my question to boxing scene is has shane mosley all of a sudden become a better fighter then he was 2years ago? i find it funny how when m cotto fought sugar shane and defeated him the majority of boxing fans and floyd mayweather fans were so quick to point out his age and the fact that he had seen better days so did he become a better fighter with age or did nazim richardson make that much of a difference or is it because we as fans of certain fighters sometimes subconsciously feel the need to discredit another fighters opponents and resume to make our fave fighter look better?
I don't get why people say he has gotten so much better with Nazim when his only fight with that trainer was against a punching bag....Mayweather should easily outbox Mosley.

bolded part is by many posters here the reason... some of course make vital points... but in most cases many posters simply feel the need to level down other fighters to make their fighter looks better
Shane's always been good, and Brother Nazim has made him better, but you can't give him too much credit for the win over Cheato. It was a great win, yes, but with all of the controversy surrounding the gloves and what not, you have to question Margs' win over Cotto
Margarito was right in front of Shane, easy to hit, easy to grab. Floyd will frustrate the hell out of him. Mosley hasn't seen decent speed since he fought Cotto over 2 years ago. A guy with Floyd's style will make him look his age.
Not unless you are a flomo and believe that fighters at the lower weights improve the closer they get to 40!:lol1:
I think Floyd should wait 5 more years so he can fight the prime version of Mosley.
nope, shane today was just slower and older but people are fooled by his performance against margarito who is more worst fighter than mayorga. But still an old past prime mosley should be a 50-50 fight against floyd.
Not true... Now you making me look bad... Margarito honestly was a way better fighter than Mayorga...
Exactly. All I saw a month ago from people like him was that Pacquiao-Mosley "would be a war" and that Mayweather was "afraid to face Mosley." Now all of a sudden, "Mosley was old" "Margarito couldnt fight anyway"...these are not boxing fans. They are just people who have an agenda.
That comment I never understood. Margarito was the #1 WW at the time... Margartio arguably has one of the best WW resume this past decade... But, to be fair some people who make that exact comment on the bold are Floyd fans...

but you wanted Pac to fight him first though?
correct me if I'm wrong. I'll dig up your post history.

Hell No.I think people are overrating Mosley now Just because of what he did to the face first zero defense Maragrito.
He is old ,inactive,and he's having a hard time making 147
Hegot outboxed by Cotto.
Even Ricardo Mayorga made Mosley look bad.
Yet Mayorga was behind on all cards and got laid out for a 10 count. Yeah...OK
if you don't beat someone that the fans want you to or think you should beat (cotto) you aint shit, if you don't win a fight the way they want you to win a fight (mayorga) you aint shit, thats how people think it's the same reason hopkins wasn't the favorite against pavlik
I don't think Cotto won that fight. This is the Fight I want to see. I could care less about the Pac and Clottey fight because I know how that's going to end.
These are both my favourite fighters....yay!
Why are you trying to act like Cotto killed him? That was a prime Cotto and it was a very close fight. I thought Cotto won but he didnt dominate him. Most had it like 7-5. I think Shane's other trainers have been horrible for the most part, espically his dad. I think Shane wouldve beaten Cotto with Nazim and I think Shane may have lost to Margarito with Jack in his corner
who is trying to act like cotto killed him? it was a close fight that he clearly won that has nothing to do with my question if you feel that nazim made the difference then just say so dont put words into my mouth

you know i'm right about Mosley.Don't deny it..
That's why I said on my old posts that Mayweather WILL fight Mosley and that he will outbox and beat him EASILY.Dig that shit up also.
hard to say for me. he looked great against marg, but not great against mayorga imo. this fight is good, but would have been great 3 to 5 yrs ago. oh well, at least it's happening now.
