Coming onto saturday's fight,we all knew Mosley was shot,old & couldn't pull the trigger.He was thoroughly outclassed by Floyd,drawed with a reality tv star & aged a year.
Most people also thought that he would suffer his 1st ko loss.Well for being old & shot,he managed to survive 12 rounds against arguably boxing's best active fighter.Clearly no small feat for a shot 40 year old.He deserves some respect for that.He put up some kinda boxing something or other that actually frustrated Pacman.
I just can't find it inside me to blame Mosley for his performance.He wasn't gonna win & we all thought he'd get stopped.He didn't get stopped & he managed to frustrate arguably boxing's best fighter.That's some brave $hit,Mosley I commend U.
He landed 22 total power shots throughout the entire fight, Clottey landed 105 I believe it was. Mosley only threw FIVE punch combinations above 2 punches the entire fight. Any crafty veteran can merely survive 12 rounds. Mosley is a ***** for not at least attempting to win.
Fukk that, Mosley was a warrior. All he did that night was to be a sparring partner. hitting the gloves after every single incident, action, hit, round, etc. He went in there for a paycheck and stay safe to the point that he was actually jumping away from any danger. He should be ashamed of his actions and to then go and talk about manny using PEDS is disgraceful. Sorry but he deserves what he getting from the boxing comunity. On top of that, he needs to hurry up and oficially retire and stay out of the ring
What say U then of the promoter,team & fighter that chose him??:dunno:

That was a very disappointing showing by Shane. I like the guy, but when he didn't even try to win after the knockdown that was just disrespectful to the fans who paid good money to watch a FIGHT.
After the fight when asked what he was gonna do, he said he'll just take a vacation and "enjoy the fruits of his labor." So "fruits of his labor" is 9 rounds of not trying. What a slap to the fans.
I cant give him credit he didnt go out on his sheild. He wen out on his bike like a scared fruit cake. It was pathetic to watch.
Wow,but in ur earlier tread U said that his half retarded attempt at boxing was mildly successful.Now the shot 40 year old who couldn't pull the trigger ran like a fruit cake??
that doesn't make shane deserve anything. he fought like a *****. he didn't even fight in fact
margarito lasted 12 rounds too, after being out of the equation for around 2 years. he proved that you don't have to ***** out of a fight to last the 12 rounds
he might be a suspected cheater and whatnot, but that deserves credit. he even managed to hurt manny. shane on the other hand...
I notice ur taking about everyone,even bringing up Floyd,but U haven't said a thing about Pacman,hmmmmmmmmmm......................!!
ill bump my thread........and educate your hypocritical ass.............just wait.........................LOL
I dare U to make a tread & post ur tread while trying to find any of me & see whose the hypocrite.
there's no one to blame but himself. there's no way you can defend clottey nor him. when you climb a ring just for a paycheck and run like a b!tch, you DESERVE to be bashed
this wasn't expected from mosley. heck even clottey, a more defensive minded fighter, managed to do some damage
He lasted 12 rounds with Manny Pacman,widely regarded as boxing's best fighter.Martinez,Cotto & any other elite fighter would have stopped that version of Shane.
yes you do..............you give floyd credit.........legacy wise...........fighting and winning against shane whose almost 40....................vs a scared 40 year old who got knocked down and ran the entire fight......................................thats hypocrisy................thats how you roll................
Mosley was champ when Floyd fought him.The highest ranked welterweight coming off of an impressive ko victory.Fast forward to saturday.Mosley was 40,shot & shouldn't have been fighting the best fighter in the world.Now tell me,between Floyd & Pacman who deserves more credit for their win??How I roll,ur the hypocrite that said outside of stopping Mosley Pacman deserves no credit,then gets owned in ur own tread after finding phantom ways to further discredit Floyd while trying to praise Pacman,that homey is how U roll.
People are so upset at Mosley they forgot who actually gave him the fight. Manny and bob is to blame for it. Not Mosley. They knew it was a bullsh1t fight from the beginning. Had this been OCT or NOV of 09 then that's a different story. You know when he should have fought Shane.
yeah right and ur the same ppl who gonna accuse Pac of ducking SSM, make up ur mind guys
so you take 2 shameful situations, then give credit to the one that is less shameful?
When everyone else is bashing Mosley,someone has to be the man to say,"hold on a minute here,Mosley is shot & 40,why would I blame him"??So yes,Mosley is getting bashed from everyone else,so I'm going to be the man to remind everyone who is to blame for it.
shanes legacy is secured.............but he went out with a bitter taste in boxing fans memories......................his pac performance is soo unlike him......................
He lasted 12 rounds against the best fighter in boxing.At 40,shot to $hit & cherrypicked.Crucify him for that,but praise the blatant cherrypickers that chose him.That's good for U,but I don't get down like that.
Ok Ex,so what's more shameful,Mosley surviving??Or boxing's best fighter unable to stop a shot 40 year old that can't pull the trigger??
Well Pacquiao...Pac should have had him outta there by the middle rounds...
I'm not giving Shane any credit though...he didn't try to win...
I'm sure a lotta people thought if anyone, Sugar Shane would go out swinging....
Well good for him, he got his payday...and at least it sounds like he realizes he doesn't have it anymore...
You can't be serious...
Shane didn't even try to win...he says he left Manny's power and didn't wanna take any risks after that........well I don't remember him doing shyt before the knockdown...
He fought the whole fight hoping he wouldn't get stopped...
I respect what he's done over his career but his effort that night was pathetic...

i think he deserves more credit.......in the floyd fight.......inactive overtrained and injured and all...............just saying
I know U do,I expect that from U.Ur right though.So then U have come to the realization of how shameful it must have been to go 12 with best fighter in boxing,to the best fighter in boxing,good.

Why fight him in the first place. why not somebody else.
Like wtf is wrong with people within boxing. Manny dont seem to get blame for sh1t. he is the 1 that picked to fight shane.
Like seriously gtfoh with that bullsh1t.
This is the point that boxing fans won't accept.Mosley is almost 40,he is shot,he can't pull the trigger.These are facts.He hasn't looked good in 2 fights leading up to last Saturday.He wasn't gonna win,he was supposed to finally be ko'd.But instead,he frustrated supposedly boxing's best fighter.He moved,he lasted,he didn't get stopped,the fight was boring & a waste of money to the fools that payed for it.But the only person boxing fans are mad at,is the shot,40 year old fighter that was chosen by Arum & team Pacman.They're mad at Mosley.Mosley.Not the people that chose him,they're mad at the shot 40 year old.Because he didn't allow himself to be ko'd.
dude, Mosley was RUNNING after the third round. as soon as pac tagged him, he backpedalled like there was no tomorrow.
no he wasnt. the problem was he didnt let his hands go. Manny was there to be hit. he couldnt pull the trigger.
He didnt run, he circled and stepped around him. the problem was manny was use to fighting fighters who come forward. and once that happens manny side steps them, give them angles and whoop their azz.
