Mayweather had only had 1 fight in the last 2 and a half years so surely the ring rust has got to be even. Mayweather was the better man plain and simple and no one will give him the credit he is due until he's gone and then people will say about someone else .... Yes he's good but he wouldn't have beaten Floyd Mayweather.

Please people show some class and just admit Floyd was plain and simply the better man.
On the night Floyd was the better man. He won the fight by a landslide, what more can you want? I'm admitting it.

I for one am not flip flopping. I said before the fight I wanted Mosley to win, but I also made clear my reservations and those reservations were made glaringly obvious by what happened. Mosley had accumulated a lot of rust and couldn't get his punches off. He was old, he looked old and he fought old. Mayweather was in shape as usual and it showed in the fight.

It's like Hatton beating Vince Phillips. It's a good win on paper, but in hindsight would we say that was Phillips at his best. Obviously not. All a fighter can do is beat who is in front of him and fair play to Mayweather in that regard. He performed, he won.
