Should Shane Mosley retire?

[piano man]

I think he shouldn't retire.

Let him fight Berto.

A win over an undefeated, hyped, one dimensional young fighter can set up one last big pay day for him.

But other than that, there's not much left for him, and he has enough money to walk away. It's a 50/50 situation based on what his priorities are.

[extracurRICular]

I think so. The guy has a lot of great wins but is clearly past his 'second prime' and looked shot in his last outing. Why box on? What else does he have to prove? I think he's managed his money responsibly so continuing to fight is not a financial consideration. Why temp fate and risk getting brain damaged? I say walk away now and enjoy the rest of your life...

No!!!!! he needs one more fight to go out on top.....I don't wanna see him end his career like his bud DLH..........he deserves to go out with a win.....I'd like to see him come out fight a decent boxer....take the win ......and call it a career.....true story!!!!

[j.one]

Hell No, he can still win meaningful fights. They claim the guy has some money troubles and frankly if he wants to continue and fight he should without question. If Cotto can take two far worse beatings and win a fight with a guy like Foreman why can't Shane? Even if he fought on HBO or undercards he could still fight some interesting fights. Nothing about Shane suggested he has to retire, once again Cotto took far worse beatings by men who "Possibly" were either packing plaster or taking PED in far brutal battles while Shane caught margarito beofre he could cheat and then lost to Floyd who was for surely clean. Shane should be allowed the same if not more.

[DR.ORGYY]

no.......he should just stay away from pacquiao and mayweather, other than those two he could prolly **** up all the other welters not sure about cotto though....

I think he should retire, he's been on the slide for a while now. If you need evidence of how far he's slipped, watch the Mayorga fight. Yes, he dominated Margarito, but that was a great stylistic match up for Mosley. Margarito's very slow footed and doesn't have a great defence, he was there for Shane's overhand rights all night.

In Mayweather he lost to the best pound for pound fighter in the world, so it's hard to be too critical. But it was the way he lost that's worth noting. He was out of the fight from about round four and I honestly thought he was gonna get stopped towards the end.

I think now would be a good time for him to bow out, he's nothing left to prove and there's no shame in losing to the best. If he carries on any longer he just may end up losing to a lesser fighter (I'm not sure he'd beat Berto at this point) and that would be a shame.
