Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Pitch For a Shane Mosley Clash is Made

[Beater_of_ass]

Anyone who said that this is a good style matchup for Shane knows absolutely nothing about boxing. Vernon Forrest (twice) Winky Wright (twice) Cotto and Mayweather. All of these guys simply outboxed Mosley, the guy cannot beat a boxer its as simple as that. He'll lose and it won't be a big payday because Martinez isn't a draw and neither is Mosley.

Forget about it!!!!! Sergio Martinez would kill Mosley. I'd rather see Mosley vs Berto. I was very sad when the Berto cancelled his fight with Mosley due to the Katrina quake but they should definitely schedule this fight ASAP.

I'm done for it. Only Duran and Leonard were LW and WW Champs that became MW Champs. I think Oscar was one to. If Shane can beat Martinez which I doubt. His name is in the history books

Leonard never fought below 147.

I guess Lou feels the same way.....fighters don't challenge fighters that they think can beat them these days.....once a old fighter shows his age EVERYBODY wants him.....Chad Dawson wanted B.Hop even though B.Hop had no strap.....Lennox Lewis took Tyson to court to make him fight him......then once the old fighter gets beat, the guy who beat him will then claim the biggest win of his life by burying a ALREADY deadman......thats the boxing game today!!

Lewis wanted Tyson before the first Tyson-Holyfield fight. At that time Tyson was not considered "old" or washed up. It was Don King who paid Tyson's mandatory Lewis 3 million to step aside for the Holyfield fight. Lewis never avoided Tyson and certainly never looked for "easy" fights.

Promoter Lou DiBella has advised BoxingScene.com that he made a serious offer to Golden Boy Promotions for a catch-weight bout between WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez and former two division champion Shane Mosley. Martinez is willing to defend his title against Mosley at the lowest possible catch-weight, 155-pounds. There appears to be no issue with Mosley receiving a bigger percentage of the money.

It will be a repeat of the first Mosley-Wright fight I think. Mosley losing a wide decision. Martinez is naturally bigger and a nightmare style wise for Mosley.

why not 150 or 151???

155 is a bit high for mosley plus 39 years old.

i just lost respect for sergio who i had held very high with respect...

going after an almost 40 year old 15 lbs above his prime weight...

sad..

i think shane has some left in the tank, the lay off and rust was very detrimental against floyd.

why wouldnt sergio offer this to floyd who just beat shane? i dont get it

i hope shane takes the fight, sergio is solid but doesnt have the punching power to hurt shane.

floyd sat down on a lot of his punches and beat shane up, but sergio is not that fast plus he is fleeing all the time and moving away when throwing.

i think it is bs sergio is going after shane at this weight i hope shane takes it and surprises everyone

shane is a warrior

My question is why not 154 since Martinez holds a belt there?

He doesnt anymore.

This is pure nonsense!

If sergio Martinez fights shane, he will lose a fan! He is way too big for shane and shane is a faded fighter! Sergio should chase cintrash, Felix Sturm (a *****!) or el perro (another sheltered fighter)or fight at 154 or 160,
but to fight shane is a pure disgrace and I am a huge fan of Sergio Martinez! Dibella should be ashamed of himself!

[Calilloyd]

Didn't realize that. Thanks and that explains it.
