Does Mosley have only a punchers chance?

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

Shane Mosley has a punchers chance... If you look past the smoke screen you can see Mosley is very limited at 39 but even with this he has a good shot against alot of fighters, the reason why he has a punchers chance this time?

Answer: Floyd Mayweather

[krispy kreme]

shane aint developing a good, solid jab at this stage of his career.

man, imagine if shane developed a good jab earlier on in his career. im talking about a fast, sharp, piercing jab.
he'd probably be undefeated.

He can still use his jab to set up other punches (like the right hand) against Mayweather. His jab isn't always ineffective and he is working with Naseem Richardson, who can surely help Shane's chances.

And Shane is an underrated body puncher.

That was also like a decade ago and Shane was probably on steroids, lol.

True, but who was getting stronger as the fight wore on in Cotto-Mosley?

That's the problem there, if you're breathing out of your mouth 'heavily' means you're getting tired.

What if floyd does the boston marathon inside the ring? I don't think shane can keep up with that **** and still be able to hit floyd hard enough to wobble floyd.

The only chance i think he can KO floyd is to clinch floyd's arm and then try to break it.

And as I said, Shane can fight hard even when he is tired. I don't know how he will deal with Mayweather's movement, but I don't think stamina will be the issue.



Don't get me wrong, I think Mayweather UD's Mosley, but it isn't impossible for Shane to pull out a win. It's just unlikely that he could against Mayweather.

Shane can't win a 12 round decision. Calling it a puncher's chance is disrespectful to Shane's pedigree and abilities, but he can only win by KO.

I hope shane kills floyd in the ring but not so much so pac and floyd can still have a go with each other..

shane has way more than a punchers chance. If you think his stamina will be a prbloem you a damn fool. If you think shane won't be able to keep up with somebody that throws 30 punches a round you are a damn fool.

[mrbigshot]

mosley gives up speed boxing talent youth freshiness and skills all he has is power advantage

mosley needs to set is feet to throw he wont be able to do that against mayweather all he has is a punchers chance simple

I don't doubt shane's punching power or even worried with floyd's pillow throws...

It's not about punching but about running, can he keep up with a chicken run?

[boxer2k5]

the problem is the more shane tries to work the more he gets reckless the more hes going to get hit. only way i see him outworking floyd is if he consistantly hits floyd and hurt him. keeping floyd in a shell. he cant hurt floyd once and think floyd will be afriad he been boxing too long for that. he has to hurt floyd to body head whenver he gets a chance keep floyd from oppening up. but floyd is tougher than you guys think hit harder than you guys think and is smarter than you think. he digs deep when he has to and i dont see shane winning this unless a tarver jones 2 happens

One of the best defensive fighters ever would have to make the biggest boxing error for Shane to even get a chance to 1 Hit KO him or stun him so he can finish him off.

But I hope he proves me wrong.

people are counting mosley out to early, i mean dont get me wrong..mayweather is a great defensive fighter, but look at what happened when he fought de la hoya, the fight appeared to the judges as if de la hoyas flurries had mayweather on the defensive, now if an old de la hoya could do that then a still energetic well conditioned mosley surely can as well..this fight is a toss up for me
