Don’t Go Away Mad, Shane… Just Go Away

[Dave Rado]

That's understandable though, because it is impossible to win by decision against Cotto in Madison Square Garden.

All that matters is who the judges are - where it's held doesn't matter in the least, provided they pick neutral judges with good reputations. Giving Mosley a veto over the judges and the ref would have solved that problem. Mosley could have insisted on that veto, but he didn't really want to fight Cotto.

Cotto beat Floyd Mayweather? this is the dude who barely beat Paulie Malignaggi and Joshua Clottey? Apart from beating Sugar Shane on an off day who has he beat of any substance? Zab Judah who come off 2 Loses and a no contest. Come on get real

Cotto fan's are the most dillusional Fan's in boxing thinking he will beat Pacquaio and Floyd where do u dream these things up? he has a chance against Pacquaio but not much, he has no or little chance against Floyd

fact of the matter is shane is not a draw, never has never will be, he got lucky against margarito, cotto beats him again if they fight next year.

Lucky against Margarito? You're a ****ing idiot.

This is a lot of hating. Cotto vs Mosley was very close and most had t 115-113 for Cotto, which means he won by a single round. Since then Mosley has rebouded big time, and has looked great, and Cotto has never looked as good as when he fought Mosley. Forget what anybody says, Margarito beat Cotto fair and square, took the number one spot, and then god DESTROYED by Shane which gives him the spot. I'll take a razor thin loss, and then a domanant ruthless KO win over the number one guy over a razor thin win and a career ending ass kicking loss any day.

Stiles make fights, you are not going to look good in every fight. That said, Cotto and Mosley was very close. Mosley is a great fighter, he comes to fight and he can take a punch. Cotto won that fight, I was there. Cotto won 115-113 so it was very close. Cotto fought Clottey with a gash, a gash that many fighters would have quit after the fourth round. Cotto continue to fight and won that fight, not a great performance for many individuals, but considering the circumstances, I think he did a hell of alot. Clottey could have pressed the fight and continue picking at the eye, until Cotto would have quit. Many feel that it was not a great performance from Cotto, but he fought with a huge gash and did enough to win. Not every fight he is going to win with a KO, he is fighting the best. I remember many here felt he did not have a chance against Clottey. Can anyone here say that it was a robbery? That Clottey did so much better than Cotto that they stole the fight from him? No. In one round, he spent the whole round on the ropes, while Cotto was throwing punches throughout the complete round. They all might not have landed, but to some judges, which by the way did maybe two did not have a clear view, Clottey was just laying on the ropes, while Cotto was swinging away.

But the constant rant that he's the No. 1 welterweight in the world and the accompanying whine that every fighter within 10 pounds seems to be avoiding him is getting old.

he has not fought quite enought at WW lately

Shane Mosley before beating Margarito has not been a champ at 147 since beating Oscar De La Hoya 06-17-2000 and lost it to Vernon Forrest 01-26-2002

to be ranked high at the weight you have to fight good competition at the weight

Cotto beating PBF is yet to be seen. Correct on barely beating Clottey but he did it with a cut for 9 rounds that many would had quit. Zab Judah was KOed and Mosley on an off day is just your opinion (i beleive your wrong here to), but to say that Cotto barely beat Paulie is totally wrong.

And you talk about "dillusional". COME ON GET REAL

[pinkivory]

Yea im sure u weren't too pleased when he retired ur boy in ur avi....Vargas, LOL. First gave him a nice knot on his eye that made him quit...then KO'd him right after when he was complaining he wanted a rematch...and sugar shane served him up....i mean c'mon dawg, even delahoya said it....shane messed up by demolishing margarito and got people shook now (yea yea and the pwill "ducking" thing is gettin old, i'm sure shane will fight him next year if he come back down in weight from middleweight).

He should've demolished Cotto. He might have shaken some people, but Cotto fought him already. He lost to Cotto, plain and simple. It was a case of who wanted it more. Mosley should have knocked him the way he knocked Margo, specially since fighting at MSG. If you know you are not going to get a fair decision, you woop that ass, like you wooped Margo. Why he did not do it? because he could not do it. Simple, Cotto won end of story. Wether it was very, very close, he lost, plain and simple.

[philb]

Well im done wit these convo's, lets just wait and see....after the pac-cotto fight im gonna log on and search for u die hard cotto fans, i'm sure all of u will be on hiatus after dudes chin is rocked. The the guy that was askin me to compare shanes opponents to cotto's.....why did u conveniently forget to mention that ricardo torres and demarcus corley of alll people!!! gave ur boy the linguini legs...why don't we talk bout that huh?

all these new school boxin fans have very short memories....and who cares about who is a bigger draw in boxing, last i checked this wasn't a popularity contest, but u softies make it seem like if a dude ain't got rockstar status he's nothin in boxin, u guys should be ashamed of urselves, now where my oldschool cats at that know the fight game for what it is?
