    He was prime for 2 rounds.

    I don't understand why he stopped punching after Floyd had a good comeback round 3.

    Is one good round from Mayweather that devastating that Mosley was neutered for the rest of the fight?

    It doesn't add up.


    Martinez/Floyd is the fight.

    Much better legacy fight for Floyd imo for the simple fact that Martinez is bigger and better than Pacquiao.

      mosley was gassed by the middle of the 3rd round. sure floyd had something to do with it but it was mostly a combination of shane's age and long inactivity!

        It was a little bit of both if you ask me man. At the time Shane seemed gassed he did not even take much punishement.

          He clearly got tired because he wasn't doing EPO for this fight.

            I get tired just watching him.




            But in all seriousness, why do people act like Shanes age had nothing to do with him gassing by the 4th or 5th round.


            Floyd hadn't done much to him by that point. Shane just got tired on his own.

            He was shot burner. It was a decent win, but lets not get carried away.

            That was not even close to a prime Choogar.

            A prime Choogar would've ended the fight in the 2nd round.


            Shot......i don't think you know the definition of a shot fighter........he is still not shot after this fight.....but he won't be as good anymore....Floyd has physically and mentally broken him down.

              people trying to use that "shane is old" excuse are just blowing smoke...you think ****m richardson couldn't see if shane was tired in training? you think he'd just ignore it? they've been training together for almost a year and a half straight...shane's nerves made him tired...not his age...he's always been well conditioned...he got tired against cotto...but he worked his ass off in tht fight...**** arreola doesn't get tired after round 3...how the hell is shane mosley going to?

                Shane is always in decent shape he got tired because he was fighting Floyd.
                The first two are definitely possible, but the third isn't. Floyd did not go to the body enough for it to have any effect on Shane's conditioning. Floyd landed 17 body punches the whole fight to Shane's 42.

                  And BINGO was his name.




                  To answer the topic question,

                  they have an agenda . . . they haven't thought it through . . . they don't know what they're seeing . .

                  one (or two, or even all) of those 3, depending on the individual.

                    You may well be correct.

                      I didn't even watch the fight.

                      Had no one willing to stay up and do it on TV because I don't have Sky and I was too damn tired to wait for a stream. (4AM+)

                      Was it good?

                      Don't be bias on me now ****.
