How does mosley have a good chance???

[SOY-COMO-SOY]

first of all, im not hating on the fight. im glad its happening, i just wish it would of happen earlier. hope the fight does well (ppv #s wise).

I just dont see how people will think this fight will be competitive. Mosley got outboxed by cotto and mayorga. And floyd is a better boxer than both of them and wont come forward like them. So mosley only has a punchers chance imho.

Pac-Mosley is a 50-50 fight.

Shane is strong fast and naturally bigger than Floyd.

He also has a great chin.

I would favor him over any other WW except Floyd and Pac.

He is a legitimate challenge.

Styles make fights. Mayorga and Cotto are both offensive minded first, defense 2nd. Floyd definitely has the ability to outbox Shane for 12 rounds, but Cotto did it by being aggressive and beating Mosley to the punch for a good amount of the fight (which I think Floyd can only do 1 of the 2).

The one thing about Shane though is he can still turn it up towards the end of the fight where most of the time Floyd is coasting for the win.

I still think Floyd will pull out the win, but if he were to lose I wouldn't be overly surprised either.

this is what i said in a previous thread

he possesses handspeed, championship experience, veteran savvy, a meticulous game planner in Richardson and more importantly, he possesses a former jr MW body trimmed down to WW...its gonna be different for a guy coming off a 2 year layoff who just fought a bloated FW

Mosley is fast, powerful, durable, and is the bigger guy. Let's face it, he has the speed to land, the power to hurt him, and has the strength and chin to come to Floyd without much worry. JMM landed some right hands on Floyd, so I'm sure Mosley will manage to land something, and who has Floyd fought with the sort of power Shane has?

The only problem will be Mosley looping his shots as he sometimes does, which will give Floyd longer to react. I'm picking Mayweather UD, but to say Mosley has no chance is a bit crazy...

A punchers chance...doesnt mean much aginst a guy you cant hit and who has a good chin.

Good Post homey

The view on this board about how nearly impossible it is to hit Floyd, thus making him nearly impossible for anyone even world class fighters to beat is no where near a reflection of reality.

Anything could happen, a journeyman for instance with decent power could capitalize on a mistake Floyd makes and put his lights out.....its unlikely yes, but possible.

So even though that is within the sphere of reality I guess a world class fighter with plenty of ability and some advantages over Floyd even has NO CHANCE I guess according to what should be the most knowledgeable ppl in the world on the subject of boxing(hardcore fans)

It's not impossible to hit Floyd. The punch stats never say "0" on the opposing opponents punch stats. Zab, Oscar, Corley, Castillo, even JMM at WW landed punches on him. It comes down to consistency and Floyd's ring smarts gets him by which makes him one of this era's greats.

If Mosley lands some solid blows, Floyd's gonna feel it.
