Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley-Floyd Mayweather: Pre-Fight Report Card

[Mr. Invincible]

By Cliff Rold - After seeing planned encounters in 1990 and 1991 fall apart, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson finally consummated a years-long rivalry in 1996. Promoter Don King didn’t come up with a title like “Brawl in Montreal” or “Thrilla’ in Manila,” instead opting for the obvious.

The fight was dubbed, simply, “Finally.”

The folks at Golden Boy Promotions have gone a little more fan interactive this weekend, the fight being promoted under the moniker “Who R U Picking?” but stealing “Finally” would have felt more like it even if falling short of full honesty. [Click Here To Read More]

Lol @ the author.......

He says Mosley is not the same guy from the late 90's and then proceeds to spout off him performing like he is. Funny to me.

Floyd by semi-easy UD.

Need proof? Mosley wasn't able to close the gap effectively against Cotto and Mayweather does everything better than Cotto aside from maybe throwing his power shots to the body.

You clearly don't know what the word "proof" means. The reason this fight is so big is that most people think that Mosley has been rejuvenated since he fought Cotto and Mayorga, and that he is close to his prime form again, based on the Marg fight. IOW, most people think that he is not the same fighter who lost to Cotto. You may disagree with them, but that's just a matter of opinion, and can't be proved.

but Mosley is still a great, still the # 1 WW and to some arguably the #1 P4P fighter in the world. When Mayweather defeats him people will have no choice and no option but to give Mayweather credit. Mayweather will truly bring out the greatness in Mayweather.

Pac will have no option but to fight Mayweather regardless of what tests will be done because ALL ROADS will lead to Mayweather.

Based on his whole career, yes. How much he has left is another question. His win over Margarito may have been misleading, both because Margarito couldn't possibly have been fully focussed, after being caught trying to cheat, and because of the style match-up. He didn't look nearly as good in his previous two fights.

still the # 1 WW

Not according to The Ring.

and to some arguably the #1 P4P fighter in the world.

I haven't seen any P4P list anywhere that has him higher than 3.

When Mayweather defeats him people will have no choice and no option but to give Mayweather credit.

He certainly deserves credit for taking the fight against a genuinely dangerous opponent for the first time for many years. As for the fight itself, it depends on how the fight goes.

Pac will have no option but to fight Mayweather regardless of what tests will be done because ALL ROADS will lead to Mayweather.

All roads for both fighters lead to the other fighter, but both fighters' negotiating positions are so entrenched and so far apart that I'd be astonished if the fight ever happens. But we'll see.

5 L, 38 YO and has admitted using PEDS (but without PEDS tonight). how to give a credit on that win?

[SIZE="3"] The illiterate Pacquiao still doesn't understand how blood testing works. So May & Moz would just get together again for big money. Think GBP would have a problem with that?

So you (GBP and the mayweathers) are literate enough to asked for a USADA testing because Pac might be on roid without any proof. Good on you mate!

And assuming you are not a Filipino, can you read, write and speak even a broken language that Pac use? if not, then who is the illiterate now?

Wise man. All props to Floyd...beautiful performance from a genuine great.

Pre-fight report card was a f**king joke. Mayweather will technically destroy Pac and if he RUNS like a "little" bytch (again) that he is, people wont be so forgiving this time.

Mosley is great, Pac is great BUT neither are Mayweather great! Haters man the **** up and give praise to the king.

Boxing WILL CHANGE. The NEW drug standard will be just that. A standard. Pac, man the **** up you ***** and take the random drug test so you can get your ass handed to you like a little scared bytch that you are.

god, I love talking ****~!
