    That was not fakking tired, as I said last night, that was freaking anxiety/nervousness. Shane did not look at all confident last night, and Floyd took more of it away by pushing the action which Shane probably did not expect. Shane lost that fight even before the bell sounded. How can you be fakking tired for barely throwing and absorbing any punches in the first two rounds.

    I never ever wanted to say it, but Floyd is way above Shane, both mentally and physically.

    Compare the Shane of the first Oscar fight when he was throwing bombs in combinations in the last round after what had been up to that point a very hard fight to the Shane of last night where he was exhausted as early as the third round after two rounds where the only significant thing that happened was him hurting Mayweather and it becomes very obvious that he isnt half the fighter he was before.

    Mayweather did what he had to do and won the fight clearly but that wasnt the real Shane Mosley.

    my honest hopefully unbiased opinion:

    1. age + long layoff
    2. got off-balanced with his game plan when he almost got floyd but wasn't able to finish (it seems to take a lot from fighters when this happens)
    3. floyd's ability to dicatate the fight

    ... but #1 is the biggest factor IMO

    Hey Cloud-how was Floydd dictating the fight after just getting rocked in the previous round?Shane came out for the 3rd with his mouth open and did nothing.

    I agree. Mosley looked to be gassed after a couple rounds, unbelievable. The pace was slow, why was he so tired.I expected a totally different fighter, floyd was a couple levels about Mosley.

    He also looked very nervous,he probably stressed himself out.

    He wasn't dead tired in the 3rd round. He wasn't tired until about the 10th.

    the question shoulda been "Did Moseley even train for this fight." If he trained properly, he shouldn't been gassing like that after rnd2.
