I've seen a lot a lot of posts from several different poster recently, who are claiming that Floyds recent victory over Shane Mosley was in-part or completely because Shane gassed out after round 2.
Is it just me, or is that extremely disrespectfull and wrong?? Not just toward Floyd(who put on an amazing display of boxing), i also find it ridiculous to claim that Shane, a proffesional fighter for 17 years, whos been fighting 12 round fights for 13, to gas out after only 6 minutes of boxing!?! I know hes getting older, but still, the margarito win was not THAT long ago...
Now i know theres a lot of Mayweather haters on this forum, and i take it it is just another way of discrediting him and what IMO was a masterful performance and a very good win, but i would still like some feedback
What do you guys think??
Some people prefer to discredit fighters instead of admitting they are wrong and giving props. Before the fight alot of people on there forum where picking Shane to win and when the fight is over these people come up with their excuses. It's nothing new
To say Shane was gassed was just ridiculous. He wasnt tired
He just didnt know what to do in there...

age + lay-off + overtraining + OST = gassed mosley
That's what happens when you are suddenly off the juice. Shane was pumped with HGH and EPO for most of his fights and looked like complete crap without his PEDs.
Pacquiao fans & Floyd haters think Mosley gassed after 2 rounds & would have KO'd PBF if he didn't. You can see that from the first few posts in this thread.
Flomos think Mosley wasn't affected by age at all.
Neutrals think that whilst age was always going to be a factor, Mosley was just too tense, loaded up too much on most of his shots & had his offensive game neutralised once Mayweather figured him out.
We have a winner!
It doesn't matter how many years you have been fighting 12 rounders, when you get older your stamina diminishes. Obviously Roy doesn't have half the stamina he used to have, he never even got winded before. Now it's a different story, he has to take breaks every round. Shane is 38 years old and doesn't have the stamina he had 3 years ago. Regardless, it was an amazing performance by Mayweather.
please don't use roy as an example....roy doesn't "take breaks" b/c he's tired, roy takes breaks b/c he's afraid of being hit.
while i'm not going to say shane's age had NO affect on his performance, i will say, it wasn't a big enough factor to excuse his performance, as it is being used here.
fact is, watch shane's fights...he always looks gassed out mid-fight, then gets a "second wind" towards the latter stages of the bout. mayweather even pointed out the fact that shane "gases out" in an interview following the weigh-in.
bottom line is, he definitely WASN'T tired after only 2 rounds....he hurt mayweather, and decided to hold back, load up, and look for an opening to land a KO shot. if dudes go back and watch the fight, you can hear naazim tell shane to fight, and quit "looking for the perfect shot, there is none." but that's what he did, and while he was doing so, he was taking shots from mayweather. by round 5, the fight was over, but it wasn't b/c shane was tired. it was b/c the dude only fights ONE way, and when he hurts you, he expects to finish you. if he can't, he can't make any adjustments, and for an opponent as smart as mayweather, once you figure out what shane is trying to do, he is realtively easy to beat. and floyd made it look that way. enough with the excuses already.

NOw thats feedback..
Thanks for sharing and makin a good point and perspective.
So what youre saying is that Shane's mental state and bodylanguage made him look more tired than he actually would or should have been at that point??
maybe i could actually go with that
Yes , mentally Shane was beaten from the get go especially after his big run in the 2nd was over and had no effect , he said he was tight and tense thats mind stuff , Floyd owned him in a beat down and Shane didnt know what to do with Floyd so his body just fell in a hole . people underestimate mental domination and its effects on the body .
When your owned mentally and outclassed your body just gives it up , Shane looked out of it in all departments , he had his shot and blew his bolt and then was mentally raped systematically demoralized give the impression of tiring because the mind is beaten .

He was gassed.
Flomos believe it was because Floyd landed a couple of bodyshots. i dont. :D
am a fan of both pac and floyd but damn bros,you have never said a good word of floyd..all you say regarding floyd is negative and low..anyone would think that you could beat floyd and that he aint no 5 division world champ...pac is not everything you know..you can appreciate other talents...BREATH SON...lol

Isn't it disrespectful to claim Pac is on roids because he dominates his opponents? It goes both ways. They both don't get full credit for anything because they are that damn good.

Is it disresepctful to tell the truth?
watch Shane walk back to his corner at the end of Round 2, he was more fcuked than Mayweather and he won the damn round
it was a wrap from there
