How Great is Floyd if his best win came against a 39 year old?

5 years isnt a major difference. Mosley wasnt shot, He is still elite Are you kidding me? 5 years isn't a major difference? That's insane. Think of PBFs reactions at 28 vs. 33, there is a noticeable difference just there. Now think of the accelerated difference between 33 and 38. While I agree that Mosley isn't completely shot and can beat a lot of top welter weights he is no longer elite. He hasn't been for 7-8 years. That said, that also says a lot about Mosley that he is not longer elite but can still beat a lot of the top welter weights. Fact is 38 isn't 33, there is a huge difference in decline in your physical gifts and in boxing you don't win championships with bad physical gifts. It is a good win but it is by no means a great win. I respect PBF for how he won the fight.

so is shane floyd's best win? so, is shane the best win of floyd's career? what do yo say flomos?

so is shane floyd's best win?

& coming off a 1 year 5 month layoff. How great is that? That says a lot about his career if that is his best win to date...... not only was he 39 & 1 year & 5 months removed from his last fight, he almost ktfo floyd. seriously, this guy is now being treated like a boxing god? a little perspective please people. If we see the world thru your eyes...then the boxing world is definately dead or dying.....Mosley was the #1 ranked WW...#3 p4p....what does that say about the boxing world if a 38/39 yr old is ranked that high? Floyd is just that good.....respect it or leave it alone.

nice to see floyd buckle a bit, but honestly, a guy buckles and everyone goes mad, his hand did not even touch the floor=he was fine. he still is the best fighter out there by a margin and pacs gonna have to do more than wobble him once, i mean can you actually imagen pac winning rounds over and over and actually putting flloyd down....no, it aint gonna happen. im not particulary a floyd fan but you got to give him credit. and to all you saying this was his best win or arguing about who his best win was its simple...he was 7'2 and 500 pounds "ITS THE BIG SHOW"

Baldomir came off an 8 year winning streak when he defeated him also.

Quit whining. Mosley was a great win, but Coralles, Castille 1 + 2, ranks way higher!

it is when ur pushin 40, just look at jordan when he was 38 compared to 33, or Roy Jones only chance shane had was to catch him, and that was slim at best, for a 38 year old fighter who has slowed down.. COTTO was matchin Shane for speed and that was 2 years ago. athletes slow down rapidly when theyre in their mid to late 30's that is a fact.

good win but not great, sort of reminds me of Joe beating roy and b-hop theres a big difference when ur 38 compared to 33.... big DIFFERENCE 5 years isnt a major difference. Mosley wasnt shot, He is still elite

good win but not great, sort of reminds me of Joe beating roy and b-hop theres a big difference when ur 38 compared to 33.... big DIFFERENCE

So your excuse would have been Floyd's cherry picking history. :rofl: Shane was not rated the best weltweight, according to the ring he was number 2, a position he maintained for 18 months without fighting anyone. (He was no.1 but was dislodged by Pac.) my excuse would be according to certain people floyd hasn't had a decent opponent in 3 years while shane knocked out the number 1 welterweight a year ago. shane also had two training camps with an experienced trainer in nazim while floyd trainer is consider to be a crack head to certain poster on this site.

floyd's best win was against hatton and corrales

so in almost two yrs an some months the only fight floyd has had is a active fight against a lightweight the fight before that was against as you guys put it a ricky hatton fighting in a division he didn't belong in. an this all prepared him for a fight against the 38 yr old best welterweight in the word. but on the other hand in almost 2 years an some months shane mosley had knocked out 170 pounds ricardo mayorga and the number 1 welterweight in margarito. if floyd had lost looks like i would have had a valid excuse for why.

great performance by floyd, but this was not his greatest win. beating a monster in corrales, who was undefeated and in his prime was more impressive than an almost 40 shane, past his prime. I agree, I rate the Corrales and Castillo II win way above this one. I think the hype around the fight has clouded people judgement, I mean just look at some of the PPV predictions, the early numbers suggest around 1.2m which are good numbers, but 2m+, come on...!

It does not count the way the die hard Floyd fans perceive it to count, "Oh, Floyd just beat the p4p2#". Let excuse the fact he was a light weight. It was still a fight and it served it purpose, it kept Floyd active. It would have been interesting to seen how Mosley looked against Berto, he may have lost and this fight against Floyd may never have happened. so in almost two yrs an some months the only fight floyd has had is a active fight against a lightweight the fight before that was against as you guys put it a ricky hatton fighting in a division he didn't belong in. an this all prepared him for a fight against the 38 yr old best welterweight in the word. but on the other hand in almost 2 years an some months shane mosley had knocked out 170 pounds ricardo mayorga and the number 1 welterweight in margarito. if floyd had lost looks like i would have had a valid excuse for why.

either the fight counts or it doesn't. do you really think fighting a bloated lightweight as you guys call him is enough preparation for a fight against the best welterweight in the world? according to you guys it's like the fight didn't even count,but now i see it only counts when you want to use it against floyd.

Okay, as long as you recognize that Mayweather won't get credit for winning against Pacquiao (if the fight happens and if he wins) because Pacquiao was either: 'not a legitimate Welterweight', 'Blood drained', 'In too many wars', 'distracted by the pressure of submitting to tests' or 'he has too many projects going at once'. I mean really, if you want to play that game, there are plenty of excuses to detract from the merit of a win to go around.

How is it contradictory, should we then say Floyd had a 29 month lay off?? either the fight counts or it doesn't. do you really think fighting a bloated lightweight as you guys call him is enough preparation for a fight against the best welterweight in the world? according to you guys it's like the fight didn't even count,but now i see it only counts when you want to use it against floyd.

green K for TS from you??? LOL Salty boxingscene posters are the best :bottle:
