My point is that Shane has shown that he can be outboxed(Forrest 2x, Winky 2x Cotto and Oscar), Pac has shown he can be outboxed(EM 1 & JMM2x) Cotto it is yet to be seen if he can be outboxed. That's why I say he's the best fight for PBF stylistically because he has the best overall boxing game of the 3.
Forrest out boxed him the first fight, the 2nd could have gone either way. Winky Wright was the far bigger man and imposed his will on Mosley for 2 fights. Mosley showed heart but was too small for a big master defensive P4P like Wright. I agree he doesn't adjust, I agree jabs cause him trouble but good jabbers cause trouble to anyone if you understand anything about boxing !! DLH and Forrest were 2 excellent jabbers, I hope we agree..... Past it DLH's jab against PBF...remember ????? Mosley is considered a boxer/puncher, which means he likes to fight from the pocket and unleash. Of course when you prefer fighting like that, you will get hit, but in the end, normally if you hit more than you get hit, you win !! Mosley got into the Cotto fight thinking Cotto wasn't gonna do anything different from what he did previously, therefore he didn't expect the jab to be an important factor.. I repeat...Mosley said afterwards, he regrets fighting the wrong fight, and its not because of what Cotto did !! PBF should beat Mosley but Shane can make it close if he lets his assets work for him, while being the bigger and stronger man !
Can we at least wait until nov 14th until we vote. I would love to see Floyd v Cotto first. then Floyd V Pac, then if those dont work Floyd V mosley
atsch What a ****in simple outlook. Who gives a **** is you think Cotto hasn't been outboxed. He was beaten IN A FIGHT. Boxing isn't about showing who's the better boxer, it's about beating the guy who shares the ring with you. Besides, all that says is those guys beat Shane. THOSE GUYS. NOt anyone who can box. ****, ANYONE can be outboxed or knocked out against the right opponent genius. Maybe that's why Floyd chooses the easiest opponents while others face stiff tests.
I guess you forgot we were talking about Shane Mosley's boxing ability and why I said Cotto was the hardest match up of the 3 for PBF right?atsch
No one will beat PBF trying to outbox him !! Wake up **** !! The guy that will beat him will need to be at least equal in size and reach. He will need to possess a good chin to get hit once or twice while getting inside and then use good overall quickness & hand speed to land combos once there !
No, I know exactly what we were talking about. You act like just because Shane was outboxed in big fights, he'll get outboxed in all big fights.
We'll that's his track record isn't? What am I suppose to assume? That he'll all of a sudden turn into Pea Whitaker overnight?
That's his track record versus THOSE GUYS. Don't you get it? You can;t make blanket statements like that. Shane has much faster hand then Cotto, and a much better chin. He'll take chances to make Floyd fight where Cotto would try to outbox him. THAT is why Shane is seen as a bigger threat.
Shane isn't the guy to do it man. He's far too limited now and days. PBF will turn on his ass all night long and make Shane's workrate drop like he does to everyone else he fights while in return landing nearly 50% of his shots. Hell he could stay on his bike and pot shot his way to a easy UD win and there would be nothing Shane could do to stop it. He doesn't have the footwork and jab to do it.:-(
:deal Outboxing Floyd from the outside isn't the way to beat him anyway. Mosley can get inside and impose himself with his size and quick hands !
I think Cotto should be seen as the bigger threat. Cotto has proven he can nuetrelize speed. watching shane vs floyd would just be a replay of Floyd vs. zab
