I expected him to outbox mosley and I expected mosley to take big shots.

    But what I didn't expect was for floyd to be a lot stronger than mosley. I think even if mosley made it a rough fight by jumping on floyd and imposing his size he would've still lost because floyd was stronger than him.

    FLOYD AINT NO SMALL WW, he's so strong physically that he could beat a lot of 154 lbers.
    Imagine that...But who gives a **** if you was impressed? Remember Floyd would never fight Mosley!

      just rewatch the fight and see how floyd was pushing mosley back and controlling mosley by pushing his head down or controlling mosley's arms. floyd is a very strong WW. he ain't small for a WW. he just out bigged a big WW. c'mon man.
      This exactly. Floyd has looked like he filled out at WW since his layoff. He just looks great at the weight and I for one was impressed with that last night. I thought that at the Marquez fight but partly thought it seemed that way because Marquez is so much smaller, but he proved that isn't the case. Maybe that's why he wants the blood testing, so nobody accuses him. For all his faults, Mayweather has probably the best work ethic and preparation in the sport.

          i also think floyd has grew into a good sized ww, but idk about floyd being able to counter punches from different angles coming from pacquiao, they need to hurry up and fight.

            Size =///= strength.


            Mayweather is small for a WW, specially now-a-days. His frame is a JWW one but his strength is something else. Even Oscar said that after fighting him at 154.

            People think they can push around Floyd because he is small but wind up getting pushed around and controlled.

              Same with Pernell Whitaker. Little dude; only 5'5 1/2 and he was able to move much bigger opponents around the ring. Mayweather's strength can be really underrated.

                  remember, it took a natural disaster to force floyd into this fight

                    Anyone who thinks Pac is bigger and stronger than Floyd is on crack.

                    Floyd's physique was sculpted to be a boxer.

                      floyd is very strong, he isnt "big" but he is strong and his conditioning should never be underestimated again. People assume he is fragile because he usually fights defensively but last night and the hatton fight we get to see just how much all his dedication and training pays off
