119-109 Is my final scorecard. Floyd's legs had gone in that 2nd round and Mosley, with a bit more composure could've sealed the deal. Nevertheless, as I predicted Floyd takes a UD (albeit wider scores than I thought).<br /><br />-- 02 May 2010, 04:29 --<br /><br />
Did you go for a piss in the 2nd round? Why is it being overlooked that Floyd was clinging on for dear life? I give the man his dues, he retaliated like great champs do, but the story could have been a WHOLE lot different had Shane kept his composure.TomInce93 said:Total Floyd domination again the man is quality.

Floyd's greatest performance thus far IMO. Complemented by the way he came through adversity in the 2nd.
Well done, Floyd.
Let's hope he fights Pac.
Special mention to Sugar Shane. True gentleman and a credit to boxing.

He's too much of a gentleman. He wanted to hug Floyd at the start of the 12th. He's just not a hungry fighter, he was glad just to be there and cash the check.

Manny, could you find it in your heart to accept the random testing please? I'd quite like like to see you fight Floyd if it's not too much trouble...

Money schooled Mosely big time. He'll do the same to Pacman. You just cannot stop the man.

I think I finally understand why Manny won't fight him.
You don't have to understand every technique to realise that was technical perfection. Classic stuff.

Money put on a Masterclass there tonight. 1 poor round in the second was a blot on a near prefect prefromance. After that second it looked to me that Sugar put way too much into that round to try and finish it off but Money went from strenght to strenght after that. Sugar was lucky his corner didnt pull him out of the fight as he was taking far too much from Money I now hope Sugar calls it a day and retires this fight is the 1 that takes so much out of fighters were they were dominated for most of the fight.
Will Pacman fight Money if you ask me after seeing that display he wont want anything to do with Money simples. Money is right about blood testing this is a huge fight and both should do the random testing as Mosley done for last nights fight. Pacman I can see him refusing the tests again and he may well fight Berto.
If Money cant get Pacman I wouldnt mind him fighting Paul Williams or Cintron in his next fight which is on Sky again next week. If Money can move up the weight to Light Middleweight which will be a huge risk and beat either of these 2 it would be truely amazing and the public would want to see this fight as well. Money has all the good options open to him Berto , Pacman , Williams and Cintron are all fights that can be made within weeks for the end of the year so its a question of who is next and wants to take on P4P best in the world.

OK so Mayweather finally fights someone ranked in the top 5 at welterweight, and puts on a masterclass AND shows us some serious balls to survive a round where he is badly hurt.
The sheer accuracy of the guy is phenomenal. Mosley looked off balance for more or less the entire fight, and he was blowing out of his arse after 5 rounds, whereas Floyd looked like he'd only got up.
Having seen that last night, I am convinced Floyd beats every other welterweight out there. Ideally, to elevate his record to the level of truly undisputed great, he has to fight the other great fighter out there and that is Pacquiao. There is just no excuse for it not to happen now.
I stand by my stance that Mayweather is technically a wonderful boxer and a supreme athlete, those ideas are just undeniable. His record was very good when he left the sport 2 years ago, but where was the career defining fight? De La Hoya in an exhibition? Hatton well out of his depth at the weight class? Last night was probably Mayweather's career defining fight as it stands at the moment, and he has taken a big step towards bona fide greatness, for definite. The only way to seal it once and for all is to fight Pacquiao. If you look at all the great fighters, they have never ducked the biggest challenges, including Pacquiao. Pacquiao's record is just better than Floyd based on the calibre of opposition and the timing of the fights in terms of weight class, age etc.
Mayweather vs Pacquiao is THE only fight people want to see now. It would easily sell out any stadium you wanted to put it in, it would sell monstrously on PPV sales, and it is the first p4p shoot-out that boxing has had in a long time, and given the emergence of UFC, MMA and the like, boxing badly needs this event to happen to give it back some of the credibility it has lost in recent years through the top fighters being more matchmaker than pugilist willing to push themselves to the absolute limit.
Floyd is one fight away from undisputed legendary status, so let's hope for the sake of boxing that a compromise can be reached with regards to the blood testing.

I cant beleive you slated Mosley his last fight he fought was 1 of his best preformaces in years. Money just had too much for him last night. When Money fights like that its hard to see him being beaten.
Who do you want Money to fight would you be happy with Berto , Williams or Cintron because Manny wont want anything to do with Money after that. Those 3 named are in there prime 2 at a higher weight 1 in Moneys weight class.

I think Pacquiao would have stopped that version of Shane Mosley last night to be honest, so I doubt Floyd's performance will strike the fear of God into him. It was no different to pretty much every other fight, except that he showed some serious guts and composure to survive one round where he was hurt big time.

I waited intentionally to read the reaction and only a couple of posters realized what they witnessed, and what only a select few know on here, Mayweather is without doubt the greatest Fighter of his generation, and in the top 3 of all time. Carron as usual covered his arse with 'i predicted mayweather', yeah with you covering your prediction with 'though wouldn't be surprised to see shane knock him out'...... bla bla bla, mosely caught him flush and would of took any other fighter out, he also punches harder than manny so what could pac do?
Adam Donnely give it up lad, all you ever do is slate the guy as either hand picking fighters or fighters ones over the hill, nobody has ever confused mosely like that , age had nothing to do with it, the result would of been the same 10 years ago.
If pac was unsure before that fight he will be within no doubt now that he cannot win that fight, never happen.<br /><br />-- Sun May 02, 2010 1:50 pm --<br /><br />
Mosely catching pac like he did in the 2nd would of been lights out for him.......... and as i've stated pac doesn't bang as hard as mosely, its all on work rate and constant pressure, mayweather would simply outbox him, ware him down and genuinely believe a stoppage, pac would go looking for him and get caught.

I can't see how Manny would have been there for Shane to hit him like he did to Mosley.
Mayweather will have a hard time dealing with the sheer perpetual motion of Pacquiao.
Mosley's footwork was poor last night, he looked off balance the whole night, which helped Mayweather because in a straight forward trading session, Mayweather can out-punch anyone. Manny however doesn't just stand up in front of you to allow that to happen.
It will be interesting, can Mayweather be as accurate against a guy who does not stay in the same position at any stage, and is Manny's movement enough to prevent Mayweather from finding the range with those rapier like straight rights and jabs. It's a fascinating clash of styles and no way is it a given that Floyd wins.
The fight has to happen for the credibility of boxing.
