That's a great find. I think Shane's jab is a little underrated (was suck a great weapon against Oscar the first time - he rediscovered it against Margarito) and I can see him offsetting a lot of what Floyd does with that. In fact, if he's able to utilize his reach and work the stick, Floyd's in trouble. ****, I think Floyd's in trouble anyway. But I also think Floyd and Roger see the same thing you do (re: reach) and they are looking to keep the fight on the inside, where Floyd's defense is masterful. he is an excellent in-fighter and I suspect he'll want to push Shane off and land that right repeatedly.

Not one boxer has been as skilled as Floyd I know how Shane is gonna come out he is gonna be throwing thows wide hooks and if Floyd can dodge counter and move in that order then work the body in the clintches he will be in good shape you know what I'm sayinComment

Flipping that around, no fighter Floyd has ever faced will present him the kind of problems Shane can. Maybe Castillo - and that was difficult for Floyd both times. Backing up against Shane is a bad move. Floyd may do it for a couple rounds early on but his best bet is to stay close and I guarantee that's what he tries to do.Comment

I agree Floyd should fight on the inside but tryna walk down Shane like he did Zab is not a good idea look Shane is wild and is gonna throw wild punches and Shane is not hard to hit so the best bet would be to counter vs tryna walk down a guy bigger and stronger than he is you feel meFlipping that around, no fighter Floyd has ever faced will present him the kind of problems Shane can.

I hear you. If Floyd has to walk Shane down, he's in trouble. Shane is crafty and will walk him right into a big punch. In fact, I'm guessing that is Shane's plan. And I suspect his plan B is to just rough Floyd up. Talk about a role reversal.I agree Floyd should fight on the inside but tryna walk down Shane like he did Zab is not a good idea look Shane is wild and is gonna throw wild punches and Shane is not hard to hit so the best bet would be to counter vs tryna walk down a guy bigger and stronger than he is you feel me
It's always like this. I remember people used to say that the kind of fighter who would beat Roy Jones was someone who wouldn't stop punching, would rough him up, make him fight, yada yada. Instead it was a patient counterpuncher who used his jab well (Tarver).Comment
