De La Hoya , Chavez , Duran , Mosley and Whitaker

[KabukiJoe]

Shane has been hit alot in almost every fight. Shane has really bad defensive lapses... his chin allows it. But it also makes him susceptible to being outboxed.
I mean, Fernando vargas was boxing pretty even with Shane.

Someone of Shane's athleticism shouldn't get hit as much as he does.

...excellent post!!!!!...not many people notice details like that...so, why does someone like Mosley get hit a lot?...because he's not afraid of getting hit...Mosley is one of my all time favorite fighters and I rank him with greats like Haggler, Holyfield, Smokin Joe and the great Rocky Marciano...all of these guys came to fight...plain and simple...these guys all had HUGE hearts, and win, loose or draw, they came to fight, not run around and avoided getting hit...the problem with guys like this is they have a rough time with score cards because when you aren't afraid of getting hit, you get hit a lot and loose on the score cards...boy, if it was like it was in the begining, "til the finish", these guys would be unbeatable...

capable. of course he is. floyd is very skilled and capable of beating a lot of people.

but i'm talking about if you had to bet your money on it.

i think shane was spectacular at 135. floyd is a bad matchup for chavez. the prime , young 147 oscar would do much better against floyd than the recent outing.

Yeah, but these guys all weighed in at different weights when they were at their best. If they all met at 135, Floyd could beat all of them. The best Duran to me was when he beat Sugar, the best Dlh was when he beat Tito, the best shane was when he fought Dlh. The best Whitaker was when he fought at lightweight. Floyd would find it difficult to beat all of these guys. I'd only bet my money on Duran beating Floyd.

people are not always at their best when they beat their best opponent boof.

duran's and shane's best was at 135.

oscar's best was at 147.

chavez's best was at 140.

floyd's best was at 130 and 135. (i can't decide which)

against a limited fighter.


question: why does Duran get the "4 divisions above his natural class: excuse, but Floyd does not?
