Well to be fair Mosley wasn't in his peak when he fought Marg, either. People were saying he was washed up 6 or 7 years ago when he was getting embarrassed by Winky Wright. It wasn't prime Mosley, but it was a very capable and dangerous Mosley. It was a Mosley that all the Floyd haters were rallying behind, saying that "Oh now Floyd's in trouble, he's fighting someone who's just as fast as him and has more power!".
The fact of the matter is, Floyd got caught BIG, but just like he has in every single fight he has had in which he faced adversity (excluding the first JLC fight, which I thought he lost), he made the necessary adjustments and took total control.
So you can hate Mayweather, thats fine and dandy. But if you're going to be one of those people that says "Oh if only Mosley had kept punching/didn't gas out" or "If only Hatton was allowed more time to fight inside" or "If only DLH was 5 years younger when they fought", ect ect ect, then IMO you're going to look foolish.
Floyd is 41-0 for a reason. Great fighters find ways to win. Don't act like he has a horse shoe up his ass and his record is the result of all his opponents suffering various misfortunes before or during the fight. Floyd is a terror to fight against.
