    Should Floyd Fight Mosley In The Pocket?

    i think that would be a dream scenario if floyd fights shane like how he fought N'dou, hatton, Chavez... i think it'd be more interesting that way

      No. He needs to stick and move, but do so with more than 1 shot at a time. In close Shane got a wicked right cross he couldn't dodge so easily. Shane's not known for body punching, but surely he'll be doing it in this fight. Floyd don't need to try staying in the pocket for this one.

          idk coz, for some reason i just think he can frustrate mosley more by staying in the pocket like that.. coz floyd is harder to hit in the pocket.. hes standing right in front of you yet he blocks and dodges every punch
          i feel like he can avoid more punishment that way and be able to punish mosley better

            I agree with this, and Floyd should clinch if the fight gets too close, Shane throws sick combinations and he would land if Floyd stays close, that works more for guys who are sluggish.

                    Shane's inside game isn't that good, but it isn't non existent either. IMO Shane is gonna try to take it there anyway and rough up Floyd on the inside (pushing him back, holding and hitting).

                    If Shane is able to push back, hold and explode with combinations Floyd will be in a ton of trouble, especially late. Mayweather needs to use his legs to box from the outside and counter punch. If he wants to win.
