My thoughts... I got many.

Floyd is an awesome superbly talented smart slick tough fighter.

No real excuses from me, the better man won.

I am though perplexed at what I saw from Mosley. Fitz made a good post earlier about Shane I kind of agree with. Mosley seemed way to uptight while Floyd was cool in there. It's like Shane forgot how to throw punches and or he was too hesitant cause of Floyd's counters. Mosley was way too jittery and wasted energy. Mosley talked a good game but I hate to admit it, Mayweather beat him with his mind by the end of the third round. How does Mosley stop really throwing but just looking all those rounds til the last one and THEN starts throwing some nice combos and stuff? Mentally Shane obviously was not all there. He definititely looked like an unsure fighter in there, like many have stated.

Props to all who called this fight correctly, I still can not believe how easily he neutralized Mosley. I am very disappointed in the way Shane performed, but oh well, Floyd fought a great fight who deserves major props for beating Shane.

Floyd's postfight interview was kind of classy. I understand he was trying to sell the fight for the most part, and he did back up his talk.

Floyd beats ANYONE 154 and down. He is that good.

I was wrong with all my Shane hugging for a while now, but I honestly thought he would win this fight.

If only Mosley could have finished off Floyd in that 2nd round,lol. I had a packed house watching this, and seen a lot of hold friends and my old trainers came over, had a great time regardless drinking and eating.

PLEASE stop with the Floyd could have stopped Shane talk! Mosley was never even remotely hurt or buzzed. Only one fighter was hurt in this fight. I could easily say well Shane could have stopped Floyd if... So stop with the Floyd could have stopped Shane talk if... The fights over and it is what it is. There was never any chance of a Mosley geting stopped.

Thanks to my wonderful wife who bought a ton of food and drinks and cooked for all my friends and is the greatest to me. Hope everyone had good time tonight.

Shane did look like he was ready to go at the end of this fight. I thought that if Mayweather was a bit more relentless on offense, he'd have gotten Shane out of there. Shane looked like he was done in the 10th. He looked like a desperate beaten man. The Sugar was gone...

I also like how every one is saying how he will whip Pacquiao. He may beat him but Floyd has never faced a fighter that is as fast as he is, has the stamina that he does, at least as fast footspeed, hits harder than he does, is a southpaw, has a great ring IQ & a top notch trainer.

That makes Pac vs PBF the most interesting fight out there. If old slow Shane can catch Floyd flush then Pac sure as hell can.

You are correct... However Pac and Shane have a much different approach. Shane was uncharacteristically extremely defensive. the thing that they worked on in the gym was NOT chasing Floyd around. Pacquiao will be quite different. Pacquiao will be alot like a more dedicated fasther relentless Ricky Hatton. He will come forward and present many opportunities to be hit flush by Mayweather. I expect Mayweather/Pacquiao to be alot like Mayweather/Hatton.

I agree and we all see what happened there. The thing that might pose a problem is Pac's angles but still Pac goes to sleep in that fight. But it ain't happening cause Pac ain't testing Olympic style.

Except that he is a more skilled, more dedicated, harder punching, faster, more relentless fighter than Hatton.....

But it ain't happening cause Pac ain't testing Olympic style.

Nor should he. He agreed to the standardised mandatory testing. Not testing outside what the NSAC requires.

Asking Mayweather to jump two divisions is a little unfair but whatever...

Yet it was okay for Mayweather to ask Marquez to jump two divisions?

Mayweather fought a good fight he got my respect tonight for actually fighting with Mosley i realy think that threw Shane off but Mayweather showed balls and heart by not going down despite being badly hurt but with that said I see PAcqiuao wrecking Mayweather now cause if that was Manny hurting Floyd in the 2nd rd he would have been on his ass throwing punches in bunches.

No doubt it will still be a tough fight but I see Manny actually takeing FLoyd out if the fight ever happens.

AS for Alvarez i was very impressed this was the 2nd time watching him fight and for a 19yr old he showed alot of composure and nice combos in stopping Cotto and eve nthough he was badly hurt in the first rnd he came back jus tlike Floyd and dominated the fight. I see big things for this kid in the future

I agree 100%.

Also been hearing that Mayweather/Martinez might be a possible fight if so i got Martinez all the way.

Holy crap!

If Floyd kicks Martinez' mug in at a catchweight of say, 150ish lbs. would that make Floyd champ at 147, 154 and 160 at the same tiime (?)

Why did Alvarez seem to impress so many tonight?? I thought he was very hittable, lacks good defense and he was fighting Cotto's big(little) brother. That Cotto belongs at 135 of 140. Hell, he almost stopped Alvarez. Couldnt you see how fat Cotto was at 147. That guy is the Puerto Rican Steve Forbes. Alvarez is average at best. When he's in with a real WW, we'll see how he fares. If Cottos brother could hurt him bad, then he would be in for a long night when he steps up. For his sake, I hope his handlers dont bring him along too fast. Seems like they are lining up a HUGE mexican supermatchup between JCC junior and Alvarez. Probably wont be in Arizona though...
