Sugar Shane Mosley was Gun Shy against Mayweather.

imo shane got too ahead of himself when he got floyd hurt. shane basically did what he accused of past fighters against may did. he tried to bully and everything went out the window.

Agreed. I loved it when Floyd was switching from textbook defense to Philly D on the fly. That was ill. But it was kinda obvious tho that when Floyd was on the textbook D, he was making sure not to get hit, but when switched to Philly, he was countering. Still genius tho!

It wasnt just about hurting him bad but Floyd's whole style had him mixed. 1st of all Floyd caught him off guard by standing toe to toe and coming forward all night. Then Floyd's hand speed was something he's never seen before even though he's fast himself. Then Floyd's defense & posture just has the look that if you slip up then you will get countered super quick. Most of all Floyd just has superior fundmentals & technique. Mentally they arent close. Also, Senior was right about Shane's jittery style. He does fight like that even in his prime. Not nerves but he throws like 3 or 4 pitty pat jabs and then explodes. A great fighter like Floyd can time that shit. As soon as Shane starts pawing, then Floyd sticks his ass just like Senior said he would so he doesnt even let him get started. He also was getting countered with hooks everytime he did let loose which made him cautious. Pretty much everyone's punch output drops when they fight Floyd and it happened again tonight. Can he do it to Pac also?

All fighters run into a problem when they're facing Floyd Mayweather...something just happens to go wrong...lol

I don't think Mayweather was hurting Mosley that bad. It's just that Mosley couldn't fire. For the whole fight I thought Mosley was never in real danger. Good thing Mayweather is not aggressive enough of a fighter or Mosley would've hit the canvas. Because Floyd was stalking him down, using his jab and beating him to the punch every single time. Every time Shane did lead, he would get countered, or hit air.

It's just that Mosley couldn't fire.Well, it's hard to fire back when the guy you're firing at is hitting you before you could do the same thing.

I don't know if Mosley was too scared to be countered or he just could'nt pull the trigger. But something was definitely off about Shane. He was too fidgity and too anxious. For god's sake he couldn't even throw a proper jab. Not that bullshit double flicking jab he was doing. His body shot jabs were more better. But to be honest, I think it was the combination of Mayweather's fast counter speed and his hesitancy to pull the trigger on his guns. Still a good showing from Mayweather. He had to do what he had to do. He also showed recuperative ability and his willingness to stay in the pocket to exchange. Good Job! Now let's get this Pacquaio-Mayweather fight going! :boxing: I believe it's called ring rust. Or getting old. Or Blood Fatigue. Or any other excuses that are easily thrown out there.
