and i realized that floyd sr. wouldn't have allowed that fight to be that close. floyd won 9-3 or 8-4 depending who you ask but i have no doubt in my mind that floyd would've fought like he did in round 12 for at least 8-10 rounds if floyd sr. was the trainer......i think there would've been a stoppage tbh.

I believe that Mayweather fell in love with his ability to "Walk people down" and "Stand toe to toe" like he did with Mosley and then Ortiz that he kind of mis judged his own strength.
After the Mosley fight a lot of people were talking about how Mayweather was the much stronger of the two etc
To me, Mayweather really isn't that strong. He's underrated in that area but he's not a strong fighter that's going to bully other fighters.
He tried to same programme with Cotto and got a rude awakening when Cotto was clearly the much stronger of the two.

Floyd is always safety first. Don't kid yourself to think he did it "for the fans"

I think that when he saw that it didnt bring him more respect (people were basically saying that he lost his legs) he just reverted to his defensive style with his father, which might be boring to some but way more effective against bigger guys.
