Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Masterful In Domination of Shane Mosley

[Money22]

If Pacquiao could barely penetrate a clean punch on Clottey what makes you think he'll be an issue for Mayweather. Unlike Clottey, Mayweather will Counter-Punch Pacquiao all night.

Good performance yesterday by floyd! Man he looked good in there.

On a side note, WHO ELSE HATES WATCHING FIGHTS WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT BOXING?? Lol

Cong**** to Floyd, great fight!

Well, if Mayweather demands more than a 50-50 split against Pacman, the fight will never happen. Pacman will retire a rich man and Floyd will have nobody else to fight to help him get out of debt. The money he made last night let him break even. He is still broke...

[QUOTE=trickshot;8254510]stop putting hickies on floyd's nuts, geez. that was just the shell of mosley, old and shot and can't pull the trigger anymore[/QUOTE]

and like many others you will be the first to say the same about Pac when he gets schooled by Mayweather's technical greatness. Nobody ever looks good fighting Mayweather. Pac is no exception.

People called for Mayweather to fight the best and he did. He stood toe to toe with arguably the strongest true WW in the sport and dominated him. Mosley is a beast and if he was fighting anyone else you would have seen it. I still favor Mosley over Pac.

wow, i thought shane had him out in the second round, almost.

a brilliant recovery and performance by floyd.

shane is done, he was gasping with his mouth open in the 7th round and was gassed.

god bless him, he had a wonderful career.

manny wont take that test because floyd will knock him out in 6.

floyd is just too accurate.

Well, Shane tried to load up an awful lot once he stunned Floyd. He needed to keep pressing, but save a little bit of the power for the right moments.

It reminded me of Jermain Taylor's first fight with Kelly Pavlik. Taylor stunned Pavlik, and then simply tried to bomb him out of there in the 2nd round. As a result, he ran out of gas and allowed the other man to gain control.

Once Mayweather got his legs back and started dictating distance and punch output, Shane was lost. It was like Winky Wright all over again.

Mayweather didn't fight his way to victory; he avoided fighting and therefore avoided losing. He basically slowed the fight to a crawl making it a game of "free throws" where time stops and it becomes one punch at a time. Mayweather will win that fight against anybody.

If he meets with a good fighter who can consistently put pressure on him (a la Castillo, who DID win one of those two fights), he'll be forced to show us something different.

When he and Pacquiao meet, it will be a brutal, high-action affair. Pacquiao won't quit forcing the action (thus roughing Mayweather up), but will also be left open to beautiful counters by Mayweather. Hopefully they keep it up for 12 rounds.

I still can't rank either guy in my top 10 p4p all-time list until they fight each other. Hopefully in a trilogy or something. Then they can retire.

GREAT performance by Floyd! He showed his chin could holdup to two massive shots from the great Shane Mosley. Impressive.

[Access_Denied]

Just as I expected "Money" dominating and "Sugar" just turning OLD overnight Mosley knows he wasn't going to be able to interfere with May/Pac happening no one can baby it's all about the Money it ain't even about Boxing anymore ....

Floyd fought a perfect fight and I was impressed with his performance. I wished he would have gone for the knockout cause shane looked gassed 4 or 5 rds in and his defense was terrible. Shane fought the exact opposite of the way he needed to, to have a chance. He had a solid second rd and then came out in the 3rd and 4th and didn't throw a punch. He lost every rd after the 2nd. I know Floyd's defense is good but you have to throw punches and Mosley couldn't even when his corner was begging him to let his hands go. Mosley gave up after the 2nd and you could tell he just didn't have the conditioning to be in with a younger faster guy. Mosley is done and should retire. THAT MOSLEY WON'T BE COMPETITIVE WITH ANY TOP FIGHTERS.

If Floyd isn't going to fight Pac he should move up and face Sergio or Pwill. Floyd showed he is one of the top fighters and he looked like a big strong WW.

Good assessment. Mosley stopped fighting after rd 2 and did everything Floyd wanted him too. Standing still waiting for each other to throw the next punch is Floyd's game. I think the 3 guys in the sport who have the ability to beat Floyd are Pac, Pwill and Martinez. I think these would all be good fights with all 3 being in their primes. Hope Floyd fights one of these next instead of taken a norisk money fight.
I don't think Berto is that good but I think he would have been able to beat that Mosley. He just had no endurance and showed a lot of ring rust.
