Don King is in talks with GBP, this is the fight that should be on May 31st instead of Judah. Mosley took less money to fight Zab and turned Mayorga down. Looks like everything has changed now that Judah is hurt.
If this is what Golden boy Promotions is all about, then the future of boxing is looking rather bleak.

Wanna fight a sparring partner? ~ sure..sign the contract.
Wanna fight senior citizens? ~ sure ..sign the contract.
F**k I know you are fighting at Bantam weight, but if you could somehow pack on a FEW pounds to meet me at a catch weight just south of the Welters, we have a deal ~ suuuuure...SIGN THE CONTRACT
Mayorga can knock Shane Mosley out.
I know Mosley has got a very very good chin, but he ain't the same fighter no more. He hang with Cotto, but that's a year ago and he only got older (so did Mayorga) but I would slightly favor Mayorga, with his chin heart and power.
But it is a toss up for me.
if mosley beats mayorga, he will probably phone vernon forrest, and say "hahahaahahahahhahaahahahahaahahahahahaahah!!!!!"
LOL, and then take a phone camera picture of his ass and send it to Viper.
can Mayorga even make 147?? he has had trouble making weight....if this fight happens i wont be shocked if he comes in over weight.
Shane should fight Clottey instead
Mayorga would have to starve just to make 154. A few years ago he had to take illegal drugs just to get there. People who think he'll ever be a welterweight again are living in Fantasyland.
A good fight, but one Mayorga will lose. he just can't deal wit a skilled boxer. If he could force Shane into a brawl he'd have a chance of gettin a KO, but Shane's always had a good chin. I wouldn't mind seein that fight.

If this fight happens, Mosley would look great on his way to winning, Mayorga's style to perfect for him.
Mosley can hit Mayorga 3 or 4 times straight down the middle when Mayorga is throwing his wide, looping shots.
I totally agree. Judah's speed and southpaw style is a much bigger threat to Mosley than the way overrated Mayorga. If Shane can make as much money fighting Mayorga then Zab getting hurt was a huge break for him because a Mayorga fight is easy money.

this is a good fight to make mosley look really good. just like it did for oscar. me and a few of my friends were saying that mayorga and mosley should fight to help build up his fight for cotto before they fought, i guess they were saving mayorga for a time like this.
even though mayorga isnt on the level and i guess he always has a punchers chance, but he can sell a fight, everyone wants to see him get his block knocked off, i think it would be a decent move just for the sake of building up on something soon after.
it's like fernando vargas, he can sell fights, he's good and has heart, but isnt on that level, and goes out guns a blazin!!!
This will be a MUUUUCH harder fight then you guys think.
Mosley doesnt have great boxing ability, he is a fighter... but so is Mayorga. Should be a wild brawl while it lasts. But i think Mosleys body attack wears down Mayorga for a very late round stoppage, or clear but entertaining decisions
Better Mayorga than Gomez, lol.
Mayorga will be a threat to anyone as long as he's breathing.
Hey, (off topic for a sec.) has anyone heard talks about Mayorga - Forrest III?
Mayorga said hes below him and why help him out with a big fight. Hes already beatin him twice, why fight him again?
I myself think Forrest-Mayorga3 will happen some time in the next year. Thats if Mayorga doesnt get anymore huge fights. Forrest says he wants Mayorga in every interview he gives. Mayorga could care less.
I don't think Mayorga could get his weight down to an agreeable number to fight by 5/31. Shane will wipe up the ring with him anyways.
You should take that young child out of your avi.
To who ever brought up the Vargas fight, Vargas was beating Mosley on the cards before they stopped the frist fight. Thats when Vargas was weight drained down to a sick state of 154. Mayorga beat a non weight drained Vargas at 175 lbs at the age of 29. I think Mayorgas win was more impressive. Vargas was huge and that helped to soak up the damage of Mayorga but Ricardo still put him down twice and made him fight defensive. Remember how the was going to be called the brawl? Mayorga lived up to it, vargas didnt.
if mosley beats mayorga, he will probably phone vernon forrest, and say "hahahaahahahahhahaahahahahaahahahahahaahah!!!!!"
Then Forrest will remind Shane that he beat him twice in the pros and beat him in the amateurs too and the laughing will stop.
