The Curious Case of Sugar Shane Mosley.

i like moseley but not really a huge fan of him. maybe the reason why he doesnt have a huge fan base is because he is just good but not someone special. he always fell short when he steps up his game.

I don't know why either

I always love watching his fights. maybe becausehes too nice outside the ring idk.

Why doesn't Shane Mosley have a big nuthugging fanbase? He is an exciting guy to watch. He is the prime example I show people when they say "black American fighters run". He's super fast. He's not scared to go toe to toe. He dominated as a lightweight. His resume is second to none among anyone in boxing right now (outside Manny Pacquiao maybe). Is it the Balco thing? The losses to Winky and Vernon? Looking bad at 154? I just never understood why Shane Mosley doesn't have a huge fanbase like Pacquiao, Mayweather, Margarito (before he was caught), or Cotto? He's one of my favorites (I'm not one to nuthug) and alot of people will say the same but why doesn't he have a big nuthugging fanbase? I really hope IF (still trying to analyze this fight) he beats Berto that he gets a shot at the Pacquiao/Mayweather winner because he would give either one of those guys lots of problems and I'd favor him to win.

It is strange ... Even after the Margarito win, no one really jumped on his band wagon for long. Mosley is one of the greats but his personality, coupled with his career choice short-comings have been his undoing over the long run. Couple those faults with his past association with Balco and his Ex-wife's management ...... And you have a Superstar that never had his time to really, really shine.

And if he loses to Berto ........ Wham!!!!!!!

Mosley - A superstar, only to be mentioned as an afterthought, because its too late to get his due.

Sad, but true story.

i thinks it's because of his overall demeanor. I mean boxing is a high testosterone sport with high testosterone fans. Shane's just chill and laid back and doesnt really hype his fights. I still love watchin him though. I've never seen a more athletic fighter besides pacman in their prime like shane, and even then i dont pacman could **** wit prime 135 shane.

Damn that kind of sums it up but I hope you're wrong.

Mosley has a far bigger fan base than Margarito and all in all probably bigger than Cotto, stop lying to yourself ****.
