I don't care how old Shane was, He is still dangerous at 147. I think his performance was better than the Gatti and Ricky Hatton fight. I'd definitely show this to anyone who wants to know what the sweet science is all about. Few Mistakes and all fundamentals.
Absolutley a great performance. He is in a clas of his own. Mosley was a much much tougher fight than Pac. Floyd would knock Pac out cold.
I loved the fact that all the talk pre the fight was how Floyd would deal with the bigger, stronger and more powerful Mosley and whether he could avoid him all night. He took Mosley's best punches early, then stood toe to toe to him for the entire fight and drained his will to live. He looked the far stronger fighter in the ring and Mosley was the guy that was constantly pushing backwards.
It was the most enjoyable Mayweather performance I'd seen in quite some time, honestly, and Floyd deserves the props he's getting for it. It was also a smart move on his behalf to open up offensively for the fans so he can go into the Pac negotiations on a high note.
I thought it was a great performance. I expected Floyd to win, but he at won in a way that at least opened some eyes. He looked like a beast walking Mosley down, out-muscling him in the clinch, and landing sharp, accurate shot after shot. He's still not a true power puncher, but he got more respect from Mosley than either Cotto or Margarito managed to, which says a lot. Floyd "weakness" has always been his supposed fragility and lack of strength at 147. He looks like a legitimate, very strong welterweight now, so that changes a lot of the supposed blueprints for beating him. The next few months of waiting to see how the Pac fight pans out are going to be LOOOOOOONG.
Wow bro i have a new found respect for you. I didnt think you could say words like that about floyd. Good Post!:good
i thought floyd was brilliant. i was just expecting a better conditioned shane, it would have been a better fight. on floyd's part, you can't ask for anything more. he showed why he is one of the best in this era.
Moseley in rd 2 was that close but Floyd nullified any follow-up by holding on. He had such a grip, SHane couldn't pull his arm out. But Floyd came forward still. THat surprised me and I like surprises. He showed discipline and stayed calm. Love to see him fight again, hopefully against Pac.

Fu***** boring ass fight!!! It made me appreciate pac fights even more!! Sh** id rather watch antonio margarito get down then void mayfeather
As much as I hated seeing Shane getting schooled, I kinda enjoyed Floyd showing his greatness. As I said before, I don't care how he wins, just win. But he gave me more than what I expected.
