Why I Think Mosley Has A Real Chance

[Doctor_Tenma]

Right but mentally that can keep Shane in the fight ya know? I'm just a firm believer in the Floyd fight not being a physical thing with Shane....I don't think it was him being physically shot, I think Mayweather just mentally beat him and made him think he couldn't touch him.

That's really what I'm basing on so if someone doesn't agree with that they're gonna disagree with my whole point haha.

I know exactly what your saying man, it's like, a very fatigued fighter can push himself when the opponent in front of him lacks defense. Thing is, I may be in the minority in this, but I actually think Pacquiao has good defense. Maybe not against the ropes but good defense nonetheless. He knows when to get out.

get out of my head....


i see it as well. its whe he wants is and its all about his footwork....

[educator06]

good thread; logical conversation.....i believe that shane will show a nice jab in this fight...he is more versatile than given credit for....i have shane in an upset...yes, i'm a shane fan; but i also know a lil bout boxing and styles...

Even if ****m throws in the towel, pac should still get major props... cuz that other guy couldn't stop mosley

That is so little boy my Tonka truck is better than yours ,,,,

The Mosley that Floyd beat is the one Manny ducked blatantly ,,, this one today is backwards from then ask Mora , how do you ignore that lol , some of you kids are brain dead .

Always thought that too, and when he does get hit it's hardly flush.

I agree, Pac's defense is underrated. But he has a willingness to exchange that true defensive fighters don't have. His defense has come a long way, I'm completely with you, but he's still Pac ya know? Like he'll get touched and go on the offensive. I mean, Margarito landed a lot on him...that can't be ignored completely.

I think Mosley could get overwhelmed and get discouraged that way. Just overhwelmed with activity, but Shane isn't afraid to smother him and Cotto nor Margo do that.

This fight is just kind of interesting to me, I know I'm in the minority but there are elements I find intriguing.

if shane blasts pac and it does nothing (especially because pac will see it coming) he will get discouraged. remember shane is older and has not built up confidence in his last couple fights.

he always knows what to say before a fight and I can tell its not the old shane...(IMO)

shane is physically shot imo because he can't bull the trigger anymore and he fools people by throwing one quick shot and dancing around on his toes, he appears quick from the outside and when he throws his right...he is nowhere near what he was physically. he relies on one punch, if that punch lands and does nothing...he'll probably quit, not beciase he wants to but because his body just does it.

he was able to wind those punches way up against margs cuz margs was laying on the ropes and leaning into him..pac won't be doing much of that

His defense is alright but I wouldn't go beyond that, he fights in an open manner but he makes it works because he doesn't overly stay still and he throws a ton of punches which makes other fighters not throw as much back. His offense plays a large role in his defense.


Still he fight to open which is why he gets caught to much, if he kept it tight he would get hit a lot less but it would be tougher for him to get off which would make him a fairly different fighter

[LMFAO]

Sugaroids Oldsley will show up to pay Arum and Pac their "respect". Take his last big payday and **** off. That's an honest Arum guarantee kids. No more no less.

Ask 147 Marquez who's next for the cash coward. Like it or not.

against bigger opposition, i think pac's footwork makes his d above average if he wants it to be.....

now, this is against the comp he's faced, of which floyd IS NOT one. floyd is a sharpshooter, manny's d has improved greatly against dudes throwing combos at him or that are waiting for him. floyd=different ballgame. shane- not so much.
