The guy wasn't on the canvas?
I was trying to remember if I was recalling the same fight.
I don't think the ropes keeping a guy from being flat on his face on the canvass is the that much the same as being stunned momentarily
It's true though, you don't have to touch the canvass to be stopped of course but in the situation of Mayweather-Mosely, he wasn't even close to being "knocked out", he was hit with a big shot and stunned for around 5-10 seconds.

Everyone talks about how great Shane was at 135, but he was facing relatively soft opposition, and he was pretty damn good at 147 until he faced Forrest. Shane looked sensational from the Wise fight up to the Stone fight at 147, and probably the best ever against DLH at 147, who was by leaps and bounds the best fighter he had ever faced at that point.
Mayweather was still the smarter fighter, more technically skilled, and I'd favor him to win a competitive decision. Shane will give Floyd problems with his speed and power but Floyd has the better adapting ability and ring IQ.

Floyd was by far the more proven fighter at those weights and comments like he would run all night and mosley would KO him when mayweather has touched the canvas once from a punch his entire career are comments based on emotion rather than logic and based on heresay rather than even seening fights from that era themselves.
Its not that shane ****** or anything, its that the gap in quality of opposition at those weights is pretty big and people are ignoring it.
Yeah Valero would spark floyd with one hand behind his back too because he has a ton of knockouts at 135 nevermind who they were against.
