So many so called PBF supporters have short memories

[ICB]

Why shane would beat floyd...Ive been saying it for six years now.

If Floyd stands in front of Mosely and uses the Philly shell to roll as a defense SHANE WILL BREAK HIS FUCKING RIBS or severely damage Floyd's left arm. And IF chop caught and wobbled PBF, the last thing he wants to do is stand and allow Shane to throw. It seems as though people are blind, and have short memories.

Floyd would more than likely wear the pillow gloves to protect his hands which means Shane will walk through is pot shots. And in order to pot shot someone you have to be noticeably quicker/faster. PBF isn't when it comes to Shane. Shane's arms are longer and now that he has his jab back, their jabs will be equal. And Shane is WAAAAAAY stronger and has more power than Floyd at any point of his career. And lastly, where do blind pbf fans get off thinking that Shane is some brawler with out accuracy? Watch his fights and see how accurate the throws head and body shots. Watch the first round of the fight with tony and see the body shot that probably was responsible for people thinking tony was "off". Shane nearly split him in half with the right hand in the first minute of the fight and tony's knees buckled. Floyd is accurate too but not when he throws with power he's reckless. Floyd has to sit and calculate his shots. Shane would have won six years ago, and will still beat Floyd now.

Go to vegas, sneak into the gym and listen to Uncle Roger and Ellerbe tell lil floyd, "Shane is too strong, too quick, and too tough, he aint worth the risk of having a 1 in the "L" column."

What fighter that has fought PBF would you A.) consider accurate and B.) come close to being able to load up on a punch powerful enough to break his ribs?

I think you're exaggerating QUITE a bit. Floyd is accurate as HELL with ALL of his punches.

Shane has a hell of a chin, there is no question about that, but just like many of PBF's opponents, they don't realize how effective he is even though he is not a huge power puncher. If you're connecting flush on a lead right hand with all of your weight behind it, you will feel it. You say Floyd "sits and calculates his shots", as if while he's "sitting" he's hittable. No, Floyd is a PATIENT fighter who throws when he knows he has the highest chance to land a punch. You're implying that he sits lazily or something..

Floyd has fought harder punchers, and they haven't broke his defense nor landed flush often during a fight.. TOUGH, i will give you.. But too strong and too quick?! That just makes you sound like you haven't seen PBF fight.

The older members of the forum will vouch for me on this: I'm one of PBF biggest supporters and vehemently defended him on this forum long before Tony even fought and lost to williams let along shane.

And ive seen all of his fights, it seems those that are blindly watching floyds fights seem to only see his highlights. They don't see, him being wobbled by chop, losing 3 of the first four rounds and being dropped by judah, going the distance with baldomir, beating a ruined mitchell, one dimensional hatton. Floyd hasn't fought an A+ fighter since leaving 135. he doesn't have power at 140 and up. And if he stands in the pocket trying to pick shane off, shane will hit him right in the center repeatedly. Shane would hit him in his arms. shane would be the most powerful fighter floyd has ever faced. Funny how people use the fights that shane lost (vernon and winky) as if they had the blueprint or something. They were bigger longer fighters. vernon and shane clashed heads which caused a concussion.

If castillo, baldomir, chop, mitchell, judah, augustus, de lahoya, even gatti bust floyd's lip. If they can all hit floyd its a foregone conclusion shane will land and land alot. but hopefully hatton will beat pac, to save us the bullshit justification of picking a fight with pacman over shane. if hatton wins floyd has no choice but to fight shane. but he'd still take the pussy way out and fight hatton again.

I really don't see your point about Floyd Mayweather being wobbled, thats the only time he has ever been wobbled and i have seen all of his fights, including quite a few of his Amateur fights.

The only other time he got shook was in a very early fight of his, where he got hit by a huge left hook but he soon recovered. DeMarcus Corley is a pretty decent puncher, i've seen him wobble fighters with one punch.

And he hit Floyd Mayweather with a very unorthodox shot/hard shot, it caught him off balance and Floyd Mayweather never see it coming, but Floyd Mayweather was still calm and he recovered in a matter of 20 seconds. And then he wobbled DeMarcus Corley later in the round.

Your seriously overrating Shane Mosley he is a great fighter and one of my favorites, but he has some serious flaws himself. He has at times got very disheartened/frustrated in fights especially in the Winky Wright fights.

I've never really see Shane Mosley be able to adapt in a fight either, in both the Winky Wright fights he was not able to solve the Winky Wright puzzle. And constantly got caught with the jab one of Shane Mosley's weaknesses.

Also in the Vernon Forrest fights even though he did do better in the very sloppy rematch. Again he couldn't deal with Vernon Forrest's clinching and was again outboxed and lost a decision.

What makes Floyd Mayweather special is that he is able to adapt, in any type of fight especially in his fights against Jose Luis Castillo 1 and 2, Zab Judah, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya ETC.

You bring up that he lost 3 rounds against Zab Judah but again, is that the best possible argument you can come up with ? all i think is that fight showed Floyd Mayweather's greatness once again.

That he was able to overcome those first 3 bad rounds, and comeback solve the puzzle and give Zab Judah a beating. And he would of stopped him had it not been for the steet thug move from Zab Judah.

Again im reading your comments and your other argument makes no sense to me either. So he went 12 rounds with Carlos Baldomir and won 12 rounds to 0, i don't see how that prove's anything.

Carlos Baldomir is a very strong guy with a very good chin, he fought Vernon Forrest at Jr Middleweight and ate his shots up like they were nothing.

You also don't have a clue what your on about regarding Ricky Hatton, he isn't one dimensional and if you see his fight with Ben Tackie. When he had to box on the back foot and use his boxing skills, you would know he is far from one dimensional.

I also love how people dismiss Ricky Hatton considering he was one of the top 10 P4P fighters. It just seems to me no matter what Floyd Mayweather does he gets no credit.

Lastly i don't remember Sharmba Mitchell giving Floyd Mayweather any trouble ? i thought he mostly toyed with Sharmba Mitchell. He quite easily beat ODLH so i don't see your argument there at all.

He had a bad shoulder injury against Jose Luis Castillo in there 1st meeting, and in the rematch he quite comfortably beat him. Are you frigging kidding me or something ? when the hell did Carlos Baldomir, Arturo Gatti, hit Floyd Mayweather ?

Let alone alot are you out of your mind ? he dominated those fights with ease. Emanuel Augustus landed one punch that broke Floyd Mayweather's nose, it was a fluke and despite that one moment. He got whooped from pillar to post.

DeMarcus Corley had one decent round against Floyd Mayweather, but he lost the other 11 rounds and was dropped multiple times so again. I don't see that you have any good arguments here at all.

Shane Mosley had awkward/tough fights against Wilfredo Rivera, Phillip Holiday, in his prime. And lets not forget his gift against Oscar De La Hoya in the rematch, again what does this prove ? just like what does your comments prove ?

The only difference is that those fights you mentioned which were 7 fights, were supposedly Floyd Mayweather was hit alot or ETC. He only lost 13 rounds if that combined with all of those 7 fights, where as Shane Mosley lost more than that in those 3 fights i mentioned above.

But again it proves nothing styles make fights, both are great fighters. But i feel Floyd Mayweather is too much of a good all rounder, and is a better all round fighter than Shane Mosley. Shane Mosley's Power/Speed/Jab will make it very competitive. But i see Floyd Mayweather coming out on top with a competitive decision.
