    Mosley Retiring?

    After his loss to Cotto do you think Mosley will retire?

    I don't think he has anything to be ashamed of after a great career, and putting up a damn good fight against one of the top WW in the world, but he might want to go out on a win. Sounds like he wants to kick back and train his son though.

      I think he probably has 2-3 more fights in him. I'd see him fighting another 2 solid fighters and depending on if he wins than he leaves the ring. I could see him fighting maybe Judah, Forrest (to prove something to himself), maybe Mayorga. I dont think he would like to end his career in defeat. Great fighter, one of the best of our times.

        He's got another fight left in him, and I doubt he'll turn away from the money.

          I don't think so because the way he losses that fight is not a loss. In my opinion that fight is draw. He must fight Cotto again. The way he fights he can fight 2-3 fights more.

            your statement is way inaccurate..

            re assess your view.

              Cotto beat Mosley with decision that was unanimous from the judges. Cotto did more than enough during the remainder of the fight to warrant the victory, with some solid boxing early on and sweet counter combos in the latter rounds. What makes you think the fight should've been a draw?

                I really hope he doesn't retire, Cotto is one of my favorite fighters and I'm very excited that he won the fight, but I think Mosley deserved a shot at Mayweather and should still market himself for a fight with him. I think Mosley is one of the few fighters still out there that can actually beat Mayweather. I think he should fight Mayorga if he wins the upcoming bout with Vargas. I think Shane still has the status to challenge one of the top WW like Margarito, Cintron or Williams. If Williams loses the fight with Cintron I think a bout between Williams and Mosley would be incredible

                  if he retires then we should all thank him for giving us so many great boxing memories. he's the best fighter i have seen during the 10 years i've been following boxing and will go down as one of the greatest lightweights of all time, if not the best. but like you guys say he'll prob want to go out on a win and i hope he does

                    As long as fight fans are willing to pay big bucks to see him fight , he'll continue. The money would be just a hard thing to resist. I don't believe fight fans are that dumb so another big fight right after the Cotto loss doesn't seem to be in the cards so I'll bet he retires but you never can tell look at Holyfield. They'll wheel him up to the ring and remove his drool cup so he can fight and folks will pay to see it!!
