Floyd MayweatherFloyd Mayweather Jr. critics have always said that he maintains a perfect record, because he won't go after the best fighters. Mayweather proved them wrong in Las Vegas on Saturday, with his dominating win over Shane Mosley Saturday night.

His critics, though, almost had the upper hand in the second round when a powerful right hand from Mosley hit him square in the jaw and buckled his knees. Fans remarked that they had never seen Floyd hit that hard and speculation that Shane may be the fighter to finally bring him down abounded.

But Mayweather came in to the third round undaunted, with a confidence and ferocity that turned the fight toward his favor. From then on, it became increasingly clear that there potentially isn't a fighter alive that can match the quickness, skill and focus of Mayweather, who eventually won a 12-round decision over Mosley in their welterweight showdown.
The question of whether Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao has the juice to beat him was on the lips of spectators and fans alike as they witnessed the pummeling of a fighter with the strength, speed, and skill of Shane Mosley. I would have to say, judging from the lesson Mayweather taught Mosley on Saturday, that would be a no.
