong for him IMO. He's too old, and needs a fighter in front of him to look great. Stand with Mosley and he normally hands you beating. You think Floyd is gonna be there? How does Shane move forward to get in range to hit Floyd? My guess is that pawing jab, following by either the right hand to the stomach or the looping shot around the side. I can't see ANY of that working. I think Floyds body work will ruin Shane in this fight.
We have the fight, and I know if proved wrong you will log in to ESB with your normal account and play it all off, Obviously this is an alias account based on numbers of posting and how long ago this was registered. Scar is that you? Either way we have the fight, and if Floyd gets whipped I fully expect you to be here but I know you wont. Explain to me this how is Shane going to be an easy fight, when DLH was not..... a single point SD over a well aged Oscar to me indicates that likely Shane is going to be in this fight and is a very live under dog here. What shane does have going for himself is that he has fought legit top notch welters that were legit threats, what has Floyd done other than Oscar? Experience in both big fights and against legit challengers is going to play a huge factor in this fight, so when reality kicks you in the ass, be sure to come back here and fess up like a man.
Cotto outboxed him. He gave up some of the later rounds because he had it in the bag and that's the only reason it was so close. If you listen in on Mosley's corner in between rounds, you'll hear Shane's frustrations. He wanted to go to the body but kept getting countered, he kept trying to clinch but Cotto out-muscled him.
Mayweather will school Mosley. It will be a 8-4 or 9-3 fight, with Floyd giving away some of the later rounds.
I def See PBF beating Mosely...But then again i can also see Shane defeating Floyd Shane has what it takes Shane is arguably the fastest and most powerful Opponent Floyd had fought yet And Floyd is the most Skilled fighter Mosley has ever fought Now I dont think Floyd is going to beat Mosely EASILY...Im not saying its impossible now..Who knows?? Floyd probably will dominate Shane and if he does ...MORE PROPS TO HIM But I doubt it,I feel Shane is going to give Floyd Problems Im not predicting a winner..cause I just cant ...this fight is a Toss-up in my eyes
Nah, don't be silly man. I don't post very often but I'm here every day. I don't post that often simply because 80% of the threads are normally comical (You probably think this one is) I'm happy to admit if I'm wrong man, no problem at all. **** me, I'm 28, not 12. I got the Hatton-Manny fight all wrong and happily admitted it. Just do a search if you don't believe me. Ok, easy fight is probably an over-statement, but too many people here are acting like this is a 50/50 or even 60/40 in Shanes favour. IMO, it's far from that, I'd say 70/30 Mayweather. The trouble is, everyone buys into the last fight, but you have to look at the overall picture. I look at the style, the last few opponents, and the timing of the fight for each fighter. Ok, the Oscar fight. Let's flip it. You're now training Floyd for this fight. Do you honestly send him out with the same strategy against Shane? Of course not. Oscar has no right hand, so Mayweather just stayed in the pocket whislt Oscar flailed away. How many 'famed' left hooks did Oscar land? None, and when he tired, Floyd pushed forward. Now Mosley has devastating power in both hands, so will Floyd stay there? Of course not. He'll be on his bike all night, and Mosley won't be able to get set. Then if you add in the height and reach advantages Oscar had, you see the reasons why this fight will be completley different. SnR
What an argument. I think you should take a cold shower and come back to reality. Shane had a few nice wins against slow-handed fighter that were perfect matchups for hime. Now he's been waiting around for a big pay day and he finally got it. My guess is he turns in a half-hearted performance and retires 10 million dollars richer. He has no shot in this fight.
Do you have any idea how easily Floyd would beat an overrated, slow-handed, slow-footed fighter like Cotto? Cotto wouldn't win a minute of that fight.
Mosley has alot more than just a right hand, he has a double right hand over the top and a left hook, one thing your leaving out of this picture is that Shane does invest to the body and is a very good body puncher. all of this will be a factor in the fight. The double right hands are Key IMO, but so is the body work, Shane does have speed and he can hit with either hand, what he also has is a chin, along with experience against solid welters and Jr Middles who are much stronger than Mayweather himself. in the end its going to boil down to who wants it more, Shane IMO has wanted a fight like this since his rematch with DLH, and he is as we speak right now in fighting shape, he was prepairing for a fight against Berto who has an extremly high work rate, Now he is given a few more months to stay in shape but also adjust to the passive style that Mayweather brings. in the end when you look at it, Shane IMO will bring out the best in Floyd, weather or not Floyd can peal back enough of himself to pull out a win is yet to be known. What I can say is struggeling with a older DLH doesnt look to me like he has an easy win over Shane.... if anything fighting a blown up Marquez since the DLH fight and a 2 year lay off that spells disaster even Floyd himself has requested a rematch clause, obviously Floyd doesnt feel its going to be as easy as you suggest it will be.
