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

[-EX-]

shane needs to call it a day, he couldnt pull the trigger

Its tough to pull the trigger when the target isn't there...

If Shane didn't have heart and will he wouldn't have made it to the final bell IMO...

Shane was missing too much, I dont know why everyone seem to make the same mistake whenever they get in there with Mayweather, Mosley hurt Mayweather in the 2nd round and in the next round it was like nothing happened in the previous round.

Thast what you a call a in fight adjustment.

Nothing masterful about that fight. If anything it was embarassing. I called for Mosleys retirement after his fight with Mayorga, and again after his fight with Margarito.

The man has been slurring his words lately, and it was very obvious even before the fight was signed that his reflexes would not be there for him.

Not to take anything away from Floyd, he is an extremely talented fighter, but his choice of opponents never fails to disappoint.

Shane looked the same way Oscar did against Pacman, and that is because his reflexes are gone and he couldn't pull the trigger.

Just give Floyd his props, the man weathered the storm and dominated. I agree it will not be an easy task with Pacman, but for Mosley to jump in the ring and charge Mayweather up in the Marquez fight and fight like a amateur shows you how good Mayweather really is. There is no need to be negative with his performance tonight whether u hate him or not, any real boxing fan would clearly see Floyd has mad skills and not too many boxers can do what he does night in and night out. I was amazed it was like watching an ice skater on ice or finally solving a algebra problem. The guy is insanely good!!!

Mayweather was just as great as I hoped for. This puts him No. 1 P4P with no doubt. Mosley was avoided by Pacman and seems every time there is a real challenge Mayweather rises to the occasion. great Job Mayweather !!!

Floyd Mayweather maintained his unbeaten record moving to 41-0 with a shutout unanimous points victory over Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. He took the bout 118-110, 119-109 (twice) on the judges’ cards.

Apart from the second round, which Mosley took with gusto, when he momentarily had the younger man under fire having caught him with a right hand. But Mayweather recovered and returned fire by the end of the round. Thereafter, he dismantled Mosley piece by piece turning him into a 38-year-old jigsaw puzzle by the end of the second third of the contest. It was another boxing lesson from Mayweather:

that cant be accurate.

no way shane threw that many punches.

he wasnt active the second half..

This fight put the JMM fight in perspective. I told people that JMM looked good. He was the same JMM and could still hang with Pac at that weight. Floyd just made him look that bad and it was the same with Shane

[flexxx145]

I think what also did Shane in was the fact throughout the entire build up to the fight Shane kept saying he was just as fast as Mayweather. Easy to say that until you get in the ring and experience first hand. I think it mentally took something out of Mosley too when he saw that his best punch only stunned Floyd instead of knocking him out. From then on Floyd knew he could take Shanes punch and didn't mind standing there and fighting. Naazim was getting pissed in the corner, even threatened to throw in the towel.

Yep once Floyd ate Mosley's best punch and shook it off that was the end of the fight.

Taken from compubox!

There really isn't much else to say except that was sick.

He's the greatest defensive boxer of all time. Greater than Sweet Pea.

I know you weren't thinking that when Floyd wobbled for the first time in his career lol. Nah but I think you maybe correct because the way Floyd came back after getting rocked, it was incredible.

****m said it correct in the 24/7 show where he said people underestimate floyd's heart and aggression and 'if Shane stood on Floyd's tail then he would turn into a dragon'.

[Ray*]

Yeah he was missing because he was **** compared to the guy he was fighting. Like.

Andre Berto would have put up a much GREATER fight v Mayweather.

Not the old, washed up salty Mosley.

I wouldnt call Mosley Wash-up i would dare call a fighter like him that but he just didnt fight smart like i thought he would especially after a big 2nd round.
