Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr: "I Will Break Shane Mosley Down"

[check hook]

everyone is always with this ducking stuff. floyd ducked who? margarito?? come on, margs could have never hoped to beat any fighter on floyd's level and im almost certain arum came out some time ago and said the reason floyd didnt fight the guy was because arum wouldnt guarantee him more money than he would have gotten from the baldomir fight. who else, cotto? mayweather asked to fight him too. mosely? not wasting my time with that one. and finally pac. we all know it was both side's ******ity that made that fight not happen. and as far as him ducking, i cant see it, why duck pac and then fight mosely? mosely is the more dangerous fight and theres less money involved. makes no sense.

i dont think floyd duck's fights...i think he fights the ppl who make him the most money. is he shallow? yes. is he a punk? no...now i dont agree with his money grubbing personality but srsly where would boxing have been without a heel like him for the last 5 or 6 yrs???manny is a great fighter but he has no personality...who else is out there to attract mainstream sports fans?? loev him or hate him, the guy is goof for boxing

Whao Whoa Whoa!!! Stop right there......you are making too much sense.........that's not alowed on NSB!!!!!

What you saying is true, but the same goes to pacquaio too. Mayweather fought a primed De La Hoya, at his true fighting weight. And he fought a primed Ricky Hatton too, how come people over look this when there giving manny credit for feats and accomplishments that mayweather already acheived.

meyweather did not fight a prime hoya and that's his only elote fighter on his list

I don't think so. I see Floyd winning a decision by sticking and moving. I don't expect any heavy flurries of punches or damage inflicted on Mosley. If he means breaking him down mentally, that could be true. Shane shows it when he's losing confidence. But Floyd won't administer a physical beating that tires and/or hurts Shane in the fight. His key to victory is more so his legs than his fists.

People don't overlook his victories, but simply analize them to a great degree. Mayweather did fight De La Hoya, but not a prime De La Hoya as you pointed out. Also, Mayweather won a razor thin decision, in which the outcome could have been different had Oscar not faded and stopped using his jab. Pacquiao's victory was both different, but more impressive due to the sheer odds he had to overcome. He beat a weight drained, over the hill Oscar, yes, but he did it in brutal, and as always entertaining fashion.

As far as Ricky is concerned, Cortez's refereeing in the Floyd fight was de****able. That's not to say that Floyd wouldn't have still outclassed him, but at the end of the day, it wasn't a fair fight. Floyd had Cortez in his pocket, nuff said. Again, while Manny fought a shot Ricky Hatton, he brutalised him. This speaks volumes in itself.

However, all this being said. I have Floyd over Manny. It's a close call, but styles makes fights.

as much as i like Shane, im sorry to say that Floyd is going to put on a boxing clinic on May 1st. and ofcourse, those of us who are already fans won't complain, but we all know there will be something for the haters to talk about it. theres only one man for Floyd to beat to shut everyone up for good. and it will happen.

He was more primed and at his proper weight class when Mayweather fought him, and mayweather's list of tough fights go back to 135. Not a weight drained de la hoya. Talk about prime fighters that pac man couldve fought while moving up in weight, lets see 135lbs, you had Nate Campbell or Juan Diaz, who did he opt for David Diaz, at 140, you had a host of fighters he couldve chosen from, Timothy Bradley, Lamont Peterson, Kendall Holt,**** even Ricardo Torres, and who does he fight, Ricky Hatton. Im not saying pacquiao doesnt deserve credit for what he's done, im saying that there should be more of an outcry for him refusing to take random drug test after all the excuses that his camp has surrouding this issue.

thats awesome.i got a painting took from ward-gatti 1 signed by both,but i bought it on internet,i wish i could have got it signed by him in person.

That's great man, guard it with your life!. He was a great inspiration, and with the heart of a lion. May he Rest in peace. Too many good boxers have been lost. Darren Sutherland, from my own city, was such a great prospect. Such a damn shame. Anyway, great talking to you.

Gotta run..

How can boxing someones ears off all while taking no punishment be boring?

Thats ART!

if you're a fight fan & NOT a boxing, then go watch MMA

exactly........i don't get how a boxing fan dosen't see that. What Floyd does is the epitome of what boxing is about in the tradition of guys like Pep and Sweet Pea. It's about hitting and not being hit. It's about using your strengths to expose the weakness in others. It's called boxing for a reason. It's not called fighting or brawling.

they say his fights are boring. I find them entertaining.

Please, razor thin, all of DE La hoya fights are razor thin, this is the same guy who got a gift of a win against Felix Sturm, a fight in which he lost. The point im trying to make is that De La Hoya was in his best shape at the time he fought Mayweather, and his worse when he fought Pacquiao. De La Hoya's fight with mayweather shouldnt of even been that close, Mayweather whopped his ass from the 5th round on.

The biggest assumption or myth in boxing is that Mayweather is "soft" or not tough. Mayweather IMO is one of of the toughest and mentally strong fighters in the game hands down. People have this misconception since he's a boxer and has the name "Pretty Boy" and it's exactly the opposite. Mosley brings nothing that Mayweather can't handle and I'm 100% confident Mayweather boxes and puts on a clinic on May 1st. I can't wait....

i agree with the above ****sucker
