Floyd vs. Shane LETS BE REAL

[ajohnz]

First off yes it was good win for Floyd no doubt but lets consider the facts.

1. Shane gassed out early
2. Shane was an aging fighter at 38 and trained earlier for the Berto fight
3. Shane did not move his head, stick and move etc.
4. Shane threw a lazy jab that had no effect.

These are all facts in Shanes fight against Floyd...

all of which are only exposed because he fought a supreme athlete who could expose him.

I'd give Floyd credit if he fought a fighter who would have been competitive. This is such an overrated win, it's ridiculous. All Shane really had was a punchers chance. No way in hell was Shane going to be able to box Floyd to a decision. I think the 24/7 series brainwashes people into thinking the hand-picked opponents have a chance like Marquez and Hatton, haha. It's a good win, but I don't think it was good enough to put him in the number one spot. Pacquaio beats De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, and Clottey within a little over a year and Floyd beats a small Marquez and an old Mosley and you get the Pound-4-Pound number one spot for that? Wladimir Klitschko deserves more than Floyd because he CLEANED OUT THE ENTIRE DIVISION! Did Floyd do that? No.

Jermain taylor isn't 38 and he usually doesn't fight elite P4P fighters after an 18 month period of inactivity.

I really dont want to hear that. Thats crap. Taylor has bad stamina and no one says a word. These same people said Floyd would never fight him now he does and beats him up its a problem.

"Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there, and second, you're too good a fighter."

That quote is fake.

um NO

Roach, who administered the terms for Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya last year. “I spoke to Shane and told him that we would fight him at 142. He said he can’t make that weight.”



Mosley asked why not 147, as Manny/Oscar was set at 147? Roach said that Mosley is not De La Hoya in terms of setting a weight handicap.

How come people keep giving Pac credit for his wins over Hatton and De la Hoya but dont give Mayweather the same credit even though he beat hem first? The win over Cotto is a great victory for Pac no doubt, but Mayweather's victory over Mosely is just as great. If you bring up Mosely's age then you have to also mention Pac's catch weights clauses.
