    I think the Mosley right hands were worse because they happened twice, and Mayweather had to spend the majority of the round recovering.

      Floyd had it worse.

      He got hit so hard his legs were gone, had to hang on to Mosley to prevent from getting dropped. Then he got hit flush again. He looked like he was one or two more shots away from getting knocked out.

      Ward was hurt, but wasn't nearly as much trouble as Floyd and he recovered faster.

      Floyd could have had a 10-8 round, even without hitting the canvas.

        Ward was fighting a primed killer. Floyd was fighting a shot Mosley, 1 year removed from the ring and he took away his steroids, Mosley was suffering withdrawl symptoms and gassed in the second round.

          Against Margarito was the last time Mosley was able to use his steroids, that's why he looked so good and beat him. Against Floyd he had to do USADA testing which is why he gassed and looked like ****.

            Not dis*****g whether Shane was in his prime or not. This is about who out of Floyd and Ward had a worse 2nd round and made a better recovery/technical adjustment. Looks like more and more people agree that Floyd had it worse.

              WEll It goes to Ward. Kovalev white washed him in punches landed. 11-0 Kovalev. Then the knock down.

                  Mosley was rated #3 P4P.

                    Have to agree with this.

                      Also who made the better recovery in the next round?

                      In closing this is what really separates a very good fighter from a great one imo. Both Andre and Floyd never allowed those same right-hands to land again. Compare that to Pac against Marquez in their last fight and you see the difference from a technical point of view.
                      Ward was hit with power jabs and right hands in round 5 and 6 and then again in the 8th.

                      Floyd however did do what you said.
