    I think it was the 9th at 10th rounds with Hatton he through a beautiful sequence of Jabs that were picture perfect.. So when he has to he can still throw it..

    I think he is so fast he can lead with power punches (Left Hook/Straight Right) instead of setting it up with the jab, even though he has a excellent one

    Yeah, it was the ninth round, and those were the type of P4P Jabs I was talking about earlier. Floyd has a great jab, better than Mosley's, when he uses it. Mosley basically has little head movement and is flat footed for the most part now. JonesJr can talk about all this stuff, he can talk about Mosley "breaking Floyd's ribs", which is absolutely idiotic; but I'm looking at the style of fighter Shane is when I compare the two. I see Shane being competitive but not being able to land as much as Jones Jr thinks he will. Floyd simply won't get hit a lot. It's not because of the competition he faced so far in his career, it's because of his style, talent and defense. There's a reason why great offensive fighters get in there with Floyd and aren't able to land ANYTHING significant and only land around 20% of their punches. It's because he confuses them with footwork/head movement and upper body speed, he dodges and blocks A LOT of punches, and he's probably the best counterpuncher in boxing. All those talents are HEAVILY underestimated. They aren't talents that are simple to see and understand like, for example, having blazing fast hands or KO power or something like that. Floyd has talents that make landing a clean shot on Floyd confusing and frustrating. And while his opponents are frustrated figuring out a way to find Floyd, he's counterpunching, resting, and focusing on his offense. JonesJr, it's easy to look at Shane who just knocked out Margarito and say he's a bad man. Shane IS a bad man. But Shane will have to get in there and find Floyd for 12 Rounds and he's got no head movement, he's flat footed for the most part, and has a lack of upper body movement at this point in his career. Plus, he gets square a lot of times now. He should have problems most of the night launching an offensive attack. You're thinking that Shane has fast hands and is a bigger/stronger man than Floyd and has a great chin so he should walk through Floyd. But if the fight ever happens, you'll see what I'm talking about.
