        How is it contradictory, should we then say Floyd had a 29 month lay off??

          Floyd was away for 8 months himself, + he only had a tune up after a 2 year layoff.

              either the fight counts or it doesn't.

              do you really think fighting a bloated lightweight as you guys call him is enough preparation for a fight against the best welterweight in the world?

              according to you guys it's like the fight didn't even count,but now i see it only counts when you want to use it against floyd.

                That says a lot about his career if that is his best win to date......



                not only was he 39 & 1 year & 5 months removed from his last fight, he almost ktfo floyd.

                seriously, this guy is now being treated like a boxing god?

                a little perspective please people.
                Okay, as long as you recognize that Mayweather won't get credit for winning against Pacquiao (if the fight happens and if he wins) because Pacquiao was either: 'not a legitimate Welterweight', 'Blood drained', 'In too many wars', 'distracted by the pressure of submitting to tests' or 'he has too many projects going at once'. I mean really, if you want to play that game, there are plenty of excuses to detract from the merit of a win to go around.

                  It does not count the way the die hard Floyd fans perceive it to count, "Oh, Floyd just beat the p4p2#". Let excuse the fact he was a light weight.

                  It was still a fight and it served it purpose, it kept Floyd active.

                  It would have been interesting to seen how Mosley looked against Berto, he may have lost and this fight against Floyd may never have happened.

                    great performance by floyd, but this was not his greatest win. beating a monster in corrales, who was undefeated and in his prime was more impressive than an almost 40 shane, past his prime.

                      so in almost two yrs an some months the only fight floyd has had is a active fight against a lightweight the fight before that was against as you guys put it a ricky hatton fighting in a division he didn't belong in.

                      an this all prepared him for a fight against the 38 yr old best welterweight in the word.

                      but on the other hand in almost 2 years an some months shane mosley had knocked out 170 pounds ricardo mayorga and the number 1 welterweight in margarito.

                      if floyd had lost looks like i would have had a valid excuse for why.
