    Uhh...no it didn't. It had everything to do with great technique and timing. Bernard Hopkins has one of the better defenses in the sport today - I suppose it's because of his superior speed and athleticism. That's just dumb.

        As long as we are comparing fighters with no resemblance to each other, Roy Jones went an entire round without taking a punch also because of his superior technical skill, also very dumb.

          Manny is there to be hit by straight right hands.

          If Mosley can land punches he reacts much differently to if he can't.

            you're all over the place. If you think Floyd beat Mosley using superior athleticism then carry on, man.

              1. JMM- He’s not a 147 pound fighter and Pac has already established himself comfortably at this weight class it would be a guaranteed beat down if JMM ever fights above 140. As much as I would like to see Pac silence this fool it makes no sense at 147.


              2. Berto- He already gave hints that he’s too green and even if he did go for the bate Pac could end any future potential in this kid.

              3. Floyd- *sigh* This dude is shook that’s about as far as I’m going with that.


              Hell, I wouldn’t mind seeing Pac go on a little vacation himself and re-asses his options before jumping the gun and fighting anyone much less Mosley.
              When did Berto say or even hint this?

                Yea athleticism usually plays a small part in athletics. I got you now. I dont deny Floyds great technical skill, but only an idiot would act as if he superior athleticism didnt also play a part in his success.

                  I still don't think its going to happen.
                  Yeah before he lost badly to to Mayweather and drew with Mora. It's something called timing and chronolgy. This is not 2009 anymore.

                    Well if that's the case then it's all about the technical since Floyd was always superior athletically. But an idiot says something like "he beat him using superior athleticism." The **** fight were you watching?

                      However you want to phrase it, he was coming in with much more positive momentum than he is right now.
