Here is a very well written article by Russ Abner that all *******s could learn from!
Russ Abner: MAYWEATHER REMOVES ALL DOUBT AS TO WHO IS KING
With no disrespect to Manny Pacquiao,
The winnaaaah by unanimous decision! And NEW, unnnnnnndisputed pound-for-pound champion, Floyyyyyd Mayyyyyyyyyyyweather!!!!!
You read correctly folks, don't even think otherwise!!!
I don't want to hear ANYTHING about how Shane is old, Shane is finished, Shane didn't follow up, Shane didn't throw combinations, Shane stopped jabbing, Shane was stiff. Whatever Shane didn't due was a direct result of a performance for the ages, by one of the greatest fighters to ever enter the ring.
Let me say that again just in case you didn't believe your eyes, Floyd Mayweather, regardless of how much some of you may dislike him personally, and let's be honest, that is certainly not difficult, is a boxing genius and one of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen. Not only did he once again demonstrate his absolutely outstanding and rare talent, but in Round 2, he showed he had the chin and the heart of a champion. After being hurt by two powerful right hands by Mosley, Mayweather, like all great champions, re-grouped and came back to dominate a truly great fighter in Mosley, like no one has ever dominated him before.
Here's is another point I don't want any confusion on either: Shane Mosley is a fantastic athlete, multiple world champion and future Hall of Famer. His most recent win, albeit a year ago, was a convincing, crushing destruction of one of the most feared fighters in the game today in Antonio Margarito.
Prior to that win, Mosley's record was stockpiled with names that look like a list for a Hall of Fame presentation. Add to that his 39 KOs in 46 wins and you have a KO percentage of 74%. That stat alone makes the right hands that he hit Mayweather with in round two even more credible.
Also, going into this fight, Mosley was on nearly everyone's top 10 pound-for-pound list. Folks, please make no mistake about it, "Sugar" Shane Mosley is a great fighter. Scratch that, Shane Mosley is one of the greatest fighters of our generation.
Having said that, Mayweather toyed with him like he was a novice, amateur sparring partner. In order to offer up the performance that Floyd brilliantly offered up Saturday night, one cannot even imagine how great Floyd has to be.
With lightning-fast hands, great anticipation, a wonderful sense of distance and the precision of a surgeon, Mayweather has separated himself from the rest of the boxing world. Few athletes in any sport can make that claim. Floyd has made it loud and clear and now, without a doubt.
By no means has Floyd always made the best decisions outside the ring, and he certainly doesn't seem to go out of his way to endear himself to the masses, but when he is in the gym and when he steps into the ring, he is pure genius - the kind of genius reserved for that once-in-a-lifetime prodigy.
There have always been excuses in trying to diminish many of Mayweather's victories or even non-fights (Pacquiao). The great Juan Manuel Marquez was too small, Hatton was dropped dead by Manny, de la Hoya could have won, he's ducking Margarito, Mayweather hand-picks his opponents, and the list goes on and on. While many or even all of those statements may be true, last night Mayweather proved that all of the above are just feeble excuses.
On Saturday night, Mayweather took on a great fighter in Mosley, and there were experts all over the world who envisioned a Mosley victory.
This one fight, this one dominant performance against a legitimate boxing great, has propelled Mayweather to new heights, and removed any and all doubts as to who is king!
