PBF has more power than people give him credit for. The only reason people say Chico has a glass jaw is because of what PBF did to him, same goes for Hatton. He doesn't try to get the KO because like RJ he has brittle hands and punching people in the head repeatedly hurts. I like boxers, and i like fighters, but I don't expect a guy who boxed his whole career to stand toe to toe with a guy and trade. The beauty of the sport is the contrasting or similar styles matching up in the ring to see which is best. I expect PBF to slowly dissect his opponent after timing him for 4 rounds to get a UD and I expect Pac to quickly dart in and out at angles with explosive combos looking to end the night with almost every punch. The bottom line is folks need to stop being fanboys, forget about all the pre-fight BS statements that fighters make and appreciate what these men bring into the ring. It's funny how people take all PBF's pre-fight talk like he means it. If that's the case then Mike Tyson eats non-existent babies and wants a good kiss from Razor Ruddok and Ali can hospitalize a brick and handcuff lightning.

**boooooom!!!!!!!! Rec'd it))
Sweet Jesus. Thank you for such a beautiful post. If I knew how or had enough rep I would green "K" you twice, for this one post. Could NOT have said it better myself.PBF has more power than people give him credit for. The only reason people say Chico has a glass jaw is because of what PBF did to him, same goes for Hatton.

The only way it will become Floyd by KO is if DLH pay Mosley a handsome Retirement package.if theres a KO , it has to be mosley to score it, i cant imagine floyd knockin shane out unless he takes a page out of margacheato's book and loads his gloves. mayweather couldnt KO judah, baldomir, de la hoya, or a overweight overmatched marquez so i cant see him damaging mosley.
i see floyd tryna make it into a chess match, one punch here, run around , another punch, run around again, for the whole 12 rounds. its mosley's job to cut the ring and hit him because floyd will definetly not stand toe-to-toe, that will be suicide. but i do give floyd major props and respect for making this fight, i was one of the million who said he would never take a risk like this, he proved me wrong, he couldve easily fought malignaggi, take more criticism and still get paid, but when the pacquiao fight canceled, theres was no other meaningful opponent than mosley, if floyd beats him, then he is the best in the welterweight division, and that's huge.
my prediction ... i see floyd's quick footwork throwing mosley off balance and floyd's philly shell stance giving mosley a difficult look. i got mayweather winning by a close split decision, he'l be catching mosley in the later rounds more often once he has him timed. the only way i see mosley winning is by KO, i cant see mosley outboxing floyd since he had a hard time boxing cotto, wright and forrest, 2 of those guys were bigger but they just outboxed mosley, they didnt overpower him.Comment

What? Floydie intentionally didn't KO JMM to have a leverage when negotiating the fight with Pac! You must be kidding. He just can't because if he was able to KO JMM, he can have a better leverage in negotiating a fight with Pacman.Comment

Sometimes a 12 rd schooling serves better than a KO. Plus rds with an elite p4p fighter is always good for a comeback. Dont think Floyd didnt go back and work on some things he saw in the fight that he thinks he can do better. And if Floyd misses it Roger WILL point it out to him.Comment
