    The first shot didnt look to be that bad. I dont think Pac looks in trouble at all in this fight and will dominate Mosley from the first round.

    He wasn't hurt enough to go down. What we should also realise is that floyd took both bombs not to far from each other and in one round, to not go down after the 2nd shows a decent chin.

    floyd looked dazed for a second. i was surprised that he went toe to toe after being hit like that square on the chin.. then mosley lost all confidence. With manny, i hardly nowadays see him get caught by solid hooks on the chin, its mostly uppercuts.. i remember marquez catching manny with counter hooks, and there were times i thought manny was going down! now with big mosley, if he can catch manny in the early rounds like he did floyd.. pacquiao might go down but i bet he's getting back up

    He took the 2nd bomb because he was still disoriented from the first shot, which seems like an ordinary Mosley shot, similar to the 200 Margo took before going down or Cotto took for 12 rounds. I question Floyds chin not because he went down but because of how badly it affected him when caught by a relatively big puncher.

    IMO this is why I think Pac could stop Floyd, cos Pac will land far more than Mosley and will rain punches on Floyd from all angles should he hurt him like that. Otherwise Floyd UD's him.

    He lost his equilibrium, especially after the second, if you actually play it slow you can see him smile after both punches with a big grin, but he was hurt, his legs were gone for a little while. After the second punch he misses with a right hand falling well short, something you rarely see. About 30-40seconds later he's back on top

    After watching the first shot since, I don't believe he was hurt as much by it as I first thought. I think the crowd played their part in making me think he was hurt a lot more, and with Mosley knowing he had caught him clean...him trying to jump on Mayweather made me believe he had him going. But he definitely still had his legs after the first shot.

    Second shot hit him hard and clean on the temple...took his legs away, almost dropping him...and took him a good few seconds to recover. The third round he put on after that was impressive, in turn not allowing Mosley to recover from his exertions (a part of the Mosley gassing theory that is overlooked...Mosley wanted a 'rest' round, Mayweather didn't allow it).

    Floyd was definitely hurt from the first shot. You could see it in his eyes. I don't think he was hurt so bad that he was going to get KO though. The second shot threw his equilibrium off. He got hit right in the temple. I was surprised he didn't go down from that.

    He looked more shocked than anything, he still looked very calm in the seconds after.

    He was calm but he was hurt. If he wasn't hurt Mosley wouldn't have landed that second right. When I saw Shane land that first right I knew he was hurt. He tried to smile like it was nothing but his eyes had a hurt look to them.

    Cotto outboxed a better version of Mosely. Manny will out box Mosley just as easier.

    This fight will look like Manny DeLaHoya all over again.

    TKO around the 8th

    Floyd was hurt no doubt It was impressive how quickly he recovered from those shots.

    If Pac gets hit by a similar shot I think as Michael Schiavello would say It is Good Night Irene !, Saying that I think Pac will be to quick and aggressive for Sugar sadly. :(

    That's not entirely true. He took the 2nd shot because he swung and missed and mosley countered his ass. Yes his legs were still a little unsteady, which highlights me saying floyd has a good chin. Not great but good.

    Comparing margo chin to mayweather is stupid.
