    Mosley didn't throw much more himself and he was tired after 3 rounds.

    Yeah, I was a neutral. Thought Floyd was phenomenal last night.

    Shane was thrown off by Floyd's speed, He actually believed he was faster/as fast as him going in. IMO, seeing the results of that changed everything he had trained for & threw Nazim's gameplan out the window in Mosley's head.

    Mayweather's "Straight right hand" after a slip/counter is a beautiful punch.
    I give credit to team Mayweather for catching all of Mosley's flaw's and teaching Floyd how to exploit them.

    The lead straight right hand, a stiff jab & they took away Shane's left hook.

    I can see Mayweather being ranked anywhere from maybe 20-50. I have him closer to fifty. I have Pac at about 30 but I can see him ranked higher or lower too.

    :huh

    Im not talking on par as in ATG lists, Im talking CURRENT P4P rankings... Id say Mayweather is probably no1 actually but the victory & MANNER of victory over Shane means he has at the very least closed the gap (if there ever was one)

    Either way pac is behind him.

    You all cried for your saviour mosley and looked what happened.

    If pac is clean he can take the test and get schooled also.

    when the last time a guy schooled p4p 1, 2 and 3 coming back from retirement.

    Aye, right :lol:

    Where will you place him when he schools Pacquiao ? (I think team Pac are going to avoid this fight like the plague but Im an optimist).... who will he have to put on his record to get the ranking his talent deserves (10-15) in your opinion ?

    I'm no fan of Mayweather, I hate him actually. But he put on one hell of a show Saturday night. Not only did he school Mosley, but he recovered well after getting two big shots. Proved to me he has a chin for boxing and not just gabbing. Well done.

    Anyone would look half decent against an old man.

    Shane's best is a distant memory, let's not kid ourselves.

    Haters won't admit, it's the same thing whenever Floyd wins. Shane was going to knock him out according to these haters before the fight, and now he's suddenly an old man who gassed in 2 rounds and gave up and is only B level.

    No hate here. I like Floyd, but that's the way I see it. Shane's old and he'll be losing sleep for not taking this fight many many moons ago.
