You can not use Manny/Shane as proof of how Manny/PBF will go

Mosley showed absolutely no boxing IQ. Cotto, who is more chinny had more success boxing Manny.

You're exaggerating a bit mate.

We've been doing this for years, not going to stop now. haha Judging by last nights fight Manny knocks Floyd down a few times, but gets outboxed a little bit making the fight closer, but wins a close decision. Fact!

You can not use Manny/Shane as proof of how Manny/PBF will go

Who would?

Shane has no jab. Floyd has the best in the business. Shane lost his right hand by moving to his right. Floyd wont do that and has the best short right counter in boxing. A perfect southpaw counter. Shane stands straight up. Floyd fights like a Burley or Langford with that Philly shell. Shane cant fight on the back foot. Floyd if he needs to, is the best fighter on the planet off the back foot.

Floyd does everything great that Manny has issues with.

Idiots will try and say that because Floyd couldn't knock Shane down... but manny could that this automatically means that manny is better.

That is a lot like saying that because Mosley stopped Margarito and knocked him down several times... whilst Margarito lasted the distance with Manny... that Shane is better than manny... obviously last night showed that this is not the case.

What I think it shows is that Manny is better fighting guys who are there, when they're on their bike he is not at his best. I think Floyd would capitalize on this and soften Manny up with some potshots... it'd be the typical Floyd... spending 3-4 rounds figuring a guy out and then pretty much shutting them out from there, Manny's phenomenal athleticism gives him a decent shout but I think Floyd handles him... too big a boxing brain.

I agree Daxx, the fights with Shane only adds to both Pac and Floyds ring reputation. It does not prove what could happen in a Pac vs Floyd fight. Mosley isn't even the only fighter both Pac and Floyd have fought. Oscar, Hatton and JMM are the other three.

Like I said the Shane fight only adds on to Pacs and Floyds ring reputation but we already know Pac and Floyd individually. Pac has speed and power Floyd has great defense and counters.

As for the comment about the fight not living up to the hype. I think the number 1 reason everyone wants to see the fight isn't the fight itself, it is the result that we all want to see. It could be boring but having a result at the end satisfies us.

totally agree.

[mnmc10]

i agree and i also said the same thing on another thread.

[Ant Live]

All threads with Mosley name in it should be LOCKED!!! Better yet, CLOSE!!!

Floyd has yet to be in a fight where he was fighting desperately to survive so the comparisons are not too accurate because no one really knows what he'll do and Manny may or may not be that opponent. He is however one thing for sure that Floyd is not and that is active. I'm taking nothing away from Floyd but ever since the Castillo fight and the fact that he had a hard time, one fight is not a gauge.

[Mars_ax]

Manny vs Shane is proof of nothing, as for Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, if it ever actually happens, I favor Pacquiao for one simple reason: these 2 are evenly matched, however, as good as Mayweather is, there's no substitute for being in the ring regularly, his inactivity will be his downfall.

You can never use fighter a and b to determine what would happen against fighter c. That is just silly. Dougless beat tyson who beat everyone before hand, so did that make dougless a killer or determine what he could do against anyone else cause he ko'ed the best ? No. And pac or floyd beating whoever has nothing to do with how'd they'd fare against each other. Ask salido how much common opponets helped juan ma.
