Berto: "I Will Retire Shane Mosley, I Promise You That"

[SuperTrooper]

Shane's gonna whoop some ass!

[ShoulderRoll]

Shane + ****m Richardson is a great combination. If only Shane had fought 1 or 2 more times this year I think he'd really be honed to a sharp edge.

The fact that he has been off so long though makes me think this will be a very close fight.

berto: iwill retire shane

mosley will knockout berto!!! berto is inexperienced, no defense.

Mosley may be a little past his prime, but he still has plenty left for Berto, or whoever else he fights. Mosley by TKO.

Mosley is a LOT past his prime, but he is still good enough to beat Berto.

As a lightweight, Mosley was little short of amazing, loads of powerful combinations, a punch like a sledge hammer, speed like a rocket, and a chin like granite.

Undoubtedly, for me anyway, the best lightweight of the past 20 years.

Berto by UD.. Your not gonna beat Berto throwing 1 punch at a time. Stop letting the Margarito win get to you idiots heads

[jowee]

in berto's last 2 fights, it only shows that berto has problems with southpaws. but berto is not just a brawler, he can also be a technical fighter (he is like a bigger version is tim bradley). he can slug it out and he can also box beautifully. and mosley had problems with good technical boxers, like vernon forrest, winky wright, and miguel cotto.

So berto has a very good chance here--but a KO win is very unlikely.

Explain how telling the truth is "stopping low".

Doesn't Mosley have a history of steroid abuse?

Don't exactly know what you mean by "abuse"? The facts were well publicized and the Boxing Commission, as far as I know, accepted Mosley's account of his actions and reasons.

Was he penalized in any way? I can't exactly recall, but I don't think he was. He has always seemed a "straight-up" sportsman, with an excellent personal reputation, in his public persona at any rate.

I'm open to correction, if anyone knows any more than this.

[edgarg]

Your an idiot.That was a overconfident Berto.People learn from their errors fool.

Berto will beat Mosley if Mosley does`nt get a gift and you could quote me on that.

That had nothing to do with overconfidence. He was outspeeding his opponent, and left himself open for a very pretty short left hook/uppercut. It didn't even seem to have much power in it.

When does "confidence" pass the red line into "overconfidence".

Very difficult to know.

Is the fight signed yet? I'm hearing its on/off

[badboypeenoy]

This would be a "stay-busy" fight for Mosley. Mayweather's next.
