    1: Why is it that Shane Mosley was exhausted after only 2 rounds of fighting?

    2: Why did Shane not let his hands go from round 3 onwards?

    I agree, but I just want people to acknowledge that these are indeed the facts before we start getting to excited by what we just saw. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how tired Shane was after 2 rounds of action. These weren't the opening rounds of Marco Antonio Barrera vs Erik Morales I, these were two calculated rounds, not a lot of leather being thrown. I feel bad that we're all again discrediting Floyd's victory, but I know what I saw, I saw Shane tired after 6 minutes of Boxing, and reluctant to pull the trigger after three rounds...either that or he just couldn't.

    Congratulations to Floyd, he did what he had to do.

    This.

    If the fight was closer and had equal exchanges it would have been legendary. With a GASSED OUT Mosley, it just feels cheapened.

    I predicted a Floyd victory, but I didn't envision the lay off and age being such a factor for Shane Mosley. He was tired after two rounds of fighting, he couldn't pull the trigger from round 3 onwards, and his timing was shot, gone.

    COUNTER PUNCHER> COUNTERPUNCHING> End thread. Floyd was timing Mosleys shots and Mosley was getting hit and hurt. Same reason why ANY guy Floyd fights dont throw a lot. He makes you not throw a lot. ****ing boxing ******ed folk right here.

    Elaborate. How does being counter punched a handful of times make someone exhausted after only two rounds of fighting?

    Look, I know you're a big Mayweather fan, but can we not play dumb and ignore the facts here? ...It was shown to a world wide audience, we saw Mosley with his mouth wide open in round 3. This was a result of counter-punching? ...Yawn, ****ing yawn.

    age and inactivity. but floyd deserves a props cause he had done his part to make shane show his real age. if this was just an ordinary fighter and not floyd, shane would probably had gassed around the middle or the end part or maybe have won on the 2nd round.

    38 isn't that old for a heavyweight, but it's pretty darn old for a WW. When was the last great 38 year old WW?

    He hit nothing, hitting nothing saps your energy and FLOY is too quick. SHANE opens up he just exposes himself even more. He was already getting hit flush by fast ass punches he did not see LOL.

    It's funny how when shane won round 2 he wasn't exhausted. After Mayweather dictated round 3 by changing up his game plan. Shane is shot.

    Can you address the thread questions please?

    Why, in your mind, would Shane being exhausted after 6 minutes of combat?
