Comments Thread For: Mayweather Calls Mosley a B*tch, Trashes 'Sugar' on 24/7

YOOOO Chiefy what's the deal deal boy.I see what you saying but if you go back and watch the mit's again watch how they start at the body.They start wide down stairs(wide to get around that defensive guard)then comes up with them.I see were you going with this I can't wait for this fight.

Whuts tha gotdamn deal Rome my man, aint chatted with you in a minute homie, how ya been? Yeah I just got through watching 24/7 again, and I DO see what you are refering to. There are a couple of workouts where Shane does get stramline with his punches, but they always end up reverting back a little too wide for my taste. Also when Brother ****m was working the towel and foam sticks with Shane you could see Shane stop to guard against it using his gloves to deflect or he would take half a step back and bounce up and down. Thats not good, not when you are training for Floyd who's defense is COMPLETLY intergrated into his offense(meaning he can switch from either one seemlessly).

Shane needs to be set to punch and he can't be set if he steps back(in a straight line) and bounces(for an example of this look at when they where working the foam next to the heavybag). If you look at when Floyd works the mitts you will see that he is always in a position to return fire, like when Roger taps his shoulder and arms, Floyd automatically flips to defense and the returns fire in one motion. This tells me that Floyd is not going to have as many problems as Shane because his offense and defense has him better suited to fight in the pocket more so than Shane as Floyd doesn't have to be set to punch(I didn't get that part(pocket) from watching 24/7, I got that from the years of watching Floyd train as he fights).

The part about this fight that is most intreging(sp) to me, is how will Floyd react to the swiftness of Shane's aggression. I'm not too focused on Shane's power for the most part because although Shane is a damn good puncher, he is not a devestating puncher, and needs more than one shot to get you outta there, the thing that concerns me in that aspect of Shane's game is that if he does have you in trouble he doesn't put a lot of different punches together, he spends more time than I think he needs to looking for a way to land the right hand rather than delivering a left with bad intentions on it. This is not to say that Shane can't a does not use his left(cause he does), but that he tends to use it solely to set up the right and he's not going to be able to put Floyd away if he gets him in trouble using one hand.

Shane does look good, and will give Floyd the fight of his life; but styles make fights and I think that Floyd's style coupled with his skill set, and ingrained defensive habits, will frustrate Shane in the middle rounds and take him to a place where Brother ****m will not beable to reach him to bring him back down to earth. This too is bad for Shane as Shane NEEDS his corner more so than Floyd does. But what have you seen from Floyd that you think Shane can capitolize off of, cause I'm not seeing very much.

Him not fighting in a war because there was racism in this country at the time.And his rights being taken from him is way different then May just talking to be talking IMO.I really don't care about May talking smack as long as he does what he does in the ring I'm a real boxing fan not a casual.But what he does is good to get casual fans to watch.But he is not in the same league with Ali imagine Ali in todays day in age with the rhymes he put together and fights he fought he is timeless and even the people that hated Ali at the end had to come around and say he was the greatest.

Ali was not popular with all cultural masses. He may have broke
barriers but it wasn't all good media for him. Floyd is just talking
smack to sell a fight as a business man and people act like he
smacked their moms. Marketing/Promtion is the most important
to sell a product. If Floyd was quiet then the Mosley fight wouldn't
even be popping off like it is and has. Someone has to sell the
fight. Perfect example, Pacquiao and Clottey didn't even get a
24/7 because of how boring they are.

Just like every 24/7 ever aired I would have liked to see more training but it's understandable because they can not show too much of an opponent stadegy .....

People orgrasm over Floyd mitt work. That is not his mitwork. Floyd is notorious for not letting people see him train, so you think he is going to let them film is actual mit work?

No. All that flash is, is a burnout at the end of the real mitwork. Its been done in gyms for ages.

Whats goin on Shawn my man? Dont get me wrong I understand fully that Floyd is "burning out" after a long work out when he gives everybody the flashy mitt work, my point is a little bit deeper than the "flash". My point is how after years and years of training that his defense is COMPLETLY intergrated into his offense and that even though he is showing off(for the most part, alot of what you are calling flash also happens to keep his radar 'for feeling a punch comming' fresh and on point). Floyd style couples defensive technique along with reflex "feeling" what is going on in the ring around and in front of him.

Pac/Clottey was a tough sell, as practically no one on earth knows who Clottey is. The selling point was the stadium, and as an event it sold well at the gate and did respectable PPV numbers. Floyd has a "name" dance partner, so that helps. If May had fought Clottey I doubt he could pack a stadium.

Why would you bet that when you said yourself that the stadium
was the selling point of Pac/Clottey?
