Does Floyd have enough pop to keep Shane at bay?

[-Boxzilla-]

yo perro u aint coming back to spam the hell outta teh 1st page with floyd hate threads again r u?!1

floyd may not have enuf power to buzz ssm cause frankly few do and besides the forrest fight i fail to recall a time when i've seen ssm hurt. but i think floyd should have more then enuf power to keep shane honest. pbf obviously isnt a big puncher at 147 but as his opponents always say the same thing, he has sneaky power that seems to catch up with u. and his countering/accurancy and ability to land punches u'r not expecting/dont will all help in ssm feeling those punches just fine.

He was able to limit JMM's output, but Marquez was a bloated lightweight and Juan is a counterpuncher anyway. I don't think Shane will allow Floyd to pot shot at a comfortable pace. He'll force and win the exchanges primarily because Floyd does not have enough power to buzz Shane.

He doesn't need power. Shane isn't going to rush him and try to smother and just out-**** him. That's not how Mosley fights. Mosley doesn't force anything. That's not his fight at all.

He's a boxer/puncher and will try to box with Mayweather but land the harder shots. Anyway, this fight will be one sided. Ten years ago, Mosley had a shot. As it stands now he will lose nearly every round. Guaranteed.

im not interested on this fight because i'm sure it will be a boring fight but i am excited on whose the winner between the two to face pac.

so it sounds like to me that you think Floyd is just super boring but Pac is good & exciting enough to make a Floyd-Pac fight exciting but you dont feel that Shane is good & exciting enough to also make a Floyd-Shane fight exciting? I just dont see how you think Pac will automatically make a fight with Floyd exciting but Shane cant

Mosley has nightmares about Floyd's jab.

I think Shane's main issue will be his own piss-poor jab because Floyd should be able to land straight rights at will over that junk. I don't care who you are or how hard the dude is hitting if you keep getting hit clean over and over it will deter you in some fashion.

I know Floyd not the strongest fighter but damn you guys be underrating his power so much is ridicolous... He has enough power and hand speed to demand Mosley's respect I can tell you that... Even Mosley can't get hit as clean and square as floyd hits you, too many times without it taking effect, and Floyd will definetly throw the shots that Mosley dont see

do you think 15/20 punches landed per round will have a too big effect on shane?

Floyd's power is severely under-rated-he has easily enough speed and pop to make Shane respect him...

If it the old Pbf, yeah. Broken hands and all. He managed to make Oscar doubt himself in going in.

Not sure now though. We'll see fight night won't we.

[damned1974]

Me either. I'm not really hot on fights where the outcome is certain. And I can't see any possible way that Mosley can beat Floyd at this stage. I thought he should've retired a couple years ago after the Cotto loss.

The outcome with this fight isn't nearly as certain as the Manny/Clottey fight....at least Mosely is at the top of the welterweight division and holds a belt-Clottey officially lost his last fight....where is the glory in that?

I agree Gamb. If he ever fights like in the Cotto fight, this would be a one-sided fight. But if Mosley let his hands go, we would have a FOTY contender.
