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

They are both great defensive fighters who got the job done.

True.

But there is still a difference how they did it.

Its more the mentality.

Thats what ive been saying.

Whitaker took more chances, stayed closer to opponents and wanted to fight more.
Therefore he got hit more.

Floyd is so defensively minded he doesnt take any risks. The win is the most important thing for him. Not HOW he wins.


Whitaker IMO could do more defensively than Floyd. Block, slip, duck, squat, run backwards like he did against Oscar. He liked to show off.

Floyd is all business.

What else should be more important in a competition? You win first everything else is a very distant 2nd.

For the bold/underlined that should be greatly appreciated that says a lot about a man and his craft.

Floyd wasnt there to play around he gets to it. He ****s around a little bit but its his job.

what about a prime tito vs a prime mayweather?

Mayweather for sure, Tito would have never been in range to hit Floyd & when he planted to throw a power shot he would be countered

[Rome-By-Ko]

I would go with Mayweather based on speed, movement and ring intelligence. I don't think Tito could overcome that

i could see that but tito was tall and rangey i think he would give money problems but i could see money pulling it off but i won't count out tito he knew how to win to ww he was really good in that div

Mayweathers footwork & speed would be wayy too much for Tito, he would get outboxed, I dont think Tito wins more than 2 or 3 rounds in this fight. Tito is one of my fav boxers ever btw

I wouldnt say Floyd 'runs'. But he wont engage if he can help it.
I would say he slips away and and stays at range to make his opponents miss to tire them out and frustrate them.

PBF at 130-135 is different than at 147. I can't really blame him either. At the higher weights all fighters moving up have less margin for error.

Tito struggles with boxers. We know that.

hey man i respect your opinion i also feel money would win but not as easy as you see it

I mean Oscar was outboxing Tito with speed and movement "early" in their fight. Floyd would do the same the entire fight,...basically do what Winky did but land more clean punches
