    Shane Mosley

    I read an article that Mosely wants to move up to 160lbs to fight Tito if he wins against Winky....I don't think he will, unless he gets a gift.

    Here's the problem. Moving up has done nothing but destroy Shanes career. Now that his speed is diminishing (the only thing he had going for him in the higher weight classes) how does he think he can handle guys like Titio or B-Hop at 160lbs? All this weight jumping is ruining otherwise good fighters careers. The lust for cash and the unwillingness to train as hard is getting out of hand.

    Many examples of this have been happening recently. Mayorga had no business at 160lbs. Margarito didn't fair well at 154lbs (at least he had the sense to move back down). DLH got way out of his league at 160lbs.

    Just a random thought.

    Mosley going up further in weight is a career suicide. I like both Winky and Mosley and I'm giving him a fair chance to beat Winky this time but talking about going up in weight if he wins against Winky is just plain crap.

      At this point in Mosleys' career, it's a mistake to be sure, I loved to watch him in his prime, but I was so disappointed that he just couldn't win the really big fight with any authority. I don't think he beat DeLaHoya...
