There's no one as close to Floyd speed wise as Shane but there is still a noticeable disparity. It's good training for Oscar but it's not like the real thing.
Totally agree.

The Iron Bwoy?

Seen him loads on undercards live & televised.

While I do like him...he aint a good mark for Floyd. The kid's fast...& skilled & fun to watch & he'll dominate at his weight & maybe on step up...but I aint sure past that.

CC back man. Yeah but with Calderon,Oscar will have to learn how to cut off the ring and quickly,and because Calderon is so small,it'll make it hard for Oscar! Also,like you mentioned,the angles aspect is important too. Floyd Mayweather is an ass,he's unintelligent and stupid outside of the ring but when he it comes to the sweet science,he's a genuis pure and simple.


His defence is calculated to take advantage of any mistakes as indeed is his offence. Remember Ndou's lazy jab which he countered over and over! That's skill,that's analysis,that's genius. Molsey relies more on his speed,technically,he is very flawed. That may or may not be an issue, May be Oscar' size can overcome Floyd's technical superiority?
