    Mosley is far past his prime for sure, but I wouldn't just dismiss him as an old man, and therefore not a challenge. And while Mosley had a lot going against him..... age, inactivity, etc,. he was still a live dog in the ring. Mayweather might not get the same type of credit had he beaten a prime Mosley, but he deserves some credit for dominating a dangerous opponent.

    PS- I would also say that we saw some things from Mayweather we hadnt seen in a while. We saw some grit from Mayweather last nite, something he has been criticized for not having. He showed he has a good chin and the ability to keep his cool and recover when hurt. He also went on offense more, which was good to see. I'd like to see more of it.

    When, and at what weight class was Pacquiao when he said it? (Honest question)

    Shane nearing 40 is too old. You can't deny that. If Pac beat Shane, I'm sure you would also not give credit to him.

    I think it was probably a mistake for Shane to fight with his dentures in.

    Yeah we know.

    Before the fight:

    - Floyd was FORCED to fight Mosley.
    - Floyd is going ride his bicycle against Mosley
    - Mosley's speed and power is better than Floyd's
    - Pac-Mosley is a better fight than Pac-Mayweather
    ...

    After the fight

    - told you Shane was old

    Too bad search is disabled because I can prove many of the posters here contradict themselves

    If that would even be Molsey from margarito fight, the one who could
    throw his hands for the 12 rounds then we would see round #2 for the whole fight.

    Not just old. Shot.

    Hopkins is old, but he's not shot.

    Mosley is old, and he's shot. That's what really takes the shine off of this performance.

    Manny has made his career off of beating old, drained, and shot fighters. FACT!

    I'm sorry. You must've misread the thread title. This here thread's about Mr. Money Mayweather.

    So did Pacquiao vs DLH.

    So did Calzaghe vs Jones.

    They still got credit though. And Mosley is much more competitive now than DLH or Jones were when they got beat by Pac and Calz respectively.
