    I want the BHop-williams fights in order to see if williams is indeed great or just a tall guy with a long reach. If he fights bhop, it could answer a lot of question as bhop is a defense extraordinare and a master tactician.

    IMO, Mosley's statement seems a bit hypocritical. If he is willing to fight pac at 140, then money is his biggest motive. The 140 Mosley will not fare well against pac.

        Hopkins would take his soul.

          Williams Hopkins is a much better fight than Pavalik. And Mosely should fight Berto because everybody looks bad against clotty. But i don't see a Williams vs B-hop fight being made, its just to good to happen.

            b-hop vs PW

            See its possible they could meet at catch weight but i dont think b-hop is going to take the on short notice like some responded to one of my other comments either way b-hop wins it buy a boring UD.

              These boxing writers are getting way ahead of themselves. Calling Mosley the "best fighter" Pac or Mayweather could have fought and saying he would have been the hardest to get a win against.
              Despite a lot of the hate he has been getting, Miguel Cotto fought Mosley not too long ago, and he won a clear decision. Saying Mosley is the better fighter or harder fighter to beat is hardly the point of view a journalist should take at this point. With Cotto having beaten Clottey and Mosley, and the Margarito scandal, Cotto is clearly the top WW at this point.

                Of course they say that Paul wouldn't be ready to fight Shane @ 147 in October. Bull****. He's only been training for Pavlik for what, a week now? He could easily make it down to 147 by October 3rd to fight Shane. They just know. Shane just knows that Paul would whoop that ass worse than Vernon did. Worse than Winky did. Shane would get hurt like never before.

                Hopkins @ 170 is a bull**** fight for Paul. He's never been that high and Hopkins is not a good fight for Paul or anybody. Paul could win, but it's not worth it to fight Hopkins at that weight. Hopkins should come back to 160 to make the fight more fair. Maybe 165.

                  Mosley is the f**kin man! He's ready to woop some ass!
                  IMO if he can't find any fights at 147, and he doesn't want to move up in weight, he should move down or fight some jr welters. He's got guys like Bradley, ortiz, mediea, etc. Either at a catchweight or if there willing to move all the way up to 147, that'd be awesome. I think Bradley can make 147 easy. I want to see mosley back in the ring soon!

                    i would like to go back before the mosley marg fight and re-read what every one was saying about shane mosley. he beats an over rated extremly flawed and proven cheater and everone thinks his un-beatable. since his lost to cotto he beat a 35 yr old mayorga, and just i might add. so before you all have a go at my comments be honest and ask your self what u thought about sugar shane after cotto?????

                      Thats funny because before the Mosley fight, Margarito was the best welterweight in the world but because Mosley puts a beatdown on him he is all of a sudden overated.

                      Lets not forgot that Mosley was a 4-1 underdog going into the fight, it makes me laugh that he gets no credit for winning a fight he was supposed to lose.

                      how does Margarito being a cheater take credit away from Mosley also .
