    What is Mosley best punch again?

    What is Manny open for?


    The answer to both straight right hands.
    No... I am saying he won't win a round.

      He was coming off momentum for May 2009.. not May 2010.

        What does that even mean?The fight I was watching wasthe one where every time Shane went to throw a punch Floyd landed first. I assumed handspeed had something to do with that must have been all technical skill, speed is an unimportant factor on how fast you can deliver a punch. Floyd is a much better fighter than Hopkins ever was and the reason for that is that hes athletically superior. If Floyd had been the less athletically gifted fighter you feel as if the fight would have been exactly the same?

          Yeah, that's called timing. Oh wait, Manny is faster than Marquez so I guess that can't be it Maybe you can't differentiate between the two. Being fast doesn't automatically mean you just do that - it's not as if Shane is some slow poke.

            If Mosley lands a shot like he did on Floyd which you just made a big deal about, he would win that round.

            That is how he won the round against Floyd one big shot followed by another then not much else~

              To be fair it isn't all one or all the other.

              The combination of his technique, timing, and athleticism, all played apart.

                In that hypothetical scenario, sure.





                Mosley doesn't win a round.

                  No, reed. Saying something like "Floyd beat Shane using superior athleticism and speed" is just about the dumbest thing I've read all day.

                    Yes, Dazed.


                    It was a combination of everything.

                    Not just one thing.
