Soooooo, Shane is the new, last hope now?

[Chuckguy]

Not sure 'Only'. imho. But so much money in it.

Very true bro!
Its hard to go against that Green thats on the table

Floyd was being Outboxed by an older partime Oscar for the first part of the fight. Was Shanee outboxed by Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright...yea for the most part...But those are the type of guys Floyd would never fight because most likely he would of lost. Winky and Vernon are stylistic nightmares for Floyd.

Styles make fights and even Mayweather Sr. and Roger have said Shane is Floyd's toughest fight.

Ummm, lots of other fighters get outboxed during the first half of their fights.

The difference is Floyd can make the proper adjustments when necessary to pull out the win.

So, I don't understand what you're trying to say.

[Pullcounter]

Comical.

Before Saturday night, Pacquiao was going to destroy Mayweather. After seeing how Floyd cut through Marquez like a hot knife through butter, you've scratched that concept and now there's a new hero in the Will Smith role? Shane Mosley to save the world?

Shane Mosley? Really?

Guys, Shane Mosley was outboxed by Oscar Delahoya, Vernon Forrest, Winky Wright and Miguel Cotto. Remember: Miguel Cotto didn't beat Shane with power. He outboxed him.

And I also saw big chunks of fights where Shane was being outboxed by a shot Fernando Vargas, by one-armed Luis Collazo, and by...RICARDO MAYORGA.

I acknowledge that most of the children on this board who are infatuated with silly nicknames just started watching boxing. And you just parrot what other people tell you. But Floyd Mayweather, Jr is not Antonio Margarito. Floyd is not a slow, robotic, six-foot stiff whose head will be in the same location all night.

Mayweather is going to take a WIIIIIDE decision from Shane. In late 2010.

as long as floyd keeps fighting, we as boxing fans have a right to demand he fights the next big challenge....

nobody in boxing can just sit around on their laurels....

I don't get why floyd stans don't get this... boxing is a mutha****in sport / competition. its not a popularity contest

Punch-by-punch by Darius Ortiz


Round 1


Ladies and gents, it's fight time! Ricardo Mayorga, all 170 pounds of him, heading to the ring. And, in case you were wondering, that's "Matador" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs that Mayorga's strutting to the ring to. If there's one guy you'd want having your back in a backalley right, it would be Mayorga. Unfortunately for him, the ring ain't a backalley, and Mosley isn't a street tough. Speaking of Mosley, here he comes now, flashing that 100-watt smile. Talk about the antithesis of Mayorga. Mosley all smiles as he waves to the crowd. Mayorga booed as he's announced. Cheers for Mosley. The fighters touch gloves, and we're off. Mayorga misses with a big right. Mosley sticks the jab in Mayorga's face. Mayorga wings another right. Mosley pegs Mayorga in the stomach with a jab. Mayorga jabbing. Mosley coming forward. That's a surprise. Mayorga throws an overhand right, then comes up with an uppercut. Mayorga rakes to the body with a digging blow. Mosley returns the favor with shots to the liver. Mosley is trading on even terms with Mayorga. That's dangerous, just ask Vernon Forrest. A big right rocks Mosley. Mosley shuffles and struggles to keep his balance. Mayorga supremely confident. Mosely trying to relax. Mayorga is leading with a telegraphed right hand -- and landing. Mosley leery at the bell.

Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Mayorga


Round 2


Mayorga storms across the ring at the bell. Mayorga is all business tonight. No showboating, no antics; all business. Mosley ties up. Mayorga throws a combination. Nice jab, followed by bodyshots by Mayorga. Mosley trying to slow Mayorga with bodyshots. Mayorga controlling the ring and fighting with a high workrate. Both men tie up with a minute left in the round. Mayorga just misses with a right. Mosley on his toes. Mayorga misses and Mosley counters with a half-hearted jab. Mayorga gets hit with a jab seconds before the bell.

Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Mayorga


Round 3


Both men trade jabs to begin Round 3. Mosley timing his shots better now. Mayorga dips between a Mosley counter, then tackles Mosley. Mayorga complaining about a head butt now. Both men touch gloves and we're off again. Mosley pummeling the body but Mayorga hasn't slowed down yet. Mayorga clubs Mosley to the body with his right as he holds Mosley with the left. I think they teach you that one in the schoolyard. Fort the third time in the round, Mayorga attempts to slam Mosley. Mayorga imposing his power on Mosley. Mayorga jabs, then throws a haymaker right.

Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Mayorga


Round 4


Mosley turning up the heat and timing Mayorga's punches. Mayorga doing everything he can to keep Mosley off his game. Mosley misses with a hook and Mayorga storms in -- but walks into a counter hook. Mayorga's punches are losing steam. Mosley counters a Mayorga charge with a pair of hooks. Now a right hand stops Mayorga in his tracks. Mosley finding a home for counter rights and hooks on Mayorga's chin now. This is by far Mosley's best round. Mayorga charges in but is met with a jab.

Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Mosley

[TRAVI$]

Mosley, Cotto & Pac are all tough tests for Floyd.
