He got hit like that against Corley also, he just wasn't hurt as much because Corley didn't punch as hard as Mosley. He defense is amazing but everybody gets hit. I'm not saying he won't decline, it is inevitable but he hasn't showed and sign of it yet. In fact, he seemed to punch harder against Mosley than I've seen previously.
Mayweather was too overconfident and was sleeping when he got caught with those right hands. After the break, he adjusted and never got caught solid again, using his speed and reflexes. He's not slipping yet.
At 33, its coming, so he would be wise to fight Pac soon IMO, and retire fairly soon as well, if he sticks around into his late 30s, It will be him who gets beatdown by a younger fighter 1 day.
I dont say that he is slipping because I honestly dont think that mosley is faded. It is too many facts that can be pointed out. Bottom line that punch came out of nowhere but Floyd did what he had to do. I still think mosley can be the **** out anybody else who tries to fight him in WW. Him and Pac would still be an interesting fight that I would like to see. Pac isnt as smart as PBF
Floyd did what he needed to do for a win. Good win! But celebrating like it's prime Shane is a bit much. It's like Kevin McBride celebrating the Tyson win, 10 years too late.
DLH was much younger than Mosley when they met, he was past prime but not completely faded, when he fought Forbes is when I knew he was finished.
It was both, but I attribute it more to Mosley's age, ring rust, and apparent lack of stamina. He looked absolutely terrible in that fight. I think any top welterweight contender could have beaten him that night.
