People who are labelling this a result versus a "shot" Mosley need to have a long hard think. Yeah, people get old overnight. But Sugar looked lost versus Winky when he was an awful lot younger. Tonight he just met a guy who was that much better. I think that's maybe the most extraordinary performance i've seen in colour; i'm pretty drunk, but that was incredible. Where did you rate Sugar pound for pound going in? I bet I had him lower than most...and my breath was taken.Pacquiao gets crushed.
The most extraordinary performance you've seen in colour??? McGrain - stop drinking now and go to sleep.
It was great, and people were try diminish it. Hell, they have already started. Pac won't get destroyed. I initially thought a Pac SD was my instincts. I think he still has all the attributes to beat him. Right now... ugh I don't know. Maybe 60/40 for Floyd. I won't say anything outside that. The thing that worries me for Pac is he is a rhythm fighter like Mosley. However, he does have a good jab, he's very fast, throws great combination, and terrific foot-speed. And he's a southpaw, which is a little tricky (Zab Judah early on). The rhythm part bothers me. Like Mosley he works within a rythm. However, he has the work-rate that Mosley doesn't have. That's something important. You need work-rate and to press a high paced fight to beat Floyd.
Mayweather is a good fighter, but this fights tells us nothing about how good. He gave an old guy a payday, that's all. Nothing great about this fight. Not two great fighters in their prime.. and bla bla... no, one good (how good, who knows?) and a guy with a name who once was good.
So the best welterweight in the world...lol the p4p #3 fighter in the sport clearly.. is not good enough. You whores are priceless. This aint a contender never was mother****er like Clottey. Shane would beat ANY other welterweight not named Floyd Mayweather or Paul Williams and probably KO them. Yes, the Shane from this fight. Floyd fought the best guy out there b/c the other fish is scared to go in without the Ariza special. The true p4p king is back bitches.
Put it this way -- I think the Mosley who fought tonight would have at least a 50/50 shot at stopping Pac. Floyd deserves his credit for a performance that showed what he is made of. The man is a true champion and a great, great fighter. A matchup between PBF-Pac will be a lot different than PBF - SSM though.
Mayweather surprised me with this fight. He went toe to toe with Mosley, made him gun-shy, while showing his toughness and underrated strength. Brilliant, great performance. Just made the Pacquaio fight more delicious to watch.
