If anyone can beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. its Sugar Shane Mosley
In response to a recent article posted claiming that Manny Pacquiao is in fact the main man with a chance of taking that precious “O” off of the Pretty Boy, I would like to say I disagree, I believe now and always have believed that Shane Mosley poses the biggest threat to Mayweather's perfect record.
Stylistically, Mosley matches up much worse for Floyd than Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao is blessed with good hand speed, knock out power and incredible stamina. On the downside you don’t have to watch many of the Pacman's fights in order to see just how much damage he seems to absorb even when he wins, so it is safe to say he is not the most difficult man to catch.
Manny Pacquiao has a questionable defence which was exposed in his fights with Morales and Marquez, Pacquiao deals particularly well with come- forward fighters with equally aggressive styles, i.e. Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton. He, however, struggles most with counter punchers with a good straight right hand, and intelligent fighters.
My point is that Floyd is the best technical fighter and pure boxer on the planet, if anybody can expose kinks in Pacquiao’s defence and give him a boxing lesson, it is certainly Floyd.
Sugar Shane Mosley on the other hand is different. I believe this is a much harder fight for Floyd. Shane is bigger, stronger and most importantly, technically he is much better than Pacquiao.
I personally cannot wait to see Floyd take on Shane. Roll on May 1st.
