Thread: Role Reversal

Just some food for thought: I've been adamant with my prediction of a wide Mayweather UD from the beginning. I believe Shane will end up following him and Floyd will potshot his way to a decision. I don't believe that the 2010 Mosley has the ability to throw combinations and outwork Mayweather.
But what IF

Mosley were to come out and try and stick out his jab and fight on the back foot and force Floyd to press the action. I think Mosley is more comfortable using his jab than Floyd is and Floyd doesn't like fighting off his front foot. Also take into consideration that, in my opinion most close rounds will go to Mosley because he's the underdog, its a tendency for people to want to see an undefeated fighter lose their "O" and Mayweather can be a despicable character at times. I'm not sure if Mosley would be very mobile on the back shot but Floyd might be so gun shy that Mosley would still win rounds. If Mosley did this and then Mayweather fell behind, Floyd would be forced too open up and Mosley could possibly catch him. Just my 2 cents trying to play the role of Nazim.

I'm not shying off my pick of the Mayweather decision either.

mosleys never been dominated by anyone

If floyd is beating him to the punch early on which we all expect nazim and shane will have a B,C,D backup plan to win this fight

No way is it a runaway floyd points win, shane will push this right to the end and if that means doing the sort of stuff he hasnt done all career he`ll do it

You must've missed Forrest/Mosley I. Mosley was dominated without a doubt. Even Wright/Mosley I was Winky all the way easily.

Agreed the first Forrest fight was so lopsided I felt it should have been stopped...I will say that Floyd does not posses the size advantages that both Forrest and Winky had. Floyd has no physical advantage whatsoever in this fight (meaning height, reach, weight or speed), which will make this fight all the more interesting to watch for me...
