My take on Mosley-Mayweather.

[ThunderWolf]

Not to mention the fact that Margarito was tailor made for his style. Slow, straight forward, plodding, and no defense. He did not do the unthinkable. Margarito was never the monster they made him out to be. Go watch the Margarito vs. Clottey fight. Joshua Clottey was putting serious hands on that boy before he broke his hand in that fight.

Shane`s short, fast triple jabs may blind Floyd, rendering that shoulder defense useless, and may set him up for a bomb.

Shane can also fight rough and dirty, so we really don`t know what to expect.

I can never predict Shane Mosley though, he is really itching for recognition. He wants to shock the world by beating Floyd. That kind of fire, after marriage breakup and being booed by the Mexican crowd made him do the unthinkable to Margarito.

Who knows what Floyd is up against...

Everybody talks about how bad Shane wants this. But you haven't mentioned the 0 that Mayweather loses if he loses this fight. You don't mention the enormous payday he loses with Pac. The hunger to win this fight works both ways so I don't really put that into factor.

But regardless of how bad Shane wants it, if he ain't got the talent to do it then his heart isn't really a threat.

this is a really good thread! i appreciate the pure boxing talk. but imho, i think people think too highly of may. but i do understand why. may was an artist in the lower weight classes: i too was amazed, but he is about to fight someone his equal or better in every facet of the game, except defence. what shane lacks in d, he more than makes it up in desire, inner strength, and hustle.
