    I've had a friendly argument for a while now. I think Oscar is more powerful than Shane - as evidenced by their common opponents.


    What Shane brings is

    Zab's speed
    Oscar's power
    Oscar's size
    ...and Gatti's boxing intelligence.

      Gatti's boxing intelligence? Why do you say that?

        He brings power and years of experience, that's about the only advantage he has.

            This fight should have already happened. Don't care to see washed up Shane take on Floyd now.

              mosley is a speedy-brawler but can box on his toes if he has to (but that's not his best stuff imho). mosley can't adjust in the ring based on his opponent's tactics.

                  Shane has never met a boxing strategy that he can execute.

                    Have you only seen Shanes fight with Margarito. Steriod Shane has looked like **** for years.

                      Mosley would be fast enough to stay in Floyd's face all night, and has the power to knock the block off anyone at 147. He would make Mayweather let his hands go and fight which no one has made him do since the Castillo fight.

                      I don't think Mayweather can do that anymore. The fact Sugar Shane is a brawler works to his advantage here, he won't try to outbox Pretty Boy. People assume because Cotto outboxed Mosley Floyd would do it even easier, I don't see it that way. Mosley was nailing bombs on Cotto that Mayweather wouldn't be able to handle, even if he only got hit with half of them. Also, Cotto wasn't just boxing, he was nailing big hooks on Mosley that made Sugar Shane back up, which Mayweather can't compare to.
