I can't believe how many people are so hung up on their own personal bias, they cannot even grasp reality. "the fight was fixed!" Do you know anything about boxing?
For one thing, to suggest this was a fixed fight is a terrible insult to Shane Mosley, Nazeem Richardson, etc. We've all observed Brother Nazeem on 24/7, and tell me, does he seem insincere? Does he seem like a liar? Can a man give himself so completely to the will of Allah, then be involved in a fixed fight?
It's that kind of thing that makes you realize, claiming this is a fixed fight makes you an utterly worthless moron. Is Shane Mosley known for such acting skills? Does he have the depth of emotion to portray subtle desperation in his face? He does not.
This is a multi-million dollar business. Do you realize the longterm damage done to many, many rich and successful people, if it got out that a fixed fight was arranged? How it would effect HBO, boxing comissions, corporate shareholders? Do you, you f**king idiot? No, you don't- because you're borderline handicapped. Saying easy s**t like that, like you're seven years old. A fixed fight is serious, life-damaging business when so much money and sponsorship is being tossed around. Join the real world. You basically insulted Shane Mosley and his entire camp. I wish Rock Allen saw your ass on the street.
Read Shay's entry about working with Floyd. Learn that because you dislike someone, doesn't mean they don't work. You don't see Floyd playing golf during camp (Oscar), you don't see Floyd shooting darts with the lads (Hatton), you don't see Floyd being low-key and playing golf (Shane). Not that thats the reasons those individuals didn't win against Floyd, but the point is, this guy is complete work ethic. You think hes a loudmouth because thats what he wants you to think. And come to think of it, thats probably the best example of just how much you yourself get owned by Floyd Mayweather.
There is no fixed fight. Learn about boxing, you utter failures. My God, is boxing full of such backwards and stupid f**king fans? It's amazing tickets get sold at all.
Arum and GBP Promotions know exacly know what their doing.....make Pacquaio look like a machine against Clottey both under Arum wouldn't be hard to fix. GBP make Mayweather look invincible to Mosley both under GBP (Mosley partners with DeLaHoya)............setting up the biggest fight in History and this one won't be fixed.
Maybe it was the pressure of the first time fighting in a big fight that got to him. The only fight you could mention was the de la hoya fight. De la hoya who was virtually unknown then, had the advantage. He was used to fighting infront of a couple hundred people, mosley was not. That is probably why mosley never had a belt around his waist. That combined with things i listed earlier.
This fight was definetly not fixed. Mosley didn't become like this overnight, he was always gassing out early and giving up, years and years of bad habbits.
Another reason is that from a buisness stand point it makes absolutely no sense whatever.
Example; golden boy stood a great chance of drawing in the biggest ppv numbers ever with mosley vs pac. Not to mention mountains of cash, Mosley who at the tender age of 38 , maybe a good five mega fights left in him is a virtual cash cow, his ppv numbers dont lie. Which makes me wonder why they put him in with such a dangerous opponent.
Mayweather on the other hand still in his prime has a few years left in him, Seeing as no one wants him to fight pac, the fight wouldn't draw nearly as much as the corely fight. Only drawing in real boxing fans.
There was nothing strange about mosley saturday night.
He lands a big shot and clearly hurts mayweather, then lands a shot that looks like what i imagine happens when you hit someone with a frying pan and decides after that, that its time to give up because the shot didnt knock mayweather down or out. It's kind of like when he hit Margarito with a big right hand and figured he couldn't knock him out so he let him off the hook and stopped punching.
I think maybe it was the countering of Mayweather afterwards that stopped him from doing much of anything at all. It reminds me of when Cotto, De la hoya, and Vargas countered him and he just decided he had enough and lost those fights, execpt those fighters didnt quite have the punching power mayweather brings into the ring and mosley who doesn't get hit often was overwhelmed because someone with notable ko power was hitting him. He couldn't adjust.
if you think me saying 'you wouldnt give it any weight' means im saying you're a racist and not that you think it'll be biased, and even after i explained it you're still on this racist shit, then you're hopeless.
and wtf is this 'man' shit? am i arguing w/ a homo? :lol1:
now im really out you spook me.
I am whatever you say I am. You have no proof, meanwhile we have proof that you're both biased, and dishonest. But enough about that. The point isn't about you, or about me. It's about people with no knowledge saying something disrespectful and insulting by stating this was a fixed fight.
That's swell- stay at home and don't visit this thread again.
And no, you stated that I MYSELF wouldn't have listened to anything BECAUSE IT WAS FROM A PINOY. I'm sorry that there is a record kept automatically, and you are being held to your word as a man. Not our fault that the board is a computer and didn't recognize you were never a man to begin with.
Have a safe trip home.

see how stupid you are? my point was the statement from a fellow pinoy was going to be biased since pac is pinoy, and not the racist shit you're on.
going home now latah

I'm sorry, but I seem to recall you telling me I wouldn't have listened to that statement if it came from a Pinoy. Which, believe it or not, is a suggestion that I must have racist tendencies, or am at the least, prejudiced against pinoys. Did you forget that, Bogler? Do you have a "stupid" memory?

lol really at your retarded reading comprehension, did i even say the word 'racist' or suggested it? read back. reason i said white guy, simply because a pinoy's comment, which was 8/10 guys watching that night, about this fight being fixed would be viewed as biased, because what, you guessed it, manny's pinoy too! gtfoh w/ that racist shit dumbass you're putting too much nonsense into it. and no you're not right, you just have stupid comprehension.

And it is your job as a boxing fan with experience to explain to him that Floyd took a half step to the right, which put him out of reach of Shane's right hand, and those last two counters really stung Shane's face and he is now tentative.
i couldve swore you were there coz how did you know i did all that w/ me just saying 'no'? :lol1:
What is going on here is that I made a post to share my thoughts about people making ridiculous comments about this fight being fixed.
You joined said thread and suggested I am a racist who would not accept any opposing thoughts from someone who is a pinoy.
I responded with the truth, which is that you are an idiot who does not know me, and that anyone can be right or wrong in boxing or anything else, regardless of skin color.. and i am right.
The End.

you must be really naive about what's going on here or pretending to be to makeup that convoluted stupid explanation. dont pretend. now move along.

lol at your stupid comprehension. i told him the fight wasnt' fixed, read my post again. and i mentioned the white guy coz i was w/ a bunch of pinoys w/ only 2 non-pinoys watching it. im sure you wouldnt give it any weight if i said a pinoy said this, comprende?QUOTE]
There goes more proof of your severe stupidity. Why wouldn't I give it any weight? Have I ever declared myself to be a racist, or make racial remarks? I have not, therefore the bias is on your shoulders by assuming that.
Pinoy, white, black, green, whatever... people know boxing, regardless of skin color, depending on what they've put into it. By your method of thinking, I must love Pavlik, Minto, and Cooney, right? After all, they're "white guys" like me. Guess what. White guys are idiots, and in boxing, white guys can be idiots.. just like black guys and pinoys can be. Don't ever call me a racist again or suggest that I am one. Comprende?

I've heard that before, but my comments are meant more for this specific fight. Because I honestly know that it's people's own dislike of Mayweather over-riding logic and reality to them. There is no way that was an arranged "fixed' fight- Floyd beat him masterfully.
The way I see it, if people with greater boxing education than US are saying it... are they all in the "fix", too?
This shit goes back further, there's some people out there that still insist De La Hoya took a dive against Hopkins instead of trying to win the Undisputed Middleweight Championship.
You can say that again.
Pacquiao dominates Cotto = He's on steroids
Mayweather dominates Mosley = Fight is fixed

Thanks Crimson, for clarifying. Maybe I'll start writing down so people can understand what I mean.
To Bogler: As for the "white guy" (is that specified because that makes him non-biased or something?? thats the stupidest thing you wrote today, if so) who said "but how can Mosley start doing nothing when he isnt getting hurt" , how does a casual, non-boxing experience 'white guy' have any influence on YOU, if you know so much about boxing? Are you in the ring? Floyd was hurting Mosley. If he was not, why was Brother Nazeem so serious about possibly throwing in the towel? Why are they icing Shane's face during the post-fight interviews?
This is again actual scientific proof that the majority of people here understand nothing about boxing, the science of it, the structure of it, have never even walked or driven past a boxing gym, much less stepped foot in one. Not noticing Shane being jittery and jumpy the entire fight, or knowing what 36 minutes of dancing around a ring does to the body, only showcases how inept and sucker-ish all the "experts" are.

Yeah, in both cases, it certainly couldn't be the more concrete fact of a glove hitting both respective fighters in the face, could it? Cotto hasn't even been the same since Margarito, which is understandable.

So you're saying May-Mosley is not fixed but Pac-Clottey is "possibly" a fix???LOL!! And you said people who say fix is moronic....so could you "possibly" be a moron?
:D
You're so desperate to argue, aren't you? No, I was being SARCASTIC. Basically, I went to some lengths to say none of Pac's fights are fixed, unless you count Arum knowing Clottey can't beat Pac as a "fix". Learn to digest sentences and absorb what words mean.
