Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mosley Can't Get Mad at Mayweather

[Sugar Q]

well, floyd retired so cotto never got to fight floyd.

the chance of getting KOed by floyd is lower than the chance to get KOed by cotto. just look at their common opponents. I think cotto stopped most of them, although I think most of those opponents would say floyd is the better boxer.

Floyd has called Cotto out since he was coming up to 140 from 135 and Cotto was already at 140. Cotto was out on his feet against Corley who PBF pretty much handled. Of course most of those fighters would say Floyd is the best because he is. You don't see Manny running recklessly to fight Floyd like he does the other guys there's a reason behind that. If Floyd is such a soft puncher and all defense why aren't fighters lining up to face him? Because they know when you get between those ropes it's a whole different story.

Accurate but he loops them a bit for power which a quick fighter can see. Mayweather's is straighter, quicker and far more unpredictable which is a lot more dangerous. The punch that get's there first is the more dangerous which is the reason Cotto never wanted to fight Floyd.

I would not say never he just did not wanna fight him when he wanted him to fight him.Cotto was ready to fight after judah or mosley fight but money retired.no?

Wow great post my dude.How you big bro?Ok you talk like you was a trainer?Did you do some training in your day?MMM...I feel moses has a underated jab.People say he does not have a jab but out jab oscar in thier first fight no?He outbox Hoya in thier first fight and say what you will bout hoya but he had a masterful jab in those day's and was a great boxer.The key to mosley winning in this fight is goin to be the plan of brother ****m.

I'm pretty sure the plan will be to box may.Cause like many people on these thread's people are SLEEPING ON MOSLEY BOXING ABILTY.They will soon find out that mosley can box.Oh and punch output will be another key to winning this fight.For the first 3or4 round's i see a boxing match with shane getting the better of it(that's right i said it lol).The middle round's May will make adjustment's meaning shan will lose like the next three rd's.This is were ****m will have to show what his real plan is.If there is no other plan moses will lose.But if there is which i think it will be.I think plan b is goin to be make floyd excahnge moses is going to start to get closer usein his jab to get inside and pound may on the inside.This is were we will see the old may which was a force or may on his back.To me with moses it's all about can May keep a good space between him and moses.My bet is he can't.I see shane taking this fight cause of his not so perfect rec.He has been in tough alot.Alot of elite fighters.While Mayweather was in tough with alot of world class fighter's I just feel moses was in tougher.This will play a part in this fight cause if you think May is just goin to simply outbox shane nah man it's not goin like that.before this night is over it will be GUT check time for Mayweather.

I sent this to you in a message homie, but IDK if you got it so Imma post it again incase you aint get.

I'm doing well my potna, I hope all is fine with you as well. Thanks for the response mayne. To answer your question; I WISH I was a trainer(I love boxing that much). But unfortunately I am not. I pay very close attention to boxers and their styles and to the sport of Boxing in general.

Brother Naz needs to have 4 seperate game plans IMHO, because of how well Floyd adapts. I agree with Shane possibly controlling the 1st 4 rounds, but thats not going to be enough.

You right some do forget about Mosley's jab, but there is a reason fo that I think; and thats because he often abandons it. I am going to review both Mosley's and Floyd's previous bouts because when I am talking boxing with ya'll I am going off of memory(things that I remember seeing from the fights when I watched them or revisited them months after they have happened). Your plan sounds like a good one for Shane. As far as Shane being in tough IDK so much if it's that or more of Shane making things harder than they had to be. There i no way Shane should have had the problems he had with Mayorga. Mayorga just came off win over and overweight under trained Fernando Vargas, and before that He was lumped up and discarded by the same ODH that Shane scuffed up about 3 years earlier. So unless ****m has worked with Shane in the stamina department(and we dont know that yet, but I imagine that he has, the man works miracles), plan B,C,and D(if they decide to plan that way)will be out the window; and Shane's mexican boxing roots will show ie. he will operate in a swarming manner(not good...means that punches are coming too wide from him). But I do see where you was goin with it potna.

[Easy-E]

I don't see why Mosley would be mad, he went from splitting 3 mil w/ Berto to getting the fight he's supposedly been after for 10+ years. Not to mention the biggest payday of his life @ age 39. What Mosley needs to do is forget about Margarito and prepare to bring extemely disciplined aggression to the ring.

Reverse that. Floyd has been chasing Mosley since he was at 135.

It's amazing to me how everyone is neglecting this part of Shane's game. It will be the key to the fight. With those long arms, he might give Floyd the same kind of trouble Oscar did with the jab. And Shane's jab isn't bad. he flicks it but mixes in some hard jabs in the there. It can really throw you off your game. I'm sure he'll utilize this weapon throughout. What his gameplan will be behind that jab remains to be seen.

I think the best person to tell us the strategy is not posters from here, but rather people who have boxed or sparred Floyd.Then you can give a detailed personal customised way on the blueprint to beat Floyd.

ok that's great advice. let's go ask the people who fought floyd how to beat floyd. but wait didn't they all LOSE!!!!

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

I think everbody should say they opinion as long as it not degrading or flatout ******.

This is why I thought we came here tho conversate for, but I guess I was wrong. I will respect their views though and reserve posts like that for those who want to know what I think. No big deal to me homie. I see alot of knowledgable folks on here to include yourself who welcome my train of thought.

Boxing is the Mayweather clan's life. Roger knows and has studied all the greats up til this day. They showed a small bit of his boxing knowledge on a 24/7 episode in preparation for the Marquez fight. Roger might not look like a historian but boxing is his life and dude knows boxing very well. I was a Black Mamba fan so I know Roger is a serious boxing mind. Don't let the ****** fool you. Eddie Futch who taught Freddie Roach everything he knows wasn't the most articulate dude on the block either but he was a mentor to Freddie and many more great champions.

I'm not questioning the man's knowledge.But he himself said he don't watch tape.Roger is smarter then people give him credit for.And a great trainer trust he know's this is goin to be a hell of a fight that's why he so quite that's not his style they know what's in coming easy night of work hell no bro.

[Sugar Q]

Guess will never know being the fact they never fought.But I can't agree Cotto is a strong puncher.Mayweather is a great boxer.they are both dangerous and imo marga would have giving mayweather fit's.

Floyd would've thoroughly exposed Margarito. It would've been a very easy fight for Floyd because he's not into the hype. He does what he has to to get the win and he would've broken his hands on Margarito's head trust me. Very easy fight for Floyd. Clottey had a very easy time with Margarito for 5 rounds what do you think Floyd would've one to him. I heard from a very reliable source that the reason the PBF/Marg fight didn't come off is because Floyd wanted a 2 fight deal with Cotto coming after Margarito and Bob Arum turned it down. That makes more sense to me than anything I've ever heard.

I might think that Floyd fighting at WW would be a problem against Mosley if it was his second or third fight. Floyd's body has matured into a true WW body so the power every body keeps talking about won't be as much of a factor. This fight will come down to skill and who executes the better strategy. To say that Mosley is going to knock Mayweather out or Mayweather is going to outbox Mosley is pure speculation.

The highlights are all nice and fun to watch but they were not fighting each other. Neither fighter has faced another fighter with the skill and style that they will encounter come May 1. Also take into consideration that the highlights are when these 2 were younger. Age does play a factor in how they will fight. No boxer fights the same as time wears on. All great boxers adjust as they age especially elite ones. Hopkins, Toney, etc all used their boxing acumen more as they got older more than relying on their speed and power. This should be a good fight.

Thank you potna this post is 100% T-R-U!!!!
