Comments Thread For: Mosley Seeks Respect By Exploiting Mayweather's Flaws

[educator06]

the thing that's funny;;;;;;shane's fans can see the brilliance of pbf, but they cannot see the same in shane. like rome said, i too can see floyd in survival mode after 4rounds. please, dont label me as a pbf hater because i appreciate his gifts. i am proud that an african american male has made it to the top of the sport the way in which he has. i am apprecitive of this entire event. with that said, i know this is not the fight floyd really savers. this macth-up with ssm is stylistically wrong for floyd.

and mosley's career started at LW sooo is that the reason his resume is so lame

Floyd started at Jr LW and Mosley at LW. Name me some
elite fighters Mosley fought at LW. All of Mosleys biggest
wins and loses came at WW and Jr Middle.

[check hook]

Shane Mosely's off balance, stamina and wide swings will be his
downfall in this fight. Mosley likes to load up and let go but he
will allow himself to be countered. Sometimes Shane loses his
footing when he throws power shots. He couldn't afford to do
that and miss with Floyd. IF Shane Mosley beats Floyd
Mayweather Jr, he deserves all the respect he gets for the
win but think Floyd's conditioning down the stretch will win
him the fight.

Exactly right. Shane's footwork is good until he throws a punch.

Still i see a very close fight. I was not that impressed by what i saw of Floyd against JMM.

yes...so who do you think is the stronger fighter?

[check hook]

You people are crazy if you believe Floyd will be able to potshot Shane all day and still win this fight. Shane has a great chin and most power punches don't hurt him nevermind a potshot. Shane has fought much better fighters then Floyd its a fact. If Floyd fought all the people that Shane fought better believe he wouldn't still be undefeated. Shane is gonna beat Floyd if not knock him out. Floyd isn't a tough guy and doesn't like to engage or take any punches. Shane is a tough bastard with the heart and skills to match. He is gonna walk Floyd down. If Floyd expects to win he will have to fight like the old Floyd because potshotting will not get the job done. He will have to fight like the old Floyd and let his hands go. And if he does that he will really get laid out.

And you clowns act as if Floyd cannot be outboxed like its an impossible task. For anyone saying that check out Mayweather's fights against Hatton, De La Hoya, and Zab Judah. Floyd did adjust and win all those fights but remember Oscar and Zab ran out of gas. Shane will NOT run out of gas. And if Shane gets Floyd hurt Floyd is going to sleep. There is a reason Floyd didn't want this fight. Shane is a combination puncher with great hand speed and power. All of Floyd's shoulder rolling isn't gonna stop all those punches. Shane's best punches are the straight/overhand right, left hook upstairs, and left hook to the body. Floyd has a lot to watch out for.

Shane does not need to be hit hard to throw him out of his rythm.......the issue for Floyd will be the reach....both of these guys have unnaturally long arms.......harder to judge distance and use your reach advantage when the other guys arms are just as long......Floyd may find himself getting hit backing away and other times when he is not expecting it............

Floyd by decision!

Sounds like he means business SSM. It would be a great win for him though. Too upset the Pac vs PBF applecart. It would in a way ressurect his career again, even though he resurected it with Margarito in a way.
But PBF is another style again, and SSM has to figure a new puzzle out.

mosley and money both beat the same guy when they were on they way up in the lower weight classes in hernandez i'll give you that none of those guy's was on molsey level but honestly mosley would have beatin everyone floyd was in with in jr lw and lw so what are you saying by this money is yet to be in with someone on his level the close's he came to it was with goldenboy and that was not the same goldenboy who was in with shane not even close name me one fighter that money has been with you truly feel could hve beating mosley and be honest

Why do people insist on perpetuating this myth. Judah got his ass whipped by Mayweather and Oscar was lucky to have won 4 rds in that fight......he got outboxed easily and Floyd never even got past 2nd gear in offense.....he could not make Floyd engage........

The key for Mosley is to make Floyd engage to create opportunities. That way he can actually win. If he can't get Floyd to engage he will most certainly lose.

All Floyd has to do is come to the ring hungry and he will
beat Mosley because you can't half step on Shane.

I hope so. Hope Floyd comes to their May 11 showdown. Sugar Shane willl kick his Fraud azz!
