"Sugar" Shane Mosley has all of my respect.

[jayweather sr]

He lost my respect when he admitted to PED use.

even after he proved that he took them unknowingly?

[Boxingholic]

Yeah Shane is cool dude, calm and simple. Where as Flyod acts like a 13 year old spoiled punk kid.

[Mr. Philadel]

He lost my respect when he admitted to PED use.

so in other words....you lost respect because he kept it REAL?!?.....he NEVER tested positive so how would you have known if he didn't keep it 100?!?.....some dudes get caught red handed or should I say plaster handed and STILL deny the wrong doing!!....I have a feeling you'll respect Shane after that ass whoopin' he puts on ya boy!!

If Mosley wanted to get a big fight, he had to do it right? Floyd ignored him. Mosley was the top welterweight, yet he wasn't even a thought in Floyd's mind. Look where it got him, can you blame him?

It didn't get him anything. Mosley got the fight because the Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations fell apart and Mosley's the only guy out there whom Floyd can fight and make the type of payday he wants, and not endure a ton of criticism.

Mayweather signaled for Mosley to come over to shake hands with him, so it wasn't like Mosley was being rude and crashing the interview. It was Hopkins who instigated it by interrupting Floyd and saying "this is who you need to fight!".

Yeah it was kinda the perfect storm. Mosley's on top of the world after beating Margarito (sans wraps) and Floyd is able to catch him with 16 months of inactivity because of the Berto pullout. A guy that no one can criticize him for fighting that is less risk than a Williams/Martinez/Pacquiao.

I like shane but am not sway by the image he tries to adopt, I respect all boxers that get in the ring without looking for an advantage outside of it and the steriod episode on Mosley part would make me alway look at him different.

People are dumb enough to get sway by a guy who likes to project as good image even though he does bad things in secret, I cant respect that.

great post...

what tha **** are you on about.

it only became a shot to Mayweather after Burner decided to make his comment.

seems to me your sticking up for Boy Floyd because you see his flaws

i like the guy inside the ring but outside the ring he handles himself like a teenager.

and even if it is TV persona it doesnt make it any better.

i dont understand why any grown ass man would act in such a way unless they are that person

dumbs ass..YOU are the first one to mention Floyd in this thread..not only do you mention him in your opening post while fawning over Shane..you mentioned him again as a response to what Burner said (which had nothing to do with Mayweather)..you fail again dumb ass!..read below!!!

He lost my respect when he admitted to PED use.

keep rubbing your **** to Mayweather pictures

I believe that is YOUR "GROWN ASS" response...

um..he didnt really keep it real, he wasnt admitting due to a guilty conscious..he was outed by another party..and DENIED..DENIED..DENIED at first..even threatening lawsuits..until he realized he had to tell the truth or risk the same fate of Marion Jones..sure he claims he didnt know,what else is he supposed to say..the others say he did know.and til this day he claims he didnt know..and that, I do not believe..
yes, he made a mistake...but lets just call a spade a spade!
