Can we put an end to "Mosley almost KO'd Floyd in the 2nd round"

[deanrw]

Floyd let his guard down and yes he was a little hurt but he showed that he is a true champion and handled his business well. That was the only good punch Mosley landed. Not hating on Mosley, it think he was a great fighter, it's just too bad that he's fighting Pac at this stage of his career.

Yup, He lost his legs for a quick second but never lost his head. He stayed composed through it all.

Floyd claimed after the fight that Demarcus Corley and Zab Judah hurt him worse.

WOW....some dudes just like to complicate things for whatever reason ...Floyd WAS hurt and he WAS in trouble....whenever a SMART fighter is hurt or in trouble...he will grab, hold and clinch....after Shane shot that missile across his chin...what did Money do?!?....ok then!!

[Pacquiao'd]

He was definitely hurt. Once you get hit by a big shot like that you're in critical condition and it's easy to get clobbered with another big shot right after which will either send you down or cause a stoppage

If Floyed didn't have a big heart he would have been in big trouble. He played it smart cause he grabbed msoley right away and didn't allow him to land anything significant.

*******s will hate you for saying this

sounds like something uncle rogers would say ha

No we can't put an end to it, because it's true. If Mosley had landed another big shot like the couple he landed, Mayweather was gone. As it was, he just managed to hang on.

Amir Khan was hurt bad. Floyd was buzzed

[clubpunch]

No ****... mosley landed a few good shots, thats what he's supposed to do. He won two rounds 2 out of 12..

After re watching the fight countless time, I have concluded that Floyd was in no way, shape, or form about to be knocked out. Stunned? Yes. Wobbled? Sure. It just really irks me to hear such comments as "Mosley almost knocked Floyd out" or "Floyd was about to be KO'd". In reality, Floyd was momentarily stunned twice but his body language clearly indicates he was in no serious danger. At the time I even felt like he was close to getting stopped, but that was just the initial shock of seeing Floyd getting connected so cleanly with such hard shots. It's also worth noting that Floyd was not close to getting knocked down so to say he was on the verge of getting KO'd is ridiculous. Floyd even countered with some nice shots in the mist of it all and was conscious enough break up Shane's momentum.

You speak the total truth, and I also find comments suggesting that Floyd was almost KO'd absurd. He got caught hard, he lost his legs and was in danger of being knocked down, but he was far from out on his feet. Someone that was 'almost KO'd' doesn't fight back and defend himself that well just mere seconds after being stunned. In the center of the ring at that. People want to exaggerate since that is the worst moment anyone can reference in his whole career.
