Comments Thread For: Mosley Plans To Take Mayweather Out, Then Pacquiao

[Rome-By-Ko]

This was Dougie Fischer's response to a Mayweather fanboy who had claimed May to be the greatest thing since sliced bread;

You have a warped take on recent history, Tommy. There was no huge public demand for Mayweather to fight Baldomir or Hatton. Prior to the De La Hoya fight, Floyd was only known by hardcore fans and the diehards wanted him to fight badass welterweights like Margarito and Cotto. No one gave a rat’s ass about Baldomir (who was just a Zab Judah creation) and PPV numbers to this fight support my claim. If you can find more than five credible boxing writers who thought Baldomir had a chance in hell to beat Mayweather I’ll mail you a $100 bill.

Post-De La Hoya nobody cared to see Mayweather defend the welterweight title against Hatton, a guy who went life and death with Luis Collazo at welterweight and who looked ordinary in out-pointing Juan Urango at 140 pounds. I’ll say this about the Hatton fight, at least the Brit’s popularity and HBO’s 24/7 series made for an event that helped to further Mayweather’s crossover celebrity that began with the De La Hoya fight.

However, Mayweather “retired” rather than face the media’s and the public’s demand to fight the winner of Cotto-Margarito. And he fought the 36-year-old lightweight champ when he decided to come back.

It’s funny. Before he fought De La Hoya, Mayweather claimed that Goldie only fought smaller and older fighters on his way up. Now look what Mayweather does while on top of the proverbial mountain. At least the next “old man” Mayweather faces is a real welterweight.

You might be right about Mayweather’s chances vs. Mosley, Pacquiao and P-Will, but we’ll never know until he fights them. One fight at a time, kid. Let’s see what happens on May 1.

Your thoughts on Mayweather vs. the Greats are absolutely ridiculous and unfounded. Thank you for being honest about not knowing much about Burley. Now be honest about Armstrong and Gavilan and admit that you’ve never seen a complete fight of either all-time great. And if you have, you don’t know what you’re looking at.

hey how do you bet ya point's? and who do you have in this mosley money fight

[MR.CHICANITO]

Hmm. This could be a sleeper win for gamblers. Hopeflully everyone will make a flyod win a given. But Mosley just might cause an upset. I'm gonna keep an eye on the betting market and sink some money on Mosley if the odds are good.

i'm going with sugar shane mosley in a upset for the ages i think even an older wiser mosley should pressure the hell out of floyd mayweather and make him fight at a pace he is not comfortable with

To be honest with you I've never been much of a gambler . I'm sure some others on the forum could explain, I have no clue how that works. I expect Mayweather to win on points, albeit in a very close and competitive fight.

In order for Mosley to be successful he has to execute a perfect game plan, that's never been his strong suit. I'm just interested in seeing Mayweather fight someone with a pulse and test his mettle at welterweight.

yea but he had a great plan for margacheato and with naz in the corner i think it'll be a different story cause shane father jack was a bad trainer i always felt that was mosley's biggest weakness was his corner but it will be a good fight if mosley take's the L by point's i'll shout you out

I agree with you as far as ****r having a positive impact on Shane. I may catch some flack for this, but hand wraps or not, I think Shane beats Margarito 10 out of 10 times. Shane is a pure boxer/puncher and Margarito is a good brawler with limited head movement.
