Do you think Floyd deserves full credit for his win over Mosley?

    Wow someone actually remembers that most of the boxing world demanded Floyd fight Shane when Pac negotiations failed.

    I mean I dunno if I can speak for everyone, but I know Shane wasn't close to his prime, but I still think he was a dangerous opponent for anyone.

    Just because Floyd made him look as bad as he did makes everyone thinks Shane is more past it than originally thought.

    Floyd showed that he was a genius of the game once again and anyone who denies him FULL CREDIT doesn't know ****. Mosley was favoured by many to win and was consensus top three or four pound for pound.

    I think Mosley was clearly shot by the way he gassed after three rounds.

    However, nobody really knew how declined Mosley was going into that fight and that includes Mayweather. Mayweather went out and did his thing, and even fought more aggressively then normally and dominated the fight. He deserves props, but anyone who thinks that version of Mosley was the same fighter that destroyed Margarito is fooling themselves.

    Mayweather still deserves props for taking that fight and how he went about winning it. I voted yes.

    This should not even be up for debate! Some people are going to dis-credit people just because they are not their favorite fighter. I do give big props to the guys who are known pacquiao fans who try to be realistic about things and not spew hater type comments all the time. Enjoy the rest of the thread guys.

    :good

    This is pretty much what I mean, May gets props in my book for taking the fight, which was viewed as a dangerous challenge for May at the time.

    And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to fool myself with the version of Shane that May fought. But I think it was a legit win for Floyd none the less, he went out there, made the older fighter look his age, while aggressively (well more than normal) winning a lopsided decision.

    Such is life on ESB.

    Every once in awhile a thread has more legit post's than bull**** ones.

    Fair enough.

    Was it enough for you to vote yes or no? or no vote?
