    Apart from that 1 minute of glory in rd 2, Shane looked old and weak to me.

    Shanes still the stronger man but somehow, someway Floyd managed to stay on the attack without getting hurt. This made it seem like Floyd was stronger but I believe Shane is stronger, he just wasnt comfortable enough or fast enough to beat Floyd.

    Floyd proved to be Shane's superior in every single way.

    What do we really mean by stronger though ? Shane is the better puncher thats still clear but is that what you mean. I think maybe Shane might be able to lift more then Floyd but that means nothing in a boxing match. Floyd is the better fighter that much is/was sure last night.

    shane is stronger but his boxing IQ is very weak. I mean Shane hits like a maul but he have to land, after floyd adjusted or to me he shooked off his nerves, he put on a typical mayweather performance.

    Apart from round 2...Mayweather looked the consistently stronger fighter last night. But this may have been down to Mosley not landing on Floyd all that often. I was very impressed how Mayweather was able to stand in front of Mosley all night without being punished. I don't think anyone predicted Mayweather could or would do that...

    I agree. Personally I felt the few times Shane threw a long jab it would land but that **** means nothing when it was few and far between. Had Shane maybe used that consistently he might have one more then 1-2 rounds. Apparently Shane was totally off his gameplan because Nazim made that clear a few times inbetween rounds.

    I would not say floyd is stronger but he is strong enough to hold his own and let shane know he could not be manhandled. I was not at all suprised by floyds performance. If you have followed his whole career then you would have known he has stood in front of punchers before and his chin has been tested before. Shane was surprised that Floyd was that strong. He did say before the fight that he was to much man for floyd.

    Despite all of Mosley's **** talk, Mayweather proved decisively that he's the stronger man.

    Shane is stronger but Floyd knows how to clinch that's all.
