i think people score de la hoya vs mayweather far too close generally speaking. oscar did a lot of fancy looking body punching that was hitting floyd's arms. i had floyd by a clear 4 points...

Maaaaan, my trainer almost knocked this guys head off. All clean punches, pivots, quick jabs and foot work. He purposley got in the corner the guy tried to rush him, he switched him around and smacked him in the ass when he tried to hit him. Guy almost went flying out the ring. I'll never forget it. That's the way I was taught to fight. Defense, and accuracy was key. I was never pressed to have a bunch of power in the gym. You could nuetralize power and nuetrlize speed, but you can't nuetralize skill. So you could keep all the muscles, my man.

IMO, if shane "outthrows" floyd, it won't be to an extent where its enough to give him rounds, let alone the fight....not when he's getting hit flush in his face.

Originally posted by SmoothMon View Postas much as I hate Winky's fight game I think he would have beat Floyd. Notice how these super talented guys succumb to these basic ass fighters. Roy got killed by a fundamental 1, 2 combo in Tarver twice. Shane and others many with Winky. Clottey would have done a hell of a lot better with Pac if his balls where in the ringwith him and not in Pacs reputation. Good defense and a jab goes a loooong way. I think that's why oscar did so well against floyd. His jab froze floyd for a few rounds that why he stayed in the fight. I think if u have a good jab and your quick to pull the trigger u can open floyd up for other things. But the thing is I've seen floyd adjust when he does get hit a lot. So then u would have to change your game plan. That's why he gets my respect.

Originally posted by TYREL View Postagreed, but my point is that shane is not necessarily known as a "busy" fighter. he'll trade, but shane isn't the type of guy to overwhelm an opponent with activity, ALA a margarito or a PW.
"activity" won't be a factor in this particular fight anyway, considering an opponent throws far less against floyd, than they normally do, b/c he's such a quick and accurate couter-puncher....he kinda forces the opponent to "think" in the ring.

Originally posted by romebyko View PostI agree with this but the way Floyd fights he is very hesitant.To say activity won't be a factor is just not a good way of looking at it.Mosley is not a Marga's or a Pwill but neither is Hoya.Hoya was never known for throwing alot of punches like either of those fighters.But judges look at who is making the fight.Which fighter is pressing the action.I believe we will see both of them pressing the action.May is going to make Mosley fight a very smart fight and honestly people are going to be shock at Mosley's boxing ability.
1) that fight was at JMW, oscar's weight class...
2) oscar chose ring size....
3) oscar chose glove size....
he stacked the deck, and clearly lost the fight.....to most ppl watching it.
