    There's an old joke about lawyers that runs:

    Q: What do you call a dozen lawyers under the sea?

    A: A good start.

    That may have as well been spoken of promoters and managers.

    It's not that I find the shelving of Mosley-Cintron earthshaking. It's just that promoters and managers are getting in the way of too many things too often. Their job is to PROmote not DEmote; not even Emote in front of those media cameras.

      What do you call a dozen lawyers up to their neck in water?

      Not enough water.


      Sounds like a boring matchup.

        The post was not about the match up but about promoters and managers who get in the way too much too often.

        And you conveniently erased the final paragraph that reads:

            Sorry. I took your post out of its intended context. My fault.

            This is embarrasing. My apologies.

              A Mosley/Collazo could turn out be more interesting than the Cintron/Mosley fight. In fact Collazo could give Mosley a stiffer conpetition than Cintron, it's just than there's gonna be no title at stake.

                I really wanted to see Kermit vs Shane.
                This sucks.
                Collazo has the style to also beat Mosley. Bet on it.

                    Collazo has no power to keep SSM off of him, SSM is gonna do whatever the hell he wants in this fight. At least Cintron had a puncher's chance. I see SSM stopping Collazo.
