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

[Pacquiao'd]

Why are you saying that because he chased the bigger, stronger, and more financially rewarding De La Hoya? At that point I would say that DLH was the bigger challenge based on size and power. That DLH wasn't diminished, he was still strong and most definitely in his prime.

got excuses?

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..

Double jab straight right hand? Where have I heard this before...

Excuses? Would you move up to fight a fighter that was more well known considered better all around that could launch you into stardom and give you a 7 figure income? That is not a excuse that is a legitimate reason to move up, he fought what was at that time considered the better fighter and certainly the more rewarding fighter. Be honest with yourself who was considered the harder challenge at that point. He didn't duck out he took a what was considered a harder fight.

I was shocked at how much Floyd discouraged Shane from throwing. No one likes to get hit and Mayweather clearly gained Shanes respect with his punches.
