Comments Thread For: Mosley Seeks Respect By Exploiting Mayweather's Flaws

[LEFTYGUNZZ]

Everytime I hear Shane talk, I think more & more that Floyd is going to beat his ass, bad. I made a thread about this like 2 weeks ago. He's too overconfident. Its not just about he will win but he doesnt see Floyd on his level. He thinks Floyd is like a little kid to him and an inferior fighter. Once the point comes when he realizes that Floyd is that good then the fight will be over.

He immated Floyd so he knows how Floyd thinks? What kind of dumb **** is that. Just because you portrayed him in sparring means that you know exactly how he thinks even though everyone thinks he's the smartest fighter in the game while they say that you show no ability to adjust. He also is talking about speed too much. Thats all he keeps talking about. He was talking about his speed against Margarito. Floyd aint Margarito, fool. Its going to be light years different. Meanwhile Floyd never says anything about speed. Floyd keeps talking about boxing & mental stuff.

Then you have this fool saying the craziest thing ever. Not only is he going to win but he's going to do it by outboxing Floyd. Wow. He better not try that dumb ****. If thats his game plan then he has no chance in hell to win. He's talking about reach & Floyd fighting littile guys but Floyd has also fought a mad amount of bigger & taller guys and Floyd probably has the longest reach in the game P4P. He's too overconfident. Floyd doesnt even talk about fighting Pac next but thats all Shane talks about. He is going to get beat bad

Floyd's reach = 72
Shane's reach = 74

If Shane wins PAC will fight Shane. If Floyd wins PAC will fight either Margarito or another TOP rank fighter after that. He and Arum are not going to give Floyd an opportunity at the pot of GOLD. If you think Shane is going to give away his game plan so Floyd can prepare for exactly what he is going to do then you are not as smart as I thought my friend. First he says he is going in to rush him and try to knock him out right? Now here is an interview saying he is going to try to outbox him and beat him at his own game. You and everyone else are not going to know what he is going to do for sure until he steps in the ring on May 1st and the bell rings.....Lefty

Oh yeah longest reach in the game P4P is Paul Willams 82 from 147-160 that is the longest reach in the game.

About the only weakness that Floyd has is when is fast jab is throw as they step in, he simply doesn't punch when it is done. If the fighter is not mentally strong Floyd's counter disincourage this around in rd 6 cause Floyd biggest asset is that he can adjust in mid-fight.

This is a competitive match, you cannot simply discount Mosley

Why is Mosley talking about this tape from FX? lol I've seen that tape of Floyd claiming he wants to break the record for title defenses, and at the same time move up to JrWW and be a 5 time world champ. This was in 98 when he was capable of making weight easy. But that doesnt mean **** cuz i've also seen the transcript of Floyd calling Shane out on media day in 99. Shane tells him to sign the contract but 1)never comes up with a contract lol and 2)moved up but he uses that one line as an excuse like he did something, well when there is nothing to sign Floyd cant exactly do much about that now can he Shane? Dude was dellusional abouth that just as his senile ass is dellusional about outboxing Floyd. "I'm longer he can't pot shot me" LOL Floyd's fought 4 guys 5-10 to 6'- I dont think Shane's 1 inch height advantage or SHORTER reach will be a big problem. Shane's a wild s.o.b. he's never boxed in his ****ing life, not even Margarito. Floyd might lose, he might get stopped, he might win a close decision, he might win a wide decision, hell Maybe he gets lucky and stops Floyd....any of the above are more likely than Shane outboxing Floyd LOL. Seriously this is a great fight, at first I had Shane but I know Shane better than any fighter and I know he can't beat Floyd. Floyd UD 116-111

[verybuff]

apparently many people here have never fought
you dont get punched in the face and out boxed for 4 rounds
because you want your opponent to tire out.
zab plain out boxed floyd for 4 rounds then did what he always does,
went a.d.d for the second half of the fight.
hell, zab even knocked floyd down, with a right check hook going backwards,
what happens when mosley lands good shots..
shanes bad habits will be corrected by ****m for this fight.

This is why I said part of it was Zab's talent. However, Floyd did come in with the strategy play defense and not take any chances in the first few rounds. He wasn't trying to get hit. If you come into the ring with a boxer who notoriously is a beast in the beginning and a slows down in the end. Why would you open up in the beginning. Zab was faster than Floyd in the beginning. Floyd obviously has a problem with fast southpaws. So he was extra careful in the beginning.

I do hope Naz corrects Shanes bad habits. It will be a tough task. I just want to see both fighters at their best.

FINALLY!!

I'm telling you guys, Floyd Mayweather is in trouble on May 1st and you're going to understand why he and Pacquiao both avoided this fight for so long. Mayweather has unusually long arms but - guess what - so does Shane. And I believe Shane is going to force him to come forward, where he's crafty enough to catch the smaller Floyd with big shots. Man, this is going to be sick!

[flint]

2 things that stand out in this article. mosley is changing his style and he basically said that De la hoya is 5ft. 4in. or 5ft. 5in tall.

You people are crazy if you believe Floyd will be able to potshot Shane all day and still win this fight. Shane has a great chin and most power punches don't hurt him nevermind a potshot. Shane has fought much better fighters then Floyd its a fact. If Floyd fought all the people that Shane fought better believe he wouldn't still be undefeated. Shane is gonna beat Floyd if not knock him out. Floyd isn't a tough guy and doesn't like to engage or take any punches. Shane is a tough bastard with the heart and skills to match. He is gonna walk Floyd down. If Floyd expects to win he will have to fight like the old Floyd because potshotting will not get the job done. He will have to fight like the old Floyd and let his hands go. And if he does that he will really get laid out.

And you clowns act as if Floyd cannot be outboxed like its an impossible task. For anyone saying that check out Mayweather's fights against Hatton, De La Hoya, and Zab Judah. Floyd did adjust and win all those fights but remember Oscar and Zab ran out of gas. Shane will NOT run out of gas. And if Shane gets Floyd hurt Floyd is going to sleep. There is a reason Floyd didn't want this fight. Shane is a combination puncher with great hand speed and power. All of Floyd's shoulder rolling isn't gonna stop all those punches. Shane's best punches are the straight/overhand right, left hook upstairs, and left hook to the body. Floyd has a lot to watch out for.

I totally agree with u .Shane will win this, possibly by stoppage..Floyd isn't going to be powerful enough to keep Shane away from him.Shane has the chin, and the will to keep moving on.Floyd isn't a busy fighter.

Floyd is going to retire Mosley this will be Shanes last fight he will get dominated and embarrassed this fight won't be close Shane is going to be fighting with emotions and that will be his downfall

ok, if you're so sure, do you want to make a points bet?

[jvsnypes]

Can someone please explain to me why they feel Mayweather will beat Mosley.Why do they feel like him and Pacquiao are so unbeatable? All of the greats lost, including Ali, Robinson, Leonard, Duran,and Haglar.Is Floyd really better than those fighters?Who has he truly beat that is on the same level with Shane? De La Hoya, who had a long layoff before their fight? Shane is right. Zab Judah gave Floyd hell for 4 rounds.Do you remember Floyd's corner pleaing with him to calm down and that Zab would eventually fade? The man was shook.But Zab is not a disciplined fighter and faded. Zab and Shane have the same abilities. The difference is,Shane is a warrior. He's a beast.When Zab got hit, he started backing down. When Shane gets hit, he takes it to another level.In other words, he hits back with a vengence.Unless Shane gets old in this fight, I honestly can't see any way Floyd can beat him.Floyd may be the better technician,but Shane is the better athlete.Plus he has more power,more experience,and has fought the better competition.And,****r Richardson is the ultimate stratigist. The results will be an upset in some peoples eyes,but not mine. Don't be surprised if this turns out to be a one sided boring fight.Once Floyd feels Shane's power, he will get too defensive.That will be the only reason he doesn't get KO'd. Shane has been outboxed before,but remember, those were guys that were bigger than him with longer reach. Shane had a hard time reaching them. Cotto was a beast and Shane felt his power and got too cautious.He will not feel that type of power from Floyd,especially if he simply tries to potshot him. This is a prime example of how f#cked up boxing is today.A humble fighter like Shane who has fought wars in the ring,is full of action with Ko power in both hands, and never ducks anyone, is criticized for losing fights.His losses are to guys that Floyd would have never even considered stepping in the ring with.And if he did, he would have suffered the same results.But the praises goes to guys like Floyd and Manny who pick and choose their opponents and look good because of it.Well...I'm a REAL fight fan that recognizes REAL fighters.Even if Shane does lose, he gets more respect from me than those 2 guys.
