I have seen the fight more than 10 times.. Shane quit.
He didnt set anymore punches.
He was actually getting beat off the break.
and ****m had to tell him Floyd is catching you off the break...

Shane just basically fought to survive after the 3rd round.
No kind of warrior sprit. NO Risk Taking, Just feinting, and Complaining.

I own this fight. he didn't quit...he just couldn't do nothing. he couldn't set nothing up, Floyd was 3 steps ahead. Floyd was just dominant in all aspects. u right floyd was beating him to the punch. But if you go back and look at the breaks, Mosley punched much more ferociously after the break. He acted like that was ticket to the win.

i mean really what was shane doing 1st and 2nd rd that he didn't try in rds 3 thru 9?? i agree that he quit trying to box with him and was loading up, but he didn't quit trying to catch Floyd imo.

they guy is the complete package. I think vivek wallace said it best when he said that Floyd was like plumber with a bunch tools and he uses certain tools when he has too.

People complain about floyd not throwing much but why when you don't have too. He always adapts accordingly, the game plan is whatever will give him the win. He like the triangle offense of the lakers or something.

Just look at dawson for example....he kept doing what he was doing until it was too late. if that was floyd he would have sensed that he needed to step it up in the midrounds and took control of that fight! That is the difference between a good fighter and a great fighter.

You brought up the lakers. Floyd offense, if this was the NBA, would be described as efficient. When he throws he connects about half the time. He doesn't waste punches and doesn't throw poor ones in addition to not getting hit too much. I'm sure this helps his stamina significantly

IMO after rd 9 shane decided "**** it at least I wont let this arrogant mother****er get the joy of knocking me out." he quity and fought not to get KO'd

Cortdawg my dude, when I say he quit.
I dont mean he quit trying to throw punches, I mean he quit trying to win.

If you are trying to win a fight against Mayweather how do you allow yourself to get outworked by a fighter WHO averages 30 punches a round?

If you are trying to win a fight against Mayweather how do you allow yourself
to not COMMIT to any type of body attack?

If you are trying to win a fight against Mayweather how do you allow yourself
to feint with the best feinter in the sport in the past era?

QUIT= Abanding all efforts of winning
Survive = Do just enough not to get Knocked Out,

Shane QUIT!

QUIT: to stop trying, struggling, or the like; accept or acknowledge defeat.

efficient, sufficient...both of those would fit. the way he adapts in fights. i'm really starting to think he doesn't game plan. i know he always say that but i had my doubts. But I'm starting to believe it. what you think about that?

[FeFist]

Actually he didnt. I dont recall him making any attempts at throwing a meaningful power punch after round 2.

He tried going to the body and coming up with the same punch that had Floyd shook in round two. Only Floyd successfully rolled the punch and countered him.

It's like people only acknowledge a power punch if it lands.

God protected the Black Jesus! God saw that his son was introuble turned shyt around.
Thank you, God, or else I would've lost $1000.

Floyd "Black Jesus" Mayweather is The Greatest Fighter of ALL Time.


Can't wait for your return Black Jesus!!!!!!

I feel u. I understand your perspective, but i don't feel like Mosley acknowledged defeat. I believe he stopped trying somethings that whatn't working. i believe he was struggling and being dominated. But he never accepted defeat. To me it looked like he was trying to catch Floyd on the break because that was the only window he could see the win. I don't see that as quitting.

Oliver MCall quit against Lewis, Duran quit against SRL.... Tsyzu quit against hatton and cotto quit against margarito. That's my definition of quitting. Mosley ain't got no quit in him!!! Now i know you not feeling Mosley like that with all the PEDs and what not. So he maybe a cheater but he ain't no quitter.

but u make a point with the questions u raised. he made know real body attack the whole fight..partly because floyd was countering him with lead hooks and straight right leads

I was rewatching the fight the other day, and I still have a hard time understanding what happened to Shane after round 2. How do u nearly decapitate your opponent in the second round, then forget how to fight there on after. Yes Floyd made adjustments, but not to the extent where Mosley should have completely stopped throwing punches the way he did.

What is your take on what happened?

I would think those body shots that May hit him with shortly after had something to do with it
