Shane Mosley is the definition of a risk taker.

[AnimalisticMeth]

Risks? Those are not risks by Mosley, other than Forrest and Winky most of those were risks by his opponentents. Cotto was coming up and was the bigger draw of the two, he choose to give Mosley a chance not the other way around. Same against Margarito, he had no options and Margarito choose him and now same thing for Mayweather, Mosley had no options and the bigger draw choose him.

THOSE ARE RISKS BY HIS OPPONENTS WHO HAVE MORE TO LOSE THAN MOSLEY.

Thats a duck homie. He skipped Floyd, Kosta and Williams.

He didnt even fight anyone last year other Marg. He didnt get the Pc or Floyd fight. So why not fight Paul?

I understand you do not like Mosley, but I don't get this ducking bollocks. Shane jumped up to fight a prime DLH for the WW title. Had he ignored PBF, and for the sake of this discussion, Kostya at 140, to fight some soft opponent, I would agree it was a duck. But that isn't true.

And I don't agree with Shane wasting last year either, it was foolish by him to do so. I know he admitted he'd have a ***** of a time handling Paul's style. But did he duck him? I don't think so, because Paul had no right to demand anything. He was gone from WW for a few fights and no longer ranked in the division. Now if Paul had still been a ranked WW challenger and Shane had sat out all year instead of fighting him, I'd agree that it was a duck. But again, it simply isn't true.

i wont say those are risks. you could argue those are the best fights he could get at the time. he still gets my respect though.

Are you ******ed Kosta is one of the GREATEST 140 Pounders of all time.

Williams was in a close fight. Last I checked Martinez got hit at will.

Kosta is not an ATG at any weight. And Martinez did not "get hit at will." Lose the lying, *****.

This is why Mosley is the man. Sucks his divorce left him searching for only money fights last year like the other divas, but in the past dude has always stepped to the best guys around. Hell he still is now.

[GODd*ll*nGer]

It's not only because of the fact that he fought both Winky and Forrest back to back. But it's also because he took on Antonio Margarito in his territory even though it's technically Shane's territory too, but a hostile crowd nontheless. And before that he took on Cotto in MSG with the judges against him and he should've gotten the decision in that fight even though it was close in my opinion. The only guy he's really blatantly ducked is Paul Williams, but look at how it paid off in the long run and Williams wasn't even at 147 at the time that Shane turned him down. Mosley is all in all, a stand up cat.

You know ive gotten to the point where im sick of hearing WW ducking Williams.. if he wants to be a WW fight 5 straight fights there.. Dont ****in start your career at 154 then go to 147 then up to 160 then everywhere else... He is a threat and the reason not to fight him is evident.. he's bigger then everybody else and not a champ... I like Paul but if your gonna fight WW fight all the bums there and become a mandatory!

[flyest1]

I agree with the TS. Shane and I have to add Tito fought everyone and every style. They never ducked anyone

[ny123]

Yeah he definitely is a risk taker, he claims he injected roids into his system even though he was unaware of what he was taking.

what about that ??

So jumping from lightweight to welter to fight Oscar wasn't a risk??Fighting Margarito as a 4 to 1 underdog wasn't a risk??Curious to know,would fighting Marquez at 147 or above be considered a risk to u??

How is that is risk by Mosley? he was not a big name when he jump from Lightweight to Welterweight and if he lost he would have the "I got beat by a bigger man" excuse, mosley had nothing to lose and everything to gain by moving up, Oscar was the one who took the risk and many tought he was picking on small dudes. Were the **** was Mosley before the Margarito fight? he was out boxed by Cotto and whent 12 rounds with a shot Mayorga, to many he was at the end of his career and had no options, Margarito was hot at the time and could have chill until Cotto came back to do a rematch that would have goten him even more money, he was the one who took the risk not Mosley.
