    I'm not depriving Floyd of a magnificent comeback round.

    I'm just shocked that thats all it took for Mosley to fall apart.

      In his prime his stamina was better. He would still be going strong into the late rounds, not fade after round two.

        I mean its all the Floyd fans that are saying it.

        I honestly think a prime Mosley would've finished that fight in the 2nd.
        If anyone says that he's obviously b ias....can't be taken seriously.

        But I haven't seen them say that.......just that Mosley was a threat and a good win which he was..

          the problem wasnt shanes stamina,hes not shot at all,he gets beat by atg future hall of famer,dont mean hes done though!.

          He did the perfect thing in round 1 and 2 and i thought he would carry doing through the fight as it was winning him the round/s and getting hurt on floyd too.

          But becuase he hurt floyd so early he had only 1 shot mind to land the KO punch,very foolish of him,he should have been smart and kept sticking the hard jab to the body then the head and the combinations over and over to land the right hand,that would have atleast kept his chances of winning the fight.

          But fair play to floyd,he finally took on a real welterweight challenge,showed good versatility and smarts.

          He could have done this ages ago and most likely beat both cotto and margarito with ease,instead of take a very long holiday.

          Now pac v floyd should be made by the comission making the rules be changed for testing for their fight and see it as a trial for how good it can be in the long term usage.

          I know floyd can step up and give pac his trickiest fight yet,but i know to also never count out pacman and that he boxes smart,sticks to gameplans and improves more and more every fight, where as shane is a same kind of guy who can box and fight even better,but is too hungry for the KO and doesnt always stay course to be strict and focused to box the game plans that allow him to win tricky fights.

          Pac vs floyd

          or if thats not made pac vs mosley, berto vs floyd.

          or berto vs mosley, floyd pac, or even pac v mosley.

            To be honest Floyd does a lot of passive techniques inside the ring that are highly underrated on deciding the outcome on fight night, like his feints and ability to throw someone off with movement, or how his overrall defense shuts down all of his opponent's output and everyone always thinks that Floyd is a wimp, and then when they get inside the ring with him they actually find out that he is stronger and that can **** someone entire strenght/power strategy and mentality.

              Exactly Shane wasn't scared of Floyd at first that's why he was throwing. As the fight went on he started to get worried about Mayweathers power/speed, and lost a little bit of confidence. His salvation was to sit back defend and look to end it all in one big shot. Something that worked against him unfortunately, as Floyd just asserted his dominance even more. Than Shane couldn't hit him at all and started struggling, loosing all his confidence and chances of winning the fight

                  number one problem for Mosley was Mayweather adjusting and moving forwards for large periods of the fight. But there were some strange circumstanes that coldnt have helped:

                  Mosley didnt apear to hit the mits for very long after getting his gloves on, he looked dry just not warmed up in round 1. Mosley gassed or was hurt from round 4 on, why?

                  he either got hit with something
                  he overtrained
                  or the layoff reared it ugly head

                  He just seemed to lose all energy and his legs were not there. But Mayweather showed heart, some power and pure boxing genius too.
