I think Shane has the power to hurt Floyd. I think he can be hurt if you catch him, he just can't be caught cleanly. sMosley has the speed, sophisticated offensive arsenal, and conditioning to make it interesting. He has the chin withstand the shots that he's going to take. Of course, he'd probably still lose. Think about it this way - Let's call the Oscar fight 8-3-1. To me, that's about as far as you can put the fight in Floyds favor. Is Shane an overall better fighter than Oscar? No question in my mind. Does Shane matchup better with Floyd than Oscar did? With his better speed, yes I think.

So, win or lose, I think Shane would be a tougher and more dangerous opponent for Floyd. I thought that before the fight and I think it now. Can Shane win two more rounds than Oscar did? One more round? If he does, the fight becomes very, very close.

I always thought Oscar needed a KO to win. With Shane, I think he might be able to outpoint him. Shanes combinations will be faster and more accurate than Oscar's were, and Floyd would need to engage more and pot shot less or risk having the judges give it Shane based on aggressiveness and combination punching. If Shane forces Floyd to through combos, throw more than 2 punches at time, he'll have some openings and he might be quick enough to take advantage. I could see Shane winning a contraversal SD.
