Comments Thread For: Roger Mayweather, Naazim Richardson Talk The Big Fight

[Tweezy316]

No, probably to illustrate the difference between an intelligent black man/gifted trainer and a toothless rambling crackhead. There is a difference you know?

Furthermore, I am sure people are refreshed by seeing a trainer who isn't nonsensical, speaks with some thought behind his statements, is distinct and intelligible with his statements, and has real credibility behind his sentiments. I am sure Roger appeals to some people but let's face it. He was a subpar champ who got his ass beat by everyone who should have beat him, and it's fairly obvious he lives through Floyd Jr.'s accomplishments that he could never have achieved himself.

Consider the following: Freddie Roach clearly admits he is "the best trainer because he has the best fighter". Who does Roger train that's worth anything besides Floyd?

Sorry to get off track here, but Roger is a tool.

Oh shut up! Roger knows more about boxing then you or ****m could ever dream of. You don't know if ****m is showing off for the camera trying to make himself look good. People like Shane and Naz are believable because of the hate for the Mayweathers.

one adjustment just to brawl?
did he brawl against cotto? collazo? dlh? margacheato?

come on now man, i know you are a floyd fan, but your just way off with the sport itself.

try to come correct, you are embarrassing yourself.

if u disect the marg fight you can see a lot of technical qualities shane has, like the way he changed his jab, speed and pop, the overhand right, body work, combination punching, lateral movement, head movement, stepped back to allow marg to shoot that jab then pounce with an overhand right..
the way he would combo and tie up. mix in hooks to the body then to the head.


i could go on for days

coming in here saying a premier fighter has only one adjustment and it is to brawl just shows your ignorance and lack of knowledge to this sport.

do some homework

oh shut up. you'll see may 1st mayweather will make shane look old as hell and then all of you will come with the excuses. you always tryin to act like you know more than everybody. you ain't my dad back the **** up!! I'm a grown ass man. And i'm gonna speak my mind whether you like it or not!

How do you see Floyd beating Shane? Is there anything in particular you see in Shane as a weakness that can be exploited in this fight?

I am curious to hear some opinions on this because I personally don't see what Floyd has here that Shane can't handle.

Floyd can't hurt Shane if he hit him with Margarito's gloves. Floyd is fast, and counters well. Shane is fast and counters well, and puts combos together with POWER behind it. We have never seen Floyd hurt. Will he know what to do when he is rocked? Will he have Roy Jones Jr's heart getting off the canvas? Will his corner know what to do at all seeing Floyd getting busted up, or even cut for that matter?

Let's hear some thoughts here, pro Mosley and pro Floyd. I would really like to see what the variance in opinions are here at BoxingScene because I see this as Mosley's fight hands down.

Mosley's foot work won't serve him well against a person like Mayweather that will constantly keep him off balance. Keeping your opponent off balance takes away power. Floyd's defensive posturing will pose a problem for any boxer because its frustrating when you can't land much of what you throw. De La Hoya hit Mayweather with some good leather even snapping his head back a few times but it didn't stop Floyd from using his strategy of making De La Hoya miss more than hit.

Floyd will use his jab like a precision knife on Shane for this fight which will do some damage. Don't be surprised to see Mayweather stand in Mosley's pocket and make him infight more than he has with any other fighter. When I saw how Mayweather fought Chavez years ago it let me know that he can fight you and not just box when he needs to. Shane likes to throw those wide looping punches but look for Mayweather's upper cuts. The more aggressive you are with Mayweather the more you play into how he fights.

Interesting.

You know what I think is the key to beating Mayweather? A solid jab that disorients his rhythm, then uppercutting him on the ropes. I have NEVER seen anyone try to uppercut Mayweather. Think about it. Floyd shoulder rolls along the ropes constantly. People always try to hook him. Don't. Jab, jab, wait for the roll, UPPERCUT. No one has done this to Floyd that I have seen. I believe this is something he would not see coming at all and would work.

Think about how Mike Tyson used his favorite combo, right to the body, right uppercut to the head. If you can time his roll and land that uppercut, he could potentially roll right into the uppercut, very similarly to how Ike Ibeabuchi knocked out Chris Byrd. Remember that? Watch Byrd roll right into it, now picture Shane hitting Floyd with that same punch in a roll.

riiiight if only the other 39 fighters had thought of that

Did you watch that clip of Byrd getting destroyed by that uppercut in my last post? Ever seen anyone uppercut Floyd against the ropes in a fight? I haven't. It can work if you have the man's timing down.

Pullcounter, not being racist here, but it's obvious to me you are not African American. Go to your favorite search engine, type in urban dictionary, and learn the terminology before you attempt to use another race's terminolgy. If not, just stick to what you know.

damn pull, he just sonned your ass. hahaha

now, he put your ass "on blast" haha

[Pacquiao'd]

Understatement. As a black man watching Floyd act ignorant, hearing about Roger beating up in Melissa St Vil, and Sr's corny ass poems, its refreshing to see a black man, and a fellow ****** stealing to show without looking like an ass.

do you have proof that roger "beat" this chic up? NO, you dont.

now you just displayed your ignorance.

and naazim did make himself look like an ass, when he started talking about being a street cat and tried to validated whether or not someone else was street too..

like its some badge of honor.

this is tv and they are all human but dont sit here and act like Naazim was Ghandi or something b/c hes not

Disorienting Mayweather's rhythm doesn't stop him from changing and adjusting in a fight. De La Hoya used his jab and its a hell of a lot better than Mosley's. The problem is once Floyd figures out your game he then turns on his. Floyd will keep Mosley in the middle of the ring for this fight more than he has his past fights.
