He was not when Oscar was in his prime. Oscar that fought Floyd was badly fading. But to Floyd credit he took a couple of left hooks and was OK. So I believe that his chin is from good to very good. Just my opinion but prime Oscar beats prime Floyd at 147 or 154
I dont understand? So you saying Floyd didnt handle Oscars power? to me it just sounds like everyone is thinking there is going to be a ko. All I'm saying is this will be a 12 rounder!
No, you misunderstood me. SHANE has the potential to knock floyd out. I can't even fathom floyd stopping shane. Some guys just have iron chins. If 200 left hooks from Oscar at 147 and 154 couldn't do it, floyd's limited output won't do ****. Floyd hasn't taken a square punch to the face from a Shane Mosley before, so this is the test.
He took like 5 clean punches from oscar the whole fight. Shane took 5 in the first round of their first fight. If Shane catches floyd square on the chin, there will be trouble.
yet u laugh at me when I say Floyd handled oscar :rofl:rofl:rofl I can own u all day, u can call me Pacman if you want too, whatever u like lucy:rofl
The only way for Floyd to KO Shane is by accumulation of punches if Shane grows old over night a la DLH. Still I think this is almost impossible.
Mayweather gave Oscar a boxing lessons. It should have been a wide UD, but Oscar got credit for flailing away and missing badly becasue he was the more popular fighter. And Mayweather took Oscar's jab away.
Agree with almost everything you say, but the Oscar that fought with Floyd was not even close to the one Shane fought. In the opening rounds, when Oscar and Floyd got tangled, and Oscar was hitting Floyd repeatedly with those lefthooks to the body and Floyd just smiled. At that point, I knew Oscar's power was not the same power that kept Mosley in check in their rematch or even the same power he used to shame Mayorga. I knew Floyd was going to win anyway, even at 154, but Oscar had lost alot of that snap in his punches by then. As for Mosley, as fast as he is, he does do this this bounce to close the gap and throw that lead right hand, but he usually also throws a left hook to the body after that. I'm also betting this should go the full 12 rounds, but if will be interesting to see Shane take those quick, check left hooks from Floyd, how he will deal with Floyd's primary weapon which is his jab, and how Floyd will handle Shane's body attack and right hand.
Shane doesnt have the defense of PBF and we dont know that Shane will have any more success than the 40 figheters before him catching PBF. Even if he does and it's a big if I dont know how PBF will be affected like I said I havent seen Mayweather rocked recently. It just seems like wishful thinking that PBF will be in trouble I see no evidence.
Give me a break, that was a 116-112 fight easily. Oscar had all the advantages too. Lets use your logic tho, how does one win a fight landing only 5 clean punches in the fight? I could count numerous clean shots that floyd landed on oscar. lets hear it lucy.
That's IF he catches him of course. Margarito has a literally non-existent defense. Mosley caught him with every right hand or left hook he threw. Margarito doesn't even know how to roll punches. He was turning his head into Shane's left-hooks and standing with his chin up in the air and head completely centered when Shane was bouncing right hand's off his head. Now of course Shane hit's very hard, but it's not as simple as 'He knocked out Margarito who has a better chin than Floyd so he can knock Floyd out'. The ability to roll punches takes a lot of the force out of them, so it's extremely unlikely Shane will be landing as flush as he did on Margo even when he is connecting. And then obviously there's the world-class guard, reflexes and footwork of Floyd.
Terrible analysis. There was nothing wrong with the DLH in the first fight. That sequence of left hooks ur talking about was while they were tangled in a clinch and only Oscar's left hand was free. He was just tapping pitty pat lefts hands to the body which fighters do something when they are in the clinch. It wasn't like Oscar was pivoting and throwing at full power. And Mayweather was smiling becasue the crown started cheering as if they actually thought Ocsar was doing serious work. Just looking at the way Oscar moved, and and the speed at which he threw his punches, he looked tip top. But once in there with a master boxer, who was quicker and more technically skilled, he was made to look bad.
