He trained 6 weeks for the Berto fight, the fight got cancelled. Then almost immediatly signed up to fight Floyd so started training for the Floyd fight. He's pretty much been training since December non stop. The body needs time to rest between fights but Shane pretty much had 2 back to back training camps.

At 38 years old, he was bound to be over trained.
good point leppard, i remember a similar thing happening with forrest against sergio mora. forrest looked shattered against mora in the first fight.
going from one training camp to another wears out the fighter and anyone who says it doesn't either doesn't know boxing or has never done any sort of training themselves.
the only fighter i can think of who went from one training camp into another and still performed is david haye.
Haye can do it because the heavyweight divsion has a slow tempo and slow work rate. Fighting in the WW division, the best and most competitive imo, especially against a powerhouse athlete like Floyd, you need your body to be 100%.
If Ricky Hatton complained that he had peaked 3 weeks earlier prior to his Pacquaio fight and that Floyd Sr overtrained him by extending his routine training camp from 10 to 12 weeks, then clearly non stop training from December onwards plays a big part in Mosleys poor performance.
I created the same thread. Atleast im not the only one who thought that, i dont wanna make excuses for the guy because he LOOKED in great shape. However, he looked very tired after round 6 like he wanted to pass out or some ****, he was panting real hard man but i just dont know why!!!
