I have this feeling that this thing aint gonna be close....if Cotto can outbox the great Shane Mosely and make him look stupid at times...then I am afraid that Mayweather will have a very easy time of avoiding exchanges and box his way to a dare i say EASY decision making Mosely look his age in there.....I got new for ya'll 40 aint the new twenty....and Mosely will look 45 by the time the fight is over Let's go Floyd bust that ass!! I need to put up my keys to victory look for them by friday...I have not been active lately cause off my crazy work hours, but I miss you eastiders....Holla! Mayweather 9 Rounds - Mosely 3 Rounds, probably the first three rounds. mosely has a tendecy to get frustrated when he is not effective and frustrating opponents is Floyd's expertise .... I can go on and on but I don't have the time PBF UD!
The only way this fight ends up being one sided is if Floyd finds a way to slow down the fight and make it a boring fight, this fight is going to be close til the bitter end, Mosley has more on the line here and is not the type to allow this opportunity surpass him... I also think the Mayweathers added some pre fight excuses going in by showing the condition of both Roger and Floyd Sr with their illness along with Rogers Legal issues. if they really think Mosley is going to be a walk in the park if that is what they beleive I give them no chance to win, Shane mosley has not been a walk in the park for anybody....
he was a walk in the park for both Winky I and Vernon I, he improved against both in the second fight.............. fact
Thats true on both counts, However style wise Floyd is neither Winky or Vernon and is not likely to become them any time soon different style different attributes etc....
You have a point. The key for Mosley IMO is going to be effective body work and timing. I'm rooting for Mosley and believe this will be a close tough fight. I can't wait.
People likes to regard a fighter as renewed as soon as he fights someone who suits him stylistically, so he's all new when he looked good? I don't buy into all that, I say Floyd sticks a jab in his face, circles and does not engage too much, if at all. Floyd may lose a few competetive rounds, where Mosley gets the crowd going with missing 5/6 punches. But Floyd will find a way to keep on the outside, and make Mosley play the thinking game, where Floyd is almost invincible. Punch for punch, when it's one or two at a time, can nobody **** with Floyd. :-(
I mean gosh, Cotto who kept his leverage on his front foot took out two of the latest rounds whilst dead tired against a pressuring Shane Mosley, when he was on his bike! Floyd does not fold up stamina wise, and has superior balance and hand speed to Miguel Cotto. I expect him to make Mosley look really bad.
I also see this being a one sided fight for PBF. Boring or not Floyd will take mosely to school. Sad thing is he wont get any credit because everybody will just say that shane is past his prime and all the *******s will be coming out saying how pac is going to murder floyd.
Like I just posted in another thread, Ricky Hatton was able to bully and drive Floyd to the ropes and make it an ugly fight, he took Floyd out of Floyds game for a few rounds, doesnt mean Ricky won those rounds what it does mean is he made Floyd find another way to beat him rather than him pot shotting his way to the cards. Mosley is 100 times more skilled than Hatton and much much stronger than Hatton....:deal
Ricky Hatton made the crowd go ooh and aah by bullrushing, but he was catching flush counterpunches by Floyd all night long. Let's not get it twisted, Floyd outmaneuvered, outhustled and straight up outboxed Ricky Hatton from the very beginning to the very end, and knocked him out. Cotto leaning forward keeping his leverage on the front foot, was on his bike the last two rounds against Mosley, whilst dead tired.. and still eeked out those rounds by jabbing alone. I like Mosley, but he's going to get outboxed.
