Ok Amayseng. 1st off damn good post it shows me you are a student and actually take time out to watch subtle movements(which sometimes in boxing is the difference between landing a punch and missing a punch). The blueprint that you are speaking of does not exist and the reason why is because an adjustment was made by Floyd, you refered to Zab as a 6rd fighter. I agree. But you also gave Zab the 1st 4 rounds......well......what happened to rds 5-6. I'll tell you Adjustment is what happened.
The pivot that you speak of is a subtle feint, not a trait; and is used to better position himself to move and slip the counter shot that is on the way, if you notice JMM is "counter puncher" by nature he is going to do what is natural.
Floyd doesnt throw in combination very much anymore because it's not needed. Remember He is very economical with his punches, he is not going to over commit, because once you over commit there is no safety net to catch you. Floyd knows when he can pull the trigger and he knows when it's better suited to keep the pistols in the holsters.
Finally, POWER. Stop it with the Floyd has no power. He was considered a "Dangerous" puncher all the way up to JWW. We both know that "POWER" never leaves a fighter. The competition may be able to absorb it better but a fighter never loses his "pop" unless he himself decides to take the steam off of his punches, which a fighter can choose to do to conserve against his opponent or to bait his opponent.
All in all though I respect your view, and appreciate your attention to detail.
when i said floyd has no power i meant it in the fashion that fighting a legitimate welter with the beard shane has will result in floyd's power being diminished. sure at jwelter and lower he had pop, but this is at a true welterweight level. floyd has good buzz on his punches. honestly, i never thought he really has had a lot of power. his pop comes from speed and quickness. but there is a difference between getting caught with buzzing shots (which leave you out of position and losing points) and getting caught with powerful punches that add up over rounds (cottos power) and are detrimental to your physical abilities as the fight goes on.
i honestly think floyd doesnt throw in combos anymore because more of his age. he is still ridiculously slick, quick and coordinated in superior ways where he hasnt had the competition (recently last 3 years) to force him to resort to his prime ways. this will be the problem for floyd because mosley will bring that out in him and it has been years since i feel floyd has been seriously tested.
the blue print i spoke about is one zab provided for winning early rounds and landing punches. of course floyd made the adjustments to ultimately win that fight, but like i said this is something he should have done easily as we are speaking of zab against floyds boxing IQ.
shane will need early rounds as floyd will win middle rounds. then the last 3 will be very competitive.
i just dont think floyd will be able to pot shot his way to a victory. all the smack he is talking, not normal smack, but personal smack about shanes wife and divorce tells me floyd needs shane to come chasing after him like a mad man leaving himself open for 12 rounds...i dont think that will happen.
either way, this will be a very good fight because shane possesses the skills to put mayweather in spots where he will either have to shine or get caught with some good punches.Comment

I feel like Mayweather would beat tito with his movement and elusive style.While Tito would win some rounds with that long jab and great over hand right.Mayweather would start to make him miss and pay i see it 7rd to 5.Bass on the fact i know Tito would alway's be coming foward and i score pressure as well as effective punching(which is why even tho i gave mayweather the fight with Hoya i had it closer then alot of people on this site might have).Comment

damn!!!!lol I can see why you would say that i think duran would the most problems with mosley just cause he has a fighting style for combat but mayweather would give duran problems to but i don't think mayweather could keep duran at bay for a whole night.I think mosley would welcome duran someone getting k.o.in that fight and i'm not sure it would be mosleyComment

i love mosley, but i think in a dog fight, which this would be, duran gets the most of him.....
so hard to say though because styles make fights, along with skill, adapting and gameplans.
i do think mayweather beats tito 10 rounds to 2 thou.
look what bhop did to tito and he is half as slick as mayComment
