Some People Call Shane Mosley An Opportunist, The Reality: He's A Desperate Hypocrite

[Adamantium]

Mayweather owes Mosley nothing. But I would like him to fight Mosley after he fights the winner of the Cott/Pac fight.

SekondzOut is right, fans who philosophize with fighters points of views of why they are straight up refusing to fight someone is why they can get away with it.

I dont see how anyone can justify cherry picking fights with, "he ducked him before" or "hes not a draw". Myaweather reached a financial status most people never will, and he still refuses to fight for anything bellow 10 mil?? and hes a boxer??

It's funny how Floyd haters conveniently forget that it used to be Money May chasing a fight with Mosley when he was just a young fighter on the comeup, and Shane avoided him like the plague when he had something to lose.

Now that the tables have turned, do you expect anything less then a prideful champion like Mayweather to show Mosley the same disregard he was given by him earlier in his career?

What type of message would that send to the kids in urban communities who Floyd frequently sacrifices his time to talk to? That disrespect and cowardice should be rewarded? Give me a break.

Between him dodging opponents then chasing them when it benefits him to claiming he's a "role model" when steroid accusations have been following him for most of his career, i think it's fair to say that Shane Mosley is one of the biggest hypocrites to ever lace on a pair of gloves. He gives the "Sugar" moniker a bad name.

LOL man ya'll sound like you're promoting Floyd yourselves and are looking for every reason for Floyd NOT to fight Shane.

Why do ya'll front as if this fight won't happen? Between Shane, Pac, and Cotto...Shane is the easiest fight to make, and you're gonna tell me it wont be a big money fight after they pulled 1 Mill from fighting Marquez???

LOL even Floyd got you fooled man. Shane is on their target, trust me.

why does a fighter of Shane's stature and caliber have to go around and ask for mega-fights?!?......boxing politics have started to affect even the fans!!!......these days fans are arguing about drawing power and have turned a man's sport into a ****in' popularity contest!!!.....now its all about numbers and revenue instead of heart and balls......skills aint even appreciated no more!!......for example.....in the last 2 weeks we've seen boxing clnics get performed by 2 world class fighters......how the hell can ANYONE **** on those 2 performances.....the guys won EVERY round with boxing SKILLS but that seemed to go unnoticed ........when I first started watchin' boxing it was all about the BEST fighting the BEST to be recognized as the BEST!!!.....not the dude who sales the PPV's or put asses in the seats because when the BEST fights the BEST those things will sale their self.....now days you need a 4 part countdown show to do the job!!!.......these shows make people crazy IMO......when Floyd-Hatton was signed......we KNEW Floyd was 10 levels better than this dude and it was EASY money....but 24/7 made it look like it was a fight Ricky could win......the same with the last 24/7.....JMM drinks pee and all of a sudden he can win a fight that he's extremely overmatched in .......all I'm tryin' to say is we as fans should DEMAND these promoters, managers and execs to give us our sport back!!!.....they ****in' it up!!!

Shane and Floyd is gonna get it on.......trust me!!!

good post... its all true

Floyd payed off his taxes with the Marquez fight alone so the fact that he's continuing to box and will for many more years destroys your assumption that he "only returned to pay off his taxes".

Chalk up another loss for the geek with the childrens cartoon in his Avatar.

exactly my point, he paid it with his comeback fight. you just made yourself look like an idiot, cong****

oh and yeah, having a BOXING cartoon on my avatar "may" be geeky, but what about having a shirtless man showing muscles? get out of here faggot

[fdotorres]

Whats that got to do with boxing or fighting shane??? Wow back on the subject i think Mayweather would probably wait for more options before he decides who he fights and like people know already money talks, If the Mosley fight pays more than a fight with Pac or cotto am sure Mayweather,HBO and GBP would go for that fight but it doesnt look like a Mosley fight pays enough for all the parties involve to make the fight.

what does his thread title have to do with boxing then? he called mosley a desperate hypocrite, and i pointed out that floyd's a desperate hypocrite too

Mayweather was chasing a fight with Mosley when he was younger? Lemme guess, you began watching boxing around 2005.

Was discussions of a bout taking place? Sure, hardcore fans and scribes clamored for it. Was Mayweather chasing a fight with him? Uhh no. I'd say he was chasing Hamed before I'd say he was chasing Mosley.

the regurgitation of the same points of view (Floyd chasing Mosley) get so redundant that it becomes fact for some.

It's amazing. I've been ignoring it but I'm really surprised how many people on here express this sentiment. Like...weren't you watching boxing back then? How come I don't recall this "Floyd chasing Mosley" business. Revisionist history at its finest.
