Comments Thread For: Mosley Leaves Mayweather Behind: Looks To Mora, Berto

[Ray*]

Vacation: Mosley had already fought twice that year and preferred to fight him early 2007 as he did against Collazo(February). Floyd never did fight him, and then retired in 2007.


Well, for you they are excuses but if you don't even care if Mosley was 100, then it kind of shoots down your points.

So you are saying that Mosley was in his prime? Not old? Not rusty? Please!!!!!!!! Even a young Floyd said after his break that he needed a tune up, "easy" fight (Marquez) .... oh, yea, that was OK because now we are talking about Floyd!!!

If Floyd fights until he is close to 39 and loses, I bet you that you would say, well, that was not the Floyd we all knew .... you know, ...blah, blah, blah

Nah, I dont care if Mosley was 100, 5000, Prime not prime. He ask for the fight and he got it, He was back by idiotic fans like you and media-alike who accuse Mayweather of ducking him. Now after the fight you want to come out with excuses and i dont give a **** about your excuses.

You can't pick a few fighters and expect all boxers to be able to do that. Hopkins picked apart Pavlik because Pavlik had a Kryptonite and Hopkins was clever enough to put it into plan. Hopkins also beat an old Roy Jones Jr. Do you think he would have beat a primed RJJ?

If you and Ray agree with that then I have some land fill to sell you.

Mosley was fighting someone that had a particular style (Floyd) that would show how old he really is.

yeah man well i really dont care it makes no sense to me but i understand how u feel alot of people feel this way... i guess if u were a professional fighter and u beat another professional fighter that was 5 years older than you, you wouldnt give yourself credit huh? excuses are like air...

Who cares? They fought and he lost! I could go down the road of making excuses with you but i have got time for it, You are the one coming out with excuses about how Mosley was old etc, There is NO excuse in the boxing game, He has his chance and he lost. Give credit where credit is due instead of looking for the next best excuse, In 2006 he wasnt "Old" like you put it but he duck the fight because of a toothache/Vacation.

When you compare the Mosley that fought Mayweather to the two fighters in those situations, you lose credibility and can't be taken seriously. Holmes LOST his previous fight and looked like crap. So he wasn't going to better 2 years later. And Tyson was a lot younger than Mayweather. Ali was not only past his prime and inactive, but showing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease before his fight with Holmes. Mosley was coming off one of the most impressive wins of his career. When he stepped in the ring to challenges Mayweather, people like you said "Mayweather was scared" Laughed at him for mentioning they "played basketball together" and swore up and down that Mayweather would duck Mosley. Now after he not only fights Mosley, but dominates him, you pull out these pathetic excuses. That's what separates serious boxing fans from the WWE crowd that analyzes fights with their emotions. No matter what you think of fighter personally,separate that from what they do in the ring. You should try that sometime.

Thats why i didnt pay any attention to that part of his post, Looking for lame excuses and trying to compare different situation like the Holmes/Tyson/ali shows he is someone that lacks the intelligence need to comprehend the simple details.

So you need to make up your mind Ray,.... either there is or there isn't excuses in boxing. You can't have it both ways!!!

Against Margo, Mosley was 37. Mosley already showing signs of aging by looking at his previous fights..... some boxers can fight a lot longer some can't. Some can but only against certain fighters. Again, Margo fit the type of fighter that Mosley had a chance against. Now spring forward almost 1.5 years later and closing in on 39 and nobody can honestly say what to expect out of an older Mosley. I stated BEFORE the fight ALL the points that I stating now. Floyd fans said that an "old" Mosley would get annihilated. So both sides saw that but now you are trying to defend Floyd, which I can understand but I disagree.

Mosley looked old and rusty in there and Floyd exposed those factors. I am being quite consistent and logical in my answers but Ray is not when he stated Mosley can be 100 years old and there is no excuse in boxing.

Already told you, I dont give a toss what age Mosley is or was.. No need for me to make up my mind about anything, I leave excuses to the ******s..He claimed to be ducked, He was supported by media and fans like you a-like, He got in there and got humilated. So bye-bye with your little excuses.

You can't claim that I was part of those who agreed. I can find you posts that state BEFORE the fight that Floyd has a big advantage over an old rusty Mosley.


I saw it coming and you now have stated many times that Mosley wasn't old, out of prime and rusty. That is how some of the Floyd fans reason so I understand. It's too bad that logic nor anything else can help some Floyd fans.

While I have my biases and opinions, I try to be more reasonable and logical.

It would have been better for you to add in your discussions, reasons and logic instead of saying that Mosley could have been 100 years old.

[qwerty07]

Whoever managed Mosley's career is a ****ing idiot. He fought guys he wasn't supposed to, and now he's a washed up bum, fighting second rate fighters that could KO him.

I couldnt care less if you're of one of them or not, I couldnt care less if Mosley was prime, not prime, old or young he got his ass kicked! No excuses Deal with it.

I see that you still can't bother with real discussions. You just state something but don't back it up. That's what I'm dealing with here!!! lol!!!

Mosley couldn't handle Mayweather- obviously. He did better than most for sure but Floyd owned him in that fight.

This said I still think Shane can compete with anyone not named Mayweather or Pacquiao. The Mora fight is a great career move though because Mora is not a dude who should be able to hurt Shane or even make him look bad- which is exactly why this fight will clear up any questions about Mosley's age and his wear and tear overall. If Mosley looks ****ty against Mora then it's retirement time.

if he knocks him out (like he ought to) then awesome, Berto time. And that will be an awesome fight.

But honestly, assuming he really hasn't run out his clock, Shane and Cotto need to rematch.
