Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Trainer: Floyd is Knocking Shane Mosley Out

[Pretty Boy Greg]

Ironically the only one who seems to catch hurt feelings regarding any of my posts is you, you keep responding to me not the other way around remember that, and secondly someone somewhere must believe that I am knowledgeable enough to cover the sport, because I'm paid for it and can prove it to you easily if you like? Difference between you and I--I get paid to do what I do and you simply have "a hobby".

what do you do switch?

[waxfondler]

What do you think about Manny Pacquiao's career? Easily matched?
Yes or No?

HAHAH. who the f**k is talking about manny?!?!?! yet you keep bringing him up. LOL. we are talking about floyd.

I think there's more to a lot of us than meets the eye :-)

dlh outweighed floyd by at least ten pounds. put it like this, dlh had the same weight advantage that floyd had over jmm. difference is, floyd still found a way to win.

dlh also made sure to select the smallest ring possible, selected the gloves and weight class.

if pac would of fought DLH at the same requirements I think we would of seen a different fight... not saying oscar would of won or kicked pacs ass but I think it would of definitely been a hell of a lot more competitive

you have also turned into a troll since cotto went down... pull yourself together dude

I agree. I thought that it was a different Pull from before.

I was just asking Rome a question that's all.

On fight night Floyd was 148LBs and Oscar was 160LBs
and that's a fact.

Gruss since you fancy yourself as a knowledgeable fan of the sport, I have a few questions so humor me if you will.

In many of your prior posts you compared the lack of criticism geared towards Manny as opposed to the criticism that Floyd receives, which you feel is obviously unfair. Now before you go into the prerequisite label of "*******", know this I'm neither Filipino nor do I take a nationalistic approach to any sport.

Do you think you can honestly compare the roads that both fighters have taken, without putting into context how long it took each of them to arrive to a specific weight division? Explain how the criticism can be equal with one fighter having joined the division back in 2005, with another who has been there for a little over a year?

if floyd gets a KO, it will have to be something BIG (which i doubt).
it all depends on who the assigned referee is...
most officials should respect shane enough to not call a premature stoppage.
shane deserves the right to fight till he quits (which i also doubt).

as for throwing in the towel, i think brother ****m has faith & confidence in shane. i think he will respect shane as well... shane is a big boy, i would think he would let him last till the decision is made. IMO

again, this is all speculation that somehow floyd becomes some heavy-handed puncher all of a sudden... lol. or some super aggressive pressure fighter that outhustles shane.... floyds stoppages came from fighting slower fighters that couldnt time him and had no answers for his pot shotting...
floyds style caters to decisive victories... lets not act like it doesnt. its not like floyd is boasting an amazing KO average.

Oh I definitely agree with you, but how quick do you really think Shane is going to be after a 16 month layoff @ 38. I hope we dont see an old Mosley but Floyd has a way of making fighters look like they are cashed. i think we are going to see a huge difference in speed in the first couple rounds and if I'm right than you will see floyd stop a slower fighter that couldnt time him and had no answers for his potshotting

I never used the term ******* when replying or posting to anyone.
I try not to engage in posts like that. Each boxer/fighter has gone
the road that was meant for them. In actuality you cannot compare
Floyd and Manny at 147 because no matter what bigger names Manny
fought, fact of the matter is Floyd became the Lineal WW champion
of the division. Forget about the names Manny fought, Floyd was
on top of the WW division, PERIOD and Manny is not because Shane
was there waiting for him. If you really want to get technical, how
can you compare Manny when he fought one weak champion and
skipped all the threats at 135 while Floyd comp was by far the
better. I like Manny Pacquiao's style and approach but it is
not right to blast one fighter and praise another, especially since
both have done and gotten away with their share of things.

Cotto started at 140 and Floyd started at 130. Who was more
green in that division? Just admit that Floyd has always been
too good of a fighter technically for Cotto.

i agree, hard to argue that. cotto wouldve been a tough test though, his timing may have been able to keep it competitive.... but i wouldve put money on floyd if that were to happen.... but still, floyd vs cotto wouldve been $$$$$$ and another elite fighter on floyds resume... the fact it didnt happen is what is disappointing...
