    The fact is ... Floyd has trouble with straight punches

    If shane threw straight punches like in training.. He could have won. straight right hand landed on the jaw.. then after that he throws wide punches i dont get it .anyhow

    I think too that naz should have linked with shane much earlier in his career

    Double jab straight right hand to the body or head type of fighter would give floyd a lot of trouble..

    Against Mayweather Mosley's straight were too slow and Mayweather had a better reach with crisper straights.

        mays reach is shorter... but the throws from the chest.. whereas shane tends to wind up

          in the tale of the tape i believe the reach advantage for Mayweather was 3 inches.

              i think i saw a 1" advantage, but you're right. floyd had a reach advantage nonetheless.

                Its all about inches, after floyd adjusted to the right distance to keep and how much he had to roll his right with his shoulder Shane couldnt find him no more with his right. So, he went to his old self, try to land a big winded punch that couldnt land all night.

                  Pacquiao got his face torn up by a slow B-level african who threw six punches.

                    The punch that hurt Mayweather was a looping right hand. Looked almost hookish.
