Was it a great performance ? yes but you need to just calm down, and realize what your saying. Just because he beat a 38 year old Shane Mosley, doesn't mean he beats Hearns, Leonard. Thats just crazy talk.

This isn't sparked by the win over Mosley, which went pretty much as I expected it to sans the 2nd round. It was sparked more by the fact that Floyd was badly rocked (which he hasn't been in about 6 or 7 years) and instead of folding he showed a champion's composure. A lot of people question his heart, and I think that once again he showed that he is a tough guy when he needs to be.

Hearns is also an absolute SUCKER for a counter right hand.
