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

[THE REED]

I already had to take one breather in there earlier (our TV convo and a couple others).

I will be back to a full fledged lounge lizard tomorrow and next week after I either take my lumps in here on Monday or I come out and stick it to some people.

Expect lumps, son.

Lumps.

Shane throws combos at 147, he didn't at 154. Floyd throws very few combos now actually.

Hey I hope as much as anyone that Mosley puts Floyd on his ass I just cant see it. Floyd isnt the one who has to throw combinations since he will be on his bicycle and trying to potshot all night. Shane will have to throw a lot combos if he wants to have a chance at landing something significant. Hes going to have to hurt Floyd to get him to stop moving.

Flatfooted? Wow just wow!!!

Yes flatfooted. Maybe I should use different terminology just so you don't get shocked quite as much.

Nobody is saying that he is Alfredo Angulo in footwork, he still moves but he doesn't bounce anymore either.

I know, what makes people think they can discuss boxing on a boxing site in an intelligent manner.

Making a technical crtique while being completely unqualifed to make that critique shows when one call's a Shane Mosely a fighter who danced circles around Margarito something Miguel Cotto didn't come close to doing flatfooted. Do You really think when ****m told him "swim without getting wet" he meant take two punches to land one and stand right in front of him?

Mosley isn't no Judah on the stamina issue either.

Judah has good Stamina its just that he`s mentally weak when he`s in their with a live opponent.

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.

floyd takes break when he sits on the ropes and shoulder rolls punches.

If I fought Floyd I would never leave my corner, phuk chasing him around the ring, I would stand in the corner and wave him over. I would make him come fight me, Mosley is fast enough and hits hard enough as well as having a size advantage that Mayweather would have to be very careful trying to potshot.

I don't understand why no one else does that. Mayweather runs why not make him look like the b1tch he is and stand in the corner while he avoids trying to fight you. Mosley is fast enough to counter Mayweather if he has to come to him, however if Mosley is trying to counter while he is aggressive it could be mean pot shotting.

Everyone asks how he Mosley can win, he needs to make it a fight that is the easiest way I think it will happen, Mosley comes to him and we all know Mosley has a serious beard.

Ah I forgot... Walt has Mosley beating Floyd this Saturday... explains everything.

So do I Reed
but I do see your point and I agree Shane has the deck stacked up against him no doubt.

I find it very hard to think that Shane is going to be as wild sa he was against margs mayorga and vargas.
I think Naz will tune him up and he will land clean effect punches on Floyd

I strongly beleive that shane has the heart and chin to be there and landing in rounds 9-12

[Walt Liquor]

Flatfooted? Wow just wow!!!

Shane is a one dimensional, plodding, old dog who can't learn new tricks, he throws looping punches and is nothing more than a brawler. He has no ring IQ.

[THE REED]

Just for the record... I hope you are right and that Shane wins.

I will get smashed out of my mind in honor of Shane if he wins.

People think sometimes I'm a "*****" because I bet on Floyd or think Floyd will win every fight.

It really just comes down to me recognizing his skills, but I'm not really a fan.

But, I do respect him inside the ring.

On that note:

WAR SHANE!
