    Which is bigger failure, Paq failing to KO Clottey, or Floyd failing to KO Mosley?

    Clottey and Shane are known to have very good chins, a lot of predictions were made that they would be knocked out by thier respective opponents anyway, it didnt happen. Maybe if fights were still fifteen rounds Paq and Floyd could have won their fights by KO or ref stoppage. Who impressed more against an iron-jawed opponent?

    I didn't expect a ko in both fights.


    Both Pac and Floyd did what they had to do and dominated their opponent.

      I didn't expect either fighter to get a KO, but I believe that Mayweather's performance was much better. Mayweather fought and dominated the number 3 P4P fighter in the world.

        Neither is a failure, at all. Floyd doesn't punch hard enough to KO Mosley, we all knew that going in, and Clottey has never even been buzzed, so I didn't expect a much smaller Pacquiao to do it.

            i didn't expect the ko for either to be honest.

            but i thought pac had more of chance to ko clottey than for mayweather to ko mosley.

            didn't expect clottey to go into turtle mode

              No welterweight alive would've dropped them, but I think Mayweather's win was a bit more impressive.

                neighter is a failure at all. u always want a KO but a win is a win, both pac and floyd dominated anyways so they proved themselfs KO or not. sometimes fighters impress more winning a decisions then scoring a KO depending on the circumstances, both pac and floyd put up brilliant performances.

                    Before the fight, it would be ahrd to say anyone could get the KO.

                    After, Pac would have done something amazing to get it sicne Clottey kept blocking.

                    Mayweather has bad hands and KO'ing Mosely is pretty much impossible. Althoguh Mosely did get tired, his chin is still top.
