Probably.. In my opinion Mosely is aggressive, durable and fast enough to give Floyd more than a litte trouble.. Personally I would love to see the fight, but then again I would love to see Floyd fight any of the top guys at 147...
absolutely, Mosely is the perfect opponent for Floyd right now. Both have the DLH victories in common and it could make a great fight. I wonder if Floyd is worried he couldn't draw enough for it to be a good PPV?:dunno:
Of course Floyd is scared. The motherfucker ran all the way into retirement. That way whenever anyone brings up Mosley he can continue to bring up that bullshit story about Shane running to 147 to get away from him. This also buys Floyd a little extra time for Shane to get a little older while he waits for Floyd to (maybe) come out of retirement.
are you fucking serious? I got it, your just joking, no problem......thought you were saying.... hold on....shit you are serious.:notallthere:
Ridiculous statement. Oscar doesn't fight like Shane, at least not everytime. But Shane would in noway do like Oscar and play it safe. Shane is the kind of guy who goes in to fights to fight. He'll either try to hurt you or at least outpoint you but either way he's going to be trying to land punches.
exactly and this is why Floyd wants nothing to do with even an interview question about Mosely.:nono:
I'm serious. Stylewize, the only fighter at Welterweight (plus Oscar) that had the ability to stop Floyd was..Oscar. I've always maintained that. Now that Floyd passed that particular test..no one is stopping him. Stylewize Shane is a speedy slick slugger...after 2 rounds Floyd will outbox him with ease.
what you mean to say is Floyd would pop a shot and move. But not in this one. Mosely has way more ring smarts than Oscar. Mosely cuts the ring off way better and his footwork is always on point. Mosely would run him down and own Floyd.
HBO reported that Shane turned down that fight on several occasions. I beleive he turned down 4 million one time and instead took a fight for far, far less. Well, coming from a guy that turned down 12 million to fight Oscar a third time, and gets his ass kicked for a tenth of that against Winky, what can you expect? Shane seems like a nice kid, but isn't exactly a genius upstairs.
Nobody cares how serious you are. It's your opinion and has no basis in fact. Oscar was never the KOing machine like Mosley or Trinidad was. What are you basing that shit theory on?
Not at all. At the same time I don't think Oscar hits any harder than Shane. I'm saying Shane is a much more aggressive fighter than Oscar and is much more willing to engage and take chances. Oscar sat in that Floyd fight thinking too much. Shane would have just let his hands go.
no but he puts his punches together much better. His skills are better. His speed is better. Shane beat oscar twice, what on earth makes you think Oscar is the harder opponent?
Who are you, Nostradamus? I'm calling BULLSHIT on that one pal. It's easy to say that when you haven't seen them fight. Oscar let his hands go against Mayorga AND against Vargas..but didn't against Floyd. Corrales let his hands go against Castillo and Casamayor but didn't against Floyd. Gatti let his hands go against Ward, Millet, even Oscar...but DIDN'T against Floyd!!! There is a REASON for that and the reason is Floyd. Shane will do the same thing. Floyd's style make's his opponents unwilling to throw as many punches as they are used to.
I thought Oscar clearly won the rematch (as did the majority of observers) and I thought he threw the first fight away but slugging mindlessly and one-dimensionally. But that's all moot: Oscar being 5'11, with a better harder jab and more power..was/is better suited to stopping Floyd than Shane is.
That's a good point and I can't argue against it. However I will say that I think Mosley would be more willing to throw dispite what Floyd does than Oscar would because Mosley throughout his career has shown much more aggression and willingness to put himself in harms way. Would Shane punch less than normal for him? Maybe. Would Shane punch more than Oscar and make a more exciting fight? More than likely.
Floyds style is to throw one or two punches an move away with speed and quickness. That speed would be neutralized with Shane.
The majority of observers ring side all picked Mosley and there is one main reason Oscar lost that fight. It's because he faded and lost the last 4 rds on everyones card. Now they had all the other rds different but if everyone is unanimous on at least 4 in a close fight you can bet your chances of winning just flew out the window. So that point right there will forever kill the Oscar was robbed theory.
:doh: Fast hands aren't everything. I can't believe you guys still think that Shane will be able to box with Floyd JUSt because he has fast hands and a cute style.
Yeah, when I think of how successful a mental midget pussified guy like Judah was against Floyd, I really like Shanes chances.
Judah is less predictable than Shane and is a Southpaw. I'm really hoping this fight can be made now so that I can return and LAUGH at the Shane overrators!!
Whoa, hold on there. I never said I pick Shane to beat Floyd. I'd have to think long and hard about that one, and would probably favor Floyd over this version of Shane. I was mainly arguing against your points that Oscar had a better chance of beating Floyd than Mosley did.
Shane has had a chance to fight Floyd since they were lightweights and he's always had an excuse. The latest his tooth hurting.::
Not REED:nono: ... REED WANTS to See that Fight THIS YEAR...REED Wouldn't Blame Floyd for Taking a RE w/DeLa,but there's No SUSPENSE N that Matchup... Floyd vs Shane is MOUTH WATERING... REED
UNLIKE DeLa... Shane has the Ability to Hit Floyd w/MORE than 1 Shot @ a Time...He Also has the Ability to Catch Floyd w/a Shot he DOESN'T See Coming... REED
Ding ding ding... Hand speed is the key.. Mosley has the reflexes and hand speed to land combinations on Floyd... Oscar could only land single shots or worthless combinations when he crowded Floyd on the ropes.. Mosley has the hand speed to double up on shots anytime Floyd gets close enough to engage..
Bullshit! Earlier in his career Floyd never once said Shane's name. He was still fighting prospects when Shane moved up to face Oscar which nobody would blame him for. By the way this is the same bullshit Judah likes to spout off every now and then. Both would have gotten plastered back then, especially Judah. Mosley would have made Judah shit himself. As for lately, well I must admit the rumors seem to be true that Shane did elect not to fight Floyd when offered the opputunity, and from what I read in Ring magazine, it had nothing to do with Oscar wanting to fight Floyd.
