I don't get it. After the second round, he lost all pop in his punches. He didn't even have much activity for the first two rounds. He might have overtrained (the guy looked like he wanted to sleep when they showed him in the locker room), but 2 rounds was all Mosley could bring to the ring?
Mayweather adjusted wonderfully. He actually respected Mosley power and put his hands up. He never does that, and started to potshot him.
Mosley has never been a great boxer. In fact, he fights like a Mexican. It isn't a diss, but he is a fighter. His natural reaction is to always let his hands go, but when he did there was a sizable speed difference and he would get hit.
I don't think it was about overtraining, Mayweather was just better than a 38 year old Mosley. No shame in that. Cotto was able to out punch him at times, and we can all agree that Mayweather is quicker than Cotto.
