No.

if mosley can agree to it, then, come on, pacman could have too. but pacman would rather lose the biggest payday of his career and the biggest fight of the decade instead of taking the testing. pbf was asking pacman to undergo blood testing, that's it. this is boxing: people do things for money or for legacy, not for principle. pacquiao is probably pedquiao, unfortunately...

 

Shane's only chance of victory is to wreck Floyd with a bodypunch. That's always a possibility...but a slim one (statistically) in boxing.

Shane cannot hurt Floyd to the head simply because of the way he throws his punches and the way Floyd defends (not to mention the strength of Floyd's underrated chin).

Shane cannot outbox Floyd. Shane cannot outwork Floyd. Shane cannot out-think Floyd.

Floyd will actually have a chance to stop Shane Mosley...by a retirement in Shane's corner late is the way I see it playing out..Shane will be absorbing too many counters from the 3rd round on and will be running out of gas in his attempts to KO Floyd.

Floyd TKO 11...remember...

 

Floyd isn't stopping Shane, but he will definitely outbox him.

 

I formed an opinion.

My opinion is based on the available facts and is that Manny is entitled to tell mayweather to fuck off. I didn't think that he was on drugs before the Mayweather's suggested otherwise and I still don't.

The difference between you and I is that I know that what I think is based on conjecture and could well turn out to be wrong. That is why I offer it as my opinion only. You, on the other hand, have formed an opinion and are so convinced that you, an apparently all seeing type of chap, are right that you have confidently asserted your opinion as FACT, which of course it most certainly is not.

Until you have some facts to base your opinion on, get off your high horse and let sleeping dogs lie. You keep popping into these threads with your holier than thou shit and then disappear for days on end when the meat of your conjecture is dissected by several members.

You are evidently a smart guy, and IMHO a welcome addition to this forums, but your stance in this matter has done you no favours IMHO.

MTF

 

Oh yeah, and Floyd wrecks Shane with comparative ease. Far too quick and far too good for Mosley at this point. In fact, IMHO Floyd makes it look very easy...

Seriously

MTF

 

Shane will never quit in his corner, and Floyd will never be able to hurt him. Floyd by UD though, 8-4.

 

Floyd isn't stopping Shane.

Floyd couldn't even stop a BLOATED Marquez. Floyd needed 10 rounds to KO Hatton at 147, not 140. Then you have to go bakc FIVE years for another KO of a BLOATED Mitchell, another 140lber.

Shane was deep under water with rip Veronon Forrest and he went the distance in that fight.

If anybody is stretching anybody, it is Mosley knocking out Mayweather.

 

The last FIRE FIGHT Mayweather was in was the first Castillo fight way back then. Mosley has been in SEVERAL of competitive fights. Mosley is just as fast and with better hand speed as far as throwing combinations go.

I think contrary to what many people think, Mosley will want to keep the fight in the CENTER of the ring instead of taking or being lured into the ropes. Then TIME anything Mayweather throws.

Mayweather FEEDS on his opponent's aggression. This could be one ass BORING fight if they both wait on one another.

 

Shane's old an inactive and that's why Floyd took the fight.

Mayweather wins in an a 8-4 UD

 

Your opinion is perfectly alligned with mine, only you've got a clearer more organised and articulate mind than I do. *Rolls over like a dog on his back in submission*.. There's also the little things, part of the insurmountable tangible evidence,.. for example,.. remember when Freddy and Bob made it public that they were dissapointed in Manny due to his initial refusal to accept the Hatton deal? ... Obviously they were pyning about the oppurtunity gone for a hefty pay packet for themselves,.. This time, over this absolutely monsterous fight, with copious amounts of cash to flow into the pockets of coach and promoter, they instantly, and unreservedly panick in defence of Pacquiao's ... fear of needles, superstition, weakenned by a test tube of blood for a month,..etc,..,..with the translation ofcourse being,.. that they are IN on Pacquiao's performance enhancing little secret, and they intend to continue getting away with it.

 

werent you one of the fags claiming mayweather jr wouldnt fight the guy? now youre picking him:boohoo:

 

it will be a boring fight. and who are you picking?

 

The more i think about it, the more i think it'll be a boring fight

 

I'm waiting until the week of the fight for a prediction.

I think the cancellation of the Berto fight will be beneficial for Shane. He'll have some time off of intense training. He probabbly is already in tremendous shape when he goes into camp sometime at the end of February. He'll concentrate mainly on GAMEPLAN execution.

 

whats the difference in picking now as opposed to the week of the fight. stop stalling, you've had a decade to think about this potential matchup.

 

Aaaallright!!

Specially at a level where the fighters are the highest world class, any slight advantage could be huge. Any mistake can be fatal. Reason why Floyd has been so cautious. I think in terms of following what needs to be done in order to be successful, Mayweather fights better than Shane. But I think Shane will be more focused in what he needs to do to beat Mayweather. I think he could even stop Floyd with the new trainer and concentration on gameplans.

I reserve my right to change my prediction the week of the fight if I see anything different.

Who are you picking?

 

mayweather jr will be too slick for mosley. mosley wont be able to put any punches together and everyone will claim he has gotten old over night. he may have slipped some due to the layoff but i dont see the result for this match being any different the past 4 years. mosley wont be able to pull the trigger and will be waiting a lot

 

Hopefully no one will use age as an excuse because Mosley looked spectacular against Margarito. His first fight with Richardson as his trainer.

I think Mosley knows at this stage in his career, he has to be supercareful with his training so he must see the urgency of getting rid of any rust he might have. But then again training is training, fight night is fight night. It will be one year and 4 months since he fought last.

 

Mosley IS old & like pretty much all fighters his age (years & ring-war wise),he most definately can't pull the trigger like he used to be able to.

He looked great against Margarito because he was exactly the style of fighter that fighters Mosley's ability & age look good against (Hops V Pavlik is another goos example).

Against fast, slick fighters like PBF old fighters look old.

I would pick the Mosley of the late 90's/ early 2000's to break PBF down, but this version of Mosley will lose a decision.
And yes, it will be a boring fight. Mainly because PBF (because he can afford to), will fight as safety-first as he possibly can.

Having said that, I am glad that this fight is taking place & it is a step up for PBF. I only hope that when he wins, it will give him enough confidence to seek out the biggest challenges available to him.

 

He will look really old.That fight with Margarito was an illusion.
