Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley.

Has Mayweather always been asking his opponents to take Olympic style blood testing or did this obsession only begin to start after he was confronted with the possibility of having to put his '0' in real jeopardy?

I'm pretty sure it was part of the reason he never fought Margarito in 2007, and Arum made it clear recently that it wasn't, so it's hard to tell... I know as part of the evidence against Pacquiao for that fight to fall through, Mayweather proved with documents and testimony that all his fights between Now and Baldomir, which include De La Hoya, Hatton and JMM, were wont with OST to prove an even playing field.
 
Just back from watching it

Cant believe mayweather stayed up with that flurry in the second, after that it was gamer over
 
Fcuk, cant believe I fell asleep again! Downloading now anyway :mad:

From the get-go it was clear as day Mayweather knew the fight was his, and even after being down 2 rounds (Well, on one scorecard) he could transform his own gameplan to better eliminate the opponent.

Let's be honest: Shane Mosley was never going to win the fight unless it was an early knockout, and as close as it appeared he was (The biggest punch PBF has ever recieved in his professional career according to some analysts) it really wasn't that close, i'm almost more inclined to say that by shaking him up, Mosley put himself in a corner earlier in the fight then he would have liked based on Floyds aggression coming sonner in the 3rd round.

The pre fight shit was not my taste; I've always been of the opinion (And strong opinion) that boxing be about the sport now more so then the entertainment, because we've lost the latter to the UFC. The delays that it took for hand-taping alone (And very obviously necessary) made things a bit antsy but watching live on a PAY PER VIEW (PAY) seeing Mayweather refuse to enter because his promotion and event didn't have its proper over-saturated entrance was appaling.

For someone with such bloody skill in a boxing ring, he eliminates my unanimous respect because of his antics... There are entertainers and performers, this guy is not one... Ali was, Foreman was, Tyson was, SRL was... Mayweather is nothing more than a businessman

The thing is Suga hit him with 2 haymakers and Floyd was still standing that said it all. Sure they hurt but PBF is one of the best schooled boxers ever, he knows even if he is knocked out on his feet it is better than being knocked down. That second round showed so so so much from the Pretty Boy, he got, and well he got hit really fecking hard twice but he stood up took it and well the rest of was his, especially after Suga threw an elbow Pretty Boy struck back with a killer cross within 10 secs. In the end this was pretty hopeful for the fight that we want to see, Paq will throw more big punches but he wont knock the PB out, and well in the end my money will be on the Pretty Boy, he wasnt anywhre top shape annd he walked through this fight really
 
Homos, who is the best boxer these days?

Heavyweight that is. I'm completely lost. Is it Klitscho? Valujeev?
 
Loved the way Floyd really displayed his offensive masterclass. Probably the first time in his career he really HAD to, because after that 2nd round, it was Mosley's win for the taking, but Mayweather came out guns blazing in the 3rd and showed the doubters he really can entertain the crowd.

Pacquiao will be a fantastic fight, but I honestly can't see him beating Floyd.

Even if it is, it only reflects badly on Pacquiao, he's the one refusing it for whatever reason.
 
That was a great fight, really enjoyed it. Good to see the agressive side of Mayweather coming out, I thought he could be in trouble after the second but he turned it all around after that, very impressive.
 
Brilliant from Mayweather, I thought he was in serious trouble in the 2nd but he produced a boxing masterclass to win every round after that
 
Impressive performance from Mayweather. However the fight just underscored my lack of interest in Boxing compared to MMA over the past few years.

One of the most intense rounds of Mayweather's life no doubt... can't believe he managed to stay up, keep his composure, and take Mosley to school after that.

Anyone else notice that Floyd fought like he had something to prove? Even against smaller fighters like Marquez and Hatton he would backpedal and hop around the ring being elusive. Last night he pretty much stood his ground against Mosley and at times even went forward, and got aggressive.
