    Floyd apparently failed chin test in the 2nd round.
    He almost got KOd by aging Mosley.
    Pac and Roach would exploit this weakness if ever they
    come to fight.

    If anything he passed the test with flying colours. He was clearly hurt but did what he needed to do.

    He didn't almost get KOd. He almost got knocked down.

    Pac certainly wouldnt let him off the hook like Old Shane did and he wouldnt be exhausted by the fourth round like old Shane was.

    He passed in your own standards. He almost got knocked out by an aging shot fighter who should have retired two years ago. Floyd would not have survived that round if he was in the ring w/ Williams and Pacquiao.

    Pac would have been out cold if Mosley hit him with these 2 shots

    Anything can happen in the that round. Either a KO or a KD.

    And how do you know that?

    What has happened in Pac's fights that make you think that way?

    Negative.

    Tonight just proved how tough he is. How many other fighters can take those kind of shots and still be standing? 2 right hands behind a full pivot and a left hook to the temple. Plus Mosley is no light hitting chump. Floyd did get spaghetti legs, but his recovery was instant. And take note, he didn't go on his bike.

    In comparrison:

    Margacheato took about 50 of those shots before looking like they hurt.

    Floyd - Two of them have him on ***** street...

    So, if Floyd (as has been said today) has a 'great' chin - what is Margos made out of?!

    be real, even the granite chinned get rocked now and again. Floyd's chin passed this test very well.

    I agree, however, Mosley did let him off the hook somewhat - Shane was unable to push home the advantage.

    I think round 2 shows, if you rock Floyd you have a very small window in which to push for a KO. PBF showed quick powers of recovery.

    It's just my opinion he's never been hit with shots like that at WW

    Shane wasn't able to follow it up w/ more telling punches. He was so slow and gassed up early.
