I always felt that one of the reasons Shane has been troubled by good boxers is that he telegraphs his punches with that "wash-woman" motion he does. He spins his hands like an egg beater, and then throws a punch.
Floyd , Sr. appropriately described it as "jittery".
Look at Shane's record vs decent/good boxers:
Oscar Delahoya: 12 rounds
Oscar Delahoya: 12 rounds
Vernon Forrest: 12 rounds
Vernon Forrest: 12 rounds
Winky Wright: 12 rounds
Winky Wright: 12 rounds
Fernando Vargas: 10 rounds (Gordo's eye gave out - never hurt)
David Estrada: 10 rounds (full fight)
JL Cruz: 10 rounds (full fight)
Luis Collazo: 12 rounds
Miguel Cotto: 12 rounds
Ricardo Mayorga: 12 rounds
The point here is that Shane hasn't ever really been able to put punishment on guys with boxing skills, because those guys can see his power shots coming - despite Shane's top-flight hand speed.
This is one of the main problem I have in envisioning Shane doing much serious damage to Floyd.
Do you guys think Shane telegraphs his punches?... or are they just too wide?
