At this time? It doesn't look like Floyd or Pac if he gets passed Cotto is going to fight him anytime soon. I know Cotto would fight Mosley without a problem. But it seems Arum might have other plans with Cotto if beats Pac.
So besides Clottey or Berto. The only other person that seems to want to fight Mosley is Williams.
Do yall think if Mosley can't get the big 3 a fight with Mosley and Williams will happen late next year? I know Mosley said he won't fight him because of there styles. But if that's his only option and the money is right. Do you see him taking that fight with Williams?
This post didn't really address anything that I mentioned. Mosley took less money to fight Berto than he would've gotten to fight Paul Williams. But it's not a duck because Mosley is a warrior. And to get it out there, I'm not a Floyd fan at all. I'd just rather see someone in their prime get a shot at Floyd and someone that is not rusty like Mosley probably is right now from bitching and complaining about not getting a fight.
It took Berto a long ass time to finally man up and fight Mosley when Paul Williams would've fought him at the drop of a hat. And now that Mosley bitched about not getting a fight with a big name instead of manning up and fighting Paul Williams earlier this year, he probably would've gotten a big money fight with one of the other guys early in 2010. But instead he's not ahead of the game and all the other fighters are gonna be tied up negotiating with each other while Mosley fights this unproven prospect.
Basically what I'm saying is Mosley could've fought Paul Williams in October like Pavlik was supposed to do, and get that out of the way and his chances of getting another fight he wanted would've been a lot better. And just because he may have lost doesn't mean that would've wiped him off the map. He would just have to make the fight competitive like he did with Cotto. If it had to take place at 154, Mosley could've made the weight because he's done it
before.
I'm not going to look back through the threads but I know your views ice and you and I have very similar feeling about boxing and this situation. I agree with the above post.
is berto really an unproven prospect if his last six fights have been for some kind of belt and he's beaten two legit belt holders his past two fights? He may not be elite yet but he's a long way from prospect which is why mosley's fighting him
Winning a vacant belt from some bum and beating Collazo in a controversial fight is not impressive to me. It didn't impress Mosley either, and that's why he's fighting him.

Williams?? Mega fight?? LOL!!!!
Save it Chicano. Mosley isn't a mega fight either. So he needs to put in some work. Williams would have fought two more times than he has since January and beat one of his conquerors on top of it.
Your posts are stupid. And I'm surprised cuz I agree with you a lot. NO ONE at ww wants pwill at ww. And Shane has proven over and over and over that he will fight anyone. He also has problems with tall fighters (but he wasn't too pussy to fight them). Comparing vanes to berto is ridiculous ice and you know it. Why the Shane hate? Berto holds a major belt and beat collazo, who is a solid solid vet.

He's already taken less money to fight an easier guy in Berto. Mosley aint ever fighting Paul Williams. And that's why he's a hypocrite.
How is Suger Shane a hypocrite when none of the other welters in his division step up to Paul Williams either. You do realize that Shane fought for a good part of his career at lightweight right.
slow down. Martinez worked cintron, cinton has absolutely nothing for him Martinez is a tough fight. Especially when Paul was preparing for a conventional slugger, now he's fighting a southpaw cutie that can stink it out if
he wants.
Have you ever heard of a boxer learning from a loss and getting better? happens a lot in boxing. That's what obviously happened with Martinez. Dude can box. That doesn't make what ice said right but you are off trying to diss Sergio as an opponent.
Im not dissin him but I thought the Cintron fight was garbage. I thought both of them looked like straight garbage. As for Martinez, I think he is a very good opponent for Williams but the other guy was trying to make it sound like Williams is taking a super tough fight in Martinez while Mosley is fighting an easy green bum in Berto and I dont see that at all. I think Berto is better than Martinez, espicaly a Martinez at MW
What are you even talking about? 1st of all Vanes is not looked at as big as Berto and why are you acting like Williams is doing something special by fighting Martinez? You think these guys are thinking about Martinez as a super elite fighter or something. Who is he to worry about? Dude already got slaughtered by Margarito, looked so average against Cintron, and the fight is at 160. I hope you dont think that is a special fight for Williams to be taking. Also, a fight with Pavlik isnt nothing compared to Mosley fighting Pac or Floyd. Its 10x more money, 10x more fame, and a chance to beat the #1 guy in the game who are both smaller than you. Stop trying to compare apples & oranges and then calling me dumb.
Its like when Margarito took the Williams fight over the Cotto fight and realized how dumb of a move that was as he lost out on a huge Cotto pay day. Now he got raped in negotiatons the 2nd time around for the Cotto fight. You saw that the supposed warrior Margarito beat Cotto and didnt want the immediate rematch to Williams afterwards until he fought some guys like Floyd, Pac, and Mosley who are probably easier fights for bigger money but still are big names

This post is stupid. Is Williams gonna go on and fight some green prospect like Vanes over Martinez just because he couldn't get a fight with Pavlik? That's pretty much what Mosley is doing with Berto. He'd rather fight Berto in January for less money and with more age than fight Paul Williams in December for a bigger payday.

I doubt Mosley is really scared of Williams. Plus Williams is not that hard to hit. It's just he throws a lot of punches.
To be honest I can actually see this fight happening in the future. Williams also can be beat. Carlos Quintana proved that. I know some say it was a fluke. But I don't see how getting a boxing lesson for 12 rounds is a fluke. So with the right gameplan, Mosley has a chance.

The problem is people talk about ducking too much so they end up looking like hypocrites. Mosley isnt scared of Williams any kind of way and would fight him with no problem but he is not going to fight Williams until he gets fights with guys like Pac, Floyd, or Cotto. Thats what he's doing and thats what he should do. Just like I said Floyd wants to fight the WW's but he's not going to fight them before he fights a JMM and Pac. Why should he? Its stupid and fans are just to stupid to realize that. Again, you always want to go up in terms of difficulty, not go down. If there are fights out there then you want to take the easiest one with the most money 1st as long as its a legit fight.
I definatly see the Mosley-Williams fight happening late next year if Mosley is still undefeated and thats only because Mosley will have most likely have already fought a Pac, Mayweather, or Cotto if he wins
mayweather is not thinkin bout mosley first, pac has had multiple chances to sign mosley and he hasn't cotto already fought him he may go back who knows but mosley first is old, second is very good, third is not a huge payday so why would anyone fight him. PW will figh bc he is thirsty for comp and uber confident. we'll c
No big name WW will ever step in the ring with PWill, it's been that way for a while now. For whatever reason Mosely is last in line for a big money fight with Pac/Cotto/Mayweather, by the time he get in the ring with one of the big three he might be 40 yrs old. Kinda strange how a WW belt holder has to chase people for fights.
actually mosley is smart for fighting berto. That is 2 of the 4 major belts he would hold. He is taking a chance, so he can play the whole "fight shane, so you can unify titles" role.
And this goes out to any guy who wants big fights and feels he is avoided...the quickest way to get a megafight is to collect more belts. If Shane would have taken Joshua Clottey and Andre Berto last year he would have had the WBA, WBC and IBF belts, making him the man at 147. All roads would have lead to him, because he would be the clear champ and put a ton of pressure on guys like Cotto, Pacquiao and Floyd to fight him.

I think it's getting really sad to see what boxing has become!!Everyone ducks the Punisher so I can't $hit on Mosley for it,hell I don't even $hit on floyd for it!!The sad thing is,that the biggest fight would have been Mosley-floyd!!But floyd doesn't want it,I know he isn't fighting Cotto,so who's gonna be left if Cotto beats Pacman,seriously!!:nonono::nonono::nonono::nonono:

All boxers are hypocrites in a way. Even Sugar Ray Robinson didn't want to fight Charlie Burly
