What complete and utter bull****.
Mosley wasn't gassed, he became hesitant because of Floyd's fast hands and quick, accurate counters.
When he did take the risk to throw after the 2nd, he'd hit air and/or gloves and get hit with a counter shot. Let alone the fact that he's 38 and had been on a 15 month layoff. Long layoffs are notoriously bad for old fighters as it ****s with their timing and stamina.
Go to your local boxing gym and face a good counter puncher. You might see what you do when you're constantly getting or threatened with getting hit with a counter. Remember that Mosley is a man and punches from a quick "pillow puncher" pressing the fight might not be all that appetizing.Comment

I wouldn't be surprised if it was fixed. How the hell Mosley did not finish Floyd when he was able to go all out on Marg is what really make people question this fight. But then again that was two years prior to the fight with Floyd. It is possible that Mosley could've easily have gone downhill since then, not to mention that he was 39yrs old. But i'll give Floyd the benefit of the doubt, which is shocking for me to say, but i just don't think that Floyd would stoop that low. Ellerbe on the other hand, Floyd's secret lover, would stoop that low for Floyd, figuratively and literally.Comment

Yes the fight was fixed just like all of Mayweathers fights. In fact thats why he is still undefeated smh.
For the people that say that the fight was fixed because Shane cheated by using PEDs in the past. All that proves is that Shane would do anything to WIN not Lose and actually hurts your dumb logic of him throwing the fight because he has proven in the past that he is willing to go above and beyond and do anything to win a fight not lose one lol.Comment

At first i thought mosley was just gassed out after round 2 that's why he stop throwing his punches but after I watched this fight again and focused in round 2 yeah it was strange that after mosley hit floyd and almost knock him down u could see shane suddenly get scared, yeah u r right that it seems like this fight is a fix and shane knocking out floyd would have **** up their plan. Maybe mosley doesn't want to throw those punches anymore because he knew that he could knock out floyd and the fight with pac will be ruined.
When I first joined B/R as contributor last May, my first article was about the May 1 fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley.
In my first article entitled "Questions on Mosley's Second Round Assault on Mayweather, Jr," I dealt with the reasons why Shane Mosley was not able to sustain his attack on Mayweather when it was so clear that the undefeated boxer lost his senses after being hit hard by Mosley in the second round:
"Boxing analysts are saying Mosley could have finished Mayweather in the second round of their fight. It was evident that Mayweather was hurt real bad in the round that 'just a little more effort' could have ended the bout in favor of Mosley via KO.
But the real question is why did Mosley 'held on'? It was quite clear from any angle that Mosley had his punching power and senses working for him in that round and even an amateur boxer would tell you it was a won fight in favor of Mosley".
I thought it was appropriate to revisit the Mosley-Mayweather fight after some B/R writers and commenter shifted their discussion on the second round assault that almost floored the undefeated boxer.
Niel de la Cruz, a very active commenter in our boxing community, said in one of his comments:
"I felt that it was fixed. If you'll watch the fight again, Mosley looked worried after hitting Floyd that almost knocked the latter down (it's like he realized that he was not following orders). After that shot, Mosley changed- from a fast strong fisted guy to slow, out-of-focused boxer. Mosley's foot work & defense changed after just two rounds.
"It's ****** to assume that Floyd's change of strategy made all the difference from 3rd to last round since one must focus also on Mosley's negative performance transition that gave Floyd a walk in the cloud 3rd to 12 round".
In the first round, Mayweather failed to land a single power punch or a combination of punches that could have weakened Mosley and justified his failure to finish Mayweather in that round.
In the second, Mayweather was clearly out of his senses.
Mosley, however, was fresh and very dangerous in the first and second rounds.
Niel continues his theory:
"My conspiracy theory: It's a fact that Floyd and Mosley were acquaintances, as they played basketball together. Floyd was accused of ducking Mosley and cherry picking his fights. On the other hand, Mosley was desperate for a fight (almost 2 years that he was not getting any payday). And Floyd was desperate to prove something.
"The one year vacation of Floyd (which he had time playing basketball with Mosley) premeditated Floyd's comeback fights (Marquez taking up to welterweight as warm up fight & a fixed fight with Mosley)."
Other commenters have sided with Niel's explanation while some members of the community disagreed.
Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao, when asked about Mosley's devastating second-round attack, didn't understand the boxer's change in attack.
“I saw that, I did,” Pacquiao said. “If I can hit Mayweather like that, I will finish him off. I would continue the attack in a way that Mosley did not. I will attack until Mayweather is gone.”
Niel offers a test for his theory:
"We know what Mosley did to Margarito. He never got tired. One possible gauge will be Mosley's fight with Mora. I'm sure you'll see a non-stop action packed fight that Mosley is known for. Very different to his fight with Floyd."
So, was the fight fixed?
Niel's theory shows it may have been.

I agree with the ts that this fight is a fix for a set up with a bigger fight against pac, but GBP plan was still **** up because floyd will not step in the ring with pac.

At first the "Fraud" was scared to fight Shane.
Now that he dominated him, the fight was "fixed"?
