Your opinions on Mayweather now?

That's fine, I don't accept for one moment that Mayweather's offense was the reason Mosley threw maybe 2-3 right hands from round 3 through 12.

 

Mosley was all over the place. Twitchy, constant feinting, getting countered over his jab - no wonder he tired so quickly. Mosley burnt a lot of nervous energy and looked very tight.

Mayweather was awesome. Just saw he landed 44% of 477 punches thrown, incredible.

 

He didn't throw too many with conviction, certainly nothing like he had done in rounds 1 and 2. One missed by an inch in the opening session, and the two that landed in the second round almost had Mayweather on ***** street.

Great performance from Floyd, it's not changed my views on him quite like Pacquiao/Hatton did.

 

Mosley has a history of clamming up and choking when he is getting the play taken away from him and repeatedly countered.

Hell, the Forrest fight was enough to **** him up mentally for the rest of his career.The conviction in his style dropped by a good 30 to 40 percent after that fight.

Mosley has heart, but he's always been a frontrunner with it.

 

I agree with you on this macca. Mosely wasnt throwing because he knew he would get double in return, hence the befuddled expression on his face for the majority of the fight, because, I dont like to say it, he didnt have a clue on what to do in there. Shane just couldnt out think Floyd, threw a limited array of shots, and when he became less effective with them, his output dropped. He seemed tense as hell also, but credit must go to Floyd for causing Mosley to react in this way, no doubt if it was Margo in there again, Mosley would have looked a million dollars, but Floyd posed too many problems for Shane, in effect, he made Shane look limited and passive. Great performance in my opinion from Floyd

 

What is your explanation for Mosley being tired so early? Even Marquez threw shots knowing he would be countered, and so did Hatton, but Mosley wouldn't? ...Hmm, again, doesn't ring true for me.

 

Well, a brawler will always end up frustrated if they're starved of opportunities. And I think he was probably seeing stars for the rest of the Forrest fight more than anything.

I'm pretty sure he was confident coming in, at least. I mean, he believed in himself enough to take rematches with Forrest and Winky, and he's still around at age 38.

 

Hatton is a bull, he was always going to be flying forward with little heed for what was coming the other way. Marquez didn't take the lead an awful lot; how could he? Not more than Mosley anyway.

 

Mosley was tight and scared of getting countered.

And as Nazim said in the corner, 'you're looking for the perfect punch, stop it, stop waiting for spots to throw, you've got to punch with him'

 

Marquez certainly tried harder and threw more shots than Mosley.

 

Well, Im sure Mosely put a big effort into the second round, and not fighting in over a year is only to his detriment, Mosely also seemed extremely tense, so was he tired? possibly, but not gassed. And as for him not throwing punches, not sure what Marquez and Hatton has to do with it, but Shane seemed unwilling to throw unless he was sure he landed, and as for him trying to get that one big shot in which was what he seemed to be doing, well, that was his mistake, which seemed to make him even more reluctant to throw, even naz picked up on that.
