Floyd shouldn't get credit for beating Mosley...

[Blue Heffner]

The past - Floyd would never fight Shane.

The present - Shane will beat Floyd.

The future - Floyd beat Shane but he ducked up until he was 40.

The thoughts of a hater......

mayweather will win 8 rounds

[Big Vern]

I think Shane has a really good chance of winning...

In your opinion what chances to you give Shane of winning?

Of course he can win, man. I don't think he will, but he can. Shane's a live opponent, regardless of what anyone says, and the fact people are trying to discredit a Floyd victory before he's even won is pathetic.

You cant cherry pick the P4P Number 3 who also fights in your own division. Like I asked the TS whats wrong with pointing out holes in Shanes game that Floyd can exploit. I havent heard any body Floyd fan or not call Shane a bum.

Burner if you fighting a guy who has zero chance is cherry picking...

Is nothing wrong with pointing out holes in somebody game... Go ahead and do it. And, if you think Shane has zero chance. Then more power to you and your opinion...

But, if fighter A is fighting fighter B and fighter B has zero I repeat no chance of winning then fighter A is cherry picking... And, fighter A should not get credit for a victory... You can not beat a guy who has no chance in beating you and then try to get credit...

Seriously ; can't we stop allowing Puerto Ricans to sign up for this site?

I'm just asking......

According to his fans, and if he wins by close decision it would be worse according to his fans. I say this because according to his fans Shane Mosley should be easy prey for Floyd, if Mayorga could "outbox" Mosley, there is no reason why Mayweather should have any trouble with Mosley or lose a round against Mosley, all of this according to his fans. They make Mosley sound like a cherry picked opponent, so when/if Floyd wins I don't want to hear anyone say Floyd is the best or **** like that because according to his fans Mosley isn't on Floyd's level so why should he be given credit or celebrate that victory, obviously I know I will see threads adoring Mayweather but it is wishful thinking on my part. Now if Mayweather loses he would have lost to a guy that got supposedly outboxed by Ricardo Mayorga so that would make Mayweather a bum. The point of all this is seriously if you want people to recognize Mayweather for what he is, try not to downplay his opponent, it's getting ridiculous and these are the same people that will later preach about Mayweather's greatness but right now if we let ourselves be lead on with what Mayweather's fans it won't mean much because that was supposed to do. Instead of downplaying Mosley why not try to call the fight as it is which is mostly dead even, so then that way both fighters could be given credit. I for one will give credit to whoever wins but I find ridiculous that those who now downplay Mosley will be preaching Mayweather as the GOAT after the fight.

if you don't give someone credit for beating the #1 welterweight in a welterweight fight, you should not be allowed to post. pacquiao shoudn't get credit for cotto, by your own logic. because cotto wasn't even the #1 welter.

He has a punchers chance. Thats it in IMO. I wont act like he doesnt hit hard. He KO'd a 175 Pound Mayorga and just KO'd Iron Chin Margarito.

However I think Floyd will **** him. Does that mean Shanes a bum? Nope. Its more of a testament to how good Floyd is then how bad Shane is.

so then the only person that floyd or manny can fight would be each other by your own logic. if the p4p#2 guy cant fight the p4p#3 guy without it being called cherry picking, then manny and floyd could literally fight no one but each other without it being cherry picking by your own logic.

I understand your confussion and I didn't make myself clear enough, I am stating that if you let yourself be leaded with what Floyd fans state, you shouldn't give credit for the victory because they make Mosley seem like a bum. But in reality without biased views this fight seems like a dead even fight, so either fighter should really be given credit for a win. I am just stating that one shouldn't downplay the opponent of another fighter before a fight and then claim their fighter isn't getting enough credit for a victory after a fight. But basically you explain everything in the second parragraph of your post. JUST TO BE CLEAR I WILL GIVE CREDIT TO THE WINNER OF THIS FIGHT JUST LIKE EVERYONE SHOULD, but Floyd fans don't complain if some people don't give Floyd enough credit when you have spent the last few months making Mosley seem like a bum.

Yeah, your title to the thread is misleading. Once I read your entire post, I kinda got what you were saying. That's just the way people are man. It's understandable with the fighters themselves because they have to have all the confidence in the world but sometimes the fans just regurgitate what the fighter's are saying.

Of course he can win, man. I don't think he will, but he can. Shane's a live opponent, regardless of what anyone says, and the fact people are trying to discredit a Floyd victory before he's even won is pathetic.

Cool,

I see it as Floyd fans are discrediting the win in saying Shane has no chance of winning.

Lets just forget the names for a second. If fighter A is fighting fighter B and fighter B has zero chance of winning then fighter A is cherry picking. And, fighter A should not get credit for beating somebody who has no chance of winning.

And, there are Floyd fans out there who are giving Shane no chance. Is those same Floyd fans who are discrediting Floyd victory...

I am a Pac fan. I think Berto has zero chance in beating Pac. And, if they fight and Pac destroys Berto. I would give Pac credit for doing what he was suppose to do. But, I would not act like it is a good win. Because, I gave Berto no shot of winning.
