Is Mayweather vs. Mosley the ultimate flip flop in recent boxing history???

Well to be fair, you had to be reaching to predict Mosley would win, or think Floyd wasn't as good as he clearly is.
I could not favour Mosley over Mayweather when he got out boxed 3 years earlier (ok, outboxed is strong) by Miguel Cotto

Nobody spoke like that pre-May/Mosley.

Anyone with half a brain and a little knowledge about boxing could see that Floyd would win and win easy. the second round was the only shock.
I hate to say this but everyone who billed Mosley as a legitimate opponent were either promoting the fight for financial gains or massive Floyd fans.
Just for the record, I think the biggest flip flop in boxing history was Ali v Liston 1. Before the fight they were saying that Ali would get destroyed inside a round or 2. After Liston was schooled and then quit the excuses came thick and fast "Liston was too old" "Liston was injured" "Liston was ring rusty" "Liston hadn't prepared right".
Ali would go on to whoop Liston even quicker the next time round and even more excuses followed that.
