The Shane that fought DLH would give Floyd some problems, as Floyd had good pop too and was lighting quick, but dont't think he would stand if Shane landed on his chin.

    It would either be FLoyd on the cards, or Mosley by KO/TKO and he was more than capable of doing it, especially against a 23yr old.
    Shane is MUCH faster. Floyd is quick, but he has never been in the OMG category of a Roy Jones, Hector Camacho, Shane Mosley, Meldrick Taylor, etc.

      Are you new to NSB? Floyd beats everybody in fantasy match-ups.

        I think Floyd outboxes any version of Shane. I will say 1 thing though. It all depends on how well Floyd can take shots to the body. Shane brings a different type of body attack than most sluggers/pressure fighters. He can move, dodge and use angles while doing it. Also, he can move with Floyd and has a pretty good reach himself, while, just like Floyd, can deliver shots at a very fast rate, and from angles only boxers like themselves can deliver.

        I can clearly see how Floyd would box the **** out of Shane, but I can clearly see how Shane can land bombs on him, and how well would Floyd take that? How well would Shane take constant counters to his head, and would he shell up and stop attacking? I don't know.

        That's why i wish we could see a prime Shane vs a 23 year old Floyd.

        I will say 1 thing though. 1 thing will always remain constant in a Floyd fight. Your punch output will decrease, and your ability to just blindly attack isnt gonna be there, because of the counter punching to the head. Its really up to Shane, and his threshold for pain, and bringing it for all 12 rounds. If he can, he wins. The thing is, most humans can't take getting hit to the head on the sweet spot, while missing the target for all 12 rounds.

        I voted Floyd, UD.
