Floyd Mayweather is a genius. Seriously. For all the talking he does and as flamboyant as he is outside the ring, his boxing style is completely the opposite. He is a master tactician and he proved it again last night in dismantling “Sugar” Shane Mosley.
“Money” showed he has a chin in the second round following perhaps the stiffest shot I’ve seen him take yet. Mosley (who is a naturally bigger and stronger guy than Manny Pacquiao) landed a big right hand that clearly had the undefeated Mayweather shaken. For a second I thought Floyd was going to get knocked down for the first time in his career. After that moment, the fight was over.
Mayweather adjusted, sized Mosley up and proceeded to obliterate him for the next ten rounds. I was literally laughing out loud (or lol’ing) as he put on an absolute clinic. If Shane enjoys getting punched in the face, then he had a terrific Saturday night. I’m not sure he even touched Floyd again the rest of the fight because any time he tried to do anything, a glove landed flush on his chops. It was as pure a display of skills and hand speed as you will see.
Floyd Mayweather proved why he is the best boxer in the world last night. He’ll do it again should he fight Pacquiao. I’m no aficionado but the guy is simply the best I have ever seen.
