would floyd go toe to toe against shane.....

[El Castigador]

... if he does, would he stand a chance????

No he will not go toe to toe. Why would Floyd do something that decreases his chances of winning and increases Shanes?

I dont get it.

Yeah, because youve seen Floyd get hit clean so much. He has pretty much mastered his D against righties. I dont hardly see any righty in history being able to hit a prime non rusty Floyd clean. They can land but they are mostly going to be catching gloves & shoulders. I think you will be shocked in this fight at the amount of in-fighting and how hard it is for Shane to hit Floyd clean while Floyd is landing clean blows that everyone can see. Pac is a little different because he's Southpaw but after 4 rounds at the most, he wouldnt be landing much either on the inside. I truly believe that Floyd ends up walking him down over the 2nd half of the fight and stopping him whenever they meet up

Floyd walking Pac down would never happen. That's just ridiculous. Pac could be getting breathed on from getting KOed and still be moving forward.

What the hell makes you think Floyd is so unhittable? Ricky Hatton landed on Floyd, Castillo landed on Floyd, Oscar landed, Juan Manuel Marquez even got a good shot or two in on Floyd.

Floyd has mastered his defense with the style he uses, to think that just seamlessly transfers to Floyd brawling when Floyd NEVER brawls is ignorant.

great argument!

and to think pac is considered a tad faster than hatton, marquez, castillo and oscar....

Late in the fight when he has Shane timed down. He'll fight in the pocket like he always does

1st of all, I dont think Floyd reached his prime until the N'Dou fight but none of those guys hit Floyd much. The only guy in that whole group who landed anything is JLC. In the 2nd fight JLC didnt land I bet 10 punches the whole fight unless he held & hit. Even in the 1st he didnt land much. Its just him hitting arms and stuff is still more than Floyd not throwing at all. JMM? Get serious man. Again, stop trying to judge Floyd on a different level. Its like you see JMM catch him with one good right and now you think he hit Floyd. He didnt land nothing at all that whole fight. He basically landed like you said, 2 shots in a 12 round fight. Hatton? Come on man. He didnt land nothing on Floyd. Stop overreacting. Again, you act like you are counting all the blocked shots. Floyd isnt Ali or Sweet Pea. He slips some shots but most of the time he is about blocking them. You cant count those. Hatton or Oscar didnt hit him with anything. The only thing Oscar landed at all was a jab.

Some just think it was close because Floyd has been pot shotting so much at WW and his opponents usually throw more so even if they land 10 on the arm, some think its better than Floyd landing 4 clean blows. I want you to rewatch those fights and show me how many times he got hit with any clean significant blows. It doesnt happened. You may get a handful if in a 12 round fight if youre lucky. You might get 10 non blocked shots in 12 rounds but most of them wont even be significant. Im not saying Floyd is going to brawl with Shane but he wont be running and there will be times in this fight where he will sit down with him in the middle of the ring and on the ropes and I bet anything he wins nearly all of those exchanges.

EM also forced Pac back in that 1st fight and dont act like he's fought someone who is skilled enough & big enough to do it. Floyd can walk his ass down and I bet he does it from the 6th round on before stopping him late after he has broke his ass down

Actually I think in this fight he will fight in the pocket in spurts. The reason I believe this is because this will keep him inside of Mosley's looping punches. This way Mosley won't be about to jump in with his punches either. This gives Floyd the clear advantage with his straight accurate punches and defense. Floyd is not trying to see if he can take Mosley's punch but he knows he will get hit. He is not worried though. The first five rounds Floyd will have Mosley moving around a lot trying to get his offense off. He will find out quickly that it is harder to get his punches off in the ring then on the tapes he watched. His legs will get tired and his frustration will grow. Once that happens then it is boxing 101 from that point on.

JMM was landing on Pac at will. And to think Floyd is bigger, faster, stronger, hits harder has more accuracy, and is a better counter puncher with better reflexes then JMM.
