    No, I don't think so... Is not in him to do that and it would look akward. Plus you can say that James Toney played kind of the loud mouth bad guy role. And, it didn't he him sell his fights more.

      Maybe... If he was Mexican or Puerto Rican he would have been one of the biggest draws in boxing!

        A mouth only helps when you are fighting a fan favorite.

              But, when would you say got poplular? When he hooked up with Al Haymon right? That is when the black community started really following him don't you think?

                Mosley fans are Mayweather fans also, speaking of the Black Community.
                The crowd will be split 50/50 come May 1st.

                      Steroids, losses and personality. It's a shame really.
