A Whirlwind Career: The Unfortunate Shane Mosley

[Iceta]

I just heard this fight between Mosley and Clottey isn't a done deal yet from Dan Rafael on ESPN. It's Clottey who hasn't put his name on the dotted line yet.

WTF are you talking about only cotto gave people a chance when he didn't have to? What the **** was Forrest and Wright? I've always felt shane was under-rated and under-appreciated. The man always tries to go for a knock out and always tries to fight with all he can.

And everyone can **** off with roidsley bull****. Roy Jones Jr and countless other fighters have tested positive for banned substances too, but no one ever brings that up every ****ing post.

thing about is shane didnt have to face vernon or winky but he wants that challendge. i wouldve have fought dlh again either. & the only reason he tried so hard to get pacman is so he can corner floyd into fighting him. dude has been short end of the his whole career

MOsley is my Fav fighter right now and def my top 3 all time. I just wish he would have taken on floyd when he was at 135. Both young and Prime. But other than that he fought stiff competition and came up short a few times. All his losses are to respectable opponents. I hope he wipes out Clottey then he takes out Berto and fights the pac cotto vs jmm Floyd winnerlate 2010 and goes out on top.
I knows its a lot to ask but why the *** not?

Mosley unfortunate? Come on. In no other sport would he have gotten away with taking the substances he admittedly did.

And despite losing 5 out of 13 fights since 2002, he is still considered to be a superstar? Hats off for his win against Margarito, but Mosley has been erratic. And he has gotten the respect he deserves, and a little bit more...

Yeah, in no other sport have people caught taking juice gone back to their field of play.

Hey, what's A-Rod hitting this year?

That wasn't a remotely realistic fight at 35. Mosley left 135 in 1999.

SSM has still had a damn good career, even if he ain't get the shine he deserved. He squandered a lotta momentum this yr by waitin around for Pac and Mr boat buyer, but if he can beat Clottey he's back in the limelight. He may get 1 more big fight after wit the Pac-Cotto winner.

How did he wait for "Mr. Boat Buyer"?? He lowballed with a 8mil offer and was quickly rejected...

It could have been realistic but Jack Mosley wanted 10mil to fight FMJ at 135..

Note the rest of the quote where Jack noted the fight wasn't worth eight figures combined. The two were possible future super fight mates in 99...you don't spoil that early. It wasn't realistic.

Am not feeling any sympathy for Mosley at all, He has been in some great match ups, Great paydays and he was exactly like the rest when they're at the top...Arrogant....Only Cotto and i would say it again Only Cotto gave people a chance when he didnt have to.
