Do you think Floyd deserves full credit for his win over Mosley?

I say Yes. And I'm not a Floyd nuthugger either. Just my unbiased opinion.

Mosley obviously wasn't in his prime, but Mosley was still a p4p "world" champion, and a legit WelterWeight with serious power.

If you say no, and you can contain yourself by posting a legit not ******* answer, please tell me how can you honestly not give Floyd credit for completely outboxing Sugar?

 

I give him alot of credit for that victory. TBH I expected 8-4 or 9-3 but he won 10-2 or 11-1 so that was very impressive and I gotta admit he is even better than I thought. "Full credit" though is what I gave Vernon Forrest.

 

It was pretty obvious that Mosley wasn't the same guy he once was that night. Not fighting back, allowing PBF to back him up all night, looking all jittery and out of sorts...

...with that being said, I think PBF would have beaten even a prime SSM, so yes, he deserves full credit for the win, if for nothing else, because he won in a fashion nobody expected him to. Instead of backing up and pot-shotting all night, he brought the fight to Shane, and had he been a bit more aggressive, he would have gotten a KO.

 

Mosley was old and didn't train for the fight, he was also blood-drained.

 

Yep he deserves credit, but Mosley was clearly past it and showing his age. I think prime Shane would have starched Floyd that night, but you gotta give Floyd credit anyway for fighting him and beating him the way he did.

 

I say yes, he legitimately beat over the hill/shot Mosley,
but I don't see reason why Floyd shouldn't get full credit for that?

Floyd shown big skills, and determination overcoming his shaking
legs and weak chin in round 2, and give us the perfect performance
in the rest of the fight. Great overall performance from Floyd.

True Mosley was shot and blood drained but Floyd shown
more than we have expected from him.

 

To all you clowns saying Mosley was "past it" please explain why Pac DUCKED him? You can't. You won't.

Mosley was a reigning WW champion and scheduled to grab another title in a fight he was FAVORED (IMHO) to win. He was damned game, though not 100% prime. You guys also forget the fact that Mayweather has called him out NUMEROUS times previously only to have Mosley duck!

Nobody is saying that Mosley was 100%, but no way in hell that Mosley gets over 5 rounds even on his BEST day.

 

even after seeing his performance against Floyd, I still feel he would've knocked Berto the f/uck out, back in January

 

You're asking why Pac didn't' fight Mosley in his second fight at welter? I think you can answer that yourself. Floyd had been at welterweight for 5 years and he just got around to fighting a legit top welter.

Mosley not being 100% prime is an understatement. He was clearly way past it. His speed was diminished, and his reflexes and boxing instincts were gone. There was already enough evidence of that in several of his prior fights. That doesn't mean Floyd doesn't get credit, but that fight doesn't say much of anything about a prime for prime matchup between the two.

 

oh and yes, full credit....

regardless of his age, the majority of fighters in the WW division would not have made Mosley look as old/bad as he looked in that fight

 

Yes, because he stepped up to the plate and fought Mosley.

 

I wonder if this term will dissappear when the *******s God takes the test

If he loses we wont hear the end of it

 

Exactly! :good

 

For real though I picked Berto to beat Mosley, before Mosley vs Mayweather was announced.

I also never thought for 1 second Floyd would be scared to fight Mosley.

 

dude hadn't fought in a year and a half.

39 years old.

It was a nice backup plan for the pac fight not happening.

Floyd did all the right things except finishing a 39 year old guy who hadn't fought in a year.
