    first off i gotta give mayweather his props, he fought good and pulled of some amazing moves

    but there is something strange, mosley almost ko's him in the 2nd, look great for the first 2 rounds, then in round 3 comes out less confident and moving more so backwards,

    yes mayweather is good at adjust but it was a huge turn around in that 1 min rest

    most of the guys i watched the fight, almost all of whom box, found this very strange, it's like a different guy came out for the 3rd round, you could see this in the first 1 min of the round.

    you know how they say everyone has a gameplan until they get hit

    well in tonight's case Mosley lost his gameplan when he hit thou who cannot get hit

    floyd just came out pumping, and stepped up his game. shane couldn't handle that. simple really. floyd's the better boxer.

    I had the impression that in round 3 and 4 he was waiting for Mayweather to open up so that he could land the hard right again. It didn't happen, and from round 5 on Mosley's stamina was gone.

    Mosley didn't look great in the first two rounds. There was a one minute portion of the second round where he put in a big effort and had his only success of the entire fight. For the rest of the first two rounds it was already clear that he was overmatched in terms of speed, skill and class.

    Nothing happened Mosley simply got lucky in the second and landed a shot that hurt Mayweather,he looked old during the all fight.

    Mosleys heart for the fight left him after he hit Mayweather with his best shot, rocked him and mayweather just smiled it off. Mayweather showed he is a true champ, an almost perfect performance. Didn't react to any of shanes posturing, didn't lose focus for a second. My favourite Mayweather performance.

    you guys dont think it's odd that mosley went from being able to match mayweather's speed and hurting to him,

    to suddenly looking lost the next round....i never saw a min break that caused so much to change lol

    One of the judges gave Mosley the first two rounds, surprised me as I thought Mayweather clearly won the first.

    To answer the opening post Mayweather stepped up his game and became more aggressive, I think Mayweather coming forward was not what he expected and he struggled to adjust.

    I would also like to add that we simply don't know how many of mosleys decent wins were steroid powered ? maybe he was simply that bad because he didn't have his steroids or whatever the **** he takes makes sense to me because he's been on a downard spiral ever since he got caught.

    Mosley tensed up and was searching for the knockout for the rest of the fight, he knew he couldn't box with mayweather and he played straight into his hands. Mayweather adjusted aswell, in the first couple of rounds I got the impression that Floyd was seeing what Shane could do, he payed shane too much respect and let him do what he wanted to do. From the third round Mayweather dictated the fight.
