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

[beez721]

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?

I still say a young prime mosely would have eaten mayweather alive. too much pressure

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

Floyd made him age overnight.

come on dude. I dont care what he was ranked. he was obviously on the other side of the hill and couldnt fight at a brisk pace like he used to and wasnt nearly as fast

[MRCHOKEaMF]

These guys claim Floyd was nearly ko'd and held on for dear life, we see the footage and see all of that is a lie. these guys exaggerate everything about
Floyd: Pac turned down the fight flat out they said at first he didnt then we find out he did and somehow Floyd was ducking lol, Arum said he needed to build a stadium, somehow Floyd was ducking, Roach said the reason the fight didnt happen is because of Arum yet somehow Floyd was ducking, Pacs former promoter said specifically he intentionally kept Manny from Floyd cause he feared he's beat the hell outta Manny, yet it was Floyd ducking, lol. And you wonder why you guys seem incredibly ****** to others.

Does that mean a young prime Mayweather as well?

Also I thought the shot he took from Chop Chop was way better

Oscar's Ring Magazine does not constitute a general consensus.

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.

How does it feel to go through life in complete ignorance? Pretty good I'd imagine.

I am not a Floyd fan.
I too like everyone else would love to see him and Manny finally get it on.

But lets be real here. That 2nd round is by far the biggest exaggeration of a guy getting hit clean I have ever seen.
If you look at the footage 20 seconds after Floyd got hit, he's walking forward to Mosley. By the end of the round you could see that Floyd has taken control of the fight again.

People like Dan Rafael were going nuts, saying it was a 10-8 round for Mosley which is completely nuts.

It was a good hit, caught him clean, hurt him a bit, but it wasn't close to a knock out.

[V.WEBB]

Two punches.

We talking about two punches.

Not a whole fight, but two punches.

Floyd got hit with two Flush punches I think would had knocked out every except JMM. Mayweather chin and defense is the best in boxing that's why he was able to withstand that and Mayweather willed his legs after that second shot.. Mosley hit Mayweather with a flush counter to the back of the head and May didn't see it.. No way any other fighter survive that. Mayweather tired Mosley out by tangling his arms an throwing harp uppercuts t the stomach no give credit for that.. No other fighter will had been able to be in that situation and correctly deduce what needed to be done.

Them fighters you listed been knocked out and that was knock out blow..

really..no other fighter right now could take that. I could list tons, cotto, pacqiuao, lucas, marquez, bradley, ruslan, rios, alvarado, danny garcia, maidana, ect.. Those shots werent that amazing, they could hurt a lot of fighters but a lot of fighters can recover from it as well. Now if you are talking about that famous uppercut that vitali took then you would have an argument, but those were just three clean shots, nice punches, but they should have been followed up. Floyd is not the only one in history to recover from being hurt lol

How the hell can you call something a near KO when the fighter in question never went down and was never out on his feet? Mosley landed two punches that stunned Mayweather. That was all he landed the entire fight. Floyd won the second half of the round. There was no near KO.
