Mosley beating Floyd isn't just... does he have the skills..

[AllEyesOpen]

But the stamina.


You can implement an excellent strategy to outhustle or outwork Floyd.

Or try to expose his defense in one way or another...

But the thing about fighting Floyd is..

You can't get tired while you are doing it.

At all.

In any round.


Floyds stamina is partially what makes him so great.. his skills coupled with the fact the man does not get tired, at all.


To me it's one of the biggest differences in this fight... I think Floyd will be able to sustain a higher energy level than Shane consistently throughout 12 rounds.

I see your point, but i don't think it's so much that Mayweather's opponents have stamina problems, it's that it takes a lot of work to try to get in on Floyd.

If Mosley's effective at cutting off the ring and landing on Floyd then he should be good, but if he's wasting energy and missing shots trying to find Floyd then that will be his downfall.

Shanes inability to throw combinations is whats going to lose him the fight. If he could go in there and throw punches like he did at 135 hed have a chance of catching Floyd and hurting him. Loading up on his hooks isnt going to work against Floyd and he'll find himself missing a lot. Being bigger and having more muscle could have lead to him having less stamina which makes him unable to throw those combinations.

what are you talking about he threw plenty of combinations to margarito. i just dont see them landing on floyd unless he throws the jab with authority which i dont see whats so hard about throwing a jab

I am not going to an extreme though.

Don't take that as meaning... Mosley is going to be sucking wind by the 6th round. Mosley will be in excellent shape.

My point is this:

I think Floyd will be able to sustain a higher energy level than Shane consistently throughout 12 rounds.

I hear you.

Which will probably happen........

Fighting Margarito is playing Tee Ball.

Fighting Floyd is trying to spear a fish with a stick.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Yall missing one big factor. Shane legs will weigh a ton by Round 5. Then after Floyd opens fire on the statue.

Did you also see the wide telegraphed hooks he was throwing?

You do that to Floyd and you get countered straight down the pipe!

He wont be tired, but those legs surely will be heavy.

lol his legs are heavy but he aint tired? he's fat then...

I just think Mosley will have to be focused and disciplined to make this a close fight.

Hmmmm, I don't know. I think one of the intangibles in this fight is that Mosley is indeed there the entire fight. It's really about who's going to set the pace IMO. I think in order for Floyd to really get off he needs distance, and I'm not too sure if Mosley is going to allow Floyd the ability to counter him consistently. I think Floyd will def land straight rights and move out of the way, But I don't think Floyd can do that for 12 rounds with the style Mosley is bringing. Guys like Hatton & De La Hoya tried being aggressive, but with no real game plan of attack.

One thing I notice with Floyd is that when he does get hit, he doesn't show at all that he's hurt by any means, but you can tell he gets a lot more cautious which may or may not work into his favor come Saturday.

Shane flicks his jab unstead of rotating his arm and putting some power behind it.

What will probably happen in this fight REPETATIVELY is Shane not being able to do anything in the middle of the ring, getting frustrated and lunging in every now and then, get some body shots in and get the crowd excited before smothering himself in close. Similar to what Oscar did.

Unless he completely suprises me, gets on his toes and make Floyd come to him as a gameplan, which I doubt.
