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

[pbftxrs316]

Had Floyd not hung on like he did, he would have gotten dropped. Floyd played it safe and it paid off. Had he tried to trade, he would likely have an l on his record now.

yes, maybe, but why would he trade anyway? what he did was smart-- he never lost his balance--even while trying to duck the 2nd punch by shane--shane was throwing punches at floyd after he landed the first shot and they were being blocked easily--he just timed floyd's left hook perfectly with the 2nd shot, and floyd threw the shot while trying to throw it and then immediately duck the returning shot by shane but didn't do it fast enough--shane had his eyes closed once again throwing it-lol

it was a well timed shot buy shane--when floyd clinched and grabbed shane--he looked stronger than shane--shane couldn't really do anything after the first shot--he looked confused until he slowed down and got his composure back to land that 2nd shot--that was a great call by shane, but floyd is stronger than you think--it was also a shot to his temple which is much worst imo than the chin or the cheek or the jaw---and floyd didn't see it comingn fast enough to avoid it--great shots by shane, but not good enough--floyd knew what to do right away--

Here is an angle of the 2nd Punch that is never really shown, within seconds Mayweather smiles and shakes his head. People exaggerate how hurt he was.

(0:40)

Thank you for also pointing that out, I did notice that too. And I'm glad some people here agree with me. And some seem to misunderstand my thread, I'm not trying to downplay anything especially not his heart. Floyd is obviously my favorite fighter but I'm not going to sit here and say he was almost KO'd and came back somehow. That 2nd round is more of a testament to Floyd's awesome composure than anything. The guy might be another thing outside that ring, but inside he's ****ing Dr Manhattan from Watchmen. The guy is a genius and his only focus is to win, just watch the Floyd-Zab fight in the 10 round to see how good of a composure Floyd has. The guy has only goal and that's to win inside that ring.

Pretty Boy grabbed the arm of Shane Mosley, a clear sign that indeed he got wobbled! I was wondering if it was Pacman unleasing his combos with great speed, then, for sure there could be a Knock downs!

[BennyST]

these days, if you get even slightly wobbled, you were "almost ko'd"

Froch got wobbled slightly by Dirrell in their fight and according to some on here was one step away from being put in a coma

Im a diehard Floyd fan and he was hurt bigtime.

Nah, not really. Big time is not being able to come back and win the rest of the round straight after. Being hurt big time, without getting knocked down, is losing the whole round badly, plus maybe the next couple cause you're still out of it etc. Floyd was briefly wobbled, came straight back and won the rest of the round. It's just such a juxtaposition to his usual thing of hardly even being hit, let alone hurt.

Mosley was hurt big time against Forrest. That's being hurt big time.

wifebeater was holding on for dear life. if he didn't put mosley in an armbar he'd have been KTFO

[pbftxrs316]

once again pullcounter comes in and gives his 2 cent insight--which consists of nothing more than false logic and bull**** insults-nothing of merit--welcome back foolcounter--lol

_original_ you're obviously some ****ing nerd who worships Floyd. He got stunned/dazed and looked dishevelled, let his defences down for a few seconds. Definately was in big danger.

[THE REED]

Floyd held on for his life for a reason.
