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

[check hook]

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.

shane is a fight to fight proposition when it comes to his stamina......he gassed out after rd 3 against cotto but got a second wind in rd 8 or 9..........he looked energetic all throughout the margarito fight.....who knows which version will show up in May........i personally feel we will see the best Shane Mosley on May 1st.....he is like Floyd he rises to the occasion.....

lol@ judah gassed....yeah ok...yet prior to Mayweather he went 12 with Baldomir, 9 with Judah and prior to that he went 12 rounds with Spinks

I bet you didnt know that after round 2 Judah landed in single digits from 3-12....yet he threw more punches than Floyd the entire fight right?

Overall, Mayweather landed 205 of 441 (46%) total punches to 89 of 485 (18%) for Zab. Floyd also landed 158 of 322 (49%) power shots to 64 of 177 (36%) for Judah, who managed to land just 25 of 308 jabs (8%).

how the **** did Judah "gas" when he threw more punches than Mayweather in the fight?

YOU LOSE...TRY AGAIN

You do realize that Manny throws far more punches than Mayweather does. Floyd fights at a very measured pace. A time will come when he's going to fight an opponent that's going to make him work. It is then you'll see him huffing and puffing. The man is a great athlete not GOD.

you do realize that in 2 fights vs Marquez, Manny had a higher punch out put YET was OUTLANDED in both fight right?

You do realize that Mayweather has been out thrown by EVERY fighter that he has faced right?

That's why Mosley had a big edge in power punches at the end of the fight. But I have to give Cotto credit for keeping Mosley at bay sometimes with a good jab I guess. But it aint like Cotto made Mosley looked like a bum like the Cottards and *****s on here want you to believe.

I think that the slickest boxer that Mosley absolutely dominated was Collazo. I mean he fought a perfect fight that night. I look more into that win than I do with the one over Margarito even though it will have been three years ago by the time Floyd and Shane fight.

Cotto outlanded him in Jabs, also...Cotto has no defense and no footwork/movement

People seem to forget that while cotto was fighting a disciplined fight, mosley was still able to land bombs on him. Going into the fight, very few people, myself included, thought that cotto would've been able to take those type of punches for 12 rounds (particularly with miguel's supposed chin problems.) If Mosley can hit u consistently with his best punches, he will press for the ko. Cotto took advantage of that by jabbing and counter punching.

Mosley's strategy in the collazo fight was different. He knew that collazo had a pretty good defense. So decided to fight a more tactical fight relying less on power punches. If he had employed this strategy in his fight with cotto he would've been more successful.

Isnt Collazo a southpaw?

Him & Cotto dont even have similar styles...terrible comparison

Judah was getting handled period.........he fouled intentionally because he knew the KO was just around the corner........floyd would have KO'd zab or made him quit in the 11th....he was on a roll until that melee erupted......

I agree...Zab just got beat by a better fighter

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

Any fighter can imitate Mayweather's style. The problem is they can't counter it and beat him.

All of Floyd's opponents throw more punches than Floyd does. The reason Floyd has won all of his fights is that his opponents land very few of their punches because of Floyd's defense and Floyd lands twice as many punches as his opponents.
