Next For Shane?

who should shane mosley fight next, i really hope he doesnt fight Floyd, cause floyd would run errrrr........ box all night. Mosley is a boxer puncher so im hoping he fights exciting fighters like Berto or the winner of hatton pacman. im looking at the big picture now, i want big fights to bring attention back to boxing. Even though i dont really like Margarito but he brings a lot of action to fights. Hopefully MArgarito comes back and fights Paul Williams or Cotto again. Even though hes the best out there, but Floyd doesnt appeal to the casual fan or the sports fan whos leaning towards MMA now. The die hard fan may love the sweat science, hit and dont get hit, but in reality thats not what the majority want. People want to see more fights like the Mosley-MArg fights. Not the Oscar-Floyd fights. For example, Ricardo Mayorga is a class B fighter but his style will catch peoples atention. Another fighter is Edison Miranda. He seems like he cant beat the elite but hes extremly exciting and should be put against big name opposition like Jermain Taylor or Jeff Lacy. Fights like this are the ones that will bring boxing back to the front page. another point id like to make is Chris Arreola. Hes a fat slob who just brawls and will probably get raped by the Klitchskos, but hey hes exciting and brings in huge crowds. I think he should be showcased a lot on HBO.

right now i dont even care about a tournament or deciding whos the top dog. Im more about improving the ratings for boxing and bringing more fans to the fight, so any action packed fight that will catch any non die hard boxing fan im good.

the fkd up thing is, Hatton would probably take the fight I really don't see hatton beatin mosley....mosley's hand speed again would be the key in this fight and his strength...mosley is a big guy for a WW and hatton isn't big when he moves up 2 147....The best probable fight for shane wud b a cotto rematch just because it wud validate his claim at being the best at WW...the 3 fighters in the triangle offence (margarito,cotto,mosley) need to beat the fighters who beat thm because they will always have those losses hangin over their heads..but lookin at it mosley comes out best in this because his loss wasnt spectacular and was even debatable....i wanna see P Punisher Dub come bck down and add his name into the equation...

I would love to finally see an unification tournament in this division. Round one would see a rematch of Cotto-Mosley and Berto-Clottey. A fight between winners would bring some of the credibility lost to Margacheato's plaster-Kos back to the welterweight division. And who knows? Maybe that The Ring belt should finally be in play.

Yeah....ouch. Mosley really would smash Ricky all over the place, he could stop him really early too. Considering he had Margarito on shit legs after about 20 seconds of the first round. If Mosley got into the same kind of rhythm against Hatton, he'd only be able to take about a quarter of what Margs took. Mosley also tied up Margarito very effectively inside, it would be even easier against the smaller Hatton. I hope we never see Hatton/Mosley. the fkd up thing is, Hatton would probably take the fight

I think shane should lobby for either a mayweather fight or cotto rematch. Both are legacy fights...and i think thats what mosley is looking for (especially judging by his decision to fight margarito when he could have taken on a lesser opponent just for the payday). The cotto rematch is a good fight. The proof is ALL in the first fight. It was wildly entertaining and I dont think anyone that ordered that PPV or attended live felt cheated in anyway. it was a fight that exceeded my expectations and I believe a rematch will be just as close of a fight and just as exciting. A fight with mayweather is another legacy fight but also a huge payday...a two for one in my opinion. It gives mosley a shot at one of the best (if not arguably THEE best of his time) that would be a huge PPV and media event. Similar to oscar v. floyd... Mosley cant go wrong with either fight. As for margarito i think he should allow cotto a rematch...its his best option right now other than maybe paul williams but from what i've read margarito isnt all that interested in rematching him yet...so cotto for sure...it was the FOTY (in my opinion) for 2008 and i have little reason to believe it would be anything less than spectacular a second time around.

I hope Shane retires after that great victory. He's not getting any younger and should have enough cash to keep him going for a while.
