      right.. and shane could win just being shane but he needed to keep floyd off balance.. throw some left hooks... double jabs to the head and body.. then throw the right..

      not flick jab followed by right hand.. floyd knew it was coming after the second and kept his eye out for it.

        Again I'm just working on the tale of the tape, but i could be wrong. Regardless the straight is a shot he can get hit with, but whenever he's faced fighters that were very good with it(Mosley, Judah) he can adjust very quickly.

        I think Mayweather stood his ground and countered so effective that it made Mosley regret and fear any attemp at opening up on him. Mayweather's defense and offense were excellent in this fight.

          PBF just adjusts very well. The shots that hurt PBF were over the shoulder punch to the chin that is how you know it wasn't a straight shot. PBF would have had a lot of trouble with a younger Shane but I could certainly see PBF beating him in his prime as well as Shane having a great shot at beating PBF, would have been a great fight at LW.

            I think too that naz should have linked with shane much earlier in his career

            Double jab straight right hand to the body or head type of fighter would give floyd a lot of trouble..
            mosley's problem was that he wasn't throwing enough punches. also, when mosley back out or exited the pocket, he'd get caught. you gotta know how to get inside the pocket, then exit the pocket. everytime mosley moved away after being in the pocket, floyd would smack him with right hands.

                  The fact is the a lot of great trainers have tried to strategize to beat Mayweather and no one can solve the puzzle. Mayweather is a boxing prodigy just like Pacman, thats why this fight shall be made

                      Why are you saying that because he chased the bigger, stronger, and more financially rewarding De La Hoya? At that point I would say that DLH was the bigger challenge based on size and power. That DLH wasn't diminished, he was still strong and most definitely in his prime.
