Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley Discusses His Depature From Golden Boy

[adp023]

Good for Shane!!! He's working the system and he's smart enough to have all his paperwork in order. Golden Boy's legal team would jump on Shane immediately if he was in breach of anything. It looks like Shane will be working Top Rank for the remainder of his career, win or lose against Pacquiao. Shane wants rematches with Cotto and Margarito!!

Mosley is a quitter and a soft patsy who gave up against Floyd jr and embarrassed himself and his legacy. Golden Boy was embarrassed over Mosley. The stench of Mosley quitting will never be removed from his name. Mosley's legacy is that of a quitter. Mosley is a house slave obedient to Arum now who owns him. Prince is a pimp nothing more a street pimp.

Mosley didn't quit against Floyd. He just gassed out after the 4th round and went in survival mode. Quitting is what Oscar did against Pacquiao! In fact, Shane went all out in the 12th and I thought he won that round. If anything, I blame Floyd for not stepping up and finishing Shane when he was there for the taking!!

A great team Mosley the quitter and Prince the Pimp along with 80 year old Arum. Boxing needs new blood like Golden boy and new names like Berto-Bradley-Khan. Mosley is nothing more than a soft house slave to whitey a yes man weak with little intestional fortitude and courage. He flat out quit against Floyd.

Its not all that hard to see when a person has QUIT in the ring.

When one has given his best shot and its not working he may go into survival mode.

Mosley , whom, I thought wasn't a quitter, QUIT in the Mayweather fight. He had him going and when May came back it was OVER.

A great example of someone who is GAME, is Maidana. He was down in the first and most stay down from that liver shot, De la Hoya stayed down from one that was not that bad, many have called it a day and QUIT from that shot, but one who is GAME never believes he is LOSING the fight no matter what and Maidana got up unafraid,,, got his wits back and never QUIT.

I have a tremendous RESPECT for MAIDANA !! A FAN !!!

Mosley has a shot, one punch from his heavy hands can turn the world upside down for any fighter but once you QUIT you will QUIT QUICKER THE NEXT TIME OUT. IF Mosley can't get that shot in soon and devastate Pac early like in the first couple of rounds then it will be dreadful for him.

The best example of this is the Two Tyson vs HOLYFIELD FIGHTS.

I don't think Pac was in great shape for Margo, he must from now on out get in his best shape because due to the severity of his fights , fighting bigger men, and the wars he has been in , his age creeping up , he is at his most vulnerable time for an upset.

I am saying if he won't be 100 percent in his training camps then RETIRE.

Everyone is gunning for him but Mayweather, he is hiding, you can't half ass a training camp EVER again PAC.

It's very sad to see Mosely with James Prince. I don't believe anyone's career has benefited from working with Prince (see Mayweather, Dawson and I'm sure many others). Sure he'll get the Pacquiao fight (which he prob coulda got without Prince) and he'll fork over way too much of his purse to Prince for doing nothing. A couple years from now we'll hear about how Prince is suing Mosely for more money or how Prince's goon beat up someone in Mosely's camp... not the ending I woulda picked for Shane.

Yes I believe Floyd quit in that fight, since we seem to be making things up today.

Sounds a lil condescending and racist to me.....GBP hasnt done **** for it to be at the top. Everyone complains that TR does inhouse fights, well GBP does the same, aint no different, and so do many other promoters who have a big stable of fighters...

Berto is garbage until he steps up competition imo...
Bradley is good, but we'll see how good he is after the Alexander fight.
Khan? I'm still not sold on him, especially after his fight with Maidana. He fought a smart/good fight in the begining, but after he started eating leather, he ran, held and ran again....not what i like to see from a champ.

[mushahadeen]

I don't blame Shane for going after the paycheck, publicity. I would do the same in his position.

But this is a bull**** fight.

[WESS]

What it boils down to is that Golden Boy was attempting to get the fans a better match up. Mosley didn't like the FACT that he doesn't deserve a fight with Pac and Golden Boy was trying to get JMM a fight who is at least coming off a win.

Nobody can bash Golden Boy as they where at least trying to get the better match up. Leave it to TOP RANK to avoid the best let a lone better choices. Again Team Pac will duck and dodge yet again.

Pac's little fanboys are getting more outraged as the fact that Floyd IS on vacation and going to court isn't the one ducking here. Pac's picking and choosing fighters AT certain weight classes AT certain weights. They avoided Mosley when he was "too good" but waited for him to age, look not so good and coming off a lose and a draw?

What's to say they're avoiding Mayweather who lets say is "too great" NOW and waiting for him to be not so "great" later just as they did with Mosley?

Or is it that Team Pac/Top Rank don't like to deal (share money) with Golden Boy let alone Mayweather himself?

Either way its Pac and or Top Rank's fault for not getting fights made with the best fighters out there, weather that be Mayweather (AT 147), Martinez (AT 154), Berto (AT 147), JMM (AT 140), Alexander/Bradley (At 140-147).


Don't be mad, accept that Pac is picking and choosing fighters AT certain weight classes AT certain weights. Stop denying it and step up and admit it. Avoid the hype and shyt that Top Rank is spoon feeding boxing and start demanding that the best fight the best. Something Pac isn't doing, and hasn't been doing..... The fans need to accept this FIRST, then act accordingly by not supporting it.

Its still disappointing that Mosley thinks he deserves a shot. I mean anyone would do it because of the money that is involved but really Golden Boy was putting there man aside for a fighter that deserved a shot OVER Mosley. That tells you that Golden Boy is still some what doing the RIGHT thing here while Mosley is trying to get paid, GBP is trying to get the more deserving of the two a shot. I like Mosley but his time has came and went. Floyd ended Mosley's last chance at the top. Now Pac wants the credit AFTER he already ducked him.

[THE REED]

GBP were pushing for JMM and when your not that guy but kinda with that same promo company that's a snuff in the face. Words from Schaefer like he turned his back on us sound like someone wanting to be a complete monopolist and bulleye to me. You can easily say the same the other way round as they didn't really do much for Mosely in terms of landing that fight.

And if they're bad relationship with Top Rank is what was also blocking it, then why on earth should a boxer not leave and just get it done amicably without GBP?

Completely understandable and it's pretty shabby GBP would behave in such a way once it's happened.

Mind you, you could say Arum is also being awkward and hoping guys go out on there own, but hey, whatever. I think the outcome is good for boxing, less people with 2 tricky promoters and more competition & fights being made.

I do agree with your overall argument, but GBP did just land Mosley the Floyd fight 6 months ago...
