    beautiful. Shane never ducked nobody. and when he was beating guys at 147, and someone asked him about Hopkins, you know damn well he would've taken him on if he hadn't lost to Forrest.

    and Shane is a fighter who is constantly learning from his mistakes. his win over Collazo I think gets over-looked - he easily beat a pretty damn good fighter in Collazo. he won every round against Estrada.

    he'd most likely knock out Cintron, although he'd habe to be careeful of those long shots.

    and I agree with ODH - he has the style to beat PBF

    right on the money.

    Mosely is the natural "next" fight for PBF. They have the DLH victories in common and both are fairly recent. Here is what just boggles the mind, Floyd won't even entertain the thought of it. I wonder why?:dunno:

    Mosley's meaner than ODH is at this point. And less robotic.

    There's one of two things going on here:

    1. PBF doesn't wanna talk about Mosley for fear it would hurt his chances of getting a more lucrative rematch with ODH.

    2. PBF isn't confident that he can beat Mosley, and knows that if he loses to him, he's probably out of loop for good.

    Once again folks, Shane already has turned down millions to face Floyd.
    I think that he thinks he has very little shot at the guy.
    Floyd tatoos Shane, bottom line.

    Do you really believe that Shane made that decision and it had nothing to do with the fact that Oscar was planning on fighting Floyd?

    now with Oscar out of the way Shane is the logical choice.

    Well, he turned down 12 million to fight Oscar a third time as well.
    I just don't think the guy is all there upstairs.

    yeah just like he did ODH, right? to listen to you before they fought, you would've thought PBF/ODH was a mismatch.

    NEWSFLASH!!! PBF ain't 25% as good as you think he is. not sure when or how you'll figure this out. i would've thought that a razor thin win over ODH in a fight you predicted him to dominate easily could've opened your eyes, but apparently it hasn't.

    exactly. and the fact that ODH himself introduced the possibility is proof that that's the plan, at least on GBP's end.

    Floyd did dominate Oscar easily, and rarely was hit flush.
    He won 9 rounds to 3.
    I'd say that is pretty dominating.

    oh. i see. so that's you remain delusional. you apparently don't believe your own eyes.

    9-3. :laughing: that's ridiculous.

    rarely hit flush? ODH hit PBF flush more than PBF ever hit him. but nevermind. i already see that you've not allowed reality to get in the way of your take on the fight. carry on with your fantasy. PBF is great and fast and good and speedy and he's the best and can't ever lose and he schools everyone and noone can beat him and he's super-natural. :eek:ld:

    "Double L" you really didn't see the fight as Oscar missed or had over 80 percent of his punches blocked
    Floyd won the fights hands down, bottom line, end of story.
    Oscar looked like a sparring partner in there if truth be told.
    And...you are on ignore.

    the numbers were bull-shit. they had PBF landing 50% of his punches which is impossible. but he never landed anything like the hard shots ODH did.

    anyone talkin like PBF dominated ODH is full of shit and doesn't know what they're talking about. that's my opinion.

    i'll give you an example. one minute into the the 4th round, ODH is dominating the action, and Lampley finds it: "and PBF is still landing the cleaner shots."

    just one example of how wrong a lot of people perceived this fight as playing out.

    If DLH landed the harder shots and PBF was or is the smaller dude then how come he never staggered PBF or hurt him ala Corley style. However what we do know is that PBF staggeredd DLH on 2 occaisions. I'll Holla 5000

    I agree but this board is filled with Floyd nuthuggers, and until the day comes when he gets flattened RJ style they wont listen.

    I know. People have the misconception on how gangstas act. I mean people need to realize that a gangster is someone that is apart of an organization bloods, crips, vicelords, bgd's or some group like that and they fight over territory and sell drugs. They also wear some form of clothing like blue or red that a group of individuals can identify themselves with. Don't know about you guys but PBF does not fit this description. I'll Holla 5000

    PBF staggered ODH? and landed the harder shots? :laughing:

    ODH was a sparring partner in there?

    i can't even believe this. i'm not even sure how to respond.

    in the case of Corley, PBF actually fought. against ODH, he never traded. that explains that.

    ODH blocked well over 50% of PBF's punches - so the numbers are clearly B.S.

    and ODH forced the fight.

    and what i don't understand is how people over-look so completely just how neutralized PBF's offense was in the fight. he might have landed his pecks here and there, but basically, he couldn't lay any hurt on ODH whatsoever.

    PBF's performance is indefensible. he might have gotten the decision, but it was strictly due to his hand-speed. guys with hand-speed always get the close decisions. and compubox always fucks up when a fighter has hand-speed.

    PBF talked shit and then fought like a puss and was lucky to win. bottom line.

    he may not be a gang-member, but he likes to give the impression he's a thug.

    You might be right brother Karl,

    as big a Shane fan as I am, I have always thougth the same.. Floyd is just a much better "BOXER"

    But... Shane "could" pose threats..

    he has a Great chin, he has handspeed, great body punching and is strong!

    I'd like to see it.. I think you most likely are right..

    but I do think Shane would be a better fight than the DLH one.. IMO DLH has NO shot and Floyd.. Shane has a slim one

    Actually,Floyd Said,"Oscar Says I Stole his Shit...Ok,I Stole your Shit,Now DO Something about it"...

    But Floyd Made it CLEAR that @ the END of 1 of their Press Conferences,there was a Bag just Sitting there,so 1 of Floyd's Peeps Picked it up...Oscar & his Peeps had ALREADY LEFT the Premises...

    @ NO Point did Floyd OR his Peeps INTENTIONALLY Steal DeLa's Belongings:nono: ...

    WHY would Floyd Need to???...He's Got MORE than Enough of his OWN Boxing Gear...

    It's NO MORE "Tainted" w/Thugs & Crime than Rock & Roll Music Is...

    How Many Times Do U REED about Hip Hop Acts DESTROYING Hotel Rooms just for the SPORT of it???...

    How Many HARD DRUG(ie.,NON Marijuana Related)Cases do Hip Hoppers Accumulate...

    The FACT is,when a BLACK Guy Talks Tough or Whatever,he's Labeled a "Thug"...

    & that's BULLSHIT...

    Floyd Mayweather is a Black Guy that Talks Shit...To Call him a Gangsta or a Thug COULDN'T B Fuuuuuuuuurther from the TRUTH...

    & SHAME on the FUCKS that Call him That...
