What Shane Mosley does now WILL DECIDE HOW GREAT of a win it was for Floyd

[The Tase]

Does shane mosley beat anymore elite fighters? Does shane mosley retire? Does shane mosley go the roy jones jr. way? These things will decide how great of a win it was for Floyd.

If shane continues on & beats elite fighters, then everybody who said shane was shot were wrong & ALL CREDIT MUST BE THEN GIVEN TO FLOYD. IT WILL GO DOWN AS A GREAT WIN.

But if shane retires, or fights but continues to look old & shot & gets beat by fighters who have no business in beating shane then the win will be placed in its proper context.

Which one do you think is more likely to happen? I would bet the latter.


Only time will surely tell how great it was of a win for floyd.

I think Shane could still beat guys like Clottey, Margarito again, and still be competitive with Cotto & Berto even though I think a fight with Berto would be an extremely risky fight now since Berto is extremely fast like Mayweather and would let his hands go more, so if Berto performs up to his tremendous potential, maybe he stops Mosley if Mosley fights like he did against Floyd all confused and **** not knowing what to do.

I say rematch Margarito or fight Clottey. 2 very winnable fights IMO and depending on how good he wins, if he stills looks impressive then fight Berto but if he still looks like he lost a step, then I say call it a day and leave on a win!

At the end of the day though, if he loses I don't think anything will take away from that amazing performance by Floyd just because Mosley was so dominant against Margarito. It will just show further that he's done IMO.

NOT NECESSARILY,you know there is one option your forgot. What if floyd actually took all the fight outta mosley?? We did see that with HATTON, who struggled with his very next bout after the mayweather fight only to then be knocked out cold by PACQUIAO.

FLOYD GETS PROPS REGARDLESS AS SHANE ASKED FOR THAT ASS WHOOPEN, HE WAS ON ESPN SAYING MAYWEATHER WAS SCARED OF HIM ETC. HE INTERRUPTED MAYWEATHERS interview after MARQUEZ, he asked for that beat down last saturday.

I still think Mosley is a top 5 WW. He can take on a rematch with Cotto(if cotto moves back down) or get tha fight with Berto and see where he's really at.

I think he still has the tools to beat just about anyone at 147. I'd really like to see him fight Berto like he was supposed to(but not if he's gonna be gone for over a year.) Another guy I think would be a good match-up against Mosley would be Angulo if Mosley goes up to 154.

I disagree, the win was a great name to have on a record. Only Cotto, Vernon Forrest(2x) and Winky Wright(2x) have that honor but no matter how much you want it to be a great win, you have to admit a year inactivity, an advanced age and several losses in his last dozen fights makes it a fair-to-good win. And most of us were telling you this before the fight.

Don't you agree if Mosley beats someone like Berto the win would be better for Floyd because people won't be able to say he's shot? A win over Berto or another top fighter would prove Mosley is still a very good fighter and a top welterweight in the sport.

.

So, we should judge the quality of Pac's Hatton and Delahoya wins based on what they did afterwards.....right?

mosley vs baldomir to settle who the 2nd best fighter in boxing is
