Comments Thread For: Revisionist History: Everything Old is Shane Mosley Again

BIGPOPPAPUMP

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Funny… but this all seems kinda familiar.

It wasn’t all that long ago – following a couple desultory performances in title fights – that people started calling for the career head of a certain former multi-division world champion and contender for pound-for-pound supremacy.

His best days are behind him, the scribes wrote.

He’s going to get himself hurt, the experts opined.

Money is his only remaining motivation, the geniuses expressed.

Then at precisely the point where it seemed he’d been overmatched to the point of a legacy-encroaching championship-level beatdown, the tables were turned.

Instead of riding off into a lumpy-faced sunset, the very same former star summoned past greatness, ratcheted back time and took down a foe thought ready himself to be pronounced elite.

Then it was Antonio Margarito.

Now it’s Saul Alvarez.

And the song remains the same for a 40-year-old Shane Mosley. [Click Here To Read More]

Shane's PR mantra should be "I never lost to a Mexican". It might work and fool some people.

Shane get KO'd and then retires.

Shane wins this one. Everything he does is better. Name one thing he doesn't?

All right, i'll give you that. Workrate goes to Canelo

Shane will get beat up in this fight. He doesn't have a consistent jab to keep Alverez off of him and he's reluctant to throw his big right hand now. This fight would have been a mismatch back in Shane's prime. He had blazing speed and could KO his opponent with either hand. Now he's just a shell of himself. Its time for him to move on.

Any fighter willing to inject himself with roids for big fights should be perceived as a threat. At this point, he's got nothing to lose.

it boggles my mind when ppl say mosley had a comeback win with margarito.

mosley was done at that point too. taking margs plaster away made him look great.

why is margarito even getting fights anymore?

seriously somebody answer this question.

Why does Mosley's face look like a fat Chinese lady? This dude had some surgery done for sure. More than once. In regards to Shane winning this fight....... Not sure about that because he talked up a good one before he ran from Pacquiao and came up with mega excuses. I'm no fan of Canelo but his youth might be enough to beat Shane at this point.

Mosley better not use that same slappy, lazy jab, or he's getting KO'd by that straight right of Canelo.

Why does he keep saying he is the best out there? Floyd outclassed him, Pac ran him out of his warrior spirit. Time to retire with dignity champ.
