Mosley: "Mayweather Next or Retirement"

[TheGR8TESTOAT]

WHATEVER!!!!! Not even a year ago when asked about fighting Mayweather, Mosely avoided the question and went off on a rant about needing dentures. Screw Mosely!!!!!

haaha i remeber that! larry asked him str8 up and all SSM said in reply is my tooth is loose. i was like WTF?

[lyrical]

I dont think he beats Cotto but hopefully he fights the loser of Mayweather/Hatton

i used to have doubts about who would win this fight but now im pretty convinced cotto will win mosley is talking about retirement so im sure he felt limitations

Regardless of whether Mosley is feeling physical or mental limitations - or both; this is not good news for anyone who has Mosley in this fight.

Shane did leave things open ended, but it says alot about his current state of mind.

I was very surprised to hear Shane talking like this, so close to the fight. It makes me want to re-think my pick a little bit. Although, he might be bluffing to make Cotto think training camp hasn't gone well. I heard someone say today that Shane has been at 147 for two weeks now, which is incredible, if true.

I'm still going with Shane, but the needle is beginning to tilt ever so slightly towards an impressive Cotto victory. I hate to be one of those people who constantly changes their mind, but I might lock in Miguel Cotto by November 10.

People on this board are smoking so much if they think Floyd wouldnt fight Shane. 1st off he has already challanged him, 2ndly the fight would be huge if Shane beats Cotto, and 3rd Floyd knows it would seal his legacy since the fans seem to think that he is scared of him.

I think you guys really underestimate Floyd's mindset towards Shane. I dont think Floyd has any kind of worry of Shane. I bet anything that I have that he looks as Mosley as a guy who has already lost to 2 different guys, some say 3 guys if you count the 2nd Oscar fight, and he is all Offense. He is one demensional and never ever makes an adjustment during a fight. In all his tough fights he fought the same way from rounds 1-12. He never has another game plan if something isnt working. I think people are 100% wrong if they think that Floyd is scared or worried about a Mosley fight. If 2 guys are close to the same skill level then a complete fighter will always beat a one demensional guy. Always.

Also, dont forget the size issue. I always talk about this. Shane is bigger & stronger then Floyd but he's also much smaller then alot of the other big WW's and is closer to Floyd's size

I agree with half this post, Shane was known as a smart fighter in his prime and he was able to readjust beautifully in the first DLH fight, but ever since he experienced loss he's been very one dimensional, especially in the Wright fights. I think that's why Cotto is going to win, if Mosley experiences the alfamous Cotto pressure he won't be able to readjust just like Judah wasn't able to and get pummelled around until he takes a knee. Shane's a great guy and I'd hate to see that happen, but I just can't see it any other way.

As for Floyd knowing he can beat Mosley, he might think it, but I don't think it'll happen that easilly. Mosley is like Judah with slower legs (these days), but more ring smarts and focus. Floyd lost the first couple of rounds because Judah beat him to the punch and was beating him until he lost focus, I don't think Mosley will lose focus and by the way Floyd fights I think he'll be able to readjust. I'm not saying that Mosley will win, just that it'd be an interesting fight

As for the last bit of your post, I don't really understand what your point is.

Mosley: "*cough*If it goes to the cards, I want all the powerful interests involved to give it to Cotto because I'm probably going to retire anyway"

In Mayweather's mind he already believes he's secured his legacy. He's openly said that on repeated occasions. The winner of this fight will be the biggest money fight too so he can't make any bull**** excuses saying that it isn't a smart business move because we all know he's about the money and not the challenge. I think Mosley could give Mayweather problems but I still don't see him being able to do the job. The only person in the welterweight division who I could see beating Mayweather is Paul Williams.

****, after the ass whoopin he's going to get on Nov 10th, he's not going to want to fight again. Happy Retirement, Shane!

[pesticid]

Measley is a ***** for saying he wouldn't consider fighting Paul WIlliams or Kermit Cintron. Why, cause they are talller? MAyweather is the safest fight for him and Measley is the safest fight at WW for Mayweather. Cotto will fight all of them including Margarito.

I didnt know how many Mosley haters their was, I respect the man he has fought some of the best and he has a good flashy style, I think he's to good of a boxer to lose to Cotto Dont get me wrong I like Cotto but I just think that Shane will box around him all day and he has a good chin.
