    What Are Floyd's Thoughts and Your Thoughts....

    on Floyd vs Mosley or Pac? Basically my question is which fight do you think is harder and which fight do you feel that Floyd thinks is harder? Im asking because I think some will find it very strange for him to fight Mosley over even a so called steriod version of Pac because many think Mosley is the harder fight for Floyd for a good amount less money. You get what Im saying? Did he make the right choice? Who is harder for Floyd to beat? This version of Pac or this Mosley? Even if its close then you would think that Floyd would pick Pac because of the money and alot of people think that Floyd may own Pac but would have hell with Mosley. Thats just a little weird for Floyd to go that route.

    I will say this though. Everyone and I do mean everyone would have to give Floyd props if he was retired for 2 whole years and came back in his first 3 fights to beat JMM, then Shane, then Pac who people say are the top 3 in the game. If he did that then he cant be hated on ever again. I still dont see the fight happening on March 13th. What kind of sense would that make? Either put it on May 1st or bump the Hopkins fight to May 1st and let Floyd-Mosley take the April date. I just dont think it makes any sense at all to lose money fighting at the same time as Pac. Thats why I think there was talk of a guy lke Alvarez. This is a super fight. There is the 3 headed monster of Floyd, Pac, and Mosley. Mosley isnt quite on that level but he's the next best thing in terms of super fight so why cut all that money by doing it the same day and doing it so soon? I cant see it. Go April or May 1st

    Pacquiao is a much harder opponent to face. No offence to Shane (And I've said this before) he's an easy opponent for Mayweather to outbox.

      Yeah I could see that but some think the exact opposite. Some people think Floyd will box Pac's ears off like JMM did except alot better while Shane is big & strong enough to overpower Floyd. I still fear the fact that Floyd has been off for 2 years and only fought a little guy like JMM. The force from Shane could be a bit of a shock to his system. I also dont like the fact that Shane has ****m in his corner now. That dude will come up with a master game plan

        With ****m, Shane is gonna clinch alot more; clinch and pound away. What gets overlooked is that Maweather is a strong guy himself. Whitaker wasn't that hard of a puncher but he could move HUGE WWs around; same with Mayweather. Mayweather isn't gonna allow Shane to have his way with him on the inside. That isn't gonna be the main issue though because Shane's legs are no longer there and Shane's jab is garbage (No offense). Mayweather would outbox Shane and win in dominating fashion. It'll be easier then the Zab Judah fight. In my opinion, Mayweather doesn't view Shane as a threat. Pacquiao is a different animal though, especially at this stage.

          Sugar said something like it has to be the right fighter to beat Margarito. And he was the one.
          and Im absolutly shure that Shane is going to **** Floyd harder than what he did to Antonio. Smack that! HA.

            Lets not talk crazy now. Even if you think he's going to win, he's not going to destroy Floyd. His D is far too good for that

              Im very interested in seeing that part too, when Shane clinches. I want to see how they fight on the ropes or when they are bunched up in the center of the ring. Can Floyd dominate him in the pocket or will Shane bully him? Thats going to be the best part to me. I think Floyd will be picking off Shane's **** and countering with quick head snapping punches that make the crowd go ooh

                One thing I do see; because of Shane's durability...I see alot of people saying Mayweather vs. Shane was boring.

                  Pac is a harder opponent. He brings a quicker pace than Shane. Pac also has Floyd outgunned in speed, which he's never had to deal with, save for the typical 4 round surge of Zab. I still believe Shane has a chance, but not nearly as much as Pac does. Shane would have beaten Berto despite the layoff imo. He will lose to PBF though.

                  I'm anxious to see this one as I have been for years. I lost a truckload of respect for PBF when he fought Marquez. He can redeem himself by challenging Shane now.

                    call me crazy and a homer but I still hold out hope that now that Floyd has filled into his frame more, his younger more exciting style will come back. I think this fight and the fight he has with Pac later will both be exciting
