    Here's the outcome! Shane's coming out to try to set the pace and he'll try to bully Mayweather. He'll throw his power right hand punch,but Floyd will roll from that punch making it ineffective. Shane's jab is trash that won't be a factor, by the third or fourth round he's going to get tired. Look at the Margarito fight, Shane was tired and resting on Margarito alot. Margarito just showed that he has no boxing ability.
    Mayweather by the fourth or fifth round will start picking Shane apart similar to the way he did Gatti. Boxing,he'll easily beat Shane and win a decision. But I think Floyd's going into his bag of tricks in this fight and he's going to intiate a toe to toe match. When Shane throws his right hand,if he misses or hits,he's never in a position to come back with a combo,and once that happens Floyd's gonna mix his punches,some to the body some to the head. By the 7th 8th or 9th round for the first time ever Shane is gettn knocked out,either by a straight knockout or T.K.O. or his corner may stop the fight. Just watch and see

    That's some seriously dumb **** right there. That's the ONLY difference between Margarito and Winky? How bout the sizable gulf in skill, defensive ability, boxing acumen, etc?

    I hope so too... but the trouble is, Shane never really used a great hard jab from the outside too much... DLH always had a great jab (when he remembered to use it)

    Mosley needs to get that Ike Quartey-type punishing jab working early and often in this fight. :bbb

    Sure SM has the reach, but Floyd has shown a great snapping jab lately himself... so it's hard to say how that angle will play out? :huh

    There was nothing complicated about what Winky did that's what made it so funny to see Mosley look helpless. He was beaten with a tight guard and a stiff jab and Mosley had no answer for it. He couldn't adjust by trying to counter the jab or use angles he just kept doing the same thing over and over.

    Wrong again the differences between Winky and Margo are vast they're light years apart. Winky is a defensive fighter who works behind a tight guard and applies pressure via a strong jab. He was also an underrated counter-puncher. Margo on the other hand is a face foward brawler who lacks defense a or a sound jab but he makes up with it with loaded gloves relentless pressure coming forward throwing punches trying to get to the body. Two completely different styles two completely different fighters.

    Floyd will try to time in when Shane uses his long arm to set him up but I think he will set him up for that right hand right down the pipe as well as smashing it in as Floyd tries to lead first with his right. More back and forth movement from Floyd, more side to side jumping on his toes from Shane. Chess game all the way.

    I agree in part. Shane seemed to be much stronger than marga, whereas against wright, winky had the edge in the strength department. There were times when shane was easily pushed off by wright when shane got inside or attempted to clinch. Also the speed disparity between both wright and mosley, isnt as large as it is between mosley and marga.

    Wright's strength made those fights that much more difficult.

    All this "will Floyd take the risk" bull**** is getting agitating. I'm in the belief that if the fights on the line Mayweather will be willing to do what it takes to get the victor by any means necessary. That's just me though.

    Up until a few moments ago I felt the same way. Then I decided to watch shane's first fight with wright (without the sound) and noticed that winky's size , strength, workrate, durability, and high guard defense were probably more influential than his jab, in his victories over mosley. Wright pretty much won the fight by outworking and wearing mosley down. He really started using the jab effectively, late in the fight after he wore mosley down both mentally and physically.

    Shane was actually throwing a decent amount of leather and I was surprised to see that he hit winky more than I originally thought he did. But wright just kept on coming.

    right because unless you have 1,000 posts in a boxing forum you obviously know nothing about the sport right?

    that mindset is just laughable and you guys use it all the time :patsch
