    Mosley wasn't gassed, he was nervous, tense, and gun-shy. Floyd managed to sting him at the end of the second when Mosley was still looking for that next big punch. After that it was all Mayweather as Mosley kept waiting for that opportunity for the big punch to come and it never did. It didn't help that Floyd beat him to the punch in basically every exchange. It's hard to get set and throw hard punches when you get popped with a jab or overhand right every time you try.

    There are a lot of reasons a guy can look bad that have nothing to do with conditioning. Hell, he threw more in this fight than he did against Mayorga, according to compubox, and no one claimed he gassed in that fight.

    Pavlik also only threw 533 punches in that fight, well below his usual. The argument here is that Mosley didn't punch because he was tired. So why didn't Pavlik punch, if not because he was tired? I mean, in the first four rounds Pavlik averaged 39 punches a round, which is about what Mosley averaged in this fight.

    I'd say Judah was still in his prime, being the same fighter he'd been for awhile. Extremely talented, but inconsistent, and a mental midget.

    After the Cotto fight is when I think Judah started to decline physically. He's not as fast as he once was, and doesn't have the ring IQ to make up for this.

    Come on, you sound like Floyd is a big puncher. The guy never KOS anyone these days.

    If you are not willing to throw a high number of punches on Floyd, you do not get into the ring with him, period. Of course you will take countershots. You got to realize that Floyd will always be more accurate than you so you have to try to outwork him.

    Why are all of Floyd's huggers acting like Mosley was at the top of his game? The guy was ****. Yes, it was a combination of Floyd's speed/ability and Shane's inactivity/age that made him look so bad, but bad he certainly was.

    The extremely fast counters Mayweather responded with had a lot to do with it.

    So shane didnt know that floyd was a lightning quick counter puncher before the fight? so if shane wasnt willing to take one to give one then can someone tell me what his gameplan was? shanes only chance of beating floyd was to bully him and try to knock him out,and im sure a fighter with shanes experience knows damn well what it takes to get that job done . It takes someone who is willing to take a shot to overpower his opponent, especially when shane hits twice as hard as floyd.

    floyd is the best fighter in the world at the moment,there is no doubt about that, your opponent is always going to contibute to you getting tired cause its one on one fighting,but that still doesnt mean there aint somthin else happening .

    :deali think he beats paquaio also, but shane stiffened up bad in the fightm which caused him to gass,it happens when your very tense, shane said himself he was to tight, and the result of that is breathing with your mouth wide open.

    And no way is shane going to say after the fight i was tired, hes too much of a champion to make excuses.

    No jab. :deal



    Without a jab to set you up, Floyd can see his punches coming from a mile away.

    yeah, probably after 5 or 6 rounds. not after 3 rounds.

    it is a combination of both Mosley being old and Mayweather being good. When the stars align, that is how the fight went.

    To some posters who attribute it all to Mayweather being good alone, you are bunch of idiots.

    If Mosley is 31, the results will be probably be the same but he sure won't be mouth-breathing after the 2nd round.

    I diagree. Floyd is not a puncher.

    In order to be competitive with Floyd, you got to throw more punches than him, like DH tried to do. You can't average about 30 punches a round against the very accurate Mayweather, that is ridicoulous. I expected Mosely throw around 60-70 punches a round, use the jab to set up body punches, move Floyd to the ropes. Mosley appeared to be exhausted after a few rounds.

    I really agree with this analysis. Mosley was exhausted and could not implement the gameplan laid down by his team. Maybe it was the missing enhancement drugs or his age I don't know, something was not there.

    He had Floyd right in front him but was reluctant to throw punches even when Flody backed to the ropes, unbelievable. Mosley did npt have the stamina to compete with Floyd.

    for many instances shane was about to unleash his right hand but suddenly aborted coz he's target was gone as floyd was on the defence. floyds defense + fast right hands and lightning left hook make shane gunshy. his execution of what's in his mind always come late as due to floyds defence and reflexes. he aimed too much on the head of floyd! in the early rounds when shane hits floyd at his body, floyd will tuck his left hand on his body. but shane abruptly abandoned his body punching which make floyd able to defend his head with his 2 gloves. i think team shane doesnt really expected floyd to be on the offensive.
