    Is there any question that Floyd is one of the smartest fighters of all time?

    Seriously...of all time.

        I would not have use the word ENIGMA before last night. Crap, the dude fought a radically different style than we have seen him use before.

        Now , the day after the fight, the word "Enigma" is a perfect fit.

          Seriously no, there hasn't been a smarter fighter in the sport without a doubt. Everytime when Roger tells him "just box you gonna figure that mother***a out "lol it just makes go damn the kid is a genius.

            Oh I too was surprised, Floyd showed he is versatile. No doubt in my mind a Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight would be great! Great offense vs Great defense.

              Certainly would be, the only person holding this fight up is that scum Arum. He made it fall to pieces last time out.

                Everyone had their predictions on this fight would go. Most picked Floyd to outbox Shane by circling around the ring using his jab and countering Shane. Others picked Shane to pressure Floyd and eventually knock him out. Shanes trainer ****m Richardson predicted that Shane would punch Floyd in the mouth and he would grow wings, sprout claws and spit fireballs at Shane at which Shane would step on his tail and go underneath to beat him.

                BUT nobody predicted that Floyd of all people would stand toe to toe with Shane and walk him down much like Winky Wright did to Shane. Neither Shane nor ****m expected this "element of surprise" and i think this was threw them off as everyone expected Floyd to pot shot, use his jab, counter, dart in and out, circle Mosley and just simply outbox him. Yes ****m predicted fireballs but he didn't expect it from close quarters, they expected it from a distance. Much props should go to team Mayweather for this strategy as throughout all the talks of Shane being suspectible to the jab no-one expected Mayweather to walk Shane down. "The element of surprise"- Discuss.

                That's a post I did about this. I watched Shane vs Collazo fight again and felt Floyd would back Shane up and possibly stop him. Good post though.

                  Huey, glad you are finally showing some respect. You were assholic before the fight.

                  Mayweather is great offense/great defense and Pac is great offense.

                    I have to give props to the Pretty Boy, he was stunned and didnt panic... stayed calm and wanted to ****.

                    His quickness and timing made Mosley look every bit of a 38 year old.

                      that **** is on pac too. arum works for pac, not the other way around.

                      pac can tell arum to cut whatever BS hes doing and make the fight happen but pac isnt doing that.

                      so pac is the problem just as much as arum
