Mosley is not old or shot. Mayweather is just better.

    I'm tired of reading threads making excuses for Mosley being defeated. He was not defeated physically because he was stronger and he was just as fast. He was defeated tactically, he fought Mayweathers style and got outboxed. I'm convinced a prime Mosley would have lost exactly the same way for exactly the same reasons.

    Lets give credit where credit is due. All credit goes to Mayweather for his performance. Hes now one of the all time greats.

    No matter what anyone says. This was a good win for Floyd, but the fact is Mosley is 39 this year. You can be tired of reading threads that Mosley is old, but he is old. The only thing which got Mosley this fight and made him look great was Margarito. Before that Cotto beat him and then Wright two times and Vernon twice. A good win for Mayweather, but couldn't we all see this was going to happen?

    Yeah, 2 fights lost in the last 5 years, one against Cotto which many thought was a draw, and losing a decision to PBF, where he rocked PBF and took a couple of rounds = shot.:rofl:rofl:rofl

    A good win for Mayweather, but if you watched the fight, Mosely is shot.

    Mosley looked good physically. Good enough to knock out Berto, good enough to beat Margarito again, but this was a battle of styles and wit not a battle of speed and power. Mosley had just as much speed and also had more power and he still lost.

    Also Mosleys stamina looked bad. I don't think his stamina was bad because hes old, but because he wasn't allowed to fight in his style.

    He looked good, true, but then again roy Jones looked good against Green and Hopkins.

    Sometimes when a fighter goes, it their legs, or their chin. Sometime they lose the ability to pull the trigger.

    Mosley wouldn't pull the trigger, and his footwork was awful. And I disagree about his handspeed, he looked slower against margarito, and even slower today.

    Right now Berto would beat him up, and Mayweather would humiliate Berto.

    Mosley is obviously old and way past it, but I do agree that Floyd is that good.

    Mosley's not shot but ffs he's almost 39 years old..not prime obviously. Even if he was prime, i'd pick mayweather to win.
     
  10. floyd was real good tonight and dont see how manny can beat him at all he would just be f.u.b.a.r. if they did fight but the fight has got to happen.

    mosley of coure is old, no one should dispute this. as for shot, i really don't know. he gassed out early but was ok in the first 2 rounds. you can say floyd did his part in making mosley look his real age.

    mosley was shot by mayweather, what nazim sayed about mayweather was true."shane is going to hi floyd in the mouth and floyd is going to grow wings and turn into a dragon and spit fire balls.shane was so post to use lateral motion to get away from the fire balls, step on the tale and hit floyd in the stomach.that part never happend.

    When a fighter is 38 and loses comfortably, people always say he is shot. People said the same about SSM's loss to Cotto when he was 35-36 and then he beats Margarito would beat Cotto.

    It's a convenient way for haters to downplay PBF's win.

    Mosley has been very mediocre since his first fight with De La Hoya. Boring to watch and spends too much time 'jerking' as the Mayweathers would call it. Pawing with the jab, waiting for the big shot....ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    Mayweather would have beat him anytime and is clearly the better boxer.
