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

[waxfondler]

I was just asking Rome a question that's all.

woooooord.

[Sugar Q]

i read that too
i would love to see floyd clean out the division.
if what ellerbe says is true, and floyd stands by his man...
then im sure p-will will gladly shed some pounds for a hefty paycheck & a chance to instantly jump up the p4p lists.

as for pacquiao... i gave up on that sh**... part of me wants to think its all promo hype and trying to build it up... but another part of me thinks pac wont take the damn test.... damn shame.

again, thats if floyd beats shane.... IF shane wins, then we got A LOT to look forward to.

People don't understand. That's the reason why he came back to fight Shane, Pac, Williams, Cotto but they have to wanna fight him too for those fights to get made. Who else would he fight if he didnt fight these guys. Dude came back and fought the #2 P4P guy. People talk a lot of sh-- but who else was lining up to fight Marquez?

Oh I definitely agree with you, but how quick do you really think Shane is going to be after a 16 month layoff @ 38. I hope we dont see an old Mosley but Floyd has a way of making fighters look like they are cashed. i think we are going to see a huge difference in speed in the first couple rounds and if I'm right than you will see floyd stop a slower fighter that couldnt time him and had no answers for his potshotting

i agree with you on that... plenty of variables in this fight. seriously, when was the last time a floyd fight was THIS intriguing???? im f**ing stoked.... shane is a big boy... no excuses.

but like what brother ****m said.... if the right mosley shows up, then it should be a victory.

Its such a labor of love that you decided to rub it in a posters face that you "get paid to do this while for them its a hobby".

Considering its such a labor of love and you follow the sport so closely, i dont find any of your posts particularly intriguing and as a poster, i have rarely seen you provide any interesting insight into any of the ongoings of the sport.

Paid or not, truthfully, you are just an average poster on this board and that **** you are pulling by naming your credentials and how decorated you are as far as it being in your "blood" still doesnt translate to you actually knowing what the *** you are talking about, or being able to provide a unique prospective.

Save it, because guys like Silencers arent "paid" and its just a hobby, yet you dwarf posters like him in the knowledge department.

Whats your take on this fight? Im not counting my chickens yet but what direction do you think Floyd takes if he wins? We already know what direction Mosley will take if he wins.. (Packy). I personally think the megafight will never happen (too many egos).. I honestly believe he will go on to fight Khan in England if Khan looks great against Paulie... like to hear your opinion if you dont mind

thats awesome, my undergrad is in finance as well.. Im a CPA now lol... sounds like a fun career though. what fights have u gone to recently and covered

I just got back from the Berto/Quintana fight, that was a lot of fun. Honestly I wish I went to film school, that's cool regarding the C.P.A certification, my mother is a C.P.A as well.

i feel you on that... but the #2 p4p guy was effective at lightweight. everyone knew that was a mismatch... people just had so much respect for jmm thats why they convinced themselves he had a chance... p4p or not, thats the reason we have weight classes... the size difference between jmm & floyd was VERY noticeable. its not like jmm had a few fights as a WW to prep before floyd.... he jumped up and fought the most talented/skilled welters immediately (obviously for a paycheck...)

lets not kid ourselves, jmm wasnt exactly "avoided".... he was very capable of holding his own, but he was already considered passed his prime.

[GRUSTLER]

i agree, hard to argue that. cotto wouldve been a tough test though, his timing may have been able to keep it competitive.... but i wouldve put money on floyd if that were to happen.... but still, floyd vs cotto wouldve been $$$$$$ and another elite fighter on floyds resume... the fact it didnt happen is what is disappointing...

I agree with that totally.

[El Jesus]

Lol relax--If someone comes at you "first"...then you counter--it's all in fun--verbal chess.

I prefer to keep it respectful until someone decides different. By the way coming from the guy who says that I don't provide any "prospective"? <----REALLY DUDE...PROSPECTIVE? Next time lower the levels on the insecurity a little bit, without making yourself look silly while doing it. I don't mind the criticism (it's all fair), just make sure that you don't leave yourself open for the same.

I dont care how open i am or how insecure i am. I dont think its cool of you to go around bragging about how you get paid to do this and then try to hate on another poster by saying "well for you its just a hobby" when alot of these people here **** on you in the knowledge department when it comes to the sport overall.

You can feel free to criticize me, thats fine, im just telling you that considering you are supposed to be this "paid" individual who "has boxing in your blood" as far as posting goes, on top of being average, your arrogance should be kept in check since you dont exactly have a reputation for being the most knowledgeable individual here.

So while im am "making myself" look silly, thats fine, either way, youre a below average poster trying to make it seem like you are bigger than the next man because you "get paid" to do what we view as a "hobby". It was lame overall.

If you want to interpret that as being being insecure, i am completely ok with that.

Look you are right, but in context he "became" the #2 p4p guy, fighting at a more natural weight. This is about weight divisions not p4p lists.

there is a lot of talent down @ 140 that could easily be moving up in the next 3 years as well... 147 will reload here real soon now that Cotto and Margacheato is moving up in weight. If Shane gets destroyed on May 1st he may very well be done but who knows...
