    In watching 24/7 I noticed that one of Shane's sparring partners (can't remember if it was Rock Allen or the other who's name escapes me) mimicked Floyd's shoulder roll and rather than throwing a straight shot, Shane looped his punch to get over the shoulder.

    I find this tactic very interesting in that it is the one punch that can get past that defense but it's done with a huge risk.

    I'm sure if I noticed this Roger has also noticed it also. Should they try that, I can see Floyd exaggerating his rotation even more and this does not bode well for Shane because he'll easily be open for a counter hook to the body or an uppercut to the head.

    The one thing I think Shane CAN and should do is to implement a lot of feints in his attack. Mayweather's timing is excellent and the more you can keep him guessing the better chance you have. I doubt we'll see this from Shane but it's one of the effective techniques I see working.

    Does anyone know who Mayweather is sparring with or have any rumors been leaked??

    Nope. Mayweather doesn't let anybody watch or know **** about his sparring. I will say this, Roger's mittwork is WAY better than Naazim's.

    Mosley always seems to loop his punches. The interesting thing is Richardson is trying to implement some strategy into the fight which makes it far better than Jack Mosley smiling and sending Shane into a meat grinder. I just dont think Mosley is capable of boxing the way its needed to get to Mayweather. I also think Richardson is underestimating how strong Mayweather is now. That Marquez fight in my opinion was purposely fought over 12 rounds. I think Mayweather held himself back to get the work in.

    Hi Southpaw:

    I'm a Mayweather fan and have figured out how to do the Mayweather Mitts as we'll call them. To me each has their benefits. Mayweather Mitt style contrary to what Ricky Hatton thought (lol) is more for timing and reaction.

    They do have patterns but a lot of it is improvised. It suits Floyd's style.

    One thing I'm not a fan of with Naz's/Shane mittwork is that Shane is too busy trying to throw power shots when he should be more focused on precision and accuracy. Leave that for the heavy bag.

    Regarding May's sparring partners, I know in the past he's sparred with James Degale who I think is excellent in imititating Mosley based on the size and strength advantage he has..

    That said, i think people put WAY too much stock into Shane's advantages(namely size/strength). It's not like they (Mayweather's camP)won't be prepared for this. For the record, I do think Shane has a chance but frankly I think this fight comes down to who's better disciplined Mentally and who can adjust more.

    Yeah that's a good observation. Mosley seems to be looping a right hand now that you mention it. I notice a lot of lateral motion and the discussion of lateral motion in his training and from Nazim. This is also a key to their gameplan.

    Floyd is apparently sparrin with steve forbes. If thaat punch does work floyd will change 2 a peek a boo style defense, lik winky wright, or get in close to mosley not allowin him room to land the shot.

    What the ****?Naazim pad work is how it is usually done, real punches. Floyd's pitty pat pad work is just good to keep his refexes intact, nobody would not recommend that to other boxers.

    The looping right hand is all wrong for the shoulder roll, Floyd will counter with a straight right hand. And I don't believe that is the strategy. The stategy is to box versatile, mix it up body and head, move out of range...that is what I thought Mosley's trainer said.

    I saw this as well. Shane has always had a good overhand right though it will be a punch PBF has to prepare for.

    Won't work. The key is to be versatile, that is what Nazeem said, switch from body to head, move out of range.

    The should roll defender wants you to lead with the right so he can counter with his own.

    It's worked before. It was what Ray Leonard used on Mayweather Sr.

    It's what Floyd used on Gatti.

    I don't know if Mosley can use it against Floyd, but it has worked in the past.

    Mosley certainly has the speed to pull it off, but I'm not sure if he has the timing.

    Like other posters said, he'll have to use feints and get Mayweather in purely defensive position.

    I agree he should give feints but lets face it Shane is not the boxer Floyd is hence he should not try to out think him. Implement your attack and stay busy.

    Here's another problem I see for Shane. I was watching some of his lightweight fights and the difference between what he did then and now doesn't bode well for him.

    He moved his head more and he sat down less on his punches.

    I flat out do not believe ANYONE fighting flat footed can beat Mayweather. So if whats being suggested about lateral movement from Shane is their plan, he has a better chance.
