    When people were saying that, people were not thinking that Mosley would have to be turning 39 years old and not have fought for ~1.5 years before Floyd steps into the ring with him. Even Mosley said that before Floyd finally said OK.

    Floyd fought a rusty as nails Mosley. Makes it a lot worse at that age.


    Floyd was interviewed prior to the fight and said that his game plan will certainly take into account Mosley's age and so on ....

    If I remember correctly, they did a Face/OFF.
    Floyd even told Mosley to his face to not use age (being old) as an excuse when he loses ..... but it was the truth and Floyd said it because he knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    When the fight started, HBO commentators were saying that there is something wrong with Mosley.

    After about 5 - 6 rounds even Mosley's trainer was saying it while Mosley was gasping for air and out of it.

          Don't think anyone's ever said Floyd's era was weak, just his resume. He didn't manage to fight any of "the" guys at the top.

            Really no more has to be said after this, but Shane was old.
