Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Adviser: Floyd Will Knock Shane Mosley Out

[amayseng]

I recognize that as possible, but very very unlikely. Shane has never been that disciplined to execute a "plan". He starts every fight on his toes jabbing then launches a homerun swing right hand then clinching. You get off on Shane he's gonna try to knock ya dome off. If he outboxed May, because that's what you clearly got him doing in your scenario, it'd be a truly outstanding feat. But let's be realistic here, Mayweathers not gonna let him out box him or out think him. You said it youself he's the victor in both catagories. Good Luck Shane

maturity and situation add growth in life. shane went thro a divorce and is out a lot of money. he feels very comfortable and is confident with what naz is teaching and implementing. point being, he understands if he wins this fight how crucial it will be to a mega fight and mega money with pac or a rematch with floyd. i think he understands physical age and the adjustments needed.
he also understands now, how important gameplans and styles are.

i agree, like u and i both stated, floyd is overall the better boxer with superior skills, but floyd is also 33 and has been very inactive for the last what, 4 years? he will have some adjusting to do...

If Floyd was still fighting like he did in the lower weight classes, he would definitely get more kos. When he was exchanging and letting both hands go, he was one hell of a dangerous fighter.

But stopping Shane now ? I don't think so. Ellerbe is just hyping up the fight.
Floyd UD

Floyd "the dog" or Floyd "the gorilla?"

Floyd "the dogrilla"

[Rome-By-Ko]

ok, i have been studying styles for years and years. imo, styles win fights.

it is clear floyd is the better boxer, better skills, better defense and a bit quicker.

however, these guys are not going to be standing at an invisible line comparing skills,....

rounds win fights.....

floyd has not fought in combinations for a long time. he pot shots with accurate punches.

shane has the tools to win rounds.
shane will apply efficient and effective pressure throwing quick combinations to score points then HE will jump back out of range avoiding floyds single punches and pot shots. floyd fires while moving backward unless leading with his single straight right or left hook which shane will negate.
you will all be very surprised by how much shane lays back after throwing combos to negate floyds ability to score or be active. once the middle of the fight comes floyd will be down rounds and will start to lead, there shane will sit down on some power shots, changing floyd back to his counterpunching style...
once again shane goes back to plan A, quick punches, get out, move laterally.

floyds defense is exceptional, and shane will not be landing clean accurate bombs, but will be landing from time to time and scoring with activity.......

which will win rounds opposed to pot shots here and there...

shane will NOT be walking down or through floyds punches looking for a knockout...

shane understands he cannot try to "out athlete" his opponents anymore, but he does have the tools to implement a style and gameplan that can win him this fight....

ring generalship, combination punching and activity will win this fight over pot shotting, limited activity and punches thrown from floyd..

like i said, shane will NOT be chasing or taking punches just to land ONE.

naz is much smarter than that and shane has bought into his plan.

Great Post my man.But Mosley will be landing punches to the body especially.

[SmoothMon]

btw, a 1-2 is not a combination.

also, mayweather is not a walk down behind 1000 jabs fighter like winky.

totally different styles...

LOL sooo.. what is it. The infamous Straight Right Hand Right Uppercut that Berto used against that bum was a _________? Two punches is a combo. 2 or more punches grouped in a scequence is a combo

[chav]

if mayweather knocks mosley out thats some statement hes making, i'll be impressed for sure

[Tiozzo]

I don't buy this at all. Mosely went to war with almost the best Cotto I have seen for the full 12 and was the agressor in the last rounds, unhurt and unphased.

Everyone knows Floyd punches like a girl. I mean he couldn't even stop Marquez (and no I don't want to hear it was a 'tune up' or a 'sparring session' - if you are in a boxing match and you can stop it: you do).

It was obvious Marquez was there for the taking. Floyd should have upped the tempo and put pressure on Marquez in the fight much earlier than he finally did. He was landing virtually everything he was throwing, and Marquez didn't have the firepower to pose a problem. In that sense, it was one of the worst Floyd performances. He better put a clinic on Mosley. Expectations are higher this time.

I remember he was saying he wouldn't be satisfied with a decision over Maruqez, that this ''boy'' had to be stopped. Well...

[Ekscape]

This is the second person from Floyd's camp that has said Floyd is gonna stop him... Hmmm I'm starting to even get more intrigued about this fight, that would be insane if Floyd stopped Shane, unheard of

[And Still]

you save my posts? its nice to have a fan. that doesnt mean i didnt want him to beat hatton. i rooted for him with my son who watched with me

that was 3 years ago? floyd has been retired and inactive since then.
plus mosley has implemented a better trainer

I sent you a PM

I think you guys sometimes play into the whole media side of the fight a little to much. Look at shanes worst fight and best fight. His best fight to me was the Margarito fight. Of his career. In my opinion. His worst fight was against Winky. I could see him getting robbed if its it too close, I could see him getting the KO, and I could see him being foiled by the better boxer (this one being more realistic of all the 3). If shanes bad habits show up, it might be a long night for him. All in all, I see a great fight in front of us.
