Leonard Ellerbe: "We're not interested in Mosley, he doesn't draw any kind of crowd"

[Glamour Puss]

That was one of the worst articles I have ever read.

I was thinking the same thing jammer. The writer was writing an obvious op ed disguised as journalism.

Mosley did what he should've done. He helped his case not hindered it, now it will only make Floyd ducking him all the more graphic.

doesn't make it any less true....

We all know it's going to be cotto or manny. If Cotto beats manny he will become a way bigger name in boxing and will set up a mega fight. If manny wins well we all know it would be the biggest fight in the sport.

obviously....i don't get what's so hard to understand. shane's wasting his time, and looks desperate while doing so.

main **** that..shane came up in the ring in floyds face and called him out..THIS FIGHT HAS TO HAPPEN..floyd if you dont fight him you will lose alot of respect..i can understand if you fight pacman first and let shane fight berto fight..then you and shane can fight and there will be 3 belts on the line..wbo,wbc,wba...now thats a **** fight for the fall of 2010

Of course. Mosley would beat Berto have the WBC and IBF belt. Mayweather would beat Pacquiao or Cotto win the WBO and the diomand paper belt, then Mosley vs Mayweather becomes a fight for the undisputed WW title. Sounds like a good idea to me. Also IMO if any man pulls that on you you have to fight him.

**** shane mosley. a desperate man, pulling a disrespectful and desperate act. fighting him, is what shane hopes would get accomplished by that b.s. he pulled. he shouldn't be rewarded for being a bitc#......he needs to fight somebody, anybody.....beating margarito doesn't thrust him into any power position, not when he still has a loss to cotto to avenge.

can you just explain somethin to me

2 years ago mosley in a interviw with merchant gets asked would he fight mayweather in november ...starts talkin bs about how 5months isnt enough time then starts saying he has toothache

now floyd is the 1 afraid

they convieniently forget this.

Um....yeah...so the BIG question becomes.....if the winner of cotto-pac doesnt fight Mayweather.....who else is there for Mayweather to fight????

He may as well go back to retirement now if he's just gonna pull the same bull**** over and over. If Pacquiao wins...there's several options for him at 140 including a 3rd Marquez fight, and 147 as well. If Cotto wins there's Clottey and Mosley rematches.

Who does Floyd fight if he doesnt want Mosley???

no, the question is, WHO WILL THE WINNER OF PACMAN_COTTO FIGHT IF THEY DON'T FIGHT MAYWEATHER???

u sound ******.....neither of those guys will make anyhere near the amount of money fighting shane, berto, marquez, clottey, tim bradley, mikkel kessler, roy jones, david haye.....or whoever the hell else they decided to fight, instead of mayweather.....

Mosley hasnt fought in a year vs the other WW's...why is he ducking Berto?

[El Jesus]

It was not wrong of Mosley to get on the microphone and say that a fight between the two of them would be a mega event. He did not get on the mic and say 'I'll beat you any day of the week, Floyd.'. He was invited into the interview by HBO and he was respectful, said his words and was backing off.

What happened was all because of Bernard Hopkins and his big mouth.

The article is just trash, making it out like Shane is a bully. He never disrespected Floyd. All he disrespected was Floyd's precious ego.

And why would Shane 'concede the stage' at the post-fight conference. He's a member of GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS. He's ALWAYS on the stage post-fight.

Just a dumb article in my opinion.

Anyway I'm glad that what happened, happened. Floyd had cheated on the scales and I don't blame HBO for instigating a fight with a real welterweight.

I agree alot of it was hopkins, so i can see where you are coming from. Boss Hop was in there pushing his guy so he can cake off of the fight as a goldenboy ceo. In all honesty, that type of disrespect does fuel interest though, i certainly dont give a **** about a pac/mayweather fight after saturday. I have been waiting for SSM and PBF to get it on since they were both on the cover of ring ****zine togther, it was either ring of KO monthly.

It got him fights, just not the ones he wanted, he didint want williams, berto etc, he wanted pac or mayweather, he wants the huge payday and didint do anything to stay busy in between that. I cant say i feel super sorry for him because he wanted the hugest payday, while thats understanable, there were other fights in between he could have taken to help rise his stock.

I'm not sure that at his age, fights with Berto and Williams would do much more for his status. Paul Williams maybe but that's someone no one below 160 wants to fight and he isn't exactly a name.

I also find it interesting that Ellerbe is saying here that Mayweather and Mosley will fight. Could the other article be wrong?

[L.Ellerbe]

lets just use a bit of common sense and accept that he will prolly fight mosley

[S A M U R A I]

Why do you feel that way? You dont think it was out of place for mosley and hopkins to do something like that? I certainly did.

I feel the same way as Starjammer. Terrible article, incredibly biased towards Floyd. Journalists are supposed to report news while remaining neutral, not telling us how shameful Mosley's behavior was. Totally crap article written by someone who obviously can't get his tongue any further up Floyd's ass than it already is.

Mosley deserves a fight. End of story.

Mosley hasnt fought in a year vs the other WW's...why is he ducking Berto?

He just beat the baddest man in the division impressively.

Mosley ducking Berto??

Are you ***ing serious?

wait i thought P Will was the baddest man? Oh Margarito the cheat? He beat a man who wore concrete in his gloves...that win was not GREAT...

he isnt ducking Berto? Floyd was retired and this was his first fight back. Mosley hasnt defended his WW title and is waiting for Mayweather & Pac also he already lost to Cotto...lol

TELL ME WHY MOSLEY TURNED DOWN FIGHTS VS P Will? Clottey & Berto?>

[Sin City]

after the whole incident after the fight, they definitely have garnered some interest in the clash.. I think people would want to see this after what happened that night.
