    Pacquiao did not lose a round.
    Pacquiao landed the harder punches and knocked Shane down.
    Pacquiao landed more punches than Floyd.
    Floyd was rocked and nearly KD by Mosley; Pacquiao was never remotely troubled.
    Mosley landed more punches on Floyd than he landed on Manny.



    In what fashion could you possibly even begin to make the argument that Floyd had a superior performance? Pacquiao did everything better.

    well floyd's accuracy was better and made mosley gas out in just 2 rounds. also floyd's circus clowns in the ring walk outperforms pac's eye of the tiger.

    how about this.

    Mayweather landed 208 punches at 44% on Mosley.
    Mosley landed 92 at 20% on floyd!

    Pac landed 224 at 31% on Mosley
    Mosley landed 66 on 20% against Manny.

    Those stats say that Mosley was a lot more active against floyd. a higher work rate. threw more punches. yet only hit floyd with 20%! the same as against pac. while floyd hit mosley with almost as many punches as pac, despite being 13% more accurate than manny!

    u see thats the thing with stats. they can be twisted to prove any point.
    What cant be twisted is the fact that

    1. vs foyd, mosley came off a career victory against margarito.
    2. vs pac, mosley came off a career POOR performance against Mora.

    those 2 are facts. or are you gonna dispute them?

    Mosley was coming off a scrappy draw with Mora and a trouncing from Mayweather when he fought Pacman.

    Mosley was coming off a devastating KO victory against top Welterweight Margacheato when he fought Mayweather.

    Mayweather's win was much better.

    don't forget the fact that mosley was coming off more than 15 months of inactivity before the floyd fight, not to good for an aging fighter and gassing out in just 3 rounds confirms that he is not a tip-top shape against floyd.

    as opposed to against manny, where he was gassed after 10 seconds.

    against floyd he threw a lot more punches.

    also inactivity is not as damaging as coming off a beating by floyd, followed by a career worst performance against Mora

    Uhh, Mosley fought Margarito 16 months before he fought Mayweather. He was coming off a poor performance against Shaquille O'Neal against Floyd. Connect percentage does not matter in boxing. You may have this sport confused with baseball.

    Pac scared the **** out of roided Mosley. Floyd, not so much, against a clean Mosley.

    End of CONVO.

    connect % does not matter in boxing?! your ****ing joking?

    mosley had inactivity but he was in training camp for the berto fight. its not like he had 16 months or being a bumm!
    Also id rather have 16 months inactivity rather than coming off his 2 worst performances of his career! for ****s sake did you even SEE the Mora fight??!/!

    when it suits you, connect % doesnt matter :lol:

    Mosley was inactive but was coming off his last hurrah and quite possibly his last big win against Margarito. Mayweather stood his ground when some said he would run and he put on a clinic in a watchable fight. He stood in front of Mosley and backed him up with sharp straights & a crisp jab. Manny had a 9-9 round in the 10th so he didn't win every round(it was a bs kd). Manny also looked like he had no clue on how to cut off the ring though he did get in some pretty flush punches every now and then. Mayweather did better and his win over Mosley was better than Manny's as Floyd didn't fight a Mosley that hasn't won in two years. Shane needs to retire, he's done.

    Mosley-Mayweather was a good fight too. Pacquiao-Mosley was boring as hell.

    How did Manny have 9-9 round? Do you even know what a 9-9 round is? It's impossible without a foul. If Manny had 9 points in the 10th round then he surely got 11 points in another round, right? Because he had 120 points on two of the judges' cards.

    When has connect % ever mattered? Joshua Clottey had a higher connect % than Pacquiao when they fought. Was he robbed?

    connect % matters when two fighters have similar punches landed.

    YOU tell me

    Fighter A lands 224/727 at 31%
    Fighter B lands 208/447 at 44%

    Who performed better?!

    think before you answer. try to be unbiased for the first time in your ESB life

    there's a very huge difference between gassing out and not being able to fight because you were knocked down.

    floyd beat a man who has no gas left in the tank after 3 rounds while pac took his will to fight after 3 rounds. and it was strange for mosley to gas in just 3 rounds when he was the one who troubled floyd in the 2nd.

    that doesnt explain why mosley threw 120 more punches in the fight vs floyd.

    in rounds 1 and 2 against Manny, mosley did **** all. before the knockdown!
