    I personally believe Mosley was washed out before the Mayweather fight. Mosley was coming off the biggest win of his career against a weight drained Margarito. Not to mention before he fought Mayweather, he was inactive for a year and a half.

    Mosley was already in the middle of a training camp for Berto before Andre pulled out. And having to begin a new training camp which most likely lead to over training. Shane looked like he gassed bad against Floyd.

    The Shane that fought Manny was coming off a draw over Mora. First off, I thought Mosley did enough to take it but looked unimpressive. Second, it was a fight at 154 which is a division Mosley is to small to fight in, not to mention Sergio didn't even make weight for that fight.

    Overall, Shane fought 2 different styles against each fighter. Floyd made him look worse because Shane at least tried to fight even though he was doing a bad job while Shane just ran all night against Pacquiao.

      So now Tony was weight-drained

      When Shane was the WBC WW CHAMPION......He called Pac out in his OWN GYM

      "Shane...you're just too good"......Freddy Roach

      Evidently Roach thought Mosley was better..

        The majority of people see the Pacquiao win as god awful.

        Are you blind to this?
        As I've said, Mayweather looked great in his fight with Mosley while Pacquiao didn't. What's so hard to understand about that? I agree with the opinion that Mosley is 1 of Mayweather's best wins above 140, what's your problem with that opinion?

          When Shane was the WBC 147 Champ.....he called Pac out in his own gym.

          The Roach asked if he could make 142....

            No matter how you twist it Floyd fans, the Mosley who fought Floyd and Pac was shot past his prime just like Oscar. The diffrence is Pacauaio was the smaller man.
