Floyd and Shane. LM tried his best to goad Floyd into saying something negative about PAc, and Floyd had the crowd eating out of his hands by answering LM's questions as they cheered his answers. Floyd appeared genuine even when he was asked if he was hurt by Shane. He told it like it was when asked about the blood testing. Floyd showed that he is a humble person when the fight is over. Now was it me, or was it that LM seemed pissed that Shane said he was tight after he blew his wad lol... "After 18 years, Shane how were you tight" lol...when LM really wanted to say, "Shane, you should've fought hard for the full 12 and beaten the bigmouth" lol... Pac is NOT going to ko Floyd or come close to kayoing Floyd even if he hits Floyd like he did Hatton lol... PAc is not strong enough to beat a fighter like Floyd, and that's a fact lol...
I wonder what the Floyd-PAc ppv #'s will be. It seemed that we saw a lot of PAc-Clottey in the weeks leading up to the fight on ESPN, and didn't see a lot of Floyd and Shane. 24/7 seems to give Floyd a big advantage when it comes to his ppv numbers. I expect Floyd's ppv numbers to site on PAc's last ppv #'s...no hating lol.
No, I don't think LM was "pissed" at Shane when he said he felt tight, Merchant has always been very blunt even with the fighters he maintains a friendship with, like Antonio Tarver and Erik Morales. If you think about it, really, a vet like Mosley feeling tight after being in many high profile fights and coming from a warrior like him it's not typical of him. But yes both Floyd and Shane seemed humble after the fight. If Floyd had lost the fight and said he felt tight, he's no spring chicken himself so that would also sound out of place and it wouldn't make much sense. I don't like Mosley's chances even with Berto and like Oscar, couldn't pull the trigger and looked slow as hell after 2 rounds while Floyd looked his usual self, but even he looked like he lost abit of an edge as well looking abit slower. He still gots the skills to be around for years to come.
Merchant doesn't pull any punches on anyone, Floyd or otherwise. This is why I like him. I think what Merchant was asking is why did you go out like the little guys Floyd fought? You choked after the second round...how does a professional choke and not have a plan B after being in the spotlight for so long, at best your fans deserved you to be competitive or go out smoking. Yeah, Merchant can be hard but his job is to ask what was on everyone's minds. I was thinking that too, why no combos, why no bodywork, why stick to that gay pawing jab for so long when it was a useless jab and setting up a right hand you refused to throw?
Larry Merchant is still pissed that floyd dissed him with the " larry merchant knows nothing about boxing comment" I lmao when floyd shut that old fart up.
I agree, but wouldn't write off pac completely man, i fancy floyd to win a wide UD/very late TKO (pacs corner stops it due to a build up if punishment over 10/11 rds. probably with pac disagreeing with them...) But that mosley 2nd round, if pac had an opportunity like that in a fight i'd be a lot more concerned for floyd than i was last night. Probably shane does puch harder than pac, but overall pac a better 'finisher', floyd must be cautious, pac smells blood he will be all over him like a rash. Yes Floyd wins, but i rekon pac gives him HELL least for 6-7 rounds and during that time, unless floyd decides to **** pac off early then he could have his hands too full. Floyd must fight PERFECT to beat pac, i mean more perfect than he would anyway. Ultimately i hope the fight actually happens. I know i rambled on a ****in bit there but i could'nt give a toss.....i'm sorry.
I felt Larry was a bit too blunt with Shane but that's how he is. Floyd has always been humble at the end of the day. All that 24/7 **** and trash talking is for ppv buys and mindgames.
You guys have to be ****ing kidding. Merchant's questions are asking what we the fans want to know. When the **** did it become about Merchant needing to kiss the ass of some nuthugger's favourite fighter?
i agree floyd is not the best to watch all the time but he is wanna of the most skilled boxers ive ever seen maybe not the best fighter but i doubt pac can beat floyd
