    May Sugar was better ... May put on a clinic.

    At least Mosley was throwing something in that fight

    But the first 3 rounds of Pac were ok

    Probably Floyd-Mosley, because in spite of the total domination by Mayweather we knew Mosley could turn the fight around with 1 punch. There was no such drama against Pacquiao; neither his victory nor chin were ever in question.

    Floyd vs Shane was better to watch b/c Shane wasn't running as much, which allowed us to see MORE action. albeit, all onesided action but shane did create the most drama with his 2nd round efforts, which gave viewers something to hang on to.

    With PAC, Shane simply ran to survive and didn't give any efforts worth mentioning or that was exciting. At no point did anyone ever think he would change the dynamics of the fight, therefore the drama wasn't present. It was onesided as well but due to Shane's instinct to survive it made for a dull fight. PAC's KD on shane was the biggest event in either fights but Floyd skills were on showcase with the presence of a more determined Shane.

    Floyd/Shane. Floyd controlled the whole fight after round 2 opposed to Pacquiao who looked frustrated. Mayweather put on a clinic and made it look easy landing at will, Pacquiao didn't do that. I will rewatch Pac/Mosley as I think it may be better after the first viewing but Mayweather completely controlled Shane whereas Pacquiao couldn't really get through Mosley's defense. The "running" is overexaggerated and an excuse on Pac's part he should've cut the distance between him and landed more body punches against a Shane with much less footspeed and stamina than in his prime or close to it. Pacquiao should have never let his team cherrypick Mosley that was coming off 2 very bad performances.

    Mayweather should have fought Mosley the same year he ko'd Margarito. Both cherrypicked Mosley and fought a much faded version of him. I don't hold it against Mosley that he lost against them but he was clearly looking for a payday aand to survive against Pacquiao because he feared his power. He had no worries of being stopped by Mayweather so even though he was being hurt and backed up by Floyd, he never had to fear getting KTFO like he did against Pacquiao.

    Pac/Mosley may be better than most people think it was so I suspect most people didn't rewatch it. Mosley/Mayweather was easier to watch and a clinic with Floyd not struggling to land though Mosley stood in front of him the whole fight whereas he ran a little and used lateral movement so he was never directly in front of Manny for long. How anyone can say Floyd/Shane is boring is beyond me it was a great display of skill and landing at will from Floyd. I blame both for not facing Shane the same year he ko'd Margarito though.

    PAC controlled the entire fight with Shane....never was hurt, nor in any trouble. Floyd controlled 90% of the fight which is still great, but he did have that 2nd round that PAC never experienced in his fight with Usain Mosley.

    PAC was frustrated that Shane didn't come to fight like he said he would. Shane came to survive and avoid any resemblance of a risk in there with PAC. Therefore, PAC did what he could against a Seasoned VET who made it up in his mind he wasn't going to engage.

    It's funny that there are a few folks who LOOK for any way to discredit PAC to the point where they actually found something as laughable as calling what Shane did against PAC as "DEFENSE".:rofl

    One guy even said Shane resembled Sweat Pea!:rofl...No Bull Sh*t! I know...You don't beleive me but I swear to the good Lord I'm not lying!

    Pacquiao still looked frustrated and Shane showed good head movement many times and didn't make a stationary target. You underrate Mosley's defense in that fight but sadly that's the only thing he showed.

    :lol:I saw that post. Another thing ridiculous is that gender tasco said that Pacquiao is to offense what Pea is to defense. I seriously hope he doesn't have Pacquiao over offensive machines such as Hearns, SRL, SRR, Duran at times, and Gomez.

    Of course he looked Frustrated.... When the name of the game is boxing yet for one fighter, it looks more like he prepared mentally for the 800M event in the Olympics of course the BOXER is gonna be frustrated.:lol:

    Anytime PAC made a forward motion, Shane hopped on his bike and circled left double time! Shane had the "flight instinct" working after round 3 with PAC.

    I'm sorry...I respect your opinion, I just can't see how anyone can call that "defense". Sure...he evaded, but that wasnt' through boxing skills. That was through ATHLETIC ability and knowing what NOT to do in order to survive.

    That's what being in the game as long as Shane has will do for you. I won't say that Shane wasn't SMART. He absolutely was ...he didn't go striaght back or languished on the ropes. He knew circling away from PAC's most potent punch and staying off the ropes would allow him to make it the 12 round. A less educated or seasoned boxers would have eventually made a mistake that PAC would have capitolized on.

    Mayweather-Mosley was the better match to watch, no question about it. Despite Floyd dominating Mosley, the later still has the puncher's chance as he had proved in round 2.

    May/Mosley and Pac/Mosley will not be remembered as "classics". They were both boring as hell but were very informative in terms of weaknesses in both May and Pac.

    the Mayweather fight because of the 2nd round and because Mosley was not scared of his punches.
