    Excellent video.:good PBF is great at making adjustments it's what separates him from lesser fighters the ability to adjust and figure your opponent out. Ring IQ is a very underrated thing in boxing.

    Man, just because Pacquiao's prepared to walk forward endlessly, and get hit, don't mean he was doing anything.

    Manny landed 160 shots that fight. Mosely landed 142 versus Mora as an example.

    Man, tons of guys gave Winky 2 to Mosely, on a split.

    Even one judge had it down as a draw.

    What are you even arguing fool?

    Throwing punches takes energy. Throwing accurate punches takes energy and focus. Shane was exhausted in two. He looked it. You can't argue that.

    Brawler versus Brawler the better Brawler wins. Margo is slower, less pop, and throws wider punches. Who said anything about "looking good"? I said exhausted!

    BS he will. He gets hit too damned often as a "Pure Boxer". At 147 and maybe even 140 he will get sparked. IMHO Pac would too if he actually fought the top SKILLED guys at 140 and 147 instead of fighting craftily placed one dimensional or damaged Arum cherry picked plants.

    Isn't this the point of the entire article?

    Judging performances on how many shots you're allowed to throw.

    Manny landed 160 versus Marquez, including jabs. Mosely nearly threw and landed the same amount against the Mora fight you're criticising him for.

    Hard to fight guys who don't let you fight. As Manny knows

    Shane didn't look exchausted. I agree with a lot of what you say, but this stuff is just hindsight stuff.

    Throwing shots when you know it's probably going to miss, and you're going to get 3-4 back in return is what it is.

    Not saying Mosely was even that fit against Margarito, but it's just much easier to let go against guys who aren't going to hit you back.

    Most Floyd opponents tend to dissapear after 3-4 rounds. Just run out of ideas

    Man, I may be wrong but the score cards were even on one card, and winky winning it by 1 on two others.

    Was like Williams vs. Martinez

    Man, it's just basic boxing.

    Marquez, Mosely, hand half the guys on Floyd's resume didn't just give up after a few rounds.

    He'll do the same to Pacquaio.

    And like in many cases the judges scorecards where way off.

    After the fight everyone agreed that Mosley did better in the rematch than he did in the first fight but they still had Wright as the clear winner and rightfully so cause he pretty much controlled the fight with his jab and other than an instance where he acted stupid trying to make a Mayorga impersonation he was never in any danger of losing that fight.

    Wow, so that's what really happened. Floyd never made the same mistake again, and then Mosley couldn't find another flaw he could use.

    Thank you so much for enlightening me

    Shane did look exhausted. I am not even talking about "in fight". I am talking in the corner. Listen to the corner. They knew he was exhausted too. Richardson CONSTANTLY referenced fading.

    You theory doesn't hold water because of the Mora fight. This is what a Brawler (Boxer Puncher) does. Punch. SSM has NEVER been some "pick the right shot" type of fighter. He lets his hands go. Being hesitant/frustrated and gassed look completely different. Baldo was hesitant/frustrated.

    Had this happened against say a Dirrell, Whittaker, Caballero, Rigondeaux type Pure Boxer? Sure. Those guys make you miss. It didn't. FMJ stood right there. Just like Forrest. Just like Wright. Difference is that SSM was THROWING against them. He wasn't throwing against FMJ. He couldn't. He was GASSED.

    You are exaggerating. If Mosley had the wind to start up that buzzsaw Mayweather would have had to use his feet or cover. It isn't in FMJ's nature to trade. FMJ let go because he KNEW Mosley was "digging" leaving HUGE mid-combo gaps and/or after getting off 2-4 shots NOTHING was coming.

    Apples to oranges. Not having "ideas" and "having anything in the tank to throw shots" are night and day.

    I think there should be a bit more of this on ESB, it would help with some debates.

    No no no no no no and NO

    mosley just gassed and grew old in the ring it happens it's a fact and it happened to mosley.
    Anything mosley had left went in the margarito fight not that I am saying he's on the same level but it was clear that mosley was gassed out surprised you can spot that adjustment by floyd and fail to miss mosley suddenly not even trying.

    the above is your opinion and Shane showed otherwise......didn't seem to gas himself out WHEN HE WAS CONNECTING ON MARGARITO INSTEAD OF HITTING AIR LIKE HE DID WITH FLOYD:deal...

    the rest of that **** is a bunch of excuses which were not said until after the fight...

    It would be one thing if most fans were saying all this before the fight but they weren't...IN FACT THEY WERE SAYING FLOYD WAS TOO SCARED TO FIGHT SHANE BLAH BLAH....:deal

    THIS IDIOT GIVES THE PERFECT EXAMPLE AS TO WHY FLOYD DON'T EVER GET THE CREDIT HE DESERVE..

    FOR ARGUMENTS SAKE LETS SAY FLOYD BEAT MANNY PACQUIAO......THERE WILL BE SOME A$$HOLE JUST LIKE YOURSELF WITH A LIST OF REASONS TO DISCREDIT THE VICTORY ..

    WETHER U LIKE IT OR NOT SHANE MOSLEY WAS THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD AT THE TIME NOT NAMED MANNY PACQUIAO OR FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR...

    LMFAO..THAT KIND OF PRECISION IS EASY...NO THE FUK IT IS NOT..ASK ANTONIO MARGARITO AND ASK SERGIO MORA WHO WAS OUTLANDED MORE THAN 2-1...

    TROLLS LIKE THIS FA33OT HAVE THIS BOARD FUKED UP ALL THE TIME:deal BIT34ES LIKE THIS WHO THINK OPINIONS ARE FACTS ARE EASY TO OWN
