Shane Mosley? Seriously?

[johnm is...]

It's too early for this ****

You'll be alright.

[chito]

You're misunderstanding entirely.

"johnm is clever"

[johnm is...]

that's my point also. but johnm wants it to be really a newspaper headline "floyd destroyed shane"

And that only became your point after Reed said it.

If that were your point, why didn't you say so?

Then we could have hugged it out.

"johnm is clever"

Now you're starting to get me.

When you've had one fight in three years and haven't fought a welter in four...I'd say it evens out. But hindsight is 20/20. The bottom line is that Mosley was the #1 fighter in the division, had been avoided by the #2 and was ranked p4p #3. Oh, And Floyd was shamelessly ducking him.

Floyd was never ducking Shane, I never thought that. I was calling for Berto to beat Mosley and for Pac to beat Mosley prior to the Shane-Floyd matchup. I always assumed Floyd would dominate him. I dont understand this one fight in 3 years you're talking about either. Almost exactly 3 years prior to the Mosley fight Floyd beat DLH at '54. In the time from May of '07 to May of '10 Floyd fought DLH, Hatton and Marquez thats 3 fights. In that same time period Mosley fought Cotto, Mayorga and Margarito 3 fights. I understand fully why Floyd took the fight and it was a decent win, but it wasnt extraordinary.

Dude calls Pac out relentlessly after he KO'd Margarito.

Even says hed fight Pac at his trademark catchweights.

Then he goes on to get destroyed by Mayweather.

Then goes on to get embarassed by Mora.


Now all of sudden Pac steps up and wants to fight him? You seriously have to be kidding me.

Exactly. Mosley was this close to saying he would suck his penis dry if Manny only gave him the chance, and Manny still said "no dice".

That's how Team Pacquiao plays ball.

We disagree then.

We disagree then.

Fair enough I can appreciate a difference of opinion. I just dont see how the win could be huge for Floyd and 2 fights later Mosley doesnt even deserve to share the ring with Pacquiao.

Because Mosley was highly-ranked before the Mayweather fight, And after the fight he was lower ranked, He then went ahead and look even worse in his next fight, Thats why people dont want to see him share the ring with Pac, Add to the fact that we have watch Pac fight mediocre challenges in his last 2 fights..

Well then I can't help you. But I do see a pattern here. Get your a** busted, look real mediocre (against a mediocre fighter) and then...voila! Get a fight with Manny.
