    i disagree. Floyd schooled mosley. If shane fights again, he will look good again, just not against floyd and prolly not against pac.

    I was about to ask the same question, but I am just watching that round again and no he didn't even though at first I thought his hand touched the floor.

    I can't believe shane did not unload even after catching him with two big right hands

    personally I think he was so amazed at PBF staying up (with clinches etc) that the disbelief of ko'ing PBF set in and he knew that he would be in for another PBF masterclass. If he let his hands go in the 2nd round when PBF was on the ropes he might have had more self belief and determination. But he let him off IMO

    u gotta give credit when its due, even if its someone like Floyd Gayweather. Floyd only ever had one KD in his career and it was with Zab Judah

    The thing is, sure looking at it in SLOW MOTION, you could call it a knockdown... but Zab moved his foot almost as the same time that the punch landed, at regular speed, that can easily look like a trip, I don't blame the ref for not calling it a knock down... either way, it didn't shake Floyd up, he was just caught off balance.

    i dont think shane is shot by any means he would do better against pac because of styles shane has always struggled to get his shots off at pure boxers everytime he threw mayweather countered with a right hand mosley became more and more tense and twitchy thinking were cna he throw and anyone whos boxed before will know that tires you out alot more id of liked to see mosley pac because it would be a war and more of a fight for mosley

    oh and mayweather did not touchdown gave him alot of credit for bein able to keep himself up
