I agree with the amount of punches Shane would have to throw but at this point, Shane would only be able to manage that against a stationary opponent.
    The difference between Cotto and Floyd though is Cotto brought the fight to Mosley, I don't necessarily see that happening with Floyd. He's much more reserved and relies a lot on countering. Mosley did very well against Cotto, he just wasn't as consistent as he needed to be, yet still fought a very close fight. What I saw in the Margarito fight was Shane being more patient and being consistent while being able to keep his distance, things he really didn't do against Cotto nor Mayorga.

    In the case of Mosley not being prime, I truthfully don't think it'll be an issue in this fight. Mosley's lost fights against people who brought the fight to him, but when you give him space to do what he has to do even at 39 he's still a dangerous fighter.

      What alot of you are failing to see is that somewhere about 3-4 years ago shane became this brawler
      he was trying to knock everyone out with one punch
      He cant do it
      so it makes him look bad
      He tried to do that with Cotto and cotto was just picking him apart plus Cotto used his jab beautifully
      also Cotto is alot more offensive minded than Floyd so he was willing to risk more and was rewarded.

      If I were in SSM corner I would focus on boxing being patient and not wasting any punches and hit that shoulder all night long.
