Mosley beating Floyd isn't just... does he have the skills..

[Da Hammer]

Great point on the stamina, but he didn't have the skills either. A magnificent performance and yet I read in disbelief the amount of discrediting comments posted up. Indeed it does seem he can't win. I wonder what the excuses will be if Manny should ever fight him.

That performance tonight was a thing of beauty.

IF the fight ever happens and floyd were to dominate pac, then no excuses would be made. It would be the most legit competetive fight of floyd's career, entering the fight. Prime vs Prime. 2 Greats in the ring! I think its a 50/50 though that will probably never get made... which is a shame!

I called this **** to a tee.

Everybody came in here boasting Shane's tremendous stamina and how it wouldn't even be a problem.

Gtfoh.

I dont't know what is going on but I can't create a new thread. I'm going out now so I'll catch up tomorrow, but I gotta say 6 things:

1) Floyd beat that ass on an excellent Mosley
2) FLoyd's mot impressive win since Corrales.
3) Floyd is the man at WW officially.
4) FLoyd totally shut him down and took his heart and Mosley WAS boxing very well until Floyd hit him with that combo in the 3rd.
5) Floyd could have taken him out anything after the 8th, I was just praying it wasn't in the 10th cuz that's what BUrner predicted.
6) I always said Floyd has a chin and was durable but he has major heart.


PS) Floyd's only fault- not enough killer instinct, stop carrying your opponent


OUCH, I'm gonna get much more wasted tonite.

Did you not see the counter shots everytime Mosley came in?

Mosley had an excellent round, in round 2.

Aside from that... his stamina was the biggest factor of the fight.

OP hit the nail on the head, Shane looked absolutely shocking in there.

Not taking anything away from mayweathers performance, which aside from the 2nd round it was pretty much picture perfect. But Mosley made it easy for him since his stamina failed on him big time.

Mosley looked tired after the 2nd round drama and then for the rest of the fight he looked absolutely gassed, like he was afraid to let his hands go in fear of expending what little energy he had left. I mean Shanes not exactly one to shy away from a fight, but after the 2nd round he looked like he didnt want to even attempt to take the fight to mayweather.

Plus all that nervous energy with him bouncing around like that must have drained him even more.

Pretty dissapointed in all honesty, I was hoping for a more competitive fight, which no doubt it could have been if Mosley had stamina. Time for him to hang up the gloves I guess.

He has no one to blame but himself. He was too tense, nervous, jittery. Reminded me of Taylor.
