Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Trainer: Floyd is Knocking Shane Mosley Out

[Pretty Boy Greg]

My thing is, when you get a chance to fight a top dawg you take it. Shane get's credit for calling PBF out all of a sudden but where was everybody when Floyd was blatantly calling Shane out on nationwide TV? I think Cotto was smart for not taking the fight but I also think the right time to get Floyd would've been when he was coming up in weight from 135. Any way you look at it Cotto was never in a position to say when the fight should've happened. Real talk is Floyd didn't fight any Top Rank fighters and I know that's not a coincidence.

The time to fight Cotto was perfect after the Hatton fight... Old Dirty Bob was not going to let Cotto get into the ring with floyd back at 135... Thats what pisses me off so bad about Cotto & Pac... they let Arum use themselves as pawns... If pac was smart he would drop top rank

Did you see the interview Leonard Ellerbe did with yahoo sports? He promised that Floyd would fight the top dawgs before retiring and mentioned Williams and Pac. I think the Williams fight will eventually happen if Williams keeps winning but the Pac fight I don't know about that one. I would love to see it but I don't see it happening.

I think the Williams fight should happen sooner rather than later, it would be very interesting to see how May would deal with the obvious intangibles that Paul brings to the table.

I agree Arum is ****ish himself, because he prefers to keep the money in-house, such as the proposition of pitting Manny against Margarito, which is silly to me but oh well.

I don't want to get into a whole should Manny take the test or not debate. I look at it like this and it's on record. Floyd has stated numerous times that Manny hasn't accomplished anything special, that he's lost before and if he beats him, then it won't be anything special because Manny has in fact lost before--ok fair enough

But then in another breathe, he states that you don't get older and then all of a sudden become extraordinary, it just doesn't happen like that. In one breathe Manny is nothing special, then in another he is concerned that Manny might be taking PEDs because he became extraordinary, does that make sense? Now I'm only using Mays' words, so I'm asking you to make sense of that argument.

It doesn't make sense but neither do a lot of things
many boxers do and not just Floyd and that's my point.
I think Floyd meant that, Manny is moving up and beating
bigger guys than him down like he was in the divisions
for YEARS. My thing was/is, if Pac wanted to prove he
could beat Floyd then it shouldn't have been any problem
to prove it. I agree that we don't have to go there with
Pac and Floyd for the moment. The door swings both ways.

Tough fight for Floyd but highly winnable cause unfortunately for Williams, despite his advantages he makes fights harder than they should be. How he didnt begin by studying the Hearns jab is beyond me.

Lmao Oscar had shaky legs.Don't know what fight you was watching,Hatton and Judah yes he beat them down and was on his way to stopping Judah until the low blow.But he beat a washed up Gatti and Zab and Hatton was smaller then May watch those fights again why he blitz them.He won't blitz Mosley like that trust.Mosley is not shot or small.

IDK Rome I wouldn't call Gatti(R.I.P.) washed up at the particular time he met Floyd. He was comming of a 5-6 fight winning streak which included the Micky Ward Wars and a blow out of Jessie James Leija. I think the drubbing that Floyd handed him is what broke Gatti.

I'm really torn on that fight because I have followed Pauls career since the beginning. I love both fighters equally and would have no idea who I would be pulling for...

I'm just of the opinion that a guy whom you don't consider to be very "special", certainly by virtue of that opinion shouldn't be required to take any "special" tests, but that debate is for another day.

Very true Chief. Buddy had him looking his best ever. Even I thought it would be a tough fight for Floyd.

Believe it or not that's exactly the way I feel about May/Mosley. I love both fighters and never wanted to see them face each other but real talk is PBF is on another level. Wow, May 1st is almost here.
