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

[Clint650]

Shane can be outboxed. I can see Floyd landed some nice long right hands from the outside all night. I'm not counting him out, but i feel Floyd is going to be really on in this fight.

Am I the only one that finds it hilarious that Pacquiao and Mosley can imitate Mayweather in practice and then they say that they know how Mayweather fights and thinks lol I'm still lmao!! And then Roach brags about it. He says oh Pacquiao showed me today how Mayweather fights and how he's gonna beat him. ummm no Mayweather will show you how Mayweather fights. And they say Mayweather is arrogant? wow

yep, the most important thing they cant do is imitate floyds ring IQ and how well he adapts

I agree, Shane doesn't have problem with speed,it is the jabs he has problem with.If he can nullify Floyd's jab then he's got a chance.Shane can match Flod's speed.Flod had toruble with Judah in the first 3 rounds but Judah gassed.Shane & Manny both have strong stamina.

the thing is, floyd doesnt throw jabs. he doesnt need to...he waite for his opponents to come forward n throw so he can counter them. mosely has never fought an opponent with the ability to counter him like floyd. imo, he doesnt have the defense to protect himself from floyds counters.

Shane Mosley has been off for over a year. And he's not as young as Mosley to be taking long periods of time off and still come back the same. I know people hate Mayweather and are crossing their fingers every time Mayweather gets in the ring. But Mosley beating Mayweather it just isn't gonna happen. This is possibly the greatest boxer of all time. Now we have to wait until his career is officially over before we start comparing imo. I hate it when guys are in the middle of their careers being compared to all time greats. So i'm not gonna do that. But get over your hatred for Mayweather and really think. Do you really think Mosley or Pacman has a chance against Mayweather? I mean if Mosley was so sure of himself he would of fought Mayweather years ago when Mayweather called him out. Not just when he wants to make a pay day. And if Pacquiao was so sure of himself then he would of gave a lil blood and got in the ring. Mayweather P4P you'll see.

that's going to be more difficult to do against mosley due to shane's overall speed; and his height and reach advantage. It's not going to be an easy fight for floyd.

Why do people keep lookin to a fight where Floyd destroyed his opponent? Did you see Judah's face after the fight? And if Judah did soo good in the first couple of rounds where was the evidence on Floyd's face? Floyd knew Judah would come out strong and he also knew he would gas out. It's called strategy. There's 12 rounds in boxing not 3. So get out of here with these lame arguments!! Oh and by the way Floyd has the best stamina in boxing he's never tired. Manny is always huffing and puffing. And shane gassed out against Cotto. Nuff said.

trust me shane is no dummie he knows to win he is goin to have to apply smart pressure I see him doin it just like jlc the first fight mosley has a lot more skill then jlc and can box better too I see an exciting fight with mayweather getting hurt and the a shotout can't wait

Mayweather is going to be timid for a while in this fight due to Shane's size and pressure tactics. Floyd always takes a few rds to adapt to what the other guy does and he is scared of bigger, stronger guys. The key will be for Mosley to have a plan B once Floyd starts to respond and close the gap. If he can switch up what he is doing then Floyd will have to readapt again. Floyd is not an offensive fighter anymore, not like he was in the late 90's and early 2000's. He is a counter puncher and attacks when the opponent shows weaknesses like fatiguing or standing after an exchange or breakup with his hands down. The longer Shane can keep Floyd uncomfortable, the longer it will take for Floyd to adapt and the longer Shane can hold the lead. The same strategy won't win it for him though because Floyd is smart in the ring.
