Floyd did. It's gave me an idea. Manny got frustrated at not being able to hit Mosley. He did not have a plan B. Mayweather is alot harder to hit than Mosley so you've gotta think about how Pacquiao will cope with Mayweathers movement and counter punching. My opinion, Mayweather on points, late stoppage or even stoppage by cuts

You need only look at Mosley to see what he thought. Mosley has never really been a runner yet after he felt a few of Manny's punches he ran all night. Floyd did not have Mosley so scared as to run away from him due to his less aggresive style,Mosley was happy to take his chances against Floyds attacks but did not know where Pacquiaos punches would be coming from,thus not knowing what to do with them so he opted to run.
Pacquiao had Mosley on the floor then running for his life scared.
Mayweather simply did his usual relaxed hit and not be hit won convincingly but did not have Mosley scared.

Manny was sloppy, but a sloppy Manny hurt Shane bad in the 3rd, had Mosley in full retreat afterwards, and petrified of getting knocked out. A sharp shooting, top of his game Money had Mosley frustrated. I'm going with Manny, but that's just my opinion. I'm a Pac fan. But I'm not so sure about the judges for both fights, they're nuetral and they had Pac winning a wider decision, even though according to Floyd fans, he showed that he's a "one dimensional fighter" that hasn't improved since Marquez.

Manny had Shane running away, while Mosley stood with Floyd in the pocket and didn't run.
Pacquiao did more damage

He would only need a plan B if Mosley's "elusiveness" was also coupled with any type of offense. Any fighter can run away from his opponent - Mosley was just flat out more afraid of Pac than he was of Mayweather, and for good reason. Mosley actually made Floyd's legs buckle with a hard shot, whereas Manny was never in any danger and actually knocked Mosley down.

Well Pacquiao and Mayweather have different styles. Considering their styles, Mayweather was much more impressive. No one expected Mayweather to get a knock down or even a TKO because he is a lesser puncher who doesn't take any more risks than he has to.
Pacquiao on the other hand with the way Shane Mosley was performing, you would expect Pacquiao to completely destroy him but he didn't. It looked that way because Mosley didn't really do anything but compared to what happened in his previous fights, he did not destroy Mosley.Instead it was a horrible performance compared to his previous fights. Pacquiao got a knock down which isn't shocking considering his style. Mayweather went an entire round without being hit, despite the fact that he was standing right in front of Mosley. It doesn't matter what style you have, there are only 2 people in compubox history to ever do that

Difficult to assess when your opponent waltzes around the room for the most part. I used to think Mohammad Ali was the only one who knows how to dance the waltz, until I saw Moseley last night. Manny knocked out Shane in the third round. Shane pushed Manny down and got credit for it.

in case you think of of a prior out of his perfect shane is the biggest threat to Mayweather you could desire to no longer persist with too plenty boxing? How a pair of youthful perfect Manny Pacquiao? genuinely percentis better powerful than Mosley ideal now

Manny knocked mosley down. But it was difficult for him to catch him. Still it shows Manny's got power and it only takes one to get in and change the momentum of the fight. Floyd has amazing defense but will he really block a 9 punch combo everytime? Somethings gonna get in.

Manny knocked Shane down with a minor left hand. Shane started running, hugging, and back pedaling.
Manny wanted to fight toe to toe for the people. Floyd will just run and run and run just to survive and collect the paycheck.
