Yes Nazeem can make Shane more rounded however he cant all the sudden turn him into boxer. Shane will live for the 1st 4 rounds then the technical skills of Floyd will takeover.Comment

I like Naazim and I think he is a stand up guy but I don't know what he has done as a trainer. I tried to do some research on him and I couldn't come up with anything. The most noteworthy thing I seen was he discovered the illegal wraps from Margarito. Now everyone is saying he is one of the best trainers in the sport and this maybe true but I haven't seen a resume or any other standout fighters he has trained.
Will someone please enlighten me.Comment

the thing is that floyd is a DEFENSIVE boxer... he will do his thing day in & day out... he doesnt have to adjust, he just has to make sure he is 100%...
he basically forces his opponents to adjust to HIM. he is a great boxer with one of the best ring IQs of his era, he even admits to not watching tapes or not making a gameplan (whether thats really true or not).... but basically its like what can you expect from a fighter that curls up into a ball and doesnt engage???? so of course, its hard to implement a gameplan on a target that doesnt participate equally... its like trying to fight a porcupine or an armadillo... LOL. most fighters get impatient and get sloppy, then thats when floyd goes to work. floyd is a master at exploiting a fighter's loss of concentration and weakness.
im not impressed with the undefeated argument for floyd... for having a defensive style, he BETTER be undefeated. LOL. his WHOLE career was based off of not getting hit... the funny thing is, for an undefeated fighter, he was never considered "most avoided"...
winky wright was a defensive fighter, but his ramrod jab was lethal.... similar to floyd, he made good fighters look average... stylistically speaking. but the difference with winky is he stood his ground & took his opponents best punches and walked through them with his defense.... it was like a brick wall walking towards you. bottom line, he ENGAGED.Comment
