If he can be busy enough with his longer reach and his jab, I could imagine him pulling the upset, if he respects all the conditions of course. Anyway, if we're as good as our last fight, Shane looked tremendous against Margarito and no excuses should be made would he lose to Floyd.
Shanes jab isnt as stiff as Oscars. Mosley throws it as a range finder to set up his right hand or power left hook.

A good jab is important in every fight but you would have thought it would be a key weapon that Nazim has employed in his strategy. Zab had a quick jab that Floyd couldnt see coming. He had to abandon his usual defence and use an Arthur Abraham style high guard for the rest of the fight to avoid getting hit. We wil know Floyds out of his comfort zone tonight if he changes his guard
