Floyd doesn't want Pacquiao

No ones making excuses. Its just Mosley is old thats all. I cant change that fact.

 

and i didnt say you were, i was speaking in general, and yes he's on the other end of 30 but he's still a world class athlete

 

Timing is mostly ring rust, not age. Coordination might've been lacking due to nervous energy pointed out by Emanuel Steward. Speed was definitely there... hence him actually getting lucky to land.

Mosley is a rhythm fighter and Floyd took him completely out of his rhythm. Floyd would have always beaten Mosley, and that's where you're wrong and that's what you don't seem to understand.

 

I saw Floyd hitting Mosley making him look like a bobble head. He looked confused, and bewildered. A young Mosley would've been more energetic, but would've gotten hit more going in. Mosley never had a truly great jab, and always had that bouncing rhythm style that Mayweather would always nullify. And if Mosley can't get in a groove and land his bombs he won't win. A young Mosley only wins by a KO, which I'd estimate is perhaps a 20% chance.

 

If I didnt see that fight man, you may have convinced me. But I saw a different fight, I saw a fight where a 38yr old man who hasnt fought in a year connected on Floyd and had him on ***** st. Now what would the probability of a 27 year old Shane Mosley ending that fight right there?

You know, I dont know for sure but I can only make an educated guess that it would have been very high.

 

Mosley got what he asked for a royal whooping. Mosley cant box slick fighters, you should thank mayweather for performing the way he did, because he could have easily baldomir mosley ass that night but chose not to.

Any version of mosley gets schooled.

 

Bull****, mayweather would have adopted a different style. A 27 year old floyd will have been dancing around that ring.

 

That 2nd round sequence was luck. If a 27 year old Mosley landed he might drop Floyd at the most. Floyd knows how to survive and stay calm and collected.

What do you think the odds are that Mosley lands on Floyd in that same way twice in one round if they fought 10 times? I'd say once or twice. Really, Floyd let his guard down a tad too early and learned from it. This "Mosley was/is shot" revisionism is bogus. He had been training a lot, and sparring much. Yeah he looked rusty, but any jittery nervous **** that burns himself out is going to look that way. That's a credit to Floyd, though. I'm not even a fan, but someone has to set the record straight.

 

God how do you know this?

 

There's no way we can attribute Floyd to have pot-shot Mosley when he was standing toe to toe, and at times pushing him back. That's not pot-shotting and your assessment is distorted and inaccurate if that's how you will label it. When did Floyd give Mosley plenty of opportunities? Why do you think Mosley looked so confused and hesistant? Because he was getting countered, and he no idea how to nullify Floyd. You overrated Mosley I think my friend. His ability to adapt and adjust in a fight is horrid. His track record against slick boxers is not great, nor is his ring IQ when faced with adversity. These are facts, don't let your hate get in the way.

By the way, Mosley tried going to the body later in the fight but it was too late. He was completely thrown off by then. He was head-hunting because the nervous **** wanted to knock Floyd out so bad.

You're right, 20% chance was too high for Mosley. Floyd's performance was pretty good, but nothing special I agree. Mosley just isn't on that level. Let's be realistic.

 

Because I know boxing better than you. Power is the last thing to go. You telling me Floyd gets knocked out by 1 shot if Mosley is 27? You think Mosley would've finished Floyd? Or are you telling me Mosley did something so great to set up that big right hand?

 

And like many others you flip flop. First it Mosley would knock out mayweather. Didn't happen, new theory, mosley was shot.:rofl

Now it's floyd doesn't want pac, then new theory, floyd was forced into it:rofl

The pattern of excuses is amazing.
