    this generalization is so ******.

    the styles of winky and forrest, not to mention their physical attritubes are what lost the fight for mosley... not because of their skin color.

    Bscene just got ******er today, thanks to this thread.

        You're a ****ing idiot. He was busy fighting another AA when Spinks held the belt! Now go the **** away, you cornball alias.

          Trust me, it wasn't the reason.

          And I'm not anyone's Shane Mosley fan. Anyone who knows me can tell you that much. Criticism of any kind doesn't matter to me, so long as it's justified.

          But just to show that I'm a good sport, let me get you started with this otherwise ******** of a thread...

          How come Shane Mosley never fought Stevie Johnston at 135?

I wonder how that will go.

                  He did chase Mayweather around now for some time, but Mayweather has had his layoff and nobody knew how good he was before the Marquez bout. So the same criticism that Pacquiao has been getting can ironically be applied towards Mosley.
                  Mosley didnt chase or call out mayweather until recently.

                  May has been trying to fight Mosley for years and Mosley never payed him no mind and gave May the cold shoulder because May was a threat and not the biggest name out there.

                    He and Shane reigned as lightweight titlists at the same time in the late 1990's.

                    In citing Shane's knack for taking on all comers, it's most often asked why he never fought Stevie Johnston... who just so happens to be African-American.

                    Was trying to give you a head start, and ya still blew it!

                    Keep in mind, I'm just having fun witcha, though.
