    Wait, so Mosley obviously couldn't get to guys like Forrest, and Wright, and got beat up worse in both fights combined....yet somehow he will never be the same? It makes no sense.

    Mosley was gone by the end of the second round. A round which Mayweather hadn't landed one significant punch. You must admit that it had nothing to do with Mayweather besides the fact that Mosley really really wanted to beat him.

    However, how do you guys think Mayweather deals with a guy like Mosley in the beginning of the second round? Better yet, that wasn't even Mosley then.

    The two punches Mosley landed in the second round resembled a man who just treaded waters for two hours and went up for his last two breaths of air

No different than when a fighter is hit with something hard, thats pain, the body sends a signal to the mind that we dont like that feeling, its up the fighter to overcome that and say, so what, Im going to get this done by any means necessary.

      When Shane got countered, when he got hit with shots he didnt see coming, when he got hit with shots he knew was coming but couldnt get out of the way of, he started to shut down, after seeing things he tried wasnt working he eventually went into survival mode and was happy to go the distance.
      The man knows what he is talking about. Mosley wasn't gassed out he simply for the first time in his career was the slower man in the ring and he didn't know what to do. Add to that he hit Mayweather with two BOMBS and while he buckled Mayweather he didn't put him down I'm sure that took some mental game out of him too.
