WHAT IF Mosley decides to counterpunch?

[TheGreatA]

Then we'd have one of the worst fights ever on our hands. You know Mayweather isn't going to go away from his gameplan. Mosley's instinct is to fight so I doubt he'll even try.

did you not see the Zab Judah fight??

Floyds too good of a startegic counter puncher and will beat moseley if he tries that.

IMO Moseley should tacticallly pressure Floyd. If he controls the pace he will beat Floyd. If Floyd is allowed to control what happens there is no chance.

It'd look like a broken video game of 2 guys standing a few feet apart, twitching for 3 minutes.

On a serious note,Floyd may very well be the best counter puncher in boxing,Mosley has no business trying to counterpunch Floyd!!Mosley simply should do what he does best & bring the fight for 3 minutes a round,hard fast & powerfull,period!!

[BOLLOCKS]

Floyd would win a boring bout.

Let's say Shane stays in the center of the ring, waits for Floyd to make the first swing then Mosley counterpunch with powershots/combos, then Floyd backs off, but Mosley stays in center of the ring and taunt Floyd to come over for a brawl? And if Floyd doesn't come in, Shane does a chicken gesture. How effective will this be?

He gets Gatti. You cant outbox Floyd. Gatti was the last one to try.

I think Shane’s best bet is to turn this into a phone booth fight by staying in the inside with speedy combos to the body/head.

If he stays on the outside he will only be countered.

Surely you're not comparing Shane to Gatti (RIP) ?



I do think Shane would be wise not to chase Floyd too much, it sure as hell didn't work for him against Cotto too well late in their fight. Cotto would move, Shane would chase, then Miguel would catch him coming in and move again. Shane's legs will be 2 1/2 years older this time.
