    but those were some good videos. You've got some examples where he does quite well, but also often where he gets caught sleeping. Especially when he's on the front foot. I think his game relies more on measuring distance with his left than moving his head and using angles with his feet.

    Floyd is too fast and accurate for that IMO.
    ok. Say that then, don't come on here and disrespect shane's game like he's some kind of bum, because if floyd was fighting someone with no head movement, no footwork, no upper body movement people would be srceaming that he's fighting a tailor made fighter for him. Is that what you think? Floyd took this because shane can't move and knows its an easy fight?

    I guess shane's done pretty decent to remain an elite fighter for over a decade by measuring people with his left jab. Not bad for someone with no elite movement at all.

      shane is better than anyone else floyd has ever faced and now floyd's going to knock him out and shane has no game? all he does is stand flat footed and come in with a soft ass jab, no head/bodt movement, no footwork, and dead skiiny legs that will make him tire easily. LOL!!! I've been hearing all those things this week. This is shane mosley we are talking about, dude is a hof fighter fighting at his best weight that hasn't been ko'd to the body, beat down by FELIX STURM, struggled with steve forbes, etc. He's the first certified beast floyd has stepped in the ring with in at least 8 years.

      i share your enthusiasm of shane beating floyd but realistically, hes an offensive minded fighter with little head body movement, may will out defend him and win by UD base on points and may's defense is too good compare to shane's, the winner will be the one who gets hit where it counts and not get hit and may is a master at that.. that's the likeliest scenario

      but that being said i am hoping mosley pulled some trick out of his bag that we havent seen and pull an upset

        well, you can say what you want, but don't expect to be taken seriously.

        i'm predicting shane, but never did I shi t on floyd all week for his boxing ability. shane fans aren't like that. ya'll just have to put someone down to root for your boy.

          hey man I don't think Floyd is fighting Shane BECAUSE Shane is tailor made for him. I think he's fighting Shane because Shane was his best option after Pacquiao.

          But I do think Shane is kind of tailor made for Floyd. Shane loves when someone will walk into that jab of his. Floyd won't even be anywhere near that jab.

          Like I said, Floyd can lead with a punch and be confident that often enough Shane's head will be there to be hit. Shane can pretty much be sure that the second he flinches, Floyd's head will be somewhere it wasn't before.

            shane has good headmovement and good footwork. not good upper body movement.

            what you are predicting is the most likely scenario, however, i disagree. my prediction is in my thread. I am in here refuting all these people who are shi tting on shane and making utterly ridiculous claims about his boxing ability

                not at all. Don't jump to false conclusions.
