Mayweather v Mosley

[TheMacMagician]

I have to totally revise my thoughts on Mayweather as a Welter, he was amazing. There i said it.

AGreed man....... Was very dissapointed in Shane though, although he kinda performed similar to Clottey against Pac, in fear of being hit everytime he threw or opened up. I have a feeling Floyd hit harder than he expected. Floyds countering was top notch, catching Mosley nearly every time clean and crisp.

Mayweather is a monster, no excuses. Never seen Mosley look so lost before... and great heart from Floyd to weather the round 2 storm.

And look at him talking to Larry Merchant, the b*stard isn't even sweating.

I thought Mosley looked a little lost against Winky. Was it worse than that?

No, the two first rounds he did damn good, knocking Mayweather with flush jabs and solid power punches but he totally ran out of gas after that. What I find strange is not that Mayweather won by 10 rounds, I am all ok with it, it,s just, as it has been mentioned, how Shane can run out of steam after 2 rounds when he's always been very competitive in the past for at least 10 rounds?

I don't think that's fair man. Shane tried to make a go of it, but he just couldn't find a way through. He was trying to find the openings and they just weren't there and he can't just wade in taking punches. Clottey balled up and didn't even try to make a fight of it. Shane showed he was a warrior, he took punches that most other men couldn't have, but he was just in against a better guy.

He was trying but he was only ever in the fight in round two but he never gave up.he was feinting alot to get a reaction from Floyd,but PBF wasnt having none of it,Shane ended up feinting to much and not punching.

Fair play, maybe a little extreme a comparison, Shane took some great shots but he was so wary of being hit, full stop.... I still think its weird also that he just didn't let any leather fly atall barring a few shots in round two and very very little for the rest of the fight. He didn't even seem that keen to have a decent pop at finishing floyd off in the 2nd, or from what I remember. I'd like to watch it again. Never seen Mosley that spent before and unwilling to let his hands go.

I guess that towel helped Shane a lot.

Shane is a guy who looks for the openings. He found some in Round 2, but they were never really there again, certainly not for his power shots. I also think Floyd got in a clean punch to his nose at the end of that 2nd and I just wonder with the recent operation to his septum whether he fucked something up. One thing I would say is that Shane has often had that 'I'm knackered' look early in fights before (see Cotto, Mayorga and Oscar II), but has usually come on very strong late. I think the difference this time was that Floyd beat the fight out of him.

As for your bolded point, almost EVERY fighter is. Like Nazim and Roger said in the build-up to a question about Floyd 'not liking to get hit', have you ever met anybody who does? The sharpness of Floyd's punches I think has something on it, it made possibly the two toughest warriors of the past decade, Diego Corrales & Arturo Gatti, look like they really didn't want to be in there. I have a feeling Shane will be able to come back from this and look great. We're saying now all the same things we said after he fought Mayorga & Vargas.

funny that cuz I thought floyd boxed like winky did agaist shane in there first fight.

Hands up, hold your ground, move forward behind a strong guard, take his best shots, break his heart, walk him down.

same tactics.

I remember Mosley said he was stiff I think I know why. Mayweather's jab. I remember George Foreman saying when Mosley first fought Oscar that a jab could do that to you. And Mayweather was sticking a jab in Mosley's face all night and it was a stiff jab too.

Can't believe I found my self actually AGREEING with Jim Watt of all people but he said it best in round 3 when he said that ''Mayweather is NOT a 'fancy Dan', He has showed that there is a TUE warriors grit in there'.

I thought I would of been gob smacked at the sight of Mayweather laid out cold but I cannot express how shocked I was seeing Mayweather ROCKED to his bots, STAYING on his feet and then BRINGING THE FIGHT LIKE A TRUE WARRIOR!!

Damn, that was like Jesus turning water in to super unleaded fuel then pulling a bugatti veyron out of a hat for god measure.

Truly stunning!

Yeah Mosley was disappointing but aren't they all?

Past prime and in beatable form, that's how Floyd likes them!

Nothing more and nothing less

Yup. When guys get hit/rocked like that, they can start going down the slope as the fight progresses but that didn't happen with Floyd. He held on to dear life for a few seconds and got back on track to a dominating victory.

If Floyd and Pac get it on there's already a built-in excuse: Manny isn't a true Welter.
