Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. Mosley is an All-American Bout

[iloveboxing2]

Well I hope you are right...

But actual fight is much more different..a lot of pressure..it will be very hard to chase a guy and then throw a KO punch too.. if Mosley was younger maybe. Mosley needs to KO Jr..in the earlier rounds.

i kinda think the lay off will help mosley cuz of his age look at b-hop sometimes he don't fight for a year but all way's look's fresh he is a gym rat so is money so is mosley they will both be ready

I am glad the fight may happen, this fight should have happened 4-5 years ago..Mosley doesn't need a tune-up, too risky for him. This bout is just going to be like Cotto-Mosley bout.

He does need a tuneup. 16 months is a long time. Not against anyone who has a shot, just someone to get some real rounds in with. He could fight someone who has no power, no D, and no fundamentals. There's someone out there who fits that description and wouldn't require a large payday like Berto. Like I said, Mosley is being sacrificed so Mayweather can be the face of GBP to compete with Pac and Top Rank.

De la Hoya was washed up when May and Pac fought him. Baldomir was never good and no one who calls themselves a boxing fan should claim he was a legit opponent. Neither was Marquez.

You forgot Judah. Judah lost the undisputed WW title by close decision to Baldomir the fight before Floyd. Was Judah undersized and over the hill? Say what you want about Baldomir, but the fact is he was undefeated for 9 years and he was the lineal champ at WW. He was huge, at his prime, and had a granite chin.

no way will this be the same fight cotto always came foward and broke down his opponet down untill mosley was hurtin him mosley had a war game plan for cotto he know's he is fighting money and will have a different plan for him trust not the same fight

Yeah, Miguel Cotto has never really been vocal about fighting
Floyd Mayweather Jr AT ALL. Everyone else at 147 wanted or
called Floyd out but Cotto.

That's a lie. Cotto never called out Pac, Mosley, Mayweather, Margarito, Clottey, Quintana, Malignaggi, Foreman, or anyone else. That's not his style. The good fighters who did call out Mayweather never got the chance to fight him anyways because he decided to conveniently retire.

Regardless of what happens though we all know a prime Mosley uses Mayweather as Quilted Northern.

hmmmmm..... A prime Mosley and a hungry up
and coming Mayweather Jr? I don't know about
that considering Floyd wanted to fight Mosley
when he was the man at 135 and Mosley went
for Oscar because Flyod was the high risk, low
reward fight.

I Agree with you...

..Mosley just wants the creame of the crop...But if fights Berto..I believe that he will actually KO Berto..Mosley is quick but Jr. is just quicker..

He does need a tuneup. 16 months is a long time. Not against anyone who has a shot, just someone to get some real rounds in with. He could fight someone who has no power, no D, and no fundamentals.

i somewhat agree with you but i dont know mosley has always end his fight's with the same energy he started with you are right money is a whole different kind of fighter let's hope mosley don't get old over night and we can get one hell of a fight

Judah to me was a legit opponent despite the fact that he lost to Baldomir. He overlooked his opponent and Baldomir capitalized on it. Props to him. But Baldomir is trash. Period. I don't care whether it was May, Pac, Cotto, PWill, or whoever that fought him. He's not a legit opponent. Not losing in 9 years when you're not fighting high caliber comp is pointless. His resume is trash.

Bla, bla, bla. I've talked about this plenty of times. Floyd was never serious about fighting Mosley back in the day. He was calling out Hamed more than he was Mosley. The tooth ache thing was to make way for the Oscar fight and he didn't have a lot of time to drop from 154 to 147 after he fought Vargas. Plus it was already set in stone that Mosley was gonna take time after that fight so Floyd called him out after knowing that just to look tough.

Lets be accurate. It wasn't a toothache, it was a loose front tooth.
