Mayweather Will Have A Field Day On Shane

[hateinyaeyes32]

You know.. at first I thought this fight would be close. Shane is a hof fighter with great power, great chin, and heart. BUT, the more I think about it, the easier I think Floyd handles him on May 1. Why do I think this? Let me explain:

1. THE BIGGEST FACTOR- Shane has no defense. NONE. He hardly EVER puts his hands up. I mean you can go way back to the first DLH fight even. Watch the Cotto fight. Every time somebody lands a head shot on Mosley he just waves his hands in the air and tries to create distance without ever defending himself. Put your hands up Shane!!

2. One dimensional- I really like Shane. He's a nice guy and a good sport... well except the steroids **** but everybody makes mistakes. What's Shane got in his arsenal? A jab? Not really.. Shane throws a little pitty-pat jab out there with nothing behind it. Sometimes he abandons it altogether. When he does throw the jab, he only uses it to disguise his right hand (his bread and butter) which immediately follows it. He did show a decent hook in the Margarito fight but Marg was basically standing still. When else has he shown the ability to land a left hook with any consistency? What happens when Mayweather fights somebody with ONE weapon? He neutralizes it. What happened to Oscar's left hook? What happened with Hatton's "relentless body attack?" The same thing that will happen with Shane's right.

3. Only one way to win- Love him or hate him, Floyd is a master boxer. People say "Oh Floyd just runs all night" --C'mon man! I love it when people say just because Floyd back peddles and plays more defense than offense.. he's just a runner. That's ridiculous. Floyd plays chess when the rest of these guys are playing checkers. Shane's best chance is to land a lucky punch? Are you serious? Yeah, umm good luck with that Shane.

4. The verdict- I give Shane credit. You ain't gonna KO that dude. He's got a hellacious chin so I'm not gonna get all crazy and say Floyd's gonna knock him out etc. like some of these "*****s", or whatever you guys call them, say. I do think Mayweather is going to have a field day on Shane. Lopsided UD win for Floyd. At first I was thinking maybe 8-4, but now I'm thinking along the lines of 10-2.

I know you guys are going to go crazy and tell me I'm ******, etc. for thinking this, but please tell me where I'm wrong. Shane has never faced anybody like Floyd. In your responses, please give credible arguments without resorting to name calling. I don't believe civilized adults must do that to have an intelligent discussion.

right I am going to write some of Shanes flaws I challenge anyone to try and form a logical rebutal....


Shane's handspeed and footspeed have dimished since hes gotten older
What's your point? Shane had the fastest hands in boxing before and is still explosive and quicker then most welterweights. It's like saying RJ's hand and foot speed has diminished, he's still faster than 99.9% at 175 (and it's not the reason why he losing).

Shane has very little head movement whenever he gets hit he doesn't even guard he just jingles his hands out to create distance
He does have head movement, even though he doesn't employ it as often as he should. The defense you explained is the exact same thing the Klitschko's do. You forgot that he uses his foot work to get out of range too.

Shane has become more of a 1,2 power puncher as he has aged he is no longer the combination puncher he used to be back in his 135 lb days
He averaged 60-70 punches against Margarito and threw enough combinations against Collazo. I expect his output to drop, but it depends by how much he lets it that determines his chances. And I expect him to at least try and throw in combination.

Shane has a subpar Jab, Shane simply uses his left jab as a range finder or as a disguise for his right hand
I was watching his first fight against Oscar and his jab was solid in that fight. I agree with the rest, he's gonna have to switch it up to use it as a weapon, range finder, and disguise so May can't figure it out.

I really do expect ****m to come up with a great gameplan. It depends if Mosley can pull it off. Mayweather can do what he normally does to win, but if Mosley can actually employ his gameplan, he will be forced into a firefight.

Actually, Shane really don't have great footwork anymore. He pretty much does what myself, and Roxas said which is to flail his arms up in the air and back straight up. Sure the Klits might do it, but the only problem I have is: YOU AIN'T BLOCKING ANYTHING SHANE!! How many HW's are in Mayweather's elite category of boxers? The Klits can get away with it fighting the Arreolas of the world. Shane isn't fighting an Arreola.

Shane is actually a head-hunter now. Change his gameplan? He wasn't able to change his gameplan effectively in the Forrest, or Wright rematches so what makes you think he's suddenly going to be able to do it now? And this is after he'd already gotten beat by these guys. Shane has shown absolutely zero ability to adjust his plan during a fight which will be a disaster against Mayweather.

Great ***ing answer you *****s are no better than the *******s sometimes



What Mosley landed punches on Floyd have to do with Floyd landing on Shane?

Lets say Floyd lands his usual 18 out of 35 punches, how is that a field day?

You *****s like to exaggerate everything!!!!!

"*****s" and "*******s" is really getting old, dude. It seems the "tard" obsessed with ****s is none other than Ch@mpBox@PR.

Mayweather wishes it was a field so he can run more freely.

legendary, legandary.

OK. What does Mosley's landed punches on Floyd have to do with Floyd landing on Shane? I am ashamed that I even have to post this on such a credible boxing forum as I'm sure 98% of everybody else here is familiar with this statistic.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has one of the highest PLUS-MINUS RATIOS of any boxer in history. In fact, since compubox has been tracking these stats, Mayweather vs Marquez actually holds the record for the most "one-sided beatdown" of any fight on record. I call THAT having a field day. I will illustrate my point below.

Fighter: Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Overall conn%: 59%
Result: W12
Opponent: Juan Manuel Marquez
Opponent conn% 12%
Plus-minus ratio: +47

Again, the "*****s" are the only ones I see providing any facts. Everybody else is just speculating.
