Very good news.
One of the most classiest fighters in the sport, never backed down from challenges even if the style matchups were against him. The definition of a warrior and a lock-in for the Hall of Fame.
Classy fighters don't cheat.
I knew this day was coming...I'm more than cool with Shanes decision to hang 'em up!!....1 of 2 fighters I became too attached to in terms of emotions....what can I say?!?...Shane Mosley, I LOVE YOU!!!!!(in my Larry Merchant voice) :beerchug:
It was time.
Great HOF career, no need to add a few more L's as a faded legend.
Indeed. Unquestionably a legend and hall of famer, and Sugar had a great run. A very classy gentleman as well.
I think you mixed it up. Remember Mosley begging Pac for a fight before he fought Floyd? I think Shane got down on his hands and knees and agreed to multiple Mannyweights, pac turned him down and then Shane called him out for being scared. Meantime Roach stated that Mosley was "too good"....
I ment during the fight he just felt pacs power and decided to make it a im sorry lets shake hands fight. he just wanted a fat check.

It's funny how sound he was early in his career. Anyway, thanks for the memories; my favorite fighter growing up
Although he was scared of pac hes still a good boxer and had a good career.

Even though he really pissed me off with his performances against Floyd and Pac, and even moreso when he KO'd Margarito who at the time was one of my favorite fighters, you have to respect the guy's abilities and accomplishments. Thanks for a great career, Mosley! Enjoy retirement.
Have a good retirement Shane...do your promoting thing and hire someone to kill the ex..........just kidding....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................not really
closing the book on what was a great ERA IMO with Winky Wright and Shane Mosley two future Hall Of Famers FOR SURE retiring with in the last few days
Hopefully both stay around the sport and be Trainers, I am sure Shane will focus on his Son Now
