    And don't pick DLH (at least against an elite fighter).

    Both were acceptable for this fight.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    It's all about styles, and Shane will typically have to chase and chase and chase Fraud down, then rip hellacious body shots into him, and use his tremendous strength to smother Fraud against the ropes and brawl sporadically, ofcourse Mosely also has good handspeed inwhich to clip him often, and mix it up explosively in close, preferrably he'll wanna beat that body hard, real hard like we know he can, have Fraud seizing up the way he was with Castillo. Mosely will render him useless if he can habitually puncture Fraud's pod and beat the wings off him. Most of this board agreed Mosely had the attributes and style to be the more dangerous fight, De La Hoya and Mosely aren't like Ken and Ryu either, Mosely's trumped much better versions TWICE :nono: ...

    And when Fraud falls down barely conscious and suffercating, don't you cheap Jones <--to--> Fraud fans even dare to jump ship again!!!,..:nono: you had your chance.

    Manfreddy had beaten Arturo Gatti. Corrales was ranked #6 in the world, pound-for-pound, by Ring magazine for his wins over Roberto Garcia, John Brown, Derrick Gainer and Angel Manfreddy.

    Manfredy was in the running for 1998's FOTY. Whoever won that fight, got the award. You'd have to have been a real boxing fan to know this.

    Again, just stick to saying "Amare" and move on.

    Lance Mayweather will outpoint Shane and run enough miles to get through the Swiss Alps. Dana White will cut him a check and get him a black belt because Floyd has some serious grappling skills.

    You're getting lazy. How hard would it have been to come up with the name of a famous runner?

    I didn't want a runner. I wanted a bike rider. Floyd gets on his bike and humps like he did last night. He is henceforth Lance Mayweather and Oscar is Oscar de la Zombie or the synonym of that like Oscar de la Louis.

    But "getting on your bike" is a term for boxing on your toes and not planting your feet. Floyd doesn't do that. You don't understand this basic facet of boxing.

    wait, I thought Floyd is retiring? Isn't he a straight forward, meat and potatoes type of cat? He wouldn't have been lying for publicity would he?:dunno:

    Very simply, I was one of the ones going in that thought Mosley would be a much tougher stylistic match for Floyd than Hoya would be. After seeing how much trouble Hoya gave Floyd (which frankly surprised me), I would favor a tougher stylistic match than that to BEAT Floyd.

    When he was winning 5 out of 12 rounds from him and forcing him to be ultra-tentative for the whole fight.

    The people who think Oscar DIDN'T trouble Floyd are as blind as the morons who scored the fight for Oscar.

    No doubt, it was by far Floyd's toughest fight since JLC. I would say his toughest to date. He fought to a safe win. Did as little as possible without having to commit to any trading or mixing it up. He gained a W, but not many fans.

    Yeah I learned that hard at the sports book this weekend. This fight should be made. Shane is the only guy in the world that can make Flyod fight and not just coast to UD or SD. Now the question is will PBF even get in the same ring as Shane, because even he knows it's a bad fight for him.:dunno:

    Floyd won't fight Shane.

    I doubt the fight could be made because A). Floyd will think he should get another $10 million. B). If there's $10 million (total) on the table, Floyd will want at least $8 of it.

    The "onliest" way I can see Floyd fighting Shane is if a return match withe Oscar is guaranteed AFTER the fight.

    Lastly, Floyd got a 70-30 split this time out. Next time, he'll want the terms reversed or at least receive parity. I can't see either of those playing out. I'm guessing Oscar will offer 60-40 at best.

    At the moment there is no reason to fight Shane...the risk outweighs the reward. Shane needs to beat the winner of Zab-Cotto or Margarito before he deserves to face boxing's best.
