Why do people act like Floyd had nothing to do with Shane getting tired?

I enjoyed the fight. Floyd hung in the pocket and pushed the fight. He didn't run, sat on his punches and looked more like the 135 pound Floyd, more offense. Floyd got hurt pretty badly by a massive right as well in the second and made it through adversity. It wasn't a great fight, but it was nice to see Floyd get hurt and come back and do something great. Apparently he is changing to a more fan friendly style according to his press conference. It wasn't a war but that wasn't Floyd's fault, Mosley was super gun shy. He looks old now, gun shy, worse stamina, and his reflexes are diminished. Mosley can still beat most of the welterweights IMO but PBF certainly put on a dominating performance. He definitely helped him look old because Mosley isn't that slow or that off, PBF is just that much better.Comment

To me most people just do not realize what Floyd does in the ring, I don't know how he does it but he always gets guys on his plan and it does not matter once they are on that plan they can't escape.
Floyd really fights with his head and does not focus on battering the other guy but instead on attacking their style and I don't know if fans realize how truly devestating that can be.Comment

But floyd nuthuggers will refuse to see that, it's been very evident already even before the fight. Shane got no more stamina and already old and he just wants a big payday which i think he deserves too.
He almost did put a harelip on floyd though just as i had wanted...is all i want but still came short.

I think His daddy coming in has made him a better fighter.I enjoyed the fight. Floyd hung in the pocket and pushed the fight.

I noticed mroe use of the jab since Snr came in. Was that in use again?
I had a feeling that Mosely with the lay off, and his age would lose his legs, since he didn't even stay with Cotto, but didn;t think he would be gun shy.
I thought he would go for it wrecklessly.
Surprised but also not.
Yeah I ehard Floyd got tagged by a right.
I don;t wanna watch it on a ****ty stream, too good a fight for that. I think I'd enjoy this. Better than the JMM fight? That was decent.Comment

He had something to do with it sure. Don't act like Shane being old isn't why it happened so early though.
Shane was exhausted because Floyd made him work too hard. Guys like Cotto and Marg were in front of him. Didn't make him think as much. When you're constantly worrying about getting tagged plus landing a solid punch on the other guy you use up more energy.Comment

He is an amazing fighter for sures. Not to many true weaknesses especially now that he looks like the fighter that I was a fan of, stays in the pocket and throws punches while eating at least some leather. I don't think fighters game plan for Floyd very well and since he is smarter then them and since he has a century worth of boxing intellect between him, Roger, and Sr. it is very difficult to game plan for him.To me most people just do not realize what Floyd does in the ring, I don't know how he does it but he always gets guys on his plan and it does not matter once they are on that plan they can't escape.

I think that a solid body attack would do the trick. It would take a very fluid combination puncher with a great jab(speed and pop) to beat Floyd. The body punches that Mosley landed were straight rights to the body that were bothering Floyd, Mosley just wouldn't throw them, to scared of the counter.
That straight right to the body is always there regardless of what defensive shell he is in philly or orthodox. I don't know why fighters head hunt against PBF, he has great head movement, a nice shoulder roll, and he uses his right so well to defend the left hook, very fluid defense, effortless. But his gloves are always higher and the body shot below his left elbow is always there. I mean he will adjust but it is one of his habits I noticed, when he protects that he leaves the left hook to the body open. If Mosley would have saved that hard shot to the head till the 6th round he would have had a better shot at finishing him, of course Mosley's stamina wasn't what it once was he did look gassed compared to the Mosley of old.
Fighters need a full body attack against PBF or they won't ever have a shot at beating him. I don't think anyone has the potential to beat PBF right now. No one is smart enough, no one adjusts enough.Comment
