Shane's Loss Excuse: Floyd Hurt My Neck From Pushing Down On It

If Shane didn't clinch so damn much he wouldn't have made the final bell. I agree man.

Floyd gave him the second worse beating of his life. I still feel that Vernon Forrest still owned him a bit worse. And that was prime Mosley. Floyd still beat a good Mosley just not a prime one. A masterful performence still.

It's always funny to me how all these guys claim to be so much stronger than Floyd....and then they complain about getting hurt inside. This is true. Mayweather's strength is VERY underrated. Guys don't usually respect it, until AFTER the fight.

It doesn't matter... mosley wasn't gonna win tonight by boxing or mauling... he needed to brawl w/ floyd.

Considering shane was live as hell in the winky fight and still couldn't do shit, TWICE, i'd say that was pretty bad. Was also in his absolute prime too. It's definitely a bigger blow IMO. Dummy are you HIGH? THe 2nd fight most thought Shane arguably beat Winky it was an MD! A judge had the fight a draw. Are you retarded? Mayweather annihilated him 11 rounds to 1 for god's sake. If you don't know the diff between an MD and a 119-109 then you truly are retarded.

i know from experience that the neck pull, is a genius move, it will take away your opponents coordination, and soften him up for a ko andre dirrell does the right thing by just going down instead of trying to keep himself upright and getting his spine stretched

Shane never got owned that badly before in his entire career yet he won't even admit Floyd is the best boxer he's fought? Come on now that's pure hatred...who owned you harder Shane, Winky?? :lol1: Considering shane was live as hell in the winky fight and still couldn't do shit, TWICE, i'd say that was pretty bad.

At the end of the second round you can see Floyd push down on his neck and Shane complaining about it after the bell. That was an excellent round for Mosley so it didn't make sense for him to complain about it unless Floyd actually hurt him doing that. I don't think it's an excuse however. Mosley has no excuse, he wasn't fit enough, his endurance had gone, too old. A young Mosley would've finished him off.

There will always be excuses. But my opinion is that Shane was fighting two persons in that ring las night Floyd and himself, and that was his downfall, he got to anxious and frustrated and got hit with great shots.

WTF? Come on Mosley. That's some sad ass sh##. Go to yahoo sports and watch the post fight interview with Shane. They ask him what happened, why did you look tired and stop throwing punches? Mosley's response: "My neck was real tight and after that I couldn't throw that much punches. My neck was tight from it getting pushed down so much." To his credit he did add "also from being punched alot" or something to that effect but he's basically saying from Floyd pushing his head down so much his neck got real 'tight' and after that he couldn't throw as many punches and couldn't get off. He then takes a further jab at Floyd when the interviewer asks "Is Floyd the greatest you ever fought" and Shane responds something like that Floyd is a great technician but "I don't know if he's the greatest boxer I've fought" yeah ok. Shane who have you fought that's a greater boxer than Floyd? Oscar?? :lol1: Shane's head is a bit big and difficult to miss and so is Manny's head.Expect the same treatment from Mayweather if Manny fights him.

i though shane was going down late in the fight and it had nothing to do with holding the neck down just took too many solid shots

SHANE, WERENT YOU THE STRONG MAN? btw, Shane always fights stiff and jittery, he only relaxes when he sees hes winning easily. Jack Mosley always told him relax, just relax, dont be so tight, he always fights like that especially when hes losing yup he fought like that when Mayorga was owning him too and he was un-confident and jittery until he KTFO him luckily in 12th round. But good point, weren't you supposed to be the strong one Shane what happened how is it that Floyd was physically dominating you enough to sprain your neck? What a joke.

I mean yes Floyd did hold his head down a few times in the fight I'm not denying that. But if that affects you so badly that your neck gets sprained stiff then maybe you're too ****ing old to be fighting.

Shane is the master clincher... I don't even want to hear that excuse.
