    He may be a duck but this video shows how much talent Floyd has and his ability to adjust easily, great vid BTW!!

    And it indeed exposes some members here how little they know about the sport :D

    Cool and all, but everybody here should have been able to decipher that as it happened.

    kind of self explanatory and obvious what happened, but there's no denying how bad shane looked. He looked noticeably slow and his punches had no steam on them. Emmanual Steward was commentating about that as early as the first round.

    Shane in his fight against Margo a year and a half earlier looked way better physically (ripped) and his punches had power and leverage behind them. Against Floyd he threw pitty pat, arm punches, and couldn't get off any combinations or body shots. A younger Shane would have ripped to the body and thrown combos like crazy against a flat footed target like that. Think the Winky Wright fight.

    Shane looked just as crappy 4 months later against Mora. There's no denying at this point he's almost finished.

    yes. Floyd adjusted to shane. But shane was fighting at like 10% of what we've seen from him in the past. He looked old and decrepit in there. His reflexes are shot and he can't pull the trigger anymore. The Mora fight 4 months later tells the rest of the story.

    Saying a younger shane would have thrown more combinations is a mute point as this is obvious. One could say the same about a younger mayweather. No need to really go there considering people wanted to see this fight after mayweather beat Marquez.

    That being said, saying shane looked fresher and more powerful against margarito is another mute point, as margarito is no mayweather. Margo is not as fast, not as skilled and not as smart. If he was then he wouldn't have allowed mosley to hit and clinch throughout the whole fight.

    Mora at this point is faster than mosley, just as skilled if not more and was naturally the much bigger man. Mosley hates fighting slick fighters, always has done. Is mosley done? Until someone knocks him spark out, I don't see why he cant continue fighting at the top level. If you look at it, he hasn't suffered a margarito beat down, a cotto beat down, a ricky hatton beat down or a jemaine taylor beat down. That actually says alot considering his age as well as his recent opposition.
