    Shane Mosleys hooks will be easy to see by Floyd, they do come with power but they significantly wide most of them time. Oscars hooks aren't as wide & yet Floyd was still countering the ropes.

    Floyd can adjust but the over hand right can cause him problems, especially when Floyd has got his body side ways.

      floyd just hasn't been in the ring with somebody that will make it happen like shane will. I been saying it for years that should roll don't protect a right to the temple. It may take some off the punch b/c he rolling the punch but it will land.

        well he rolls straight rights, looping rights are harder to roll but easier to see and unlikely to land clean. the straight right i was reffering to wasnt to be thrown to the head but to the body, thats where most punches should be aimed at against floyd.

        the only punch u should consistently throw to the head is the jab, feint behind the jab and dig to the ribcage. slow him down rack up points, trying to crack his dome with any single punch is only gonna get u counterpunched to death.

        the key is the jab, feints and combinations focusing on speed not power. shane needs to let his hands go, if he loads up floyd will not just beat him but destroy him. if shane throws punches in bunches without getting wreckless he has a great chance.
