What About Mayweather-Mosley?

Mosley didnt look old in his fight against Cotto, he put up a good, hard fought battle and came up just short. I don't think he could beat Floyd, but do to his incredible speed, I see him giving Floyd a few problems here and there. I agree. I think mosley is not as mosley of 5 years ago but, he will still give mayweather more problems than anyone else right now. Maybe Forrest as well would give him alot of problems but I think hand speed and power is what its gonna take against may, and mosley has the best of that from anyone in welterweight and super welterweight right now.

and besides, the cotto fight was a tie if anything. just cuz judges rewarded cotto, doesn't mean they are right. and if you are a boxing fan you should know this.

Specifically in this case I think Cotto fought like a man who deserves the next prize and Mosley did not. Shane needs to get an impressive win or performance or sit the fuck down. This is the playoffs in the number one division in the sport. mosley needs to get an impressive win to get a shot? hows about, dlh TWICE. hows about former p4p king. He deserves to get a shot before he is too too old cuz now he's just too old.

I happened to think that Mosley looked either old or weird against Cotto. Either way, I seem to be in the minority and alot of people thought it was a close fight in which Shane showed very well in. If thats the case then would you accept it if Floyd fought him? I personally think Floyd will fight Cotto but on his time. I also think that Floyd is the best in the sport at mind games and that Arum's disses wont make Floyd budge one bit. Many people including myself have always wanted to see Floyd vs Mosley. I think the Hatton fight was the 1st time that Floyd felt pretty secure at WW. I honestly believe thats why he didnt fight Margarito. He didnt fight him because at the time he was just a super small WW that couldnt even come in at the WW limit and didnt want to lose just because he was too small. The fact is he'll never be a real WW let alone a big strong one but I do think him moving up to fight Oscar at 154 made his body grow. Maybe part of it was because Hatton was a small guy but Floyd looked much more bigger then he did against Zab & Baldy. However, I dont think one fight is enough to fully prove it to himself. By fighting Shane 1st he can again judge better his size & strength at WW without going against one of the super big guys right now. It will be a nice payday and he will have beat a guy that alot of people said he was scared to fight. In the meantime Cotto beats Clottey and it sets up the huge Cotto vs Mayweather fight. Williams can fight Quintana and then he can fight the winner of the Margarito-Cintron rematch. Then maybe the winners can meet or by that time Zab will have built his name back up and Williams can fight Zab will Floyd takes a few months off and then its Williams vs Floyd to finish it off. You cant say that Floyd would be fighting Cotto's scraps because Cotto has fought a ton of guys after Floyd did and alot of people still think Shane would beat Floyd or give him hell. Would you be fine with it? Specifically in this case I think Cotto fought like a man who deserves the next prize and Mosley did not.

I think most people would rather see Floyd-Cotto now. I thought Mosley would beat Cotto but that didn't happen. Floyd doesn't have to fight him now.

this is one of those fights whos luster has phizzled away. but for some reason I still want to see it. mayweather should've fought him a long time ago or atleast before cotto. I've been pulling for this fight for atleast 3 years. This is very frustrating about boxing nowadays. Back in the days, you got what you wanted. Ali fought the top 10 heavyweight boxers of his day. Robinson fought the top fighters, even some more than 5 times. I still think mayweather has more talent than any fighter I've ever seen but, he needs to give me what I(a die hard boxing fan) want, and what I want is for him to fight the top 8 current fighters that are in a fightable weight class for him: Cotto, Williams, Forrest, Witter, Margarito, Clottey, De La Hoya(rematch) and..... Mosley. Is that too much to ask? I mean ppl paid less for more back in the days, why can't I get this? Boxers are paid way more now and do less to earn it. According to todays boxers paychecks, Robinson would be a billionaire. Is anyone else feeling my pain?

Nice fight to watch but totally unnecessary to boxing right now. Skill wise Floyd is still Floyd!! & wit the Hatton fight, KO Delight Special-UK-fish-&-chips-wrapped-in-newspaper-type-sh*t, Money look like he's even better than before. Shane, who's Shane?? Chain-snatch, jive talkin', madicon muthaf*&%ah, who's he beatin'?? Who's he BEAT?? Shane is the guy you're talkin' bout, use to have skills, speed, power, killah combos throughout the fight, all sorts of tactics wit the clinchin & the spinnin. On top of that, MONEY's up here & SHANE's down here these days, why fight other than on some De La Hoya/Floyd, Tarver beatin' up Rocky, exhibition-type sh*t?? Now can u Dig Dat????:boxing:

Would you be fine with it?sont want to see it at this point. shane has lost a step, and although he is still very good he is not good enough to beat floyde. floyd needs either cotto, cintron, or williams so he can unify!

An aging great fighter against a young bull; that was Mosley-Cotto. You're right, Shane put up a good, close fight against the younger man but just couldn't quite pull out a victory. I don't think Shane was disgraced in any way. That said, I don't see the purpose behind Mosley-Mayweather now. Let me tell you why: In every single fight there's always a chance you can lose. One punch rattles you too much, something is wrong with your game that night, and injury stops you while you're behind on the cards...Mayweather knows that. Floyd only fights mega-money fights and Shane is not a star like he used to be. Cotto-Mosley did respectable, not amazing, in PPV numbers - and Cotto was the draw. What do I think of Mayweather-Mosley? I think Floyd would get eaten alive by the media and fans for taking Cotto's scraps rather than signing to fight him- and the risk would be higher than the reward. The money wouldn't be there, the respect wouldn't be there, the reasons are just slim at this point. It won't happen. i agree, floyd would get ripped by the media big time. i dont see it happening either.

I wouldn't mind seeing the fight but there are much better fights out there for Mayweather and he won't get the credit for beating Mosley because of Mosley's loss to Cotto. Mayweather wins a clear UD in a competitive fight.

lost interest after seeing Cotto beat Mosley Same with me I was all gung ho about a Mayweather/Mosely fight, but even though Sugar Shane put up a great fight against a young fighter in Cotto, he wasn't as fast as he used to be and his reflexes were slower. Mayweather would win, maybe not by total blowout, but he would win rather comfortably.

lost interest after seeing Cotto beat Mosley

Cotto clearly beat Mosley and outboxed him. Floyd would win even more convincingly. Mosley is damn near shot.

How about Mosley-Margarito, to see how shot he really is.

i would accept, but y would mayweather fight mosley?

Shane Mosley is nothing but a good name anymore. He just lost to a champion, why should he get another shot ? I'd say he needs to beat somebody before having the rights to call him a contender for Mayweathers crown. A loss ain't gonna earn you nothing but a rematch, not a shot at a different champion.

yea this is still a good fight.

He still didn't looked as fast as usual and his timing wasn't there Neither were his reflexes. It was a very game Shane though so I won't elaborate further than that.
