    Why doesnt the over hand right from the sky beat Floyd Mayweather?

    Think about it?.. Floyd does all the razzle dazzle bullcr*p with his shoulder roll and danceing and cr*p.. why the hell dont fighters just rip the left hook to the body(yes Floyd will block) and then over hand right his face/head.

    Did you see in the video that Shane was training using the overhand right.

    Marquez had some success with the overhand right. Shane will look to capitalize.

      Marquez landed two big right hands in that fight. Both times the right hand was setup by multiple feints, and they were both against the ropes.

      Floyd does get hit, but Mosley will have to be as patient as a tortoise.

        Good points TS. I think the problem with an overhand right is that it's a punch that needs to be carefully set up and that's hard to do with someone that sees your every move coming. You need someone with great timing to pull that off like Marquez as many here have already said.

          It's not as simple as just ****ing the left hook to the body and throwing the overhand right.

          Feinting is probably the most effective way, but you can expect to be countered if your not fast enough.

            Jesus Chavez also found alot of success landing that punch, as did Corley. I think it's much easier for a shorter fighter to land it, Pacquiao would come from under with it.

              Marquez landed those two right hands because Floyd was rusty. Floyd waited too long on Marquez to make a move and got caught before he could slide to his left wich was marquez's right. Remember after the second right hand he didn't land another. Just ring rust thats all it was. Floyd will not and I repeat will not make that mistake against Mosley. He will stay in the middle of the ring. He also will be sharper for this fight.

                Well he does get caught twice before he made that adjustment.
                1:07 and 8:07





                Mayweather doesn't make the same mistake again. It's easy to tell Floyd is thinking about it

                  You are right that its not as simple as throwing the left hook to the body...but if you rough him up and man handle him to the ropes and land it, believe me he will feel it.

                    floyd has been caught with right hands, and jmm caught him with and overhand right in the 2nd and third round, and he landed a right hook on floyd in the 4th round--all times, floyd was on the rope---that's what shane needs to time--coz floyd eventually figured it out in the jmm, but shane hits harder and with more force---so he needs to focus some on that--and chop chop caught floyd with a right hook---floyd can be caught, has been caught before--shane needs to feint a lot more than he has even in his career---jmm is a counterpuncher, so he feints more----shane isnt---hopefully he'll feint more in this fight--he'll have to---coz floyd damn sure will feint---he has amazing balance---so it works against floyd, trust me---oscar landed an overhand right against floyd in rounds 11 and i believe 6---because he feinted---and floyd was on the ropes---
