Round By Round: Floyd "MONEY" Mayweather Jr vs. "SUGAR" Shane Mosley

You've got to be kidding.
Shots that didn't even drop PBF would have K.O'ed Manny?
What on earth do you base theory that on?
Have you not seen Manny fight in the last couple of decades?

 

Pre possible PED Pac was basically KO'd by a jab for Skinny fuckin Hussien.

 

I can't believe the heights you go to to continue this agenda you have. Your ignoring of the facts and changing of opinions into facts is quite evident. I guess the fact that Mosley is practically 40 has nothing to do with his declined look tonight. He looked every bit as bad against Mayorga. Maybe you can convince us that Mayorga had him take a blood and urine test prefight also.

 

Great performance by Shane. If Manny hurts PBF like that and has 2 minutes to spare, he will KO Floyd. It could happen. I NEED to see that fight.

 

Pacquaio: "Mayweather bigger, stronger, taller, bigger reach than me. I agree to 17 days before fight, blodd, urine test, everything."

Mayweather: "No fight. I want 80-20 split and everyday testing right up to the walkin. No fight. No fight. Please no fight."

 

:boohoo:

 

MWS...you have my sig. It's yours (except sacrilege or blashphemy)

I think Floyd could have stopped him if he landed the big punch late....but he didn't so I eat crow.

I knew Floyd would be the aggressor late in the fight though

 

Not necessarily. Floyd knows how to tie a guy up when hurt. We'd have to see it to believe it, anything else is just opinions.

 

Yeah Floyd was seriously rocked in the 2nd round. I though (UH OH...Tarver Jones 2 all over again)

 

Yep, ILLU wtf seriously? Cotto landed some fucking MEATY shots and Pacquiao walked through them like they were nothing.

Mosley looked his age tonight, looked like a fucking feeble old man with no energy. He actually looked older than Hopkins does these days.

Credit to Floyd, he at least was more aggressive than I expected, and didn't fight like a bitch.

Pacquiao beats him though, I feel more confident about that after this fight. Mosley didn't exactly bring much to the table, Pacman would have fucking WRECKED tonight's Mosley.

I felt kind of sad watching Mosley to be honest. Just looked so old, so listless. I hope Shane retires now, and I also hope Floyd nuts up and fights Manny.

 

Floyd Mayweather is the best boxer in the world right now. Although I do wonder what might have happened had it been the 2000 Mosley instead of today's older version with the bad stamina and inability to pull the trigger. Regardless, Floyd dominated and deserves his accolades.

 

OK sure I'll post your new sig tomorrow.

To be fair though Floyd did fight more aggressively than I anticipated. But I think he could have stopped Shane too if he'd taken more risks, commited more, thrown more combos and more consistent power shots. More aggressive for Floyd, but still too safety first to get the KO win.

 

Anyone have the official scores?

 

Yep.Floyd didn't show me anything to convince me he can hang with Pacquiao...And he was lucky Mosley wasn't ten year younger tonight.

 

He didn't look like a 40 year old in his last fight, he looked spectacular, full of energy and vigor, great workrate too. Lib four Lib,.. doesn't it piss you off, as a boxing fan, that Shane continues to deny his ped use, despite being irrepairably exposed?... it should, and it does with me. Yes you are also correct, I do have an agenda,.. the USADA clause has been retained,.. and that's more important than Fraud's victories, I dont give a shit, his wins are small fry compared to this reform I'm concerntrating on, he can go through undefeated till he's 40 years of age, my concerntration will be on the clause, not on his career, his legacy or his accumulating wealth.

 

Agreed. I had no idea that Shane only had 2 rounds of stamina. I can't believe how tired he got so quickly. A lot of shimmering, a lot of bouncing and no substance. Disappointing. It was almost as bad as the Tyson from the McBride fight. Still, Floyd won the fight easily and I give him his credit for sure.

 

One thing I found interesting is Floyd didn't even pretend he wasn't hurt when Larry asked him about it.

He covered up well and Shane couldn't capitalise, but he was proper fucking hurt then, his legs went.

 

I'm just shocked that round 2 was the end of Mosley's stamina. He got badly old overnight. How could he have gassed out so quickly? He didn't even throw anything in the 3rd round when Mayweather was still in defensive mode. Shane couldn't even put 2 punches together. No matter, he retires with lots of millions now and Floyd gets another feather in the cap.

 

The Manny of the Clottey fight takes out tonights version of Mayweather early

 

Floyd was actually being a normal human in the interview. Everything he said was concise and respectful. Not that usual fuckin trash he likes to throw off.

 

Just saying, Cotto isn't really a powerful puncher, Margarito walked through him all night, and Mosley KTFO him. Not a good trend when multiple fighters take your punch like it's nothing. Mosely is undoubtedly the harder puncher.

 

Nah.

 

you mayweather haters are ridiculous.

he just beat up mosley for 12 rounds. as per usual, mayweather hardly lost more than a round.

 

I hope Shane comes out and talks about how his back got too tight::

 

I've never seen a fighter gas out after 2 rounds. Especially somebody with the conditioning of Mosley. I guess age 38 was exactly what it sounded like.

 

He was badly hurt I thought. He reacted really well.

 

I think PBF could have stopped Shane tonight if he had more killer instinct, but then again, he wouldn't be the same Floyd then, would he?

Good performance. Went as expected, except I was a little surprised @ how big and strong PBF looked. He's definately a fully fledged WW.

He would be bigger & stronger in the ring than Pac-Man, but the Mosley of tonight wouldn't have seen the final bell against Manny.

PBF certainly doesn't want to lose focus against Manny like he did in the 2nd against SSM ...

 

Mosley didn't gas. His mouth wasn't even open. He got schooled. He was out of his rhythm after round 2 and never got back on the offensive. That's why he was landing in the first place.

Floyd did some subtle adjustments and came forward, which threw Shane off. I'm pretty sure Shane expected a backpedaling PBF, not one who stood in arms length. He should have thrown much more.

 

Or he had to change his 'diet' for USADA testing. Possible, possible.

 

I think Mosley gased by the 2nd round because Mayweather STARTED the fight a she would normally the 9. FLATfooted and in front of Mosley. Got hairy there for a moment, but he recooped and fought through it. It was Mosley who was done after that.

Didn't they think Mayweather could have switched gears from round 1??
