      People often say SSM wasn't at his prime for Mayweather but if you look at his record and performances, he was shítting on cats.

      Knocked Margarito out cold in the fight before Mayweather.

      Snuffed Mayorga before Margarito.

      I thought he got robbed against Cotto. I had Shane winning by a slim margin, but still clearly winning.

      Dominated Collazo.

      Pretty much ended Vargas' career.

      Where is it because I objectively can't see it --- so what do y'all think and why?
      This is the definition of a boxrec warrior..



      Mosely got wrecked twice by Vernon Forrest.

      Then went to 154 for a cashout fight vs de la Hoya and got a very controversial decision

      Then he got owned twice by winky wright


      Then he stopped twice a completely shot Vargas

      Then he got outpointed by cotto..


      Then margarito got caught with plaster and walked face first into Shane's bombs as power is the last thing to go..

      Then he fought Floyd..

      a guy that was basically 1-6 vs elite fighters the 8 years prior, was not "shytting" on anyone

        I watched Mosleys pro debut and watched 95% of his fights live. Hardly a boxrec warrior. After seeing 7k+ fights I need boxrec as a reminder. Sorry I have a human brain.

So he either plateaued his training for most of his camp for Floyd, or over-trained. Either way, pretty devastating for a 39 year old going into a fight of Floyd's caliber and it showed
        Shane started pro @ 22+ so shave 4-5 years off 39.

        But, that doesn't change the optics of the situation. It only gives the many critics their, "Ah ha! I told you!"
        And, fuels this nauseating fire that's been burning for years now. Surely you can see that.
        Haters are going to hate, I know that much. I don't think fighting a soft touch for your last fight is a bad look. I have no problem with the Berto fight. Floyd did everything he was asked to do time and time again.

            Everyone knows Mosley was coming off his best career win when Mayweather fought him, prime or not.

            Anyone who says otherwise is a hater.

                  I'll tell you when the Mayweather fight and thats because he wasn't allowed to use his steroids because he was tested through out camp but the funny thing is Floyd was juiced you recall how Emmanual Stewart stated how he doesn't under stand How Mosley the stronger fighter is weak Floyd looks like the stronger fighter. Just makes no sense he said
