Sure it does, that is why you don't link it alongside what you originally griped about.

Because it OWNS that argument, and makes you look insecure.

Your next argument will be the following:

My emphatic dismissal of other people's arguments is really a sign of my insecurity.

No Rudyard it is a sign of my confidence.

But come May 1st I am either correct or wrong. We will see.

Homie, I'm far from insecure...I'm confident that Floyd will outbox Mosley VIA 12UD...Hell I even bet real money on this fight so please cut the crap!:good

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this because you're not going to make come up off my opinion!

Bottom line is: Floyd doesn't take fights unless he feels there is a decided advantage in his favor, whether 'we' think so or not.

Floyd UD.

Floyds power is underrated,but yet over half his fights are by K.O. Half of 40 is (20) and Mayweather has (25) K.O.'s do the math. His first few fights as a pro was by bodyshots,he knocked one guy down with a jab to the stomach,but he has no punching power? He's hella stronger now than he was as a new pro. Shane has no legs! Look at the Margarito fight and you'll see he was resting on Margarito alot in that fight,when has PBF ever rested on a fighter form be'n tired. No later than the 9th round PBF will win the fight,either by a straight up K.O. T.K.O. or Shane's corner will throw in the towel

First off this fight has been a long time coming and I'm happy to see that it's almost here.

I see this fight going two possible ways. The first will be PBF getting on his bike from the start and using his superior footwork, jab and accuracy to pick Mosley apart while he gives chase without cutting off the ring. In this scenario it would be a rather one-sided affair, one in which I couldn't see PBF losing but 1 or 2 rounds at most. Shane is good but simply doesn't have the legs to stay with PBF if he fights like this for a full 12 nor does he have any answer for a good jab as shown in many of his fights. Shane can't adjust and becomes frustrated he will then become even more reckless allowing PBF to land harder counters in the late rounds. This is the type of win that PBF won't get much credit for it if it occurs people will say two things one Shane was shot or or two PBF ran.

The second way I see this fight unfolding and the best way for Shane to win is this way. He must make this fight extremely physical he has to maul PBF holding him and fouling him as much as he can but while he's there work the body instead of head hunting. It's really his best option and hope while he's doing so he can tire PBF out and land something big. With that said there are three problems with this tactic. One PBF has great stamina and never tires. Two PBF is a great inside fighter he's very adept at walking you into shots you don't see on the inside. Three PBF has underrated strength it's not as easy to muscle him around as most people think. Another thing Shane must do, is that when this fight is in the middle of the ring he has to show a jab even a pawing one will be better than nothing at all. I've said this 1000 times you won't beat an elite defensive counter-puncher like PBF without one. You must show a jab to keep him honest and disrupt his timing. He must also feint and throw the overhand right behind it not being predictable which Shane is known for is also key. He can't fall into bad habits like no head movement, squaring up and throwing arm punching winging shots PBF is too godd and will take advantage of him and counter him or beat him to the punch all night long if he does so.

In the end I see PBF being too much for Shane who can really only beat PBF by KO. He won't win a decision. So PBF by UD is the smart pick here.:deal

How can an opinion be forced on anyone? Insecurity Rudyard it is a terrible thing.

The answer is it can't. The opinions will be tested come May 1st, either you are right or I am.

To answer your question about counterpunching. Shane hasn't fought anyone in last couple of fights who is what "you guys" would call a counterpuncher by trade.

But you do realize that even Margo.......yes Rudyard.....even Margo counterpunches. What tactic does he utilize. Margo tries to abosorb your shots on top of his head while at the same time THROWING PUNCHES UNDERNEATH TO THE BODY IN UPWARD ARCS.

I know you don't consider that counterpunching........wait isn't counterpunching when you slip a punch and then make the other guy pay?

No Rudyard that isn't the only way to counterpunch.....you simply have been watching way too many movies and listening to too many know nothing broadcasters.

Also if you were watching the spanish language version of the Mosley-Margo telecast you would have heard them say very early on that Shane is TAKING AWAY MARGO's COUNTERS TO THE BODY.....better than anyone they had ever seen.

Now with regard to how Shane will take away PBF's movement the same way HE SHOULD HAVE AGAINST COTTO:

By UTILIZING his reach and not falling in and forgetting about distance. When you are taller YOU DONT NEED TO STEP FORWARD.....you STEP SIDE TO SIDE AND USE YOUR JAB. You USE YOUR FOOTSPEED TO JUMP IN AT TIMES. But you remain aware of distance at all times.....he wasn't doing that against Cotto. Shane was standing up tall in "no man's land" at times with Cotto that is why Cotto seemed to surprise Shane with his speed.

It wasn't speed it was improper DISTANCE!

Shane can change the dynamics of the fight by giving lateral movement of his own. Do you realize that in the Margo fight Shane was always changing distance.....but he wasn't bouncing on his toes.

Why wasn't he?

Because Naz knows that bouncing on your toes wastes energy and you should just be sliding side to side and shuffling to and fro. Shane doesn't need to be bouncing all over the ring.

He just needs to give shifts in distance via side to side movement and occassionaly taking steps back to walk PBF into counter hooks and or right hands.

We can't change each others minds. We have different opinions. I am saying yours is wrong. I am either correct or I am not.

Come May 1st we will no which of us is correct.

Unlike the cotto fight, where mosley underestimated cotto, naz and mosley's respect for mayweather's ability, I feel, is going to ensure that they are prepared to implement a well thought out and efficient gameplan.

I think quite a few folks are going to be surprised. If mosley's footspeed and general quickness have not eroded significantly, Mr Money is going to have a long night.
