Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Mosley Public Divide Explained in Cinema

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Although Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley would be loathe to admit this given their current war of words, they are more alike than they care to admit.

Both are gym **** who boast a ferocious work ethic fueled by immense pride and single-minded focus.

Each is a future Hall of Famer who achieved success in multiple weight classes – Mosley in three and Mayweather in five – and though they apply it differently speed has always been their biggest asset. [Click Here To Read More]

OUCH! This is a great read!
He pretty much summed up the drama of this fight. Good luck to both fighters.

Mosely by Split Decision or Late Stoppage.

Mayweather by UD, good read

Wow!!! Great article and a really good read.

On the next 24/7, they will show Mosely playing basketball with his rec team. Mosely has some skills not like Roy Jones Jr but 100 times better than Pacquiao (Pac's jump shot is broke - two handed behind his head while he is leaning back shot).

I think it's funny that people say that Mosley took risks. When Mosley completely passed up competition at 140lbs it was because he was taking risks to go fight Hoya. When Mayweather fought the top ranked fighters and became the unified champ at 147lbs and went up in weight to fight Hoya he was "ducking" the competition.

In recent times Mayweather fought the former Lb4Lb #2 guy Marquez, and the former 140lb & 147lb champ Hatton while he was undefeated. In recent times Mosley fought a good opponent in Margarito, but he also fought Mayorga (a guy who smokes cigs while training) and Luis Collazo (the guy who lost to Ricky Hatton). Double standards anyone??

This article is so white washed.It fails to mention the fact that Mosley ducked Floyd for years,People claimed that Floyd was ducking Hatton (even though Hatton is the one that was ducking Floyd) And when Hatton decides to fight Floyd then the the Floyd haters started saying "oh floyd is taking on a fighter smaller then him" even though Floyd started his career at a lower weight class then Hatton.


The reason Floyd vs Margarito did`nt happen was because of money.Floyd was willing to accept the 8 million dollars for Margarito if Arum would have guaranteed him 20 million for a fight with Delahoya and 10 million for Cotto and 10 million for Hatton.





And this Article fails to mention that most of Pacquiao big wins was against fighters who were weight drained and/or pass their prime and Pacquiao ducked dangerous opponents such as Mosley,Tim Bradley,Nate Campbell,juan Guzman.


The writer of this article is extremely bias and writes like a *******.

That's a nice Floyd-fan spin of things, but you're missing the point of the articles.

He didn't go by statistics and surely the fact that Mosley went up two weight-divisions to fight a prime-Delahoya earns you more credit than moving up one-weight division to fight a past his prime inactive Delahoya.

Just saying. Either way he put both points of views in this article as he quoted the overall message from both Floyd supporters and critics, so chill.

By the way, good read.

Excellent analogy....good article.

Hatton was KO in the 10th...not 11th round.
