    Shane's near KO of Floyd in RD2...

    The more I think about it, the more impressed I am with the adjustment's Floyd made by the final moments of RD 2 of his fight with Mosley.

    We all remember how Shane drilled Floyd at least twice at full power and we all remember Floyd's legs turning to jelly and him reaching out to clutch. Anyway...

    How many welters in today's crop could've made the winning adjustment Floyd did and survive those specific shots from that specific fight? Canelo? Maidana? Broner? Zab? Manny? Marquez? Bradley? Khan?

    Anyone think a few of these guys would've kissed the canvas from those shots?

      No question maidana would fold but he would get off the deck as he always does. The others would go down but get up too. Only zab doesn't have the stones to fight on from that shot.

        floyd's "adjustment" was more to do with shane being 40 yrs old. Had shane been 3-4 yrs younger (when floyd was ducking him), floyd would not have seen the 3rd round that night.

            Sugar Shane was the consensus P4P number 3 fighter in the world.

            Floyd made him age overnight.

              This right here, Floyd Handle it like a G, He did put the jaws of life lock on Shane after that shot but then he regained and came back like a champ.

                  He landed some compact shots in the second after getting rocked that went unnoticed. One left hook counter backed Shane off pretty much for the rest of the fight.
