Comments Thread For: Mosley Seeks Respect By Exploiting Mayweather's Flaws

[mazdaru]

Everybody knows all the greats lose, I'm so ****ing tired of hearing about it. Yeah Floyd is undefeated and its impressive but not as impressive as it could be had he fought the kind of competition that would compare to what Mosley has fought. But lets get some ****ing facts straight, it's not Floyd's fault he never fought a prime Mosley or Oscar. If they had accepted earlier we wouldnt be having this discussion but also remember this, Oscar when he fought Floyd was younger and was coming off a less than 1 yr lay off after destroying Mayorga. He's bigger than Shane, he's faster because he throws straigher more accurate punches. He hits harder (just ask their common opponents), he's a much better boxer and has the jab to bother Floyd. Shane is older than that and has a longer lay off so for you to descredit that Oscar win while making this fight out to be so dangerous is a joke. Shane's not winning this fight, and when he loses we'll be right back were we started because Shane is old and coming off a lay off...and rightfully ****ing so cuz wether thats Floyds faul or not, it still doesnt change the fact that Floyd never beat a great in their prime. Until Manny mans up and fights Floyd that wont happen, and even then there will be excuses but who cares? he's gotta fight either way. And this whole deal about Floyd being shook in the zab fight? and his corner begging him to calm down and all that? are you ****ing ******ed...that never happened. Floyd is a counter puncher but attacked Zab with a high guard exposing himself to being hit but he knew he could afford to do that because eventually he would discourage Zab and break him down cuz Zab can't stand pressure. Floyd's known him since they were kdis he knew exactly how to fight Zab. You dont know what the **** your talking about and I've heard this even the greats lose a million times before so your not saying anything new. Floyd will decision Mosley, he'll batter Manny. And have a few more fights and thats all he can do. He'll be compared to the greats but did he ever stand a chance at being loved like them? Not really when you consider the kind of competition guys like Leonard had and beat. Duran arguably a top 3-5 p4p of all time, Halger the best MW ever and a top 10 p4p all time. Hearns a top 20 all time freak of nature. Benitez another top 15 all time fighter and by far the greatest Rican boxer of all time. Stop comparing cuz Floyd will never live up to that

so, in order to be great, you have to lose? losing is greater than not losing? stuck on ******? i think you are

Idk about maywhether having flaws...and even he had flaws he surly don't show it..butone thing to sue he isn't 100% comfortable wit fast southpaws!!! And here's why in the Judah fight for the first half floyd looked a lil puzled in that fight just a bit cuz everytime floyd starts to throw he's spring hook against Judah either Judah will step back or he'll start circling floyd to the right and then when started to throw the jab to the body to set up the head and everytime floyd did that bam Judah throws a timed step back right hook and that was a punch floyd got knocked down he's glove hit the canvas and his knee almost did too..no he wasn't hurt at all but he seemed bothered by it and then Judah starts pawing wit his jab not a snappy jab but just *****g it out there and when floyd comits to come over it either Judah will step back or shoot a very fast jab and a blistering fast straight left and floyd got caught wit dis punch a couple of times not grazing shots but flush and after the straight left hand is the money punch to orthadox fighter and then Judah gets gases yet again and all of that gets flushed downed the toilet and the rest was history wit a couple of low blows well mosley sure has the speed and body attack to deal wit floyd but if..if shane catches floyd wit a vicious haymaker witch shane will throw and it lands god have mercy on floyd cuz shane doesn't have one punch ko but has one punch hurt power and lots of it...and wit shane coming into the ring around 160 just like margerito fight god dammm!!!! And don't forget his evil mastermind trainer that's puts together the perfect gameplan to beat opponents every friking time and u know what he always does!!! This gona b like omg shane killed floyd u bastarddddd!!

Shane & Floyd

This should be a good fight. Shane is right about Floyd having problems wit Zab. I watched that fight again last night and Floyd was on the verge of knocking Zab out.....But Shane is waaay better than Zab. I'm not saying Floyd can't beat Shane but what I am saying is Floyd gonna have some real problems on fight nite.

so, in order to be great, you have to lose? losing is greater than not losing? stuck on ******? i think you are

To be truly great you have to dare to fight the best possible opposition. Do you think Marciano was greater than Ali because Marciano never lost? Do you think Calzaghe was greater than Hagler because Calzaghe never lost? Almost all the great fighters in history (and all of the top 20 ATGs) have lost, because they dared to face the best possible opposition. Floyd is now doing so in Mosley, but before Mosley he had six entire years of not fighting the best opponents in his weight classes.

mosley and money both beat the same guy when they were on they way up in the lower weight classes in hernandez i'll give you that none of those guy's was on molsey level but honestly mosley would have beatin everyone floyd was in with in jr lw and lw so what are you saying by this money is yet to be in with someone on his level the close's he came to it was with goldenboy and that was not the same goldenboy who was in with shane not even close name me one fighter that money has been with you truly feel could hve beating mosley and be honest

I think a Shane Mosley at LW and a hungry Floyd looking to prove
something would have been a toss up fight at the time but I think
now Floyd conditioning is better than Shane's. Not taking anything
from Shane because he has fought some durable guys but who knows
who would have won at that time.

I'm not talking about dominating, but about speed. Nor am i say that Mosley's gameplan wasn't perfect, but to say "I'm fast just look at how i look compared to Marg" as justification that you can take it to Mayweather is foolish. No one has dominated Margarito but Mosley and Marg did hold his own against Williams and do his own damage against Cotto for the first half of the fight, but handspeed edge went to Cotto and Williams, as well as Mosley.

i really dont think mosley was comparing his hand speed to margs hand speed.

are you guys really that dense???

i think he was saying, check me out in the marg fight, i, MYSELF showed i still have great handspeed for MYSELF and was able to put together combinations like my old SELF

i mean seriously people

****, i have good hand speed compared to margacheato...

the most impressive thing was mosleys ability to have good hand speed, throw in combinations, something floyd hasnt done since judah, and, most importantly
he had massive power...
marg has a freaking beard, and shane destroyed him.....

that power will play over in the floyd fight, he may not get him out, but it does hamper your style and the things you want to do when u deal with a quick agile boxer with good sting....

[Mr Reality]

Should be a very good fight, but I doubt Shane is serious about out boxing Mayweather. Just pre-fight BS. Shane's best chance is winning by KO, however he has a small probablity of win by Decision.

I have it going to Mayweather by unanimous decision albiet close.

[royroy]

Omg this a just a business ploy of goldenboy promotions

Guys be smart..... Did you not see its coming...money big money for goldenboy promotions and fraud mayweather.
Mosley is gaining more money losing this fight than winning.
Mosley is part owner of goldenboy promotions....
All this is a part of a dirty theatrical play ....we all just being fooled. Remember that what i said.... All in the script..

[philb]

Sugar shane should use this song as his ring entrance song come May, hahaha, pure comedy!



That man got too much class tho to do that....

Liar

Mosley is full of **** lol. The fight he is talking about is Floyd Mayweather vs Carlos Alberto Ramon Rios from February 1999. Shane Mosley was a guess announcer for the fight and was **** riding Floyd the whole night actually. The problem is, the fight was aired on TNT, not no ****ing FX. So how exactly will FX produce a mystery interview when FX was barely a cable station back then? LOL, LIAR.
