Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Mosley To Be Announced Soon

[jrosales13]

I will find later....i am at work currently....so should not even be on here.....but im sure u can clarify with a google search......


You are right he got a second wind in the later rounds....but he looked very tired from round 3 to round 7 or 8...which i though was ridiculous.....

I found this link from the NYDailyNews... but it says he used it for the light middleweight bout. And, that was the rematch

Everything that comes up goes straight to him using prior to the rematch with Oscar... Nothing shows up about him using in the first fight... And, I don't ever remember hearing about his using for the first fight at WW... But, if you find something let me know...

a punch landed counts, true they didnt all get in but mayweather definitley got tagged, he was out of his comfort zone, its begs the question how would he have done against a prime oscar.

A prime Oscar @ 147 is a different story.....that would be a very very close fight because Oscar could actually force Floyd to engage and fight......Floyd didn't even get out of second gear in offense...a prime Oscar would force him to go through his offensive arsenal......

You mean as soon on as Floyd saw an opportunity to fight Shane he took it??

Your proving my point.

lol..good one

It has to happen. We all know Mayweather pretty much had his back against the wall when news was out that Berto isn't fighting Mosley anymore. The fact that fans dont care too much about a Pac-Clottey fight does not mean that Pac is not fighting a "credible" opponent.

When Berto pulled out that automatically opened the door for a Mayweather-Mosley fight. Mayweather knows that he needed a TRUE worthy opponent to fight and that will sell. Say Mayweather wins (which I hope he doesn't because I am rooting for Mosley) and Pac wins against Clottey. Then they have no place to go but to each other for that FAT chunk of dough$$$$.

But I do think that Mayweather gets a lil more credit for taking on Mosley.

Lets just hope its gets OFFICIALLY announced and then the fight IS ON!!!! (Mayweather-Mosley that is)

[seebert]

But I thought Floyd was a *****???

Jrosales remember when you told me Floyd wouldn't fight Shane before Pac??

No. You were right. He is a *****. Just a cornered *****. Its like Mosley, Berto and Paquiauo set him up. If it wasn't for the horiible Haiti thing I would sware it was a setup.

@ jrosales...

Floyd vs Shane?

I like Floyd Mayweather in this fight... I don't think is going to be an easy win from Floyd by any means... I read people thinking Floyd can stop him or win an easy decision but I don't see it... I think Floyd can get shook early on by the strength of Shane... Is been like 3yrs or even longer that Floyd would be fighting somebody who is a just as strong or even stronger than him... So is going to be interesting how he handles that... And, I do wonder if Floyd lost a step... I am not a 100% sure about his reflexes... he got hit by some right hands from JMM that he normally does not get hit with... I don't know if he couldn't get out of the way from JMM right hands due to being rusty or due to his reflexes not being what it used to be... I think Shane will answer those questions...

Now it has been a while since Shane fought somebody that is as quick as Floyd, and Shane has had trouble with fighters who have a great jab. And, Floyd was a great jab one of the best in the sport... And, I am not sure how this long layoff will effect Shane. He will be off for 16 months, the longest of his career. I don't know if he will have some rust... I mean you go in there with a great sharp fighter like Floyd rusty. Then that is a recipe for disaster...

This is the best fighter Floyd has fought since Castillo, maybe ever... I could see Shane with his strength and over hand right giving Floyd problems early in the fight... but, I think Floyd at the end of the day is quicker at pulling the trigger and will be the sharper of the two. And, he will pull it away late in the fight with his speed, jab, and defense... I got Floyd winning a close decision...

But, the X-factor will be ****m Richardson... One of the greatest mind in boxing. He is a chess player, can he do the unthinkable and come up with the perfect gameplan to beat Floyd? That to me will be interesting... Will Shane fight ala Hopkins and turned this into an ugly one punch and grab, clinch, dirty type of fight... Will he use a lot of clinching to interrupt Floyd rhythm? Only time will tell...

But, I am excited about this fight... I think it will be a close... credit to Floyd for taking it... And, I think Floyd will win a close decision...

How do you see it?

thank you floyd..thank you

Maybe somebody from his team read your letter... Us boxing fans should be thanking you...
