~Mayweather and Mosley: The Speed Difference.~

[gqjohnb]

I think Floyd is a bit faster, and his timing is the best in the game.

But, i think Shanes pressure and longer reach could pose some problems, other than that Floyds footwork is underrated aswell, he can put people off just by shifting feet.

Im banking for Shane, but think Floyd's got this...

I read somewhere that Floyd stated he would fight Shane again even if he beat him, is this true??

I think the reach will make little to no difference in this fight. Floyd will still be able to beat mosley to the punch whenever he wants to. Shane fights flat footed to much. I think a large part of the fight floyd will fight in the pocket though. We shall see in 5 days.

Anyone who thinks Floyd is much faster is wrong. They're about the same, but Floyd has impeccable and untouchable timing. His timing is so good, it makes him look faster, but he's not.

Floyd is definetly a lil faster. Mosley isn't as fast as he used to be, and his legs aren't what they used to be either. Once your legs go in that ring, its just a matter of time

You must've the skipped the part in my post where I talked about that. I mentioned this.

Mayweather the faster with single shots by clear margins but Mosley can still occasionally put together a quick combination. 10 years ago it might have been different.

Yeah I agree on Floyd clearly being faster with his single punches. The thing is with Shane and his combos is that due to Floyds speed, countering and reflexes hes rarely hit with combos.

I expect floyd to win, about 9-3.

I dont think Shanes speed is enought to bother floyd. Floyd has faster hand speed but also faster reflexes. I think that Floyd wont have much problems slipping shanes shots despite their speed and mayweather will be coming back and catching shane with counters.

I think shane will come out aggressive early but mayweather is too slick on the inside and will tie him up and block his shots and over the course of the fight we will see more of a chess match in Floyds favor. Shane can only win with pressure, he isnt outboxing floyd at mid or far distances.

Watched Cotto vs. Mosley again as I ate breakfast. And I must say Cotto was way faster then him. He beat him to the punch most of the fight. He timed Mosleys punches at will. His jab barely missed and he was snapping Shanes head back all night.

So how do you think the speed difference will be in this fight?

Even
Wide in Floyds favor
Wide in Shanes favor
Very Close in Floyds favor
Very Close in Shanes favor


I ask this because after watching that fight closely. Mosley did not look that fast at all. It wasnt because Cotto is this speed demon it was because Cotto was timing him PERFECTLY. Shane didnt let his hands go that much in fear of getting a crisp counter shot in his face. So in essence Cottos timing and speed made Cotto the faster fighter.

Now vs. Mayweather: Who times fighters better then Floyd? Who is more accurate then Floyd? Who has better reflexes? Who is smarter then Floyd? Then you have Floyds handspeed. Who I still think is faster then Pacquiao. Floyd throws the one punch alot faster then Pac throws his one punch. But Pac strings Combos better. But anyway I think the speed gap will be night and day in this fight. I actually feel Floyd will make Shane look slow. Floyd looks to be in much better shape then in the JMM fight and they are working on combos and handspeed in camp. People say Floyd was rusty vs. JMM Idont see it. I see him carrying extra weight and he was still blazing fast and still had INSANE reflexes.

Heres some hi-lights put together of the JMM fight showing just his reflexes:

The first 2:50 is the JMM-Floyd stuff.

I told yall the speed difference would be INSANE.
