Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley May 1: Who R U Picking?

Manny is a lot better fighter now. Maybe the steroids or maybe he has become a better "Boxer".

 

I don't think volume of punches will matter when he is only going to be landing about 15% of them. That seems to be the problem when people fight Floyd, he takes them out of their usual game plans. I just don't see PWill winning. The fight against Martinez showed that he can get countered and his volume of punches won't mean a whole lot when that starts happening.
Unless Williams learns to use his height, he isn't going to beat Floyd.

At this point, I think most fighters really don't want to fight Floyd for anything other than a pay day. Go in there, get dominated, get a big check.

 

Actually I have changed my opinion of Floyd after tonight's fight. Didn't you see the sentence 'I am not sure if pac can beat him.' Floyd, if he wanted to, could have been a crowd pleasing fighter. He could have taken Shane out of the fight many times. So, quit reading into to things. Floyd made me a believer tonight and I LOVE the way he fought.

Oh, and by the way, it looks like money might not be a dodger any more. He said that a fight with Sergio Martinez is possible.

 

As a Floyd supporter, you don't even seem to be giving Floyd credit for what he CAN do. In the only fight that Pwill's lost, it was against a smaller quicker guy. Quintina isn't even in the same universe as Floyd is. Floyd would destroy pwilliams in my opinion.

Judging by last night I'd say that Floyd is ready to show the world the kind of brutal fighter he can be and if last night meant anything, Money has me as a fan now.

 

I think taking blood a week before the fight takes away from guys who work. Shane didn't look old, he looked like he couldn't catch his breathe after that 2nd rd. Pretty much what pac man said happened to him the one time he did the blood thing prior to the fight. I don't want to take anything away from floyd because he's proven to be a great fighter, i didn't and still don't see why the purse can't be held until after the blood results after the fight. The can take blood immediately after the fight and there is no way a boxer can cycle through whatever and not get caught. If something comes up, hold their winnings.

 

RJJ in his prime was pretty much a god in the ring. He was like lebron, jordan, or wil; he had such ridiculous athleticism and in general out classed his opponent based on just god given talent. I don't think he has the technical skill of mayweather and I don't think money has the abilities of rjj. Floyd is probably the smartest fighter I have seen.

 

By the looks of an 11 round to 1 round win Manny will DESTROY Floyd? I guess by that rationale, Floyd's anniahalation of Marquez must mean NOTHING to Manny fans.

 

Manny fans talk exclusively out of their asses.

 

And Mayweather fans need to get off that Mayweather nutsack express...

 

What about the annihilation of both De La Hoya and Hatton by Pac?? The last two fights by both man have been pretty dominating to say the least.. cotto/clottey both dominated by Pac... Marquez/Mosley dominated by Mayweather... It is going to be a balls to wall of a fight, boxing fans will rejoice once again...

 

Floyd has always been a smart fighter (not saying you sadi he was not). He said he was going to make a statement tonight and he did that. Glad to see you appreciate him now. I'm always impressed when someone mans up and admits they were wrong. Most on this board won't do that. Kudos to you.

I don't see Floyd going to 160 because he walks around at 154. He's just to small. Srgio could make 154 but he has big money rematches with Pavlik (he has no choice here) and PWill at 160. Maybe after that we will get to see a fight with Floyd.

 

I don't mind the immense amount of love that Pac fans have for their fighter. What I detest is their lack of knowledge of the sport. I have yet to meet a Pacquiao fan that knows anything about boxing, or has any knowledge about any Manny fight before 2008.

 

Yeah but PWill was believing his own fhype and was not himself in that fight. He went to Puerto Rico to train, partied and came in flat against an ackward fighter in Quintana. I just think PWill's style is all wrong for Floyd because he's going to throw 100 punches per round. Don't get me wrong, Floyd is a much better fighter, but the way judging is today rewards workrate over actual defense and landed punches in most cases.

 

A dead DLH who had not made 147 in like 10 years and a Hatton who Floyd had just beat the **** out of. LMAO. Manny nuthuggers are the worst. Manny's most impressive wins (and they are extremely impressive) are Morales 2x and Barrera 2x. It's not even close

 

He is going to miss about 90 of those punches though, therein lies the problem.
His workrate is what separates him from the rest of the fighters. Nobody works like that, except sometimes Pac. Paul's workrate would slow dramatically after he goes 3 or 4 rounds missing and hitting nothing but air.

 

Money was stunned, but recovered after the 3rd round pure Heart.

 

I think that judges appreciate Money's style. I mean he has never lost a fight to scoring. Also, Mayweather's speed alone tends to lessen his opponents' spirit. On the other hand, floyd has to accept the fact that he is actually going to have to fight and get hit, whether it be against williams or martinez. I think last night he showed us that he is willing to mix it up. The problem is as soon as he did, he got wobbled with a flurry of punches. Floyd showed me that he can be a warrior type fighter. Also, don't discount his "camp," which reminds me of Mike Tyson's back in the day. Floyd might be following the same path of no-nothings in the ring. If Mayweather gets into a Buster Douglas type fight and panic ensues.

 

I think he'd land at around the 20-30% range. PWill's just a different animal. I'd love to see that fight though

 

EPO really helped Mosley in previous fights, and can be cycled out of your system before a fixed date. Only random blood test can detect EPO and other PED.

 

How did Mayweather lose the 1st round???
