Mosley's Performance

[TheMacMagician]

I brought this up in a different thread and I'm not sure if it has been discussed at length elsewhere. Forgive me for same if it has.

Does anyone find it a little fishy that Mosley had difficulty with his stamina in this fight given that this is the only fight where Olympic-style drug testing was imposed?

I'm not putting down Mayweather's performance because either way he fought a near-flawless fight, but Mosley looked not himself. He had the best trainer (imo) in the business giving him great advice in his corner and every indication was that he had a good camp. He was coming off a career-defining win.

Explain to me how Hatton at 147 performed better against Mayweather over ten rounds than Mosley over 12. It's just a little odd.

I agree man, somehting totally didn't addup from a Mosley point of view. I've gone in to this in another thread with you and ICb so I'm not gonna bore msyelf or anyone else, and certainly before any bigtime Floyd fans come swinging in on his balls, I thought Floyd was terrific, and I too like Paddy, have come round to the idea of how great he actually is. I still think it could have been a combo of Floyd and no Drugs though. Guess only Mosley can answer that.....

On a side note, something that can only have been a disadvantage to his camp was the serious lack of world class sparring. Bad bad decision IMO to not call someone in and only use the dudes from his camp like Rock allen. Not good enough surely IMO.

Mosleys stamina was always overrated. He was blowing after a few rounds against Cotto and struggled in the middle rounds, Floyd didn't give Mosley hope late on in the fight like Cotto did with his inferior defense and Mosley had effectively given up.

Floyd's a special fighter, he has the same balance and composure going into the 12fth than the first, actually he gains it through the fight as he warms up.
