    Such as?
    Castillo had a better jab since he actually commits to his unlike Shane who just flicks it out as a rangefinder for which he loads up his rights with.

    Castillo had better footwork. Castillo was a better inside fighter.

    Castillo had a more diverse offense and knew how to set up traps and walk you into big punches.

    Shane does none of that. He relies strictly on his speed and power to break you down.

    If you show him boxing skills you make him look helpless.

      Arcyani - I'm inclined to agree with you (and I lean towards Floyd in this one) but I don't know how "prime" Floyd is.

        Well for what its worth Id take Shane at 135 over Castillo.

        Anyway Shane couldnt get out of the way of Cottos jab. Thats still his Achilles hill.

            Didn't say that. I jsut said that if he thinks elbows or clinching will wear Mayweather out it wont.

              Castillo has a better jab. Agreed. Shane flicks a lot with his but he utilizes that pretty well by occassionally mixing a hard jab in there or following quickly with the right.
              Castillo had better footwork. Castillo was a better inside fighter.
              Completely disagree with first sentence. Second is spot on.
              Castillo had a more diverse offense and knew how to set up traps and walk you into big punches.
              Umm NO. Shane had the far better offense.

              Shane does none of that. He relies strictly on his speed and power to break you down.
              Yeah, because both Shane AND Castillo both didn't learn the trade sparring with Mr. Chavez

              If you show him boxing skills you make him look helpless.
              Right...

                Probably crappy. Mayorga is a tough match for anybody.

                      He would but Mayorga is extremely tough to look good against. And boxers have an extremely hard time with him. Just the facts.
