Mayweather: "Mosley Beat De La Hoya on Steroids"

[Jim Jeffries]

At least Mosley beat a prime De La Hoya.

Zalez,

When you guys belittle Delahoya and Hatton, you are rewriting Pac's accomplishments also.

If the Mayweather win over Oscar meant nothing, then the Pac win is a joke. In fact, then the decision to even fight DLH was bad. If Hatton was an overrated bum when Floyd fought him, what was he when Hatton fought him?

I understand that you hate Mayweather. But Pac's resume over the past two years requires that you respect Floyd's accomplishments.

this should be a thread of its own

[Jiddu Dali]

Whatever, Mosley is the Welterweight champ. The true champ. Mayweather is supposedly a welterweight but he's scared **** to fight the champ. It has nothing to do with the past. Mosley crushed Margarito who crushed Cotto. Three guys Mayweather is terrified to fight. Stick to the light weights Floyd Gayweather.

WHATEVER?

You are a steroids advocate in the sport of boxing?

[vke1231]

first of all margarito cheated against cotto n tried to end his career with cement gloves, so dont ever bring that fight up again,any1 who brings that fight up is banned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mi querido, you are getting lost in the "challenge" aspect. By the time a guy reaches the level that Oscar, Floyd, Pac, Bernard, etc reach, they are not looking for the best 'challenge', they are looking for the biggest fights.

If you are gonna be stuck on the "challenge" thing, then go ahead and hate FMJ because there's no argument that anybody can make. But if you can move past that, then you should accept that to the community at large, Marquez is the bigger opponent. Commercially speaking.

After Oscar became #1 p4p, he fought Castillejo, vargas, mayorga, etc. Do you see Winky or Forrest on that resume?

Hopkins fought Winky at 170, and Pavlik at 170. Those guys were not even LHW's.

Pac's past two years has consisted of the third-best Diaz, then Oscar and Ricky. Do you feel that was the "best challenge" during his prime years?

If you want to see these guys 'challenged', then catch them on the way up. Because when they get to the top, there are so many hands in the till, and so many people who depend on them to generate revenue, that they will be all about the "biggest fights out there". They already paid the cost to be the boss.

True Story.

Are you telling me that JMM-Mayweather is a bigger fight than Mosley-Mayweather? I don't. JMM has never really been beloved by Mexicans. He never was looked at the level of the Morales or Barrera. Even though I think he is better than both of them. He was never as popular. Even Margarito was more popular. JMM-Floyd is not even going to sell the place out. Whilie I honestly do believe that Mosley-Mayweather would of been sold out by now. I also believe Mosley-Mayweather could do around 700k ppv. While JMM-Mayweather might do 550k buys. So IMO by 'challenge' aspect or by big fight Mosley-Mayweather sounds better than JMM-Mayweather.

Also Oscar was not consider top P4P when he fought Castillejo, Vargas, and Mayorga. Especially with Mayorga. When Oscar was consiedered top P4P player. He was fighting a passed his prime but still really good Whitaker, Ike Quartey, a weight drained Trinidad, and a prime Sugar Shane Mosley.

Winky Wright and Pavlik fights were considered challenges to B-Hop at the time. Especially the Pavlik fight.

Also Oscar and Hatton going into it was considered challenges for Pac. They might of been big fights. But, not a lot of ppl gave Pac a chance at Oscar. Even though everybody knew Oscar was beyond shot. Some fans felt Hatton would of been too strong for Pac. Not a lot but some saw this as a challenge.

At least Mosley beat a prime De La Hoya.

Mosely didn't win the rematch, clear win for DLH. Infact, Mosely should be ashamed that he cheated and didn't win.

[kingfaze19]

this interview is OLD as hell, yall talking as if floyd just said this yesterday, this thing is old and done with.

and floyd would stomp on mosley, just like he will stomp on any of yall favorite fighters.. cotto, pacquiao, clottey, margarito whoever yall like will lose to moneymay. the way cotto got his ass whooped vs margarito makes me laugh when people actually think he could beat floyd, who is way more accurate than margarito, he will probably kill cotto (literally). and for yall saying he cheated in that fight, put a sock in it, theres NO proof of that, we ONLY know he cheated vs mosley.
