Comments Thread For: Mosley: Mayweather's Defense, Speed Won't Prevent KO

[mrjoeblive]

Lets see now, what was it somebody said, oh yes , Floyd is a rabbit, what do rabbits do when you get them in a corner ? They faint. The rabbit is going to the corner, if little Jmm can put him in a corner for a moment and nail him with a right hand then the Nightmare will put some mustard on his right and the rabbit will faint, right ! LMAO

I love this fight ! Don't yall love this fight ?

Do you love this fight , come on man.

twosweet, we may never agree on certain aspects of the sweet science but i do love the passion you have for the sport. just know im going to give you the fits when floyd beats shane.

Gayweather is one of the best coward boxer in the world she choose only chicken fighter like marquez..

fyi that chicken fighter gave your boy pac mad trouble and won the last fight in the minds of many.

i suppose handing margarito his only KO loss doesnt mean nothing then to say about mosleys power?.

everyone go re watch floyd vs oscar.

see how easy oscar in certain points of the fight manages to jab and outland/outwork floyd here and there,how floyd doesn't defend all that well against a past it oscar who doesnt fire off like he used too,he isnt as fast,powerful or versatile as mosley,shane wont tire out and hesitate like oscar did.

Shane will look younger if anything. hele box smart,doing different things to confuse floyd and stop floyd being comfortable and make him all bothered and confused,hele have sharp punches,fast combinations,good movement of the upper body and good footwork ring generalship.

shane will look to get off first everytime,land hard jabs and get straight right and left combinations landed and then not stay right infront of floyd all the time,hele be able to counter nicely,work the body well too,even make floyd come to him and fight floyd of the backfoot.

once he stops floyd getting off first and stops any flow of rhythm range or comfortable timing that floyd likes to use then shane will come on strong and outland and hurt floyd with speed and power hes never experienced before.

this strategy is only good for fight night round 4.

shane HAS to set his feet to get his **** off and floyd simply wil not be there 70 % of the time . the other 30 % hele be eating jabs and right hands

Are you kidding me ? Ha ! Oscar was a shell of a fighter the night he fought Mayweather in his best prime. He was beating Jr. He gave out , no stamina and QUIT jabbing and the only reason he lost is because he quit jabbing. All he needed to do to beat May was throw about 5 jabs per round more than he did and he would have given jr. his first 0.

You will see a jab from Mosley but you will have to look fast , cause its so fast, he will throw three or four and you will only see one.

the reason he stopped throwing the jab is, he kept getting countered over the jab so he was forced to stop. thats one of floyds biggest assets. he can take away your best asset. the man is extremly intellegent in the ring and its whats kept him at the top of the game.

Its comments like that which lead me to believe that Shane will lose May1st. I think Shane is falling into the same traps that caused him to lose in the past. In the past Mosley depended on his speed and power to defeat fighters. The problem is when the speed and power didn't work he had no answer. He lacks tactical skills. With Vernon Forrest it was a total mismatch but when you look at the Wright and Cotto fights its evident that when Shane's speed and power doesn't overwhelm and opponent he is lost. For some reason he feels that Mayweather will simply wilt under his power. ODLH thought he would simply walk Floyd down to and found out very quickly that it wasn't as easy as he thought. I personally believe that Floyd is more durable than what people are giving him credit for. I also think the Margarito fight has given Shane a false sense of security. Since when has Shane Mosley been a wrecking ball puncher? I am not saying he can't punch and I am not saying that he can't knock Mayweather out because any fighter can be knock out by another fighter giving the right situation. But in Mosley's last 14 fights he has had 3 knockouts (21%). One came against Vargas who has no longer had any punch resistence. The other 2 came against guys who he could hit repeatedly with power shots with ease (Margarito & Mayorga). This doesn't exactly scream one punch power! Yet he seems to think he is a wrecking ball. Even if he does catch Mayweather clean a few times there is no guarantee he knocks him out. He couldn't knock out Colllazo or Cotto, neither of which is known for having cast iron chins. I think he is making a big mistake already

wow man. this a good post. you state your arguement then back it up with facts good post.

you are right shane does have to set his feet in order to deliver the type of power shots he think will give him the victory. and i think all the swinging and missing will cause shane to be winded by round 9.

i wasnst impressed with fraud gayweather against an overweight sluggish stationary marquez...if fraud couldnt KO marquez, how is fraud gonna KO shane? shane will provide more challenge to fraud than did marquez...just because marquez was considered one of the better pound for pound...it was clear that marquez was out of his weight element at the welterweight division.

i look for shane to tag fraud often and enough to either get a UNANIMOUS OR TKO decision...i also can see a straight out KO by mosley before the 8th round...

u must be one bitter pacquiao nuthugger.Raw hatred!!

[niceguy45]

regardless of all this arguement brought by ****m, this is the mindset I want shane to be in,
floyd better be ready, shane is not ****** he knows what mayweather is going to do;
he has done it his whole career, shane better capitalize on exchanges when he gets close,
and to be honest shane will catch floyd, I know for a fact that mayweather is the favorite to win and all, but shane has a very good chance to beat mayweather he has all the tools;
all we have to wath If he can actually pull it off in the ring, we all know shane has power and can box and slugg you out, and we all know mayweather can boox for 12rds,
now mosley's chin has been tested and he has a very solid chin, can we say that about mayweather ? is questionable......we have to see may 1st......to close to call , but be sure it will be very interesting to watch, I can't wait, I like both fighters coming in,
and I'm leaning over mosley's side, I don't hate on mayweather he is one of the best,
but he is gonna have to bring it to beat shane, and we really can't predict, only May 1st

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

Thats what ive been hoping anyway!!!

[GRUSTLER]

Mosley said that his wife said worse to him than Mayweather, Ha ha!
I thought that was funny.
