    Agreed. He got into clinches when he should've been trying to pick his punches, he allowed himself to be smothered, and then he inexpicably seemed to run out of gas. Most definitely the hallmark of an old fighter.

    Sometimes 12 rounds of ass whuppin can be worse than a stoppage. Shane certainly got that.

    Floyd put him in the clinch. It was $ that wrapped his left arm around Shane's head.

    Shane was barely in that clinch for any amount of time. He immediately got out and tried to finish.

    The right hand that wobbled Floyd in the 2nd could KTFO any top WW today, even PAc that eats a lot of right hands. But I tell you, a solid hit on the head wont wobble pac, but a solid body punch would (margarito 6th rd style)

    I see this fight playing out the same way as Pac ODLH. Mosley won't be weight drained but father time has caughr up with him. He will take Pac's punches but take an ass whooping

    I suggest you watch the fight again. There were numerous clinches in the remainder of round 2 after the first bomb landed, not just 1. And please don't use "$" to refer to Floyd, it makes you sound like a fanboy imbecile.

    A stoppage win would suffice, imo.

    Either that or a one sided scorecard that includes kd(s).

    Unlikely.

    When you consider that Margarito ate similar punches for 8+ rounds prior to wobbling and eventually suffering a kd and an eventual tko, I'd say it's more of an indictment on Floyd's suspect punch resistance than it is an accurate measuring stick on Mosley's punching power.

    It wasn't Mosley who initiated the clinch like you want to believe. Why would you clinch if you have the other guy hurt? It's common sense not to.

    $ didn't have Mosley in the clinch for long.

    Please watch the fight before you talk about it, so you won't look stupid, wigger *****.

    :patsch Where did I say Mosley initiated the clinches you ****ing braindead troll ****** ****???

    I said Mosley "got" into clinches. Read the post before replying and embarrassing you ****ing inbred.

    Mosley got into numerous clinches, when he should've been maintaining distance and picking his shots. He got too close when he should've stayed outside.

    You have now been corrected, you ****ing non-entity.

    I agree with this, to be honest its one of the reasons I think pac wins via tko, I think floyd is ****ing his chances up with this waiting game he is palying, the long lay off might backfire. He should have fought him in 2010, then I thought he would win a ud, its changing now.

    Because Shane has the jab and "boxing" skills to beat a "boxer" like $ on the outside. He tried your bright idea later into the 2nd round and ended up losing that portion of the round.:lol::lol::rofl:rofl:patsch

    Shane did try to finish him. Only problem was $'s defensively great, has a high ring IQ, and knew how to protect himself even when hurt. Watch round 2 again. Shane was throwing numerous bombs immediately after landing that first big right and continued to do so after the 2nd one connected.

    Floyd has a good defense, so Shane had to use setups or feints to land the big right. Shane was done once Floyd figured out what those setups and feints are. $'s defense was too tight for any of Shane's attempt at finishing to be successful.

    So Mosley was not out on his feet on one or two occasions? Mosley didn't take numerous punches without replying? Richardson wasn't considering pulling Mosley out as the fight progressed?

    No, that is not my logic at all. Here is my first post on this thread...

    ...there is a big difference to being hurt, and being close to a TKO...but like my post points out, Mayweather could have gotten the TKO, and Mosley was hurt sufficiently enough for the ref or Richardson to consider stopping the bout...especially with Mosley's head being knocked back off of every punch.
