    I knew he was going to be bigger and all, but theres one thing that caught my eye, Shanes legs were huge too.

    He's got really impressive physique, I am getting more and more intrigued by the minute. :smoke

    Trying to judge physical strength using only appearance as a barometer I would say that -

    Floyd is significantly smaller than Shane in the mid and lower back as well as across the chest. Floyd does seem to have more thickness in his upper back across the traps compared to Shane carrying most of his width across his lats.

    Floyd seems to have a significantly smaller fist despite having only a slightly smaller wrist.

    Overall, it looks like Shane is MUCH bigger but with only a pound difference between the two, it might be a matter of Floyd having more density to his bones or more densely packed muscle. That said, it looks like Mosley almost came in with a '100 push-up pump.'

    Conclusion - Shane's definitely the stronger guy but his width across the chest and shoulders and lower + mid back aren't conducive with great upper body movement, quick feints etc. Looks like he is going to try to outhustle Floyd. Can't see much to his tricep either - looks like he's built for attrition than explosive punching.

    You're the same clown that said Pac looked scared of Cotto at the weigh in and that he would run from Cotto during the fight and we all know what happened there dont we.

    Yeah, I wanna take a look at that. People think of taking a punch as just the obvious thing - the chin, when the chin doesn't have much to do with it. It's all in the calves, core and traps/neck!!

    Looked the same to me as always. Floyd looks more pissed then ive ever seen him which to me is a sign of being nervous more then a guy tripping up a bit on the steps. If you are looking straight ahead when walking anything can happen.

    Watch my comment and go watch the youtube clip, Shane clearly has bigger legs.

    And if it was all about legs, then Thomas Hearns wouldn't have been the banger he was at 147lbs, surely?
