would've been a lot better than the fight between them now. mosley was more energetic then and wouldn't have trouble reaching floyd with those long arms. shane's more accurate with his right than anything castillo can throw. if floyd won, it wouldn't be a shutout that's for sure.
i think people still picturing floyd with his running shoes
Below 140 floyd use to actually be the aggressor and still didnt get hit.. plus he had combos
Shane destroys Floyd at 135.
Nobody destroys Floyd at any weight, let alone 135 where he was near his best. His defense is just too sharp for him to get demolished. I think he wins it, but what a fight that would have been.
Floyd was a straight savage below 140!!But don't forget ,below 140 Shane was like a tractor playing chicken with a mini coopers,real talk!!That fight would have been fvckin awesome!!I believe Mosley was to big & strong & had equal speed down there though!!
Floyd was a BEAST at 135.
There is no denying that, but he used to actually stay in the pocket and bang with them, Shane loves fighting that way so im sure he would catch Floyd with alot of shots, not saying Shane would beat Floyd but at that weight he stood a better chance than now at this stage in his career. At 135 Floyd vs Shane would have been a war.
Hell yeah!! Imo, Floyd was alot more aggressive (not to mention hungry) before he arrived @ 140+. This is a great fantasy matchup. I think Shane woulda' beat him, but it's more or less a tossup...:boxing:
Shane had crazy speed at the lower weights, i think it would have been a war, Floyd used to bang in the lower weights, so we would have seen them trade alot of big shots. I think Shane would have hit Floyd and hit him alot!
Say this was the situation, would you be excited for this fight?
Hell yeah!! Imo, Floyd was alot more aggressive (not to mention hungry) before he arrived @ 140+. This is a great fantasy matchup. I think Shane woulda' beat him, but it's more or less a tossup...:boxing:
It would be just as one sided as this fight is going to be!!!!
Prime 4 Prime mosley don't even come close to mayweather. At 135 mayweather would murder mosley.
People have shot memories. Just think back at 135 mayweather was unbeatable!!!!!!!!!!! Not that anyone right now can beat him. But at 135 in his prime duran would not even touch him!!!!!
shane at 135 was a beast what the **** are you talking about this is a great fight floyd didnt fight anyone at 135 with the skill set that shane brought to the table at that weight.
floyd would dominate shane at 135, and 135 was shane's most successful weightclass---he had so many ko's at this weight---but he was more stiff than he is now----floyd struggled with jlc at 135 with an injury but that was his only really close fight----but against shane, floyd would outbox the shit out of him and he threw more combinations at this weightclass---he fought in the pocket a lot more---i don't see what version could beat floyd at all----it just won't happen---he will lose badly may 1st----shane was a monster at 135 though--but floyd is that rare fighter with a complete skillset---shane never was--he was just physically amazing, floyd is/was a purist in the ring---shane always struggled with boxers, even at 135-----he would lose to floyd at any weight---
