That's just it he's not gonna make him fight. PBF will fight his fight regardless. Hatton is the only guy who made him fight a fight he really didn't want to because of Hatton's ability to close the distance and you saw where that got him. PBF's uncanny ability to adjusts to all styles and to beat Hatton at his own game is what makes him so great. Mosley could never do that because he can't adjust. Not to mention Mosley doesn't have Hatton's footwork or footspeed.
Look PIMP, DLH confused people with the jab being a necessity. It helps but its not essential. DLH's jab was a P4P best in his prime and still decent against PBF. Anyone with such a good jab would give anyone problems. Why did Castillo do so well ? Because he was a rare guy at least the same size as Floyd, willing to take shots to get his own in. Castillo didn't have better footwork than Shane..sorry ! The idea is to have the chin to absorb in order to get inside and land ! Mosley has the hand speed to not only land inside and he can remain there, once there, because of his size and strength.
They can fight but I'm telling you now Shane will have nothing more than a puncher's chance in this fight.
If Shane can;t adjust why were his rematches w/ Forrest and Winky much closer the second time? Also, he DOES have a new trainer in Richardson, someone who's known to form good gameplans. You really need to stop saying **** like, "He can't adjust" or "He was outboxed" thinking he can't change. Obviously he can. Mosely doesn't have Hatton's footwork or foot speed? WTF does that even mean? Hatton just followed Floyd around. You really go out on a limb in defense of Floyd. atsch
pbf fanboys talk too much. pbf just needs to fight these fighters. margo. cotto. mosley. pac. end of discussion. sure, jmm has the combination to bother pbf. but the guy was 36 yr old lightweight. who is the guy with speed, power and combination to bother pbf. oh, yeah. juanma. i guess he should call out pbf next.
JLC did so well for a number of reasons 1. PBF was injured going into the fight. 2. This was PBF's first fight at 135. 3. JLC outweighed PBF by 10 pounds on fight night 4. JLC is damn good and often underrated here. You saw in the rematch what a healthy PBF could do he won the fight clearly. Lastly, I disagree with you saying JLC doesn't have better footwork than Shane, JLC could cut off the ring Shane can't he just follows people around looking for the big punch.
Obviously he didn't adjust enough or make the right adjustments if he lost the rematches. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades and this ain't either. Hatton's ability to close the distance is one of the best in boxing and he was very effective with it. How many Hatton fights have you seen? When the ref breaks his clinch he's right back on you like white on rice:deal That's why you would see him alot of times come in reckless because he could get away with it with lesser fighters. The boy got some quick feet.
Plenty of people would have had a chance especially at 147 Hearns, Pea, Forrest and SRL for starters.
-Funny you just said prior to this that Hatton was giving problems to PBF from his aggression but he just follows around too.. -Roy Jones was injured going in the Toney fight but he still schooled Toney.. -You're also underrating Mosley if you consider JLC underrated back then.. I don't know why you say Shane just goes around looking for the big punch, that was never his game !
