    Pre fight i thought mosley was shot, after the fight i just think he was outclassed.

    floyd dominated the best 147 pounder today. a guy who had anhilated margo.

    cotto couldnt beat him this convincingly and i expect shane to rebound to pick another title.

    floyd demonstrated heart, speed, timing, defence, attack, stamina. it was a master class.

    the only question i have remaining is how would floyd handle being cut? cotto, diaz, pavlik and many others have wilted at the sight of their blood. how would floyd fare?

    one other thing i noticed. floyd is feather fisted. he cant hurt a solid fighter. ye he floored hatton but that was a perfect punch. his lack of power is noticeable now.

    Diego easy. He was not seen to win that fight at all.

    What did you saw during the fight to make you change your opinion about Shane being shot?

    Mosley was not shot, but again I do not think is real weight is 147 @ 38. He needs to move up in weight if he wants to continue to fight cuz after rd 2 he was so gassed, and that is usually from trying to make weight. 54 or 160 would be his best option.

    Gatti was a bum, he had no chance and way past his prime. Diego even I thought he was gonna get murked plus Diego was undefeated also.

    That's not true. I don't remember if Diego was a betting favorite or not, but it was pretty much a split amongst Boxing writers. Matter of fact, the majority of them in this article favored Floyd...

    He even said it's hard making weight on an episode of 24/7 when him and his crew were leaving to go to Vegas and the doping agency popped up.

    Making Shane look silly, I'd say it is his best.

    Says 18-15 Mayweather plus I never go by what them stupid reporter says. They opinion are as good to me as a rock in my front yard. Most of the people I talked to says Diego was gonna smoke him and we follow boxing, so I guess their opinion is a brick on my house also :p

    What i saw was shane being the shane we have always seen. if plan a dont work he relies on power. he caught floyd in round 2 but didnt capitalise. rest of time floyd made him miss. it werent shane being shot, it was floyd being great

    To say that Floyd is feather fisted shane sure didnt want to get hit by those feathers anymore. He is not feather fisted. Its just his punching technique
