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.


      1) tarver was still in his prime when he fought rjj, mosley wasn't
      2) rjj was coming down in weight, floyd has never come down in weight

      so you can't compare rjj/tarver to floyd/mosley.

            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

            I Agree with this.

            He responded very well after being hit with two good shots. But mayweather isn't the first person to ever be caught with a big right from mosley. I would suspect his chin isn't as good as some people claim. He does respond well after being hurt though.

              just look at cotto, he hit his prime during the marg fight and lost it that same night. he's in his late 20's but past his prime.

              roy jones jr. before moving down from heavyweight was a BEAST btw.

              watch more boxing my friend,
              you're looking pretty ******ed with these posts
              thank you, this mans understanding of the sport obviously isnt up to snuff.

                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.
                Actually, I think Floyd's chin is very weak, which is the primary reason he fights so defensively. He very seldom gets hit with any big shots, but in these few instances in which he does, he seems to always get hurt. He's just so smart that he knows to hold on until he gets through it. He got hit with 1 big, flush shot against Mosley and was hurt, but I don't remember him being hit flush again for the rest of the fight.
