After re-watching the Mosley-Floyd ring fiasco. Shane punked out.

[Swag Hustla]

Yeah, he called him over to shake his hand and show some respect to Mosley... he was going to say I'm not afraid of any fighter which is nothing wrong IMO because everybody fighter does that... and he started well, then fight ram ram ram... do you honestly think after an fight and how he was attacked that they going to talk smooth and negotiate a fight c'mooooooon...

It was clear that this ends like that... Hopkins had to open his mouth too... both guys simply have to understand that yes they are fighters but if they are there as promoters for GB (De la Hoya wasn't there) and start something like that is at least unprofessional... I felt it was disrespectful as well... I mean have you ever seen Mosley step into an ring after a P-Will fight and start ****... it was an ego act... he wanted to fight Mayweather (which is nothing wrong with it) but if this is the new way... why ain't he stepped into the ring after Pac-Cotto??? After Martinez-P-Will... I guess he could have gotten cards for this fight too or? He was there as a promoter to represent GB... if you feel he did well in his job... you are entitled to your opinion... I felt it was unprofessional and disrespectful... he ain't said something disrespectful but if you feel the need to interrupt an post fight interview for your own purposes it is disrespectful... if this was the usual way then it would happen all the time.

Mosley can talk all day before the match or after the match if he gets interviewed but not in Mayweather's time...

It was Kellerman who allowed Mosley in there. It's not like Shane and Hopkins barged in, cut off Floyd, and pulled the mic off of his hand. And Floyd shook Mosley's hand and didn't get upset until Shane asked for a fight. Then Kellerman cut off Floyd after he (Kellerman) was the one who stirred the ****.

And that confrontation gave Floyd more a reason to take on Mosley. This fight probably wouldn't even happen if it wasn't for that.

max shoulved allowed the interview to go on....that **** would been even more classic...wouldve made a better watch then ending it...imagine what else floyd wouldve said after he got all mad....

Shane isn't good at that ****, he's too reserved to hype anything. This thread is still :wank:

I never said that they did... but there was no reason for them to start talking... Mayweather said... that he is a great fighter and that he isn't afraid of him... instead of giving props back they attacked... Kellerman is a clown anyways... I mean he let them get into that... then when Floyd in his time wants to talk he cuts away because he told him to STFU... and afterwards he ripped him that he takes questions negative from him??? Hellooooooo

I agree I think it sparked him... because he wanted Mosley for a long time even when he was in his prime... but Pacquiao was the big business... Mosley got what he wanted (mother nature helped too a bit)... still... IMO it was uncalled for... Hopkins is known as being disrespectful... I can't expect that he becomes an class act... but Mosley usually was...

[tito_bhb]

it was clearly kellerman who says mosleys name,then floyd ushers him over,so mosley is invited into the interview. he respectfully says he would like to have a boxing match with floyd,then to me it seems like bhop buts in says sumit and thats when floyd gets angry as if hes gettin jumped on by 2 people as once,and bhop ruins anything else worthwile being said,jus bickering and angryness.lol.

was entertaining though at the time.good for the 24/7 clips.ha.

Don't expect anything from Hopkins, I just think it's unfair to say Mosley was disrespectful. He congratulated Floyd, submissively put his hands up and said "all I want is a chance to get it on."

I am just saying Kellerman was doing a ****ty job as an announcer. He pissed off Floyd in the situation that he started, then he actually pulled the mic off Floyd's hand. If you want controversy, you better go all the way and not cut things off when you can't handle a situation that you created. Kellerman disrespcted Floyd and to a smaller extent Mosley.

Floyd started stammering when Max mentioned Shane Mosley
"wel, uh, um, well, uh, um..."

[Allucard]

No Kellerman was a **** head.

He was nitpicking at everything Floyd said. Then he says well there is a fighter here today that is YOUR size.

But When Shane stepped into the ring we saw he was really NOT his size. Hypocrites.

Probably I'm a little hard on Mosley because I ain't expected it from him... with Hopkins nothing surprises me anymore to tell you the truth... I never really liked Shane I don't why... but he always handled himself as an class act... I have no problem that Shane wants a fight with Floyd... but everybody knows this you know... it's not like he dropped a bomb there... and we all know how tense May is after fight in interviews because of his relationship with HBO commentators (which is partly his fault)... and if someone comes in and then says... then let's get it on... it was crystal clear that he felt disrespected which he obvisouly did... I think it was an awkward situation and I believe that if DLH would have been there it wouldn't have happened... DLH is slimebag as well and hates Floyd probably too... but he is professional enough to know when it is promote time and when it is fight time...

Kellerman is a weird dude anyways... I mean if Floyd fights or is around him he acts like a nuthugger... but if Floyd isn't around he usually has a very negative opinion about him... I would wish that Roy Jones comes back... Merchant is more or less ok with me...
