As A Floyd Fan I'm honestly nervous

I'm curious as to what you base that on. That's the thing though. There's a distinction between having a chin and having one of the best chins as you claim. When you think of the best chins in boxing they go through just that, which is why it makes you say "wow, that guy has one of the best chins in boxing!" These guys that get the label go through trial by fire to get that distinction. I don't think he has a glass chin, I just couldn't say he has one of the best chins in boxing for the sole reason that I don't think he's been hit enough to come to that conclusion. If taking some good shots is all you need to have one of the best chins in boxing that's a lot of best chins in boxing out there is all I'm saying. agreed.... anywayz... lets all hope this fight gets done for the sake of boxing.. this was the second biggest fight that coulda been made :boxing:

Read post #15 & #16. Seriously though, does the guy have to be beat like a rag doll and take numerous clean blows to the head to prove that he has a chin? Thats not fair. He's had 40 fights, been in with some good punchers, and has takened some good shots. You cant say that he might have a glass chin just because his D is so great. Thats not fair to him That's the thing though. There's a distinction between having a chin and having one of the best chins as you claim.

Dont forget PBF nearly lost (some would say, he actually lost) to Oscar.... TS, you have valid reasons to be nervous lol at this clown.

...a little scared for floyd's life at this point, because shane mosley is a strong dude...I cant say that shane wont land that big right hand of his because he has the skills,speed, power to land it flush on floyd's face.. will floyd be able to take it? i hope so and i know hes alot tougher than most people think... but still i am kinda scared for his life..lol any other floyd fans feel the same way? haha Don't be scared your not the one fighting. Floyd will out box shane to a UD.

floyd will make mosley look like a bum, 9-3 on rounds :D

Dont forget PBF nearly lost (some would say, he actually lost) to Oscar.... TS, you have valid reasons to be nervous That's odd. Oscar and B-Hop were both praising Floyd as the best after his fight with Ricky Hatton. Nobody raised a stink about Floyd's victory over Oscar. Only you.

based on what?...................exactly Read post #15 & #16. Seriously though, does the guy have to be beat like a rag doll and take numerous clean blows to the head to prove that he has a chin?

Thats not fair to him

Dont forget PBF nearly lost (some would say, he actually lost) to Oscar.... TS, you have valid reasons to be nervous NO I'm not concerned at all, if Oscar can go two fights with Shane I'm sure Floyd can to. And Floyd doesn't need to be concerned of cheating for the simple fact that Olympic testing will be implemented.

You don't have to.. Floyd's not gonna fight him.

Stupid thread, this what boxingscene does not need. Crying pussies acting scared for a fighter.

This will be a tough fight for Floyd. Shane is an inch taller and has a couple inches of reach on him, and still has quick hands and lots of power. Oh, and a granite chin. Floyd has the skills to outbox anyone, but if anyone could catch him and hurt him, it's Shane. This might even be a tougher fight than Pac, just because Floyd would have 5" reach and almost 2" height on Pac, making it a lot easier to work his jab and force Pac to reach in on him. I hope this fight happens. Shane is still in good form.

NO I'm not concerned at all, if Oscar can go two fights with Shane I'm sure Floyd can to. And Floyd doesn't need to be concerned of cheating for the simple fact that Olympic testing will be implemented. Umm,homey,are u saying that the Oscar that floyd fought was as good as the 2 Mosley did??I mean don't get me wrong,Oscar & Mosley may be similar but Mosley's tank has alittle more & by the way the Oscar that Sugar beat at welterweight,stops ya boy floyd,for real!!

Shane looked spectacular against an immovable object in his last fight. That's not to say that Shane will not go in with a specific game plan against Floyd. I'm sure he'll be bringing his best game to the ring, and I actually give Shane more of a chance at giving Floyd more problems than Pacquiao would've. Shane is still high off of his dismantling of Margarito, so his confidence is pretty high right now. Let's be clear though. Unlike Floyd, Margarito was never a defensive minded fighter. So, Shane knows he'll be dealing with a defensive wizard who can give as good as he takes. Nonetheless, It should be a great fight for whoever wins it.

Wow, really??? he's like the flash... :lol1: I say that comment alot and I usually put the word "clean" but I forgot to put it this time. I seriously believe though that a prime Floyd is nearly impossible to hit clean by a righty. Is he still in his prime? Even so, will his inactivity hurt him? JMM did land a couple of good rights that you usually dont see Floyd get hit with and maybe Shane could hurt him with those but its still very hard to do

You cant not give Floyd credit for his chin. No doubt he has one of the best defenses in history but he's still been hit by some really good punchers flush and has never ever really been hurt besides the Chop fight and maybe a little against Zab. What do they have in common though? Southpaws. Pretty much anyone can get hurt by a Southpaw. I dont see any righty hurting Floyd though. I mean the man has had 40 fights. If you cant say that now then when can you say it? Everyone gets KO, dropped, or hurt bad and he never really has except for a couple of shots in the Chop fight

You should. Mosley will molest little Floydie in the ring....*no homo*

I'm curious as to what you base that on. me too.. i know floyd has a good chin.. but "one of the best chins" nahh i dont think so he's been stunned a couple times...ive never seen him seriously hurt or anything but thats because he rarely gets hit flush

Floyd in his prime is nearly unhittable by a righty. Shane wont land flush that much and when he does, Floyd has shown to have one of the best chins in boxing. It could be a tough fight but Shane wont run through Floyd with power shots. His D and smarts are too good for that I'm curious as to what you base that on.

i think this guy is really a pac-fan in disguise im a pac fan too.. so wat? besides this topic has NOTHING to do with pacquiao..lol why u bringing him up i'm still upset that manny said no to the blood tests... no professional athlete in my mind should say no to any drug test.. anywayz ya
