40 year old,Shot,no legs,no stamina,diminished skill,walked in the ring upright,walked out without being stopped.I just can't blame him for it,I really can't.I knew he would lose,I expected him to get stopped.

I lost respect for Mosley, even though he isn't anywhere near the fighter he once was the guy only showed up to collect a pay cheque.Comment

IMHO shane didn't lose this fight because he was shot, he lost because he was shook. Dude felt that power and just tried to finish.
Now if he was trying something that wasn't very effective, his reflexes were poor or his overall timing and accuracy were off, then I would blame it on him being shot. But again, dude didn't even try.
So yeah, while I'm not gonna **** on him, I do feel he put up no effort what's so ever to win that bout. He knows he messed up in that fight, but I'm not gonna lie, I still wanna see him take on the Andre Berto's and Zab Judahs of the world to see if he is completely done as a fighter.
Loosing to Manny and Floyd isn't really as bad as most make it seem because prime fighters have been dominated by both in similar fashion.Comment

Agree with the TS......the sole responsible falls on Pac and his team for this facre.....once thiy signed the fight, it was upto Manny to show the world how shot Shane was by brutally beating him and stopping.....
In fact, i commend Shane for putting his health before anything else, especially at 39 years old and after two performances........he knew he wasnt gonna win and, unlike Margs, decided that he wasnt gonna get his face busted up just to prove he is a "warriror"Comment

Shane didn't lose because he was shot??Wow,maybe he was shook because he knew he was shot.If U ask urself if that was the same Mosley that fought Oscar,would he fight like that?What would U answer urself.That man is damn near 40 & got offered a huge payday to fight 1 of boxing's best,should he have refused the money offered him?I wouldn't & I don't think U would either.Originally posted by -Top Rank- View PostComment

I thought he might have looked ****ty vs Floyd and Mora cuz of their styles. I felt like vs Pac, he could do something cuz Manny will be there to fight. What shocked me is that Mosley fought like a coward. He didn't even try. He lost a fan, he needs to retire.Comment

Sorry but the guy ran for dear life. I mean, he's your last chance to beat the no.1 guy and he didn't even try. I don't care if he's way past his prime, everyone knew that, but showing no heart whatsoever is inexcuseable no matter what age you are.
Clottey showed more in the 3rd round against Pac than Shane did the whole fight. Pathetic.Comment

Sure does need to retire.But at the same time he got offered what 5 million or more from team Pacman to fight 1 of boxing's best & walked away without getting stopped,being shot & almost 40,why would u be mad at him for that??Originally posted by BoxeoBoriqua View PostComment

I try not to look at the age factor, but Shane isn't just 39, he's 39 with a lot of fights under his belt (54 fights to be exact). For a guy that's well past his prime, I actually thought he moved pretty well in that fight, maybe that has more to do with not expending much energy on the offensive end. Other than showing us he had the know how, which we all knew, to not get really beaten up, he didn't do much else. To tone down what happened, lets just say he got beat by 2 of the best welterweights and drew against a bad styles match-up in a junior middleweight.Comment

Maybe he deserves to not be ****ted on as much, but he most certainly doesn't deserve an ounce of respect.Comment
