This is the second time hes ducked Williams.
First Time: 2009
Shane has no opponent. Paul has no opponent.
Mosley asked about Paul. "I'll fight anyone but him our styles dont match up well".
Then after the Martinez fight.
"I'll fight Paul Williams"
Yea after watching Martinez make it close. Anyway...
Then 2010 comes along:
Paul Williams and his team say they want a Mosley fight. A week later Mosley in his talks to fight Sergio Mora at 154 Pounds?
Bullshit.
At this stage in his career I think most think(probably himself included) he would lose...Burner you know Shane isn't terrified of anyone...lol
I agree. He isn't terrified, I think Mosley would just like to win one (Mora), although I wouldn't look past Mora either. That's another discussion.
Paul Williams may be a little too much for Mosley. Granted Williams is far from perfect, and does get peppered easily but Williams could beat Mosley.
Mosley could win if he smothers Williams, and throws that over hand right. Eitherway it would have made a very entertaining fight.
Mora and Mosley is cool too.
Mosley knows he cannot beat Paul's style. And losing to Williams, somebody who mainstream viewers don't know who the hell is, terminates Mosley's career.
Losses to Mayweather/Pacquiao, Mosley can survive.
i agree with this post......
No wonder their dollars and ratings are going down the tube.
Maybe it could be on Showtime.
Mosley, as you know, is yesterday's news.
We'd never see Paul fight on Showtime. Especially with Haymon as his manager. Hes HBO for life.
Mosley as you know is a much bigger name then just about anyone not named Pac, Floyd or Cotto. He has that name value and at this stage in Pauls career hes need a name win. Im down for a SD fight but beating him wont make him any more of a star.
I figured that Mosley would be more brave in his selection of opponents after that loss to Floyd. Guess I'm wrong. But like I said, Sergio Mora is ten times better than Yuri Foreman is.
Sergei Dzin is a WBO champ and Paul doesn't command big dollars so I say if it ain't Sergio it should be Sergei.
Paul wants him but HBO doesnt want Dzinziruk on their broadcast.
Burner nobody gives a fukk!!!!
Shane Mosley would ktfo Williams if they fight. But why Shane have to fight him? Why you want Williams to fight a old ass fukk fighter who just got Shut down???
Williams should stop being a dumbass(not that he can) and stop jumping from one division to another.
Why you dont call Paul on not fighting Dzinziruk???
Williams needs to fight a name fighter. Mosley is a name.
Oh and I think you have Williams confused with Martinez when it comes to Dzinziruk.
:boxing:

Williams vs Mosley would be a travesty...
SSM just got pummled and should have been KOd if Floyd wasn't so friendly...what exactly does this prove about Williams? That he can beat guys comming off of retirement or that should be retired? Williams needs to get off his jock and fight a nice prime fighter...
Hell, he should look only at Cintron and Martinez...two guys that judges gave gifts to Williams from. Hell, I also think a 3rd fight with Quintana is more viable than SSM.
I may seem to be dogging Williams but I like him.
I am just critical of him because sometimes I feel he gets more credit than he deserves.
I think Martinez beat him and the Margs fight was close, it wasn't a 9-3 fight just because Jim Lampley said it was.
I admire PWill for fighting people. but he's not blowing guys out and he's not the second coming.
He's a very good boxer, but he's not whitewashing people like some think he is.
He white washed everyone hes fought except two people.
His Quintana loss.
And the Martinez fight.
The last time Martinez was dominated he was as green as the incredible hulk.
The Cintron fight was a disgrace to boxing watching that clown fake an injury once Paul decided to stop listening to his trainer and fight.
Mosley needs a tune up fight before he fights another top fighter like Cotto fought Yuri.
I'd rather see Mosley fight Berto after he beats Mora.
Mosley is back at 154 now.
He should be after Williams or Dzinziruk.
What about you and me..the fans?

I hate fighters that get credit for throwing volume and not connecting.
It's pitiful.
Martinez put Williams on his ass too same round and lost when he should have won.
PWill knows he got a gift.
Well Martinez knows and admitted he lost. I saw the fight several times. It was very close.
Hey Cab throws a bunch of punches too.
Why would Williams want to fight a past prime and shot fighter like Mosley? Cherry picking? :lol1:
Mosley fighting Mora makes more sense for Mosley and GBP. Keep the money in house, HBO will pay more for this fight, and Mora has more fans than Williams.
What about you and me..the fans?
I admire that he fights anyone, and I like that, but seriously, he doesn't sit down on anything against good comp.
That's what I see.
yup his technique leaves a ton to b desired. Cant argue against that. thats y I am a strong critic of peterson.
He didn't beat Martinez cuz he didn't sit down on shit.
Everyone knows, the other guy landed more.
It's like the Margs fight. He throws 116 and lands 17 and everyone thinks he's a hero... Makes me sick.
I like his chin but he's not an effective puncher.
I would like to see him throw shit with meaning against good comp, and after the first round.
He didn't against Martinez, and that was his mo most of his career and he sure as shit didn't against Cintron.
You dont have to sit down on punches to win fights. Martinez was actually in the ring and said he took rounds off to conserve energy. There were times in that fight when Martinez wouldnt even throw back. What Williams's does work. He overwhelms people.
What Margs fight? Williams vs. Marg?? He landed on Marg at will. Its not like Marg has defense. For the first 6 rounds Marg did nothing but get punched in the face.
These type of fighters are called volume punchers bro. Its what they do. They throw alot of punches.
He put Martinez on his ass with a left hand that he sat down on.
As a big Pau fan I dont care if he throws hard punches or not just win the fight.

4wat? to cash in on another HBO date? outside of that there is no relevance. we give these guys 2 many passes. and my damn cable bill is not getting any cheaper. I'm tired of these BS matchups. There comes a point when fighters get to a certain level where tune-ups should be out the question.
Its Martinez fault.
Instead keeping his 154 Pound WBC belt and dropping the WBO 160 belt. He did it the other way around. Forcing him to have to fight Zbik rather than Paul or Dzinziruk.
