Shane Mosley is delusional

[Mary Jane]

He was tired, but he was still racking up points. I thought he showed good versatility.

And the Margarito fight proved he didn't have much versatility.

I had it 7-5 for Cotto

What is interesting about Mosley in that interview is he is accusing Floyd of ducking welterweights in general, saying Floyd is targeting lightweights.

It is strange because Mosley is part owner of Golden Boy, who is promoting the fight. Conflict of interest anyone?hehe

I agree. I think it's mosley knowing he's on his way out and won't take getting punked like that. Forget about your employer full credit to him for standing up for himself.

Every fighter can have a bad fight. Never write a fighter off who has a loss. I think he was cheated against anyway. Just a strong feeling i have.

All I know is Cotto was running like he saw the Excorsist in the final rounds of that fight.

unlike you, the majority of boxing fans saw a versatile cotto. even mosley said that cotto surprised him with his boxing abilities.

you say he seemed like he saw the exorcist and mosley says that cotto was impressive... the opinion of one of you is bull****... how i wonder whose is

I want Cotto to keep winning so he could fight Mayweather, but I was just calling it like I saw it.

well i don't know about you, but mosley himself, the man that was trading with him, saw it differently

my apologies for the disrespect though

[ИATAS]

when I watched it live I scored it a draw. re-watched and scored it for cotto.

Needless to say it was a close fight.

Another interesting tidbit was where Floyd said something along the lines of, "why should i fight them? They are out there beating each other."

What Floyd does not understand is they are out there fighting each other and making themselves endearing to the fans. They are taking huge risks by fighting others who can beat them. That is the stuff the fans and historians will remember more than anything.

The reason Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Leonard are legends, is because they fought and beat each other. That is how you become great, by daring to be great.

Your bf floyd does that in every round even if he wins every round against hatton, he fights like that. What kind of crackpot are you to attack cotto when thats the style of your lover?

Floyd may have boxed going backwards vs. Hatton, but he was throwing the entire fight, jabbing, counter punching, tying Hatton up on the inside, doing the dirty work in close to the body, precision, accuracy, speed, repetition, Floyd completely waxed Hatton and put him to bed as he snatched away his zero. The only fights you see Floyd box going backwards besides that is Baldomir and DLH, but that is because those guys outweighed him by 25 pounds on fight night.
