People who say that just don't understand boxing. It boggled my mind when I heard people talking about it like Mosley could have easily finished Floyd if he wasn't old, or he just "lost focus" and magically took his foot off the gas. A lot of boxing fans only understand boxing in it's simplest terms, ie "guy punch guy, guy knock out guy, ect". Anybody who has any real understand of boxing knows that Floyd got hurt and instantly made the necessary adjustments starting in round 3, which was controlling range and employing a steady pressure on Mosley while constantly looking to counter. Floyd was both the pressure fighter and the counter puncher, which is why he is so effective.

People say "ahhh well if Mosley just kept throwing punches he could have knocked Floyd out". Easier said than done. People don't seem to realize that these guys are human, and when Floyd is constantly pecking away and pot shotting, it's keeping guys off rhythm and making it hard for them to think. And when you got a defensive master with the hand speed and countering ability of Floyd, it fucks with your head and makes you apprehensive to throw.

Mosley didn't give away control of the fight, Floyd took control away from him.
