I still don't buy completely into the notion that Mayweather adapted and that's what stumped Mosley. Mosley really looked to have suddenly become a shot fighter as soon as the bell went to signify the end of round 2. Nazeem told him at the end of round 1 that he needed to loosen up, but the heat of round 2 seemingly burned up all that nervous energy that Mosley obviously had. He was spent and from that point on looked a weary and old fighter. There was nothing in him to be sustained.
I think the overtraining idea might have significance, that along with the age and long layoff and Mosley was clearly not who he had once been. Again I will say that Floyd deserves some credit, but after going through the fire in round 2 he found himself against a fighter who had nothing left from then on out.
