Comments Thread For: Roach: Shane Mosley Has Trouble With Speed/Movement

[IMDAZED]

I think he is talking about the rematch and not the first fight....

Maybe he doesn't know they fought twice...

He was outboxing a top 3 featherweigth at the time Johnny Tapia and was destroyed a past prime Kevin Kelly. And, then after he beat Ayala then went up to weight-class and not only became champ but unified the SFW division... Dude was in his prime when Pac fought him...

He was Prime but he was in some grueling fights (wars) before he got to Pac.

My primal instincts, accompanied by most of the boxing savvy I have encountered inform me that Shane can defeat Floyd, even at his advanced age.
Check Maywethers record carefully and tell me who he has defeated in the prior 4 years, De La Hoya included, who is even close to encompassing the gifts that Mosely brings to this dance. It may even come down to a split verdict but I feel that just as the time has come for Jeff Bridges to receive his due from the Academy Of Motion Picures, it is also Shane's time to get a favorable nod in a very big encounter. At 38, his opportunity has come once again, the climate feels right and I believe he will still be capable of pulling the trigger as required.

IMO Mosley is a bigger challenge to Mayweather than Pacquiao.

If Shane fights a realy smart fight and dont take to many unnecessary chances,he can pull it off.If Mosley try's to bum rush Floyd and think he is the stronger man,it will be a long night ahead for him.

I think if Shane wants to be successful in this fight he will have to be smarter then he has ever been in the ring.Mosley cant let his emotions get in his way in this fight.Smart aggression is the key to victory for Shane.
Mayweather will have to be at his best.I think we all know he will.Great fight.

I hope so. But 38 years old is 38 years old. Especially when you need speed to win. Still fast is not good enough. You have to be real fast to beat Floyd. It will be an easy decision win for Floyd.

Pac makes everyone look past their prime.

Pac makes everyone look past their prime.

I think that is what it is...

Pac makes everyone look past their prime.

and also the "weight drained" effects after the fight

I am leaning toward a Mayweather decision vic,but it wont be easy.
