Shane was being Shane up until the third round

I felt bad for Naazim, he clearly knew what he wanted Shane to do but Shane just couldn't do it. It's hard not to say without sounding like you are discrediting Floyd or making excuses, but Shane was horrible. It reminded me of Pacquiao-Clottey, where Clottey just stood there doing nothing. Shane was much the same way.

Yeah I agree with you, don't want to take any credit from Floyd's performance, but at the same time, have to say Shane looked terrible.

Everyone saying prime Mosley beats Mayweather... is bull ****t !
I mean you obviously thought that no matter what the out come of the fight !
I mean what would change your opinion ?? if Mayweather starched Mosley ??
At the end of the day he won 11 out of 12 rounds...what more could he have done !

I think shane came in as good as he could have given his age. Obviously he isnt the same guy he was 5-10 years ago but he was well prepared and would have beated cotto last night no doubt and beaten every other welter out there other than Pac.

Mayweather is a lot like Wladimir K, a lot of times he only uses a fraction of his abilities because thats all he has to do to win and his fights are like sparring sessions. But we got to see him put in 100% last night and it was an amazing performance.

Of course in a different era, in say the 80s I still believe he would have had several losses but today there is no doubt in my mind he is the best and that includes a wide decision over Pac when they finally fight.

A Prime Mosley would not have beaten Mayweather. Floyd is just too good, Pacman is the only guy who has it in him to go after Mayweather for 12 straight.But he needs to take the tests.

What pissed me off is that you could tell in several instances where Floyd carried Mosley...his legs looked spent since the 3rd when he looked like he gave all that he had in the 2nd...

Floyd dominated...I think if this fight was several years ago...Floyd may have killed him back when he use to throw 4-5 hit combos. Either way, I called a KO/TKO and I wasn't very far off
