This post didn't really address anything that I mentioned. Mosley took less money to fight Berto than he would've gotten to fight Paul Williams. But it's not a duck because Mosley is a warrior. And to get it out there, I'm not a Floyd fan at all. I'd just rather see someone in their prime get a shot at Floyd and someone that is not rusty like Mosley probably is right now from bitching and complaining about not getting a fight.
It took Berto a long ass time to finally man up and fight Mosley when Paul Williams would've fought him at the drop of a hat. And now that Mosley bitched about not getting a fight with a big name instead of manning up and fighting Paul Williams earlier this year, he probably would've gotten a big money fight with one of the other guys early in 2010. But instead he's not ahead of the game and all the other fighters are gonna be tied up negotiating with each other while Mosley fights this unproven prospect.
Basically what I'm saying is Mosley could've fought Paul Williams in October like Pavlik was supposed to do, and get that out of the way and his chances of getting another fight he wanted would've been a lot better. And just because he may have lost doesn't mean that would've wiped him off the map. He would just have to make the fight competitive like he did with Cotto. If it had to take place at 154, Mosley could've made the weight because he's done it before.
is berto really an unproven prospect if his last six fights have been for some kind of belt and he's beaten two legit belt holders his past two fights? He may not be elite yet but he's a long way from prospect which is why mosley's fighting him

Winning a vacant belt from some bum and beating Collazo in a controversial fight is not impressive to me. It didn't impress Mosley either, and that's why he's fighting him.

I'm not going to look back through the threads but I know your views ice and you and I have very similar feeling about boxing and this situation. I agree with the above post.
