    Mosley almost had him, if only he could have stepped back and avoided the constant grappling from Floyd and let the hands really go. Ah well, wasn't to be.

    You have to give credit to Floyd for that. He took them and came right back, he never looked to get away, he walked straight back towards Shane and fired back at him. I was just watching the replay, and you could actually see the shock on Shane's face when he was punching him back in the last 30 seconds of that round.

    The few times i've seen Floyd Mayweather Jr stunned, he seems to comeback very quickly. I think he has amazing recovering abilites from what i've seen.

    JonesJrMayweather and I have had our fair share of disagreements. But he's undoubtedly right in my opinion here. Shane looked lethargic the whole fight. everyone hoping or picking Shane to win thought the Shane of old would come back. 10 Years ago Shane had the stamina, combination punching to give Floyd all he could handle.

    It frustrates me, but yeah, Floyd does deserve his credit. He didn't wilt like Hatton against Pac. He showed smarts and worked his way through the adversity.

    Floyd really impressed me in the fight. He took a few very solid shots and managed to stay on his feet, holding on is simply the experience you'd hope a fighter would have after 40 fights.

    Floyds legs did look wobbly when he tried to march back, but even if Mosley got the knockdown, I think the result would have been the same, Mayweather would have simply gahered his breath and continued boxing.

    Mayweather is incredibly consistant, he picks a tactic and then does that more or less for 12 rounds and as his opponent slows, he opens up a bigger lead through being consistant. Whether his style is enough to wear Pacman out is another story.

    I think Mosley did well, you have to credit him for rocking Mayweather and trying to fight his own style, but his style was like a poor mans Floyd.

    Mosley did look out of gas from round 3 onwards, which at first seems amazing seeing he probably trained for 15 rounds, but the thing to remember is how Floyd's style wears you out. When boxing tense, it takes so much more out of you. There wasn't one point where Mosley looked relaxed and was constantly expending energy in blocking or hugging.

    Well done Floyd, but you are still a dick.
