Nope. Not at all. Cause that was way more believable to me than Mosley AND because at least from my eyes, I believed I saw in JMM at least a man who WAS clearly trying and still taking risks and giving it all he had. I unfortunately can't say the same for Shane.

It baffles my mind how you can't acknowledge the simple facts.
Shane:

• 38 Years old
• Past his prime
• Slower then May
• Has trouble against Boxers
• 16 month period of inactivity

He's past it bro. get over it. Do you really hate Shane? Or do you just hate the fact that Mayweather won?

i think chicano wanted shane to go out swinging and fighting, regardless of the punishment he was taking.

Yup, The thing with cano is that he loves the Mexican blood and guts fighters(And so do I). But he expects every boxer to fight that style. I remember he was pissed because Cotto was running from Pacquiao when he was seriously hurt. I was like wtf? you expect him to sit there and take more punishment?.. I don't blame him though it is very entertaining.

i love mexican fighters. they will die in the ring. if you compare shane to that, then i can see why he looks like he was wimping out.

but... at some point, self-preservation kicks in.

Bhop still fights pretty well for a older boxer though and the age difference in this fight was only 5 years. Mayweather was just too much a technical boxer and Mosely was scarred of the counter punches he would receive if he tried to go out swinging. He didn't wanna risk getting knocked out at all.

well deserved props, money dismantled mosley

but what RA says in the beginning still hold true, mayweather either fights smaller opponents, or opponents his size who are old/fading stars past their prime. not hard to guess which one mosley was.

C'mon let's not be biased.. It goes both ways..

But ya' see what I'm saying? Just in those gifs alone, those are WEAK arse punches, even YOU AND I can throw harder than that. It was ridiculous. This guy's supposed to be a pro. He was throwing that weak QUICKLY after the 2nd round, that's what's even more weird and pathetic.

I understand what you're saying and i agree with you (the first part at least, Not sure about the bold ). He obviously gassed after the second round. But Again in my eyes and many other peoples eyes it wasn't a "pathetic/fishy" performance.. Shane said himself that he couldn't get off. He felt stiff.. dude is old.. I'm not sure what version of "Mosley" you were expecting to see, especially this late in his career.
But i do understand your frustration.

Lots of people dislike Floyd for whatever reason & no one who fights him, no one, wants to get KO'd by him & his soft fists. Shane showed that.
