    At no point did Floyd start “dancing and moving around” like he tried to claim.

    Floyd stood infront of him all night and walked him down as the aggressor for long periods also.
    Mosley did back to back training for that fight. That is why he was done after the second round.

      So why are acting like fighters holding is something new?

      Are you trying to imply that Floyd held excessively against Mosley? Because he really didn’t.

        Shane did full random Olympic style drug testing and that's why he was done after the 2nd round. He could still punch hard but didn't have his "prime" aka balco enhanced stamina to throw hard shots for endless rounds. The new nose might not have helped too lol.

          neither one of those guys had the power Mosley had

            It’s ironic; Shane, SRL, Hearns, Duran, like many past, all fought series fights/rematches/trilogies with their arch rivals/nemesis MOVING UP IN WEIGHTS, yet Floyd didn’t want to claim the Lineal or Middleweight titles with Cotto or Canelo. Lol. Be it Shane vs DLH in rematches 7lbs apart, or others mentioned etc... even PAC, Barrera, Morales, Marquez... they all fought again with each other moving up in weight to entice how the performances would vary. This is why I always say GGG at 168 would be better or interesting..

            but then you’ve got guys like Larry always saying, “but why does Floyd have to move up!? Duran never moved up in weight higher than Floyd!!” Lol

            floyd ditched 144 w/ Marquez
            didn’t give Canelo or Cotto rematches for the Middleweight title.
            Floyd whitewashed both cotto and canelo..not his fault they were not good enough

                This is so true, after Mosley hurt Mayweather he came forward and started Pull Countering him and shut him out the rest of the fight

                  Margarito was no problems for Floyd, look at Mosley out muscle Tony then knock him out because of the speed difference and then look at Floyd out muscle Mosley and walk him down.
                  A fighter cannot fight everyone and everyone they dont fight is always going to beat them say the dumb ass fans of that guy.

                    You didn’t hear....Rematches at weight classes northbound. SRL fought Duran 3 times with a 13lb weight difference. What was the need for a 3rd fight? SRL vs Hearns rematch was a 13lb differential.

                    Floyd claimed Cotto and Canelo were “easy” fights. If that’s the case, why didn’t Floyd rematch them for their Middleweight titles. Cotto and Canelo had huge fan bases and guaranteed PPV money and a $50mil minimum guarantee for Floyd. Makes absolutely no sense why Floyd didn’t rematch unless he knew it was too risky. That’s why the ones I mentioned before were great.

                      Leonard and Duran were 1-1 that’s why they had a third fight.

                      Leonard and Hearns had an epic back and forth fight in which Hearns was winning when he was stopped that’s why they rematched.

                      Rematches happen for a reason.

                      Floyd arguably lost to Castillo and Maidana, so he rematched them.

                      Floyd dominated Cotto and Canelo so he didn’t rematch them.

                      Very simple.
