    Yo Pimp C.

    Again I'm askin a question. Stop makin everything personal. I'm just reiterating what Shane said. Shane said his hands are as fast as Mayweather. Shane said he would box him.

    I just want to know if he can.

    I'm expecting Floyd to embarrass Shane at times. He'll dodge/duck/block and counter magnificently (as he always does).

    Thing is, this fight isn't going to be over until the bell rings after the 12th (unless Floyd gets KO'd). It's going to be a long 12 rounds for Mayweather and I'm pretty sure he's going to eat a clean left hook at some point in the fight.

    One clean punch from Mosley could change the entire fight. The foregone conclusion I think is that people think Mayweather will box himself to a comfortable UD, and it's certainly the safest bet, but the key I feel is, whats Mayweather going to do when he gets tagged? Will his game plan change? How?

    Guess we gotta wait for May 1st!

    yeah i agree about the dlh fight but it was only stunk out because maywether intentionally went to the ropes and allowed odlh to get some punches in.....

    when that fight went to the center of the ring mayweather was outclassing odlh big time.....everything landed....he would jab to his mid section and then throw the over hand right to the head or hook and hit the **** out of dlh...he couldnt deal with mayweather in the center of the ring....

    remember jim lampley or emanuel stewart saying "Mayweather beginning to operate like a surgeon"......towards the end mayweather was just killing odlh.....

    He can't and I told you why in my last post. I hope that Shane does what he says and really does employ this stratedgy because if he does this fight will be a shut out win for PBF.

    I believe he will....He has the speed to do it...but only at certain points in the fight...i believe Floyd will be able to mix it up and box at times just as I expect Shane to make Floyd fight at times

    Wouldn''t using the De La Hoya gameplan with his own size and strength and power be more desirable than trying to outbox a slick counterpuncher in his prime?

    It depends on who you are.
