Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mosley Can't Get Mad at Mayweather

[Tweezy316]

I see a stoppage too. Shane will get touched more than ever in this fight. He has too much pride to go out on his back but the towel or the ref is a high possibility.

It's all good tho Bernard, Naz, and Oscar will be there to console him. And then in the post fight press conference oscar will be forced to kiss floyd's ass again. Can't wait.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Floyd was momentarily stung by Corley but the ref could've stopped the Corley/Cotto fight. Cotto was out on his feet.

People may talk slick about fighting Floyd but I don't see many serious contenders at 147.

You fight the best when you get the chance not when you want to. Why would Cotto be ready for Corley but not for Floyd? Floyd went where the huge money was and if Cotto would've beaten Pac Floyd would be fighting him right now. Even though I hope it doesn't happen cause I like both fighters it can still happen if Cotto is successful @154.

PBF/Mos is gonna be a great fight no doubt.

Don't agree with you here.Why would you compare Cotto being ready for chop chop to Cotto being ready for Mayweather?Mayweather is a top notch fighter chop chop no he is not I laugh when people bring up chop chop.Did'int chop chop take a lost to judah?But agreed pbf/moses will be a great fight

"out on his feet" and "couldve stopped teh fight" is exaggerating a little

hm... he should start fighting at 154 then I suppose.

cause floyd is way better than corley and corley rocked cotto?

Floyd went where the huge money was and if Cotto would've beaten Pac Floyd would be fighting him right now.

but the best time to fight cotto is when cotto was on top. that was after the mosley fight and before the margo fight.

Even though I hope it doesn't happen cause I like both fighters it can still happen if Cotto is successful @154.

cotto would still be a viable option for floyd... imho its tying up loss ends to floyd's career.

PBF/Mos is gonna be a great fight no doubt.

no doubt, but better if mosley was younger

I would much rather fight a guy coming up in weight than a guy who's established at that weight. Corley was a very underrated fighter. He didn't win the WBO title in that hot division for nothing. Cotto was at the Bruseles fight to scout Floyd and Team Cotto said hell no. It's funny how people celebrate this new kid for outpointing Bruseles but criticize Floyd for knocking him out a few years ago when Bruseles was a better fighter.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Well not exactly Rome. Cotto fought Zab around the time Floyd fought Oscar. Which fight made more since at the time, a well established ODH at 154 or a brand new WW in Cotto? Sounds like Floyd was doing what most have praised Manny for(not trying to start a fight with that one,LOL, just using it as a point of reference), you can take Floyd's move to fight Oscar and look at it as a power move no just for money(As he would lead you to believe) but also legacy(Oscar did have the green WBC belt at 154......who doesnt want the green belt???????).

Oh of course it was a smart move to fight oscar and is a big reason why money is as popular as he is now.But when Cotto beat Moses and May beat Hatton that's when they was about to fight and money retired that's all i was tryin to say.

Go back and watch the Cotto/Corley fight then come back and see me. Floyd chose Oscar and Hatton which were far more lucrative and meaningful fights than a Cotto fight and again Bob Arum stopped the Cotto fight from happening. Beating Cotto now wouldn't mean much for Floyd. A great payday and a career ender for Cotto. Mosley should've taken the fight in 2006 instead of saying "leave me alone and go pick on Margarito".

Man all these so called experts in here talkin about gameplans and stuff. Yall don't know nothin. You guys aren't gonna be in the ring on May 1st so what you talkin for? Just shut up and like T.O. said get your popcorn ready. Everybody talkin about what Shane has to do as if someone has done it Mayweather and been sucessful at it. Like Mayweather said they've tried everything to him. And nothing has worked. People say what they want about Mayweather outside the ring. But he handles his business inside the ring. And his work ethic is 2nd to none. And I don't think Shane at 39 with over a year from his last fight will be able to out train Mayweather even if he wanted to. I think you guys are livin off the past too much. You say Shane has had the tougher opponents. That was then this is now. And that's just your opinion. Stop talkin about Brother Naz as if he's Jesus. He can make any game plan he wants but as far as him thinking that game plan will work that's just his opinion. And even if it was the right game plan Shane still has to execute it. And one more thing. Please stop talkin about Mayweather gettin KO'd for goodness sake he's never even been knocked down. And yet you're talkin about him gettin knocked out. People talk about what Oscar was able to do. What did Oscar do? Land 21% of his punches. Is that what he gets praised for? People are crazy.

Forgive me ya'll including you Tweezy(as I am using your post as an example) for my quick jump out of character, but I wouldn't be me if I aint speak my mind.

*DISCLAIMER* I am NOT a Mutha****in' expert, I just LOVE the sport of BOXING!!!!!

WHAT THE **** ARE WE ON THIS BLOG FOR???????? Im bout fed up with mutha****as commin on here talkin this **** bout leave the strategies to the experts, them bitches be just as wrong as us normal folks(real boxing fans). When you want to intellegently discuss boxing with other boxing fans where do you GO. Aint NOBODY on this ***** been in the ring with Floyd or Shane(If you have than more power to you cause you probably caught a class "A" ass whuppin) but we all got mutha****in eyes mayne, we all can ****in see slick(thank the Lord for my and all the rest of yall's vision). If I analyze a boxer and they tendancies and you dont like that **** address me directly mutha****a, I can take criticizem as long as you come correct. Ya'll need to respect a poster till he shows you no respect, cause you all dont know WHO the **** ya'll could be talkin to on here(besides it's the GROWN MAN thing to do), for all the **** you mutha****as on here whinnin know, I(or any of my potnas on here who talk bout boxing indepth)could be gotdamn Al Haymon, ****m Richardson, or ****in Nacho B. STOP tryin to discourage mutha****as on here trying to intellegently discuss Boxing with like and unlike minds, and correct these son'sabitches on this mutha**** bustin off racist comments, or the sorry as fools that everyother word the type is *****, *******, Gayweather, or some other **** in the booty ass nickname that aint ****in funny. If you want to know about me ask me or go to the kelly pavlic training blog and read my introduction post(Atleast I had enough sense to try and let ya'll know bout me instead of running my gotdamn mouth recklessly). Stop with the bull**** we all are here to learn from eachother.

If you know so gotdamn much then your schedule should be too tight to read my **** as you should be on the way to the gym to see how Shane or Floyd's training is goin, or maybe you should be packing you ****in mitts so that you catch the red eye to Germany to work the mitts with Arthur Abraham. Either way you probably outta be to busy to be in MY **** about MY views, when I wasnt being disrespectful, and I was doing my best to share MY thoughts respectfully. If you dont like my views.........SKIP THE MUTHA ****IN POST BRUH!!!!!!!!!

ChopChop was highly regarded in the day Rome. He's now relegated to a step or two below gatekeeper, but back in the day he was more than a litmus test for an up and coming boxer.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Not just his nose but his WHOLE face. His eyes are barely even open. His face just looks like it's constantly swollen. And yes the nose is HUGE!!! But between me and you. It's gonna look even worse after the fight with Mayweather. I can see Naz or the Ref stopping this fight. His eyes are so low I think Mayweather could close them pretty easy off of countering mosley. I'm not Mosley hater. But when he got in that ring and took away mayweather's spotlight and denied his fans of hearing what he had to say. He opened himself up to an a$$ whoopen on May 1st. But hey that's just my opinion.

Sure he did lol.I'll belieive this when i see it.don't worry mosley will be able to see just fine

[Pullcounter]

Go back and watch the Cotto/Corley fight then come back and see me.

yep... ur still exaggerating a bit

Floyd chose Oscar and Hatton which were far more lucrative and meaningful fights than a Cotto fight

i meant more lucrative in the sense that before mosley and after margo was the best time to fight cotto as cotto was riding high on a rollercoaster of hype.

in terms of meaningfulness... it had great welterweight significance. floyd's fight with dlh was a dip at 154 (not floyd's divisions) and floyd's fight with hatton was simply to tie up loose ends from 140 lbs.

in conclusion: floyd could've gotten the most money out of a cotto fight before mosley and after margo and it would have had real significance at welterweight.

and again Bob Arum stopped the Cotto fight from happening.

it takes to two tango?

Beating Cotto now wouldn't mean much for Floyd.

of course not, which is why floyd needed to fight cotto before the margo fight and after the mosley fight.

A great payday and a career ender for Cotto.

also a decent payday for floyd and a good fight to retire on (better than that fight with baldomir)

Mosley should've taken the fight in 2006 instead of saying "leave me alone and go pick on Margarito".

c'mon, mosley works for oscar and oscar got first dibs.
