Impressive. That's gotta be hella frustrating.
If I was a boxer and got a shot at Floyd, I'd mimic him. Don't take unnecessary chances on offense and play good, sound defense.

like others have stated...this fight has been long awaited. i am very hype for this fight. but honestly its a no contest. floyds defense and his reflexes are unlike anything i have seen from boxers. The guy is a beast. the next match i would like to see is naturally him and pacquio or him and berto once he gets some more experience under his belt. im glad i got some suckers who rooting for shane.
cuz after the score card is revealed im collecting winnings. and honestly i will be very upset if anyone gets ko'ed and stop the fight i want to see this go 12.
at me for forgetting about P.whit

In a way I hope Floyd wins to add more juice to that match up.
By the way Sole. You got a TV in the kitchen?
I'm joking

I forgot you made this Haze, I was @*+!%+% around and made one last night
I really don't see Shane winning this fight and if PBF wins by a good margin and the PPV #'s go like how they're expected to, the fight with Manny will never come off (not that I think it had a chance to anyway).

this fight is all hype. but floyd is winning this and if you think mosley is winning you obviously dont watch boxing. although i will give mosley a very slight chance to win this fight. and i mean like 5-10%
only reason floyd is even fighting mosley is because everyone wanna complain about his competition. well you can add mosley to his list, then what? bring in pacman...then what? people will never stop hating on that man. everyone wants the underdog to win and never gives respect when respect is due.
btw floyd wins in UD

i think even if he beats pacman, people will still try to play him and say the competition nowadays isn't as good as the competition was in the past

the competition is very comparable, here's the problem, Floyd has ducked that very competition.
any criticism Floyd faces in the 147lb division is on him, he has earned that all by himself
Well people will always have that gripe about his opponents in the past and more so his non-opponents of the past. Rightfully so. The main knock is that he never fought a full fledged, top flight welterweight in his time as the welterweight champion. If he beats Mosley and then goes on to beat Manny in back to back fights at 147, I doubt people will be questioning him anymore. I'm interested to see how Nazim has worked with Mosley and incoming jabs. Margarito was tailor made for him so this is obviously the real test. I'm hyped for this, can't wait for tomorrow night.

You're kidding, Every single Welterweight in the top 10 is a worthy opponent.
dont fall for that BS Floyd sells when he does all this," Paul Williams beat Margarito, & Shane beat margarito who beat Cotto" thats $%%#*%%#
Floyd went out of his way not to fight those guys in the prime of their careers. and then when these very good - great fighters lose to each other he uses the, "well they've got loses their not underfeated" excuse as a reason not to fight them.
Ray Leonard, Duran, Hagler, hearns, Benitez all had losses and all fought each other and are considered Greatest of all times cus they FOUGHT.
and Im not a Floyd Hater nor a Floyd Fanatic. I appreciate his skills but every ounce of criticism he takes, he has earned.

the only people i'd want to see mayweather fight after mosley is pacman, berto, and cotto.
i understand what you guys are saying, but mayweather aint going to fight people who previously lost to the other competition because he cares about his 0 too much. so i can understand where he is coming from with it too. whoever mayweather fights and gives him his first loss will be remembered for that. while if mayweather beats them, they will just be added to the list of people who've tried to beat him. mayweather has more to lose than to gain. one loss will ruin the legacy he is trying to make. he cant fight everyone out there. i'd like to see him try but we all know it wont happen. hes getting older, not every boxer will generate big pay per view numbers, it is what it is

what you just typed has nothing to do with Ducking fighters in his weight class.
the make up of the weight division Mayweather fights at (147) for the last 5-7 yrs has included Margarito, Cotto, Mosley, Williams, Berto, Cintron, Pacman, and he's only just now facing one of those guys ... Do I really need to explain any further
