Im OK with Shane Not Fighting Floyd!!!!!

DLT19y ago

I didnt know that Shane planned to move back down to 147 after the Vargas fight. I had heard that the Floyd-Mosley fight may take place at 147 but I said there is no way Shane would do that because the weight is his biggest advantage. I read where Mosley said that he wont fight again this year and wont fight Floyd for a couple of more fights but I never heard why. Now they say that its because he is moving back down after the fight and he wants to get use to the weight again. Thats why he wont fight again this year. Im ok with that and I think its a good move. There are very hard fights at 154 and for less money. He can go down to 147 and fight smaller guys for big money. I also think its a good move because when he moved back down to 147 last time he looked like crap in both of his fights and he actually looked better at 154. If he can fight at 147 like he did against Vargas then it will be interesting. I wonder will he just not fight Floyd right now or will he not fight any big name at 147. I have a feeling that he wont fight Floyd or Margarito now but he would fight Hatton & Cotto. Overall I think he may fight a solid guy. I wouldnt mind seeing him fight Callazo or maybe he can fight a good fighter but a smaller guy like Castillo. That would be a very exciting fight. Maybe even a fight with Zab which they have talked about for a long time. How do you guys think he does at 147? Who will he beat and who will he lose to? Forrest last year was also talking about coming down to 147. Everyone knows where the money is and this could make for some huge fights if the guys step up. The only big money guy at 154 is Oscar and he's only going to fight Floyd. NO one wants to fight dangerous guys like Spinks, Karmazin, Winky, and Ouma for low money. Vargas makes big bucks but he probally would never fight a guy like Vernon. 147 is about to get real special.

Dude you say the same thing all the time but you dont back it up with any facts. I want you to name me one guy Floyd has ducked. Name one. You cant say Margarito because Floyd hasnt picked a different opponent yet. His resume is already better then 90% of the fighters in the game. At 130 Naz turned him down, at 135 Lazcano turned him down, at 140 Freitas, Hatton, & Cotto turned him down, Gatti turned him down for the longest until he had to fight Floyd, at 147 Oscar has now turned him down, along with Hatton, Cotto, Shane, & Vargas but yet people try to say Floyd didnt fight these guys? Its a joke. Give me some names, stop just making up shit, and please dont try to act like your boy Hatton has wanted this fight so far i aint arguing that mayweathers resume is better than most other fighters,i aint arguing whos turned him down (exept hatton cause hes never offered the fight to him in the 1st place) but floyd isnt exactly crying out for these big fights is he. hes a buisiness man making money of hes talents whilst he still can which is smart but jeapradising hes legacy down the road. the margorito fight got offered to him for $8m he rejected it looking for oscar , now oscar isnt fighting till next year there is talk of him fight cintron. until i hear that hes fighting margorito next he is simply ducking him

Mayweather beat the fastest left-hander boxing has seen in years. What makes you think he can't beat a guy who is slower and hits about 1/10 as hard? Mayweather would stop Spinks by the 10th round, I'm tellin ya. He might but I also think he could lose. Zab is faster and hits harder but Spinks is also very fast and he's a natuarally big guy. Did you see those shots he was hitting Karmazin with? Alot of those had some sting on them. Its like Callazo not being known as a big puncher but still pushing Hatton around because he's a naturally bigger guy. Then you add to the fact that Spinks is much smarter then Zab, way more fundementaly sound, and has been much more consistent. Also, did you see Karmazin's face? Dude is a bad boy and Spinks still beat him and landed some heavy shots on him. Dont act like Spinks isnt a elite fighter. You have to be bad to beat Karmazin right now. You probally think Mosley would beat Spinks because he's faster then Karmazin and hits just as hard if not harder but its still different because he doesnt present the size problems Karmazin. Thats what I say about Floyd. You cant say he will win just because he's better then Zab because Zab presents more problems to Spinks because he is also a lefty & he is bigger then Floyd and has more power

but spinks falls into the category of a mayweather fight. been beaten by a fighter that is no match up for floyd or floyd has beaten , a easy title to take and easy money Dude you say the same thing all the time but you dont back it up with any facts.

Alot of you seem to think it is so easy to beat these slick lefties but its not. These guys are hard as hell to beat. Sure Zab beat him but thats because Zab can netuarlize all of Spinks advantages because he is also a lefty, is faster then Spinks, and hits harder. He is also a naturaly bigger guy the Floyd. Karmazin gave Spinks trouble because he is 2 inches taller, he looks like he has the arm length of a 7 footer, he is a natural 154 pounder, he's quick and powerful. Spinks is not a easy guy to beat and I said it before and Ill say it again. Spinks would fairly easy beat Vargas, Mosley, and Margarito. Floyd could dominate him but Floyd can also lose this fight. Margarito is just a big strong guy. Floyd doesnt have to do anything special to fight him. He knows what Margarito is going to do and he wont have to do any special game planning. It takes time to get in the ring with a Southpaw who is always moving, always going away from you, is quick, and has good technique. He is also a much bigger guy then Floyd.

If Mosley could come back down to 147 and be faster then he is at 154 & still have power then he could do well at WW. I don't think it's a bad idea for Mayweather to fight a big WW(Margarito) or a warm-up fight against Vargas just so he could get use to the weight(which i think would be his biggest problem against DLH).

I don't know why anyone thinks Spinks would give Mayweather any trouble. Mayweather is at least as quick, punches harder and most importantly lasts A LOT longer. Judah wore this guy down. After about 5 rounds, Spinks would be gassed and then Mayweather would just cut off the ring and finish Spinks off. like i said typical mayweather opponent

I think Floyd could fight Spinks and would beat him but I still think that fight is a little to dangerous for Floyd with not as much reward. He wouldnt make as much money and in alot of ways I think it would be a harder fight then Margarito anyway because of his style. I say he definatly fights Margarito unless a miracle happeneds and he gets a fight with Vargas but I dont see it but spinks falls into the category of a mayweather fight. been beaten by a fighter that is no match up for floyd or floyd has beaten , a easy title to take and easy money

Mayweather should fight Margarito, Mosley, Hatton, De La Hoya, and maybe even Spinks now. All very interesting fights.
