2 Reasons why Mosley is DEAD WRONG

I have to admit if GBP owns all those fighters, then GBP has the cream of the crop at lightweight.Shane is a nice guy, but he's totally off base in his remarks about Cotto-Pac, and here's two major reasons why.......
1. He's complaining about Cotto-Pac being an "in-house" fight by Top Rank. That's pretty hypocritical coming from a GBP partner, considering GBP does more "in-house" fights than anyone in the sport today. Examples....
Diaz vs. Katsidis, and JMM
Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz, Katsidis, and JMM
JMM vs. Diaz, Casamayor, Barerra, and Juarez
And thats just at lightweight!!
Besides, 4 of Pac's last 5 opponents have been GBP fighters. Shane's "in-house" complaint is ridiculous.
2. Shane is calling for Top Rank to make Shane vs. Pac. Now if he was calling for Top Rank to make Shane vs. Cotto, his argument would have more teeth. But he's not. Instead of trying to make the fight against the guy who beat him, he is just mad that Cotto is getting the payday that he so desperately wants.Comment

But we can agree that he didn't sell staples center, it was clearly a margarito crowd. Cotto deserves the Pacquiao fight simply because he has beaten top welters, mosley and clotteyComment

Which is the point I was making. Just because the judges said Cotto won, doesn't make him a better fighter, or more deserving of a fight with Pacman especially considering how competitive Cotto Mosley was.Also you are being extremely arrogant with what you posted here. What you are saying is that THAT is the way YOU saw it, and anyone who disgrees with you is wrong. Well here's a newsflash for you. People disagree on fight results all the time!! Just because YOU thought it was a draw, doesnt mean that EVERYONE ELSE thinks that. And saying they "gave it" to Cotto is just ******. You say the fight was a draw, correct?? Well 2 judges had it 115-113 cotto. That means they disagreed with you about ONE ROUND. So because they disagreed with you about ONE ROUND, then there must be a big conspiracy because Cotto is "where the money is"? Here's a more likely scenario. Perhaps YOU were one round off on YOUR scorecard. But no, I'm sure that is not possible. lolol
One judge scored Capbell v. Diaz for Diaz, that doesn't mean Diaz won.
Park Si Hun beat Roy Jones Jr. at the Olympics... if you ask the judges. Your argument is that because the Judges say Cotto won, Cotto will awlays be the superior fighter, and the more deserving fighter, until Mosley secures a rematch, and beats him.
That is ******, and you know it.
You also know Arum is never going to put Cotto in there with Mosley again, especially after what he did to Margarito.Comment

Lets get one thing straight. I never once said Cotto "deserves" it more, or anything of the sort. Personally, I think EITHER Cotto or Shane fighting Pac are equally credible, or equally ******ed, depending on your perspective.Which is the point I was making. Just because the judges said Cotto won, doesn't make him a better fighter, or more deserving of a fight with Pacman especially considering how competitive Cotto Mosley was.

The whole point of this thread was not to say Cotto is somehow more credible than Shane. The point of this thread was to point out how absurd it is for Shane to cry about it, for the reasons I illustrated in the 1st post.
I personally think catchweights in title fights are horse****. Will I still watch it? Of course.
But now I regret making this thread in the first place, because now it seems as I am defending Cotto or something, which I'm not. I have no dog in this fight. I just think Shane whining about it is hypocritical and ridiculous, especially since he appearantly has no interest in rematching Cotto, which is the ONE fight he SHOULD be seeking.......Last edited by OnePunch; 06-20-2009, 02:11 AM.Comment

This is all besides the point because I don't think Mosley should be fighting any more. Hes showing signs of all the punishment he has taking in his ring. His speech patterns have changed noticeably in recent years, and even though he keeps winning, its only at the expense of his health.Lets get one thing straight. I never once said Cotto "deserves" it more, or anything of the sort. Personally, I think EITHER Cotto or Shane fighting Pac are equally credible, or equally ******ed, depending on your perspective.
