EVERYBODY looks gassed when fighting Floyd! After watching Mosley vs Margarito, Mosley was breathing heavy through his mouth by round 3. The only difference is that he was HITTING Margarito. GO BACK AND WATCH THE FIGHT FIRST BEFORE YOU COMMENT. Judah looked gassed after 3 rounds (but he looks gassed with EVERYBODY). Marquez looked gassed after 3 rounds also.
Have you ever took a long road trip? Notice how you are TIRED after the drive? It's because you're MIND is working while driving. Floyd makes those fighters THINK so much while they're in the ring with him that it drains them. ON TOP of MISSES 75%-85% of the punches they're throwing. Which just ADDS to the MENTAL frustration.
Notice how Mosley had something left in the tank to CHASE Mora around in the 12 round of that fight? But ALSO notice how he's breathing heaving after 3 rounds. In a nutshell it's this.....Fighters get gassed against Mayweather beacause 1). They are MISSING punches 2). They are "thinking" more in the fight than ever before 3). The "mental frustration" of all the MISSING & THINKING.
All of this coupled with the fact that Floyd is throwing a MINIMUM amount of punches himself. So he ALWAYS appears fresh. Almost looking the SAME and the END of a fight as he did in the BEGINNING.
As for Mosley vs Manny.....Mosley has trouble with SPEED and MOVEMENT. Even though Manny doesn't have the greatest defense, his speed and movement is still there. If "allowed" to use them, ESPECIALLY the movement, he'll BLOW RIGHT THROUGH SHANE. Too much speed, too much movement, and let's not forget POWER. But if Shane fights Manny in the manner her fought Margarito, controlling his movement, it'll be a DIFFERENT fight. With Margarito, Mosley did A LOT of holding. Which allowed him to fight inside and "rough up" Margarito. The holding and inside fighting was enough to never let Margarito get in a rhythm. Kinda like Andre Ward did Kessler. Holding just enough to throw of the persons rhythm, but NOT enough for it to be illegal.
Any thoughts?
