    PBF is a slick counterpuncher. He's got fast hands, fast feet, good balance, good defense, is a great adjuster, and can fight off the ropes or at center ring. The only things out of those attributes I see Shane having a serious problem with is the footspeed, and to a lesser degree the handspeed.

    Will Shane get hurt, discouraged, outmuscled, or outworked? No. His problem is hitting PBF with enough hard shots to get rid of him. Shane's no slowpoke; his speed is lesser than Floyd's but not lousy. He'll put hands on the guy. Surely Shane knows to forget a straight right, and use crosses w/ short hooks. I don't think Floyd's defense will prevent him from landing when he's in position to throw.

    It's the getting in position that's going to be a problem for him. That's based on a raw physical attribute, that being Floyd's footspeed. I have PBF winning based more on not getting hit moreso than the offensive or psychological damage he does to Shane.

          I will say this. If Shane wants to win he better not let this fight be close. The world wants Mayweather and Pacquiao to fight. So if this fight is close Shane can forget about a Decision. He almost has to knock Floyd out!

              I'll also say this. Once Mayweather drops his hands the whole world will know it's all over.

                  The world will never get Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, because both sides are far too entrenched in their negotiating positions; whereas if Mosley wins, Pac-Mosley will be very easy to make. So the opposite of what you claim should be true.
