Shane was letting his hands go until Floyd started to counter and land at will. Then Shane turtled up because when he would throw, he would get countered, but when he wouldn't throw, Floyd walked him down and lit him up. I wouldn't say Shane was shot at all, he was just completely outmatched. Everyone thought Shane looked good as ever going into that fight, as he had just wrecked Margarito.
I really like Walters, who is relatively young. Terence Crawford is a monster.
I think GGG is overrated, but still a very, very good fighter. The guys who actually try to hit him, and aren't just there for a paycheck, have shown that he stops in his tracks when he's hit and often moves back in a straight line. That's a huge, gaping hole in his game that will be exploited once someone legit gets in the ring with him....hopefully Ward in the second half of 2015.

Well for one, as it turns out, who hasn't lit up a non plasterito? And to say he was coming off demolishing plasterito is a little misleading. There's a 15 month break in there, which is huge for an older guy at the end of his career.
Lol, he was shot dude. Prime Mosley was never afraid to let his hands go, even when he was taking shots.*Hawks*Huskies*Mariners*Gators*

GGG is probably in my top 3 right now. I think what makes him special is his ring generalship and calmness as he stalks his prey. He isn't over reliant on his power but more reliant on his experience and ability to pressure and cut off the ring. He's not your traditional puncher, much more of a boxer-puncher. Defensively though, he hasn't truly been tested, Murray was game but he doesn't have enough power for GGG to actually respect him. The first guy to force him onto his back foot for any sustained period of time will be the first and thats when we will truly see how good he is.

LMAO no
No one with over 300 amateur bouts can rely solely on power. People where saying the same thing about Kovalev before he outboxed Hopkins.
Lara would get so fuked up by Golovkin. Ward would give him a tougher match. To be honest I think Ward doesn't deserve to be top 5 p4p, he barely fights and now he's calling out smaller fighters when he himself is a LHW fighting at SMW. He has to man up and go up in weight already

I havent watched a lot of his fights to be honest but from what i have watched, he's waiting to be out boxed, there are certain things he does that seems so amateurish, surprised at the amateur record really, he doesnt look the part to me, but thats just my opinion mayn, time will tell, it always does

Manny Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz told ESPN.com on Thursday that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has declined to agree to terms for a penalty that would cost either man $5 million in the event of a failed drug test before or after their May 2 megafight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"Today we were informed that Mayweather turned down the request," Koncz said. "Manny had requested that there would be a reciprocal fine of $5 million for a failed drug test."
Well that's interesting.
