Comments Thread For: Mayweather Says Mosley's Lack of a Jab is a Big Problem

[switchsouthpaw]

Well if you wanna get technical none of them are welters. I think all of them can make 140. Well Shane and PBF but according to Manny and his team he's really 135lbs. Did he make Marquez or did Marquez try to out do Manny? Only a hater would try to diminish what Floyd is doing right now. He's fighting guys Manny wouldnt fight.

Why do you continually insist on bringing up Manny's name in all of your responses? I haven't mentioned him once, is that your defense mechanism kicking into high gear? PBF can't make 140 in a healthy fashion, stop being delusional. May loves money so much, why would he pay a penalty to Marquez if he couldn't make the weight for that fight?

Maybe because it was his first fight back and a guy that can make 146 his first fight back probably can make 140 wouldn't you say so? If the big fights were at 140 Floyd would be there also like Shane said he would to fight Manny and like Zab is now. These guys are not natural welter-wts in the way that Ray Leonard and Hearns were. Their clearly doing it because they can. I figure since you don't know Floyd personally and you hate on him you must be a Manny fan cause you aint no boxing fan if you can't appreciate the epitome of the sweet science (PBF).

You honestly think at 33 years old, he can make 140 and still be healthy and at 100%? C'mon dude really?

I've said on numerous occasions I respect his talent. I think he cherry picks and looks for the slightest advantages, rather than fighting legitimate welterweights since he became one in 2005.

You just label anyone who questions him or criticizes him as a hater, when I can simply turn the same argument around and say you're on a grown man's ****....see how that argument works both ways?

I've actually interviewed his uncle (went to dinner with a few other writers) and not the one that trains him, my question to him was "Is Floyd really that much of an *******, or is it all an act"...his response to me "It's not an act"....100% god honest truth.

Please explain this logic. If you can make 146 then you can make 140? According to who?

According to no one, the kid is delusional.

I've made a few big posts about the whole Mayweather-Mosley thing in a few other threads, so let me just take this angle:

If Shane has enough speed to land, things could be interesting- it's that simple. I know he can box well enough to make Mayweather uncomfortable if he applies good pressure so;

If Floyd starts slow and gets hit with a sharp little punch (like the early KD in the Judah fight that wasn't called- and yes I know it was just his glove that grazed the canvas) it could be a bigger deal. Mosley hits harder, he's a bigger guy than Zab, and he's always been a good finisher. Floyd needs to use that defense; but if he does, Shane can win rounds with activity. Then, if Floyd doesn't want to lose a UD, he's got to box, and that MIGHT leave an opening for Shane.

Who knows if the old guy can use it, though.

I know you've repeated the same line in a thousand different threads, that wasn't a retirement that was a prolonged vacation AKA "big bad Larry Merchant told me I was boring and people left the building (Baldomir) and made me cry at the podium, so I'm taking my ball and going home...exclamation sad face".

Switch correct me if I'm wrong, but Floyd retired after KO'ing Hatton in 2K7. By you mentioning Baldomir that would mean that the Hatton, and ODH fight never happend(which we both know is not true as they are more than likely listed on BoxRec).

So in essence you are saying that Floyd retired(prolonged vacation) after just 3 fights at WW and not only are you saying that but you are also saying that Floyd minus the 21 month lay-off only has a total accumulation of 13 months of WW experience. Not to mention the fact that he ventured into JMW for one fight.

Sooooooo by your logic we have a Boxer who became lineal champ at 147, went up to 154 to snag a belt and then came back down to 147 to defend his lineal championship crown and ended that fight by TKO. Sounds like we have a Boxer on the cusp of being a legitimate ATG by looking at the post you made that this post is in response to.

It's apparent you dont know much about boxing or Floyd. Floyd comes into the ring weighing 148. The highest he has ever weighed was 150 against Oscar and that was clearly too heavy for him. Now you tell me can a man that comes into a welter-wt fight weighing 148 make 140? Of course he can if he had to. I label anyone that can't admire the fact that in his 2nd fight back he's fighting a guy the so called P4P guy wanted absolutely no part of. Why not move past all the criticism and give props to the man for doing what he's doing.

I think floyd's lack of testicles will be a big problem.
