From manny pacquaio to floyd mayweather......mosley bent over backwards to suit pacmans demands n yet they still said no lol then floyd says because mosley cheated nearly a decade ago hes not fighting him.....cotto is done he was lucky against clottey....bob arum made this fight because he promotes both fighters and will recieve a bigger purse.its a sad day when the best don't fight the best.
Mosley has made me mad. He let a total of 2 fights pass him buy this year. He could have fought Cotto in June and somebody in November. All trying to get a fight everyone knew he wasn't getting. What ever Arum wants he gets. Now Shane has to take a step backwards and fight probably a guy that just lost Clottey or someone who isn't on his level Berto.
Mosley could've fought Paul Williams for $3 million. I'll bet Kelly Pavlik would've fought him if Mosley was willing to move up to 160. Now those two guys are fighting each other for big money unless Williams pulls some kind of funny business and Mosley is on the sidelines crying the blues.
Dude thought beatin Marg would get him a big $ fight wit Pac or Mr boat buyer. Pac knows better, and Mr boat buyer ain't fightin him period. SSM gotta get off his high horse and just fight somebody. He gave his career a 2nd wind wit the Marg KO, and he's lettin it slip by waitin for fights that won't happen.
paul williams is a boxing freak.....its no wonder e can't get a fight a welterweight with hw tall he is,u seen wat he did 2 winky he belongs in middleweight
He can still make 147 which makes him a welterweight.
Williams is proof that not everyone is ducking Mosley. :)
Paul Williams wanted a shot, and Mosley wanted none.
Clottey wants a fight also.

i agree it is sad.we're gonna be lookin at fantasy matchups that could and should have happened!!:boxing:
manny is not the one ducking shane, its arum. boxing politics.
i kinda wanna see a mayweather-mosley fight though. they've been chasing each other for so long. technique vs strength
no freddie roach isn't exactly pushng forthe fight,mosley is being ducked...fighters are realizing that shane has 1 year 2 tops to keep producing great performances so thy are stearing clear of him since the margarito fight.

Mosley should go after Berto if Williams takes another fight. But Berto has been over paid to fight guys like Urango and Collazo. And when you pay a pampered fighter to fight mediocre fighters more than what he deserves, fans get denied a legit fight like the one with Mosley. Mosley feels like he shouldn't get paid anything less than what he got to fight Margarito and I don't blame him. And Pacquiao doesn't want anything to do with Mosley in my view. I understand why he went after Cotto. But if he doesn't fight Mosley after beating Cotto if Shane is still on his hot streak it's one of the biggest ducks in boxing. You're supposed to be recognized as a 7-weight division champ, so do something to legitimize it. Jennings was not a champion by any stretch when Cotto beat him.
Before Cotto gets 1...Mosley deserves a 3rd
By your same logic Cotto deserves it just as much.
I never mentioned cotto or pac. Im happy for cotto, he deserves a big fight. Im talking mayweather not fighting mosely, plain and simple. I can understand pac taking the easier fight, being the smaller man i can understand that, what i cant understand is mayweather dodging shane.If your gonna mouth off saying your the best fighter who ever lived, prove it.
if I was Pac or the dude in charge of his career.....after beating the RECOGNIZED King at 140......I would have went after the RECOGNIZED King at 147 if I was going to fight a WW.......which is Mosley!.......thats just me!!......Mosley looked more impressive than Cotto in their last fights so I can't see why they chose Cotto :nonono:.......but the Cotto cats and dogs will come up with 1,001 reasons why Cotto should be facing Pac instead of Mosley!!.....personally, I would like WW's to fight WW's and if Mosley and Pac had fought......it should've been at 147
PWill and currently Cintron have called him out first of all so he's not being 'ducked'. He just isn't getting the fights the that HE wanted. Secondly it is very hard to determine whether Cotto is done based on his last fight. He fought impaired for most of the fight and still managed to keep it competitive against a solid WW so in my opinion he still has much to offer.
Don't forget clotty will fight mosley at any time anywhere...
mosleys excuse will be the same one that juanma uses not enough money bla bla bla
Mosley has already had 2 Mega fights.
Yep and he deserves another one. Especially after getting in the ring with two other fighters than Mayweather wanted no piece of.
Shane is very desperate this days, he knows he has a few fights left and trying like hell to make biggest pay day.
Exactly, he's paid his dues he's looking for the biggest fights, plain and simple. Dunno what he has to do to get Mayweather to get in a ring with him. It's actually quite sad hearing all Mayweathers excuses, cuz he is a great fighter. He's obviously very weary of Shane, and rightly so.
Mosley is rejecting a lot of fights with other fighters as well. I don't know where people are getting this idea that Manny ducked Mosley from. As soon as Cotto beat Clottey it was pretty much determined that Pacquiao and Cotto were going to fight, and it was only then Mosley started getting desperate to fight Manny. Mosley was trying to make a fight with a guy that already had a fight being made.
exactly!!!
there is no way in h3ll Mosley will bring what Cotto brings to the table even at 30% of the purse.
I was reading a news article and a Puerto Rican Travel agency is expecting to sell from 400 to 500 package of a luxury Hotel for 3 days, Transportation, and the flight for 749.00.
