    I have never seen a boxer look as natural in the ring as Floyd does.

    The calmness he exudes, the punch selection, the fact that he can adapt and fight any way he wants, the brilliant array of punches he can throw with either hand, the way he transitions from impregnable defence to potent offence so seamlessly, the continuous boxing masterclasses he gives, the lack of any discernible weaknesses...

    His resume might not be the best ever, but his skillset might just very well be. Or at least one of the best.

    Did you see him smile as Mosley landed those huge shots? Even in his corner!

    So freaking relaxed, HOW DOES HE DO IT?!

      Man, I have never seen anything like it either. He was literally groomed to be a fighter man. I agree with all of thee above. Dude is on another level in the skils department.

        It was crazy because my pops is a huge Mosley fan and thought Shane had won the fight in rd 2. Ten rounds later he had a much different look on his face.

          He never gets rattled! He was smiling through the second round like he knew something we didn't know. It's unreal that this guy doesn't seem to have any nerves whatsoever.

            Floyd is not from this planet. In my opinion he is the most skilled boxer in the history of boxing. I was pissing my pants when he got hurt but he on the otherhand was just smiling in the corner and looking over Rogers shoulder to catch the replay . I don't think anyone will ever match his skills. We should enjoy it while we still can you guys.

              He is so calm and collected it's not even funny.

              Even after that 2nd round.

              He went back to his corner and he didn't even seem to be shook. At all.

                im glad i watched it live i thought shane had him in round two incredible adjustments made by mayweather and he made them so quick he just took over the fight in a way i wasn't expecting

                makes me think though what berto must be thinking i bet he must be pissed he gave up the opportunity to fight shane that being said i don't think berto would have had the success mayweather had

                mayweather is quicker than any of his opponents expect him to be plus the elusiveness really discourages fighters after a while

                i never expected him to take the fight to shane either he promised to be more offensive and boy did he deliver

                  its very common for fighters to smile when they are hurt or in other trouble, its partly to fool ppl they are okey but mainly their pride. like lampley said he was embarassed to get hurt, so he smiled to pretend he wasnt.

                  just makes it the more impressive how he was able to stay calm in adversity and then adjust to turn the fight around completely.

                    Funnily enough, I do think he was shook by that second round. All the smiling was just bravado, IMHO. But the way he dominated the 3rd round was extraordinary, he just completely took the fight away from that point.
