No hating or hugging, just picks. Floyd/Shane

[STEELHEAD]

Id say Floyd will win by majority decision. If you saw the Mosley-Cotto fight Cotto was able capitalize using the jab and by costantly throwing punches so Shane was like in a hurry to do something. Floyd is better than Cotto in every deparment and he just don't fade in the later rounds like Cotto. The reason Mosley-Cotto was a close fight is because Cotto faded in the later rounds and Mosley was constantly attacking him during the whole fight. It is true Mosley in the opening rounds wasn't as agressive as in the later rounds. If he is able to be agressive and smart the whole fight we might see a good fight but still Mayweather has the tools to overcome in the fight. I gave it a MD because Mosley will definitely will show his A game and im pretty sure it will be a competitive fight. I have scores 116-112, 115-113, 114-114 giving Mayweather the victory even though Im not a Mayweather fan what's so ever. I hope Shane make the correct adjustments to overcome in the fight.

you think if the improved mosley from mosley/margarito shows up and not the mosley from cotto/mosley, that mosley is going to ***** slap floyd all over the place and have him runnin!

Now that is true. Plus Oscar doesn't like being hit in the tummy (not after what B-Hop did to him), and once Floyd started jabbing that mid-section, Oscars jab was gone.

Boxing fans may in fact be in for a rude awaking come May 2nd....Or maybe just I will.

Nope,if floyd win by decision,that's what was supposed to happen,if by ko,then be shocked!!

I try to picture floyd being able to move & pivot & pottshot easily & just outclassing Mosley!!But it doesn't register with me!!It also doesn't make sense when people say the floyd is superior to Cotto in every way,that's not a fact,Cotto beat Shane with a good jab & punching power,plus he was undefeated & easily the best at 147,before being ruined by Margarito!!floyd simply hasn't been in with a big pressure fighter,Mosley is a far better pressure fighter than Oscar ever was,I am just too pumped for this!!

I think Floyd by decision. It will be controversial decision between if you favor aggression or defence and accuracy. I see Shane putting pressure on Floyd early and landing shots winning him rounds. Floyd will be catching him coming in but he won't be strong enough to tie Shane up like past opponents. Eventually Shane will slow down later in the fight and Floyd will potshot and out box him just like in the Cotto fight. It will be a very good, close fight.

Just to be fair, i have not seen the Cotto fight in some time (I have seen it three times though), but I remember it being sort of a war early, and then Cotto got on his bike (like he does when he can't KO somebody, sorry Cotto fans). I don't remeber Cotto clearly winning that fight. So if you say it will be a controversial decision, you may be right. Floyds style will allow Shane to look good, so you might be on point with that pick and insight.

Mayweather EASY win.

I see Floyd starting off with a jab to the body an head over and over because Shanes weakness is a goodjab and hes not skilled enouh to time them. Dont believe me watch the Cotto fight. Cottos jab owned Mosley and kept him at bay and uncomfortable. Floyd does not lead with his jab alot but against Shane as WE ALL KNOW Shane struggles with jabs and Mayweather has a good one.

I see Shane getting hit with that jab to the stomach and getting circled Constantly by Floyd who will not stop moving in this fight. Floyd has the footspeed to dart in and out on Shane and get off punches. I see shane having to sell out to get again and thats when I see him him tryng to bull rush Floyd on the insde during the clinches alot.

Mayweather Like I said will make himself a damn near immpossible target to hit by his constant circling and movement. After a few arounds Floyds lead right will start to connect and along with a jab that is the punch that Shane has no defense for. I think the handspeed edge goes to Mayweather IMO. Shane is fast but I believe in the Cotto fight...Cotto was as fast or faster.

Mayweather will be circling, pot shotting darting in and out and using the shoulder roll which basically gives righties a slim chance to land anything big. Mosley does not have the legs to chase Floyd and Floyd will make him look OLD. Shane will have his moments but they will be few and far between I see him throwing and the crowd cheering but they wont be landing effectively. Shane is a very wide puncher when he wants to be and after he realizes hes down on the cards hell look for ONE shot and then my friends thats where this fight wil get UGLY for Shane, because Floyd will tag his ass non stop and might even drop Shane a few times. No not because of power but because Floyds accuracy, speed, shanes aggresiveness, his wild swinging and the fact that he punches with his eye close. The punches that hurt are the ones you dont see and they can pout you on your ass.

Shane has a real dislike for Floyd but he respects him. In the ring I think Shane will be looking for that ONE punch that never happens as Floyd turns his face to a pinata.


Mayweather UD or late corner or ref stoppage. (Too many punches wil land Flush on Shane)

im picking floyd because of the age gap. I

still have doubts with mosley win against margarito with no wraps.

Age may infact play a factor. I also think a two year lay off, and a soft touch in JMM may also play a factor as well.

With that said, I will not be excepting any age excuses.

I want Mosley to win cause i want an action filled fight with him and Manny for the p4p title.

Hold on burner!!!

let me get to your first post playa...

[illmatickid]

at this point .. i think to some degree both fighters are rusty
I think floyd still has some ring rust that he needs to shake off.. im basing his "rustyness" by his standards though.. so is it really rust.. well not really.
i hope that made sense .. -__-
also i love shane mosley and i think he will definitely be a tough fight for floyd, im still curious as to see what kind of game plan ****m richardson will have for floyd, but yea i really think both fighters have a chance to win, im leaning more towards floyd though, i think at the end of the night his skills will help him earn the 12 round decision victory over sugar shane....he will be very cautious, especially against that explosive right hand of shane mosley that changes people's lives...something similar to the DLH fight but not entirely

[dwakal]

Honestly my friend its just my opinion. The reason I put this its because every time you post your pick on a fight everyone say im a fan os his but im not like this. I love boxing and I enjoy every fight that takes place no matter who is fighting. Although I agree with you on many points like I said its just my opinion.
