    Floyd Taking Mosleys big right hand seperates him from Roy Jones jr?

    In your opinion will this give the edge to Floyd when it comes to all time rankings? There was a chance for Floyd to end up like Roy vs Tarver but he took not 1, but 2 big shots and ended up dominatint the fight. Roy got nailed with the 1st really big shot in his career and it was over. I know Hopkins hit him in there 1993 fight, but that was 1st time someone just loaded up and caught Roy and it was lights out.

    Shane put everything in to that right hand and Floyd took it and ended up winning the fight with ease.

    I feel the fact that Floyd will never stick around waaaaaay passed his prime will ultimately help him and hurt Roy.
    The fact that he took the big shot doesnt mean as much to me because Floyd is closer to a prime fight than Roy was at that time. IMO.

    In the end Floyd will have the better looking record with better looking opposition on it w/ an excellent chance of never being knocked out in a fight.

    That to me will most likely keep Floyd Ranked higher all-time.

      Floyd's chin is solid.

      It's impressive that he is such a defensive minded counter puncher, but can still take a shot to the chin with the best of em.

      He took 2 of Mosleys best shots and even though he hung on for dear life he didn't panic one bit. The other 10 rds were hard to watch. Shane only had 6 minutes of fight in him.

        You obviously don't know ANYTHING about Roy Jones Jr. if you think the Tarver left was the first big shot he ever took. Just be quiet.

          Jones took big shots from Toney and Ruiz. He had no problem taking big shots before coming down from heavyweight.

            roy's chin wasn't granite but he could take a punch reasonably well

            floyd has been hurt before against Corley i don't think his chin is that solid but his ability to stay calm even when hurt is incredible though

              It's his fundamentals that seperates him from Jones IMO, Jones has no fundamentals to fall back on, Mayweather has.

                lol!! you compare that to the left from tarver?!
                I'm not gonna argue, but i'll tell you one thing WATCH JONES VS TARVER I. Plus jones never been hurt as a middleweight (his natural weight).

                  I said the same thing. When he came down from heavyweight back to 175, he was never the same. Also look what happened to Chris Byrd when he did the same thing. Something about dropping weight does something to the body and it ain't good for a fighter.
