Comments Thread For: Roger Mayweather: "Mosley Can't Outbox, Beat Floyd"

[Sugar Q]

Roger just gave the blueprint. And Mosley's jab WILL trouble Floyd.

Wow can you imagine a disciplined Shane that doesnt want a war just fighting behind a very disciplined jab? Wow, that would be something but back to reality that aint gonna happen. Shane is at the end of the road and he's a warrior. Like he said he wants to knock everybody out that's how he approaches every fight. Roger may talk a lot of sh-- but how many times have you seen Floyd off his game they know what Shane has. Don't take the bait cause I know Shane is gonna bring out the best in Floyd.

If a fighter and their trainer cant figure out they should jab, they dont belong in the ring anyway.

Knowing to jab and being able to successfully land it are two different things. Mosley's jab is underrated.

One thing Roger didnt mention is Floyd's ability to take people's jab away.Oscar threw that jab and it wasnt working in the later rounds.Shane's chances range from slim to non existant

LOL LOL LOL pills pay the bills LOL. i have to admit there are some really clever post on this site. regardless of which fighter you support.

Facts. Shane doesn't have a jab. Shane is really a brawler and not a boxer. Shane is weak against straight right hands, he his weak defense because his hands are usually low. His best punches are the wild right cross the throws over the top, however he telegraphs it because he can't throw it from the shoulder, all his power punches come from the the waist, which is the secret behind his punching power, however they can easily be spotted since the motion and start up is so obvious. His left hook to the body is also his other best punch, but has the same problem as the right hand. Both punches are punches that are easily avoided by Mayweather's Philly Shell. Shane is one dimensional, he can only fight one way at a time.

I wouldnt say one dimensional because his speed, conditioning and power compensates for a lot of that but he is predictable for someone with the skills and savvy to take advantage of it. As for everything else your saying I agree.

And it will still be underrated after this fight. People are asking Shane to bring up his guard, put down his sword and fight behind a disciplined jab or go in there and steamroll a unbeaten fighter that has never even been hurt in a fight. It's not gonna happen. Shane will be Shane and Floyd will be Floyd put that together and it will add up to Shane taking a big L May 1.

BoxingScene.com recently caught up with former two-time world champ and current boxing trainer Roger Mayweather. He is of course the trainer and uncle of Floyd Mayweather, Jr., who will face Shane Mosley on May 1 in Las Vegas.

1. Floyd has been hurt in a fight before. He was hurt in is fourth pro fight (or third, can't remember) and Corley hurt him too.

2. Shane's jab is quite deceptive. He paws the fires straight..mixes it up well and throws nice punches behind it. I suspect Richardson will work hard on it for this one, particularly to the body.
