    I was moar nervous about Floyd fighting Shane than anyone else due to the longer reach coupled up with the hardest one shot power in the division.

    Shane Mosley is still one hell of a fighter, so I was expecting him to surprise us once early on before $ took the rest of the rounds.

    I knew a knockout wasn't going to happen, but I did expect a KD to happen with how shaky Floyd looked. Mayweather isn't the type of fighter to get knocked out. If he has to take a knock down or shell up defensively to survive and adjust he will.

    I feel you on this homie. When Floyd fights, as a black man, I want him to win because I know that his race coupled with how he behaves causes a lot of people to unfairly try and discredit and criticize him, while they conveniently ignore all of the good, positive, and respecful things that Floyd does.

    Lol. I imagined many Floyd fans having the same reaction. To me it didn't matter who won that night. If Shane had won then we get a great action fight between him and Pac. Floyd winning doesn't necessarily guarantee fireworks with Pac but the anticipation for them to get into the ring is great for the sport of Boxing. Even women in their mid 50's are talking about it and that is amazing to hear.

    I actually thought Floyd's knee touched the canvas when Shane hit him with the second bomb. At that point Floyd looked weak as hell and I pretty much assumed Shane would finish him off. I remember thinking to myself, "Wow, the Floyd haters are going to have a masturbation parade all year long."

    I wanted to pinch myself to make sure Floyd was actually losing. I knew it was possible but just didn't seem real when it was happening. And then when the tide turned, I thought to myself, "Oh, I see. Consider that a warning for Floyd to keep his hands up high."

    the second right had me draw the breath in quick, the first right even though it was full extension floyd seem to be in a good position for it and handled it quite well. With the second short right and the leg buckled, floyds ability to regain composure that quickly close the distance showed true champion qualities in my humble eyes

    When he got drilled I thought his knee hit and I thought, oh **** the ref missed that and now he is gonna get flattened. But like he always has, he kept focus and composure. I always get nerves before a big fight, and even more so when I like both fighters.

    Before the fight I thought, is this gonna be like what happened to Roy Jones? I always though Floyd had way more skills as far as boxing, but I really thought about it for a few seconds in the 2nd round.

    Don't get to me wrong, I have nothing but respect for Floyd's boxing ability and ring genius, but to be honest, I was rooting(hoping) for Mosley to win by KO/TKO. When I saw the 2nd right hand landed, though, I felt like I had just seen a ghost or something surreal. My heart sank and I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Then after Floyd quickly recovered and started dominating again, I was rooting for a Mosley KO again. :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I think Floyd is just so good, some people such as myself get a rush out of seeing who'll be the mythological creature that can actually take Floyd's 0, but deep down we really are all impressed with the man's abilities. :good
