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

[mrjoeblive]

Don't get me wrong, I like Mosley, and I agree that Mayweather just outboxed Mosley. But watching that fight and losing to someone like Floyd in a convincing manner tells me that it's time for Mosley to hang the gloves. Like someone here just pointed out, beating Mora/Berto will not really help with his legacy, and it's only bad if he loses, or worse - lose badly. There's no shame to being sent into retirement by Floyd, being a top fighter he is, but Mora/Berto?

hey ****, if your mom is a ******* and your dad is a *****. those family picknicks must really be rough LOL!!!!!!!

Former three division champion, "Sugar" Shane Mosley, is in good spirits and says he is mentally and physically recovered from the twelve round decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr., which took place on May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mosley got off to a very good start when he rocked Mayweather very badly in the second round. By the third, Mayweather recovered and dominated the remainder of their fight.

man, mosley better look terrific against mora otherwise he should just retire. berto isn't the greatest boxer, but he might be too young and mosley too long in the tooth.

There were many factors that led to Mosley getting beat but I just think that Mayweather was too good of a boxer.. I think Mosley could have had a more competitive fightbut he was just rusty. I dont think hes finished as a fighter... I just want a fight to see what he has left. Mora should be a good gauge. After that, I can make up my own mind if he is still elite, which I think he is. Mayweather is just a different level of fighter.

Floyd didn't "recover" in the 3rd. He recovered within 20 seconds of getting rocked and dominated the rest of the round.

I think him getting rocked was the best part of the fight. I've never seen anyone get hit so hard and have a smile on there face. Actually that punch reminded of when Mosley stopped Marg-a-cheato, only difference was Mayweateher smiled and damn near busted out laughing.... did he wink over at HBO?

no disrespect but this kind of boxer is one reason of the downfall of boxing. He is not the same good fighter Shane on that May 1 event (not sure the reason behind) and now he wants to continue fighting as if nothing happens. what a SHA(M)NE...

[Mr.Smith]

Yeah I actually do. Mosley said he felt tight in the fight with Mayweather. Look how much time he had to warm up like 5 mins. He should of had someone else wrapping his hands other then Richardson cause that killed his warm up time. You see how dry he was when he got into the ring? Not saying that was the only factor but it definitely contributed to his loss. Taking nothing away from Floyd though cause he put on a clinic.

Yeah, I noticed that also but, still same outcome.

Most fighters (mma included) hold on a little too long. He's been past prime and that includes the Cotto fight. So who has looked good against Floyd. Only the I Castillo fight is something you can look to in my opinion.

People don't see that..even though Mosely rocked him twice the fighter that was on the defense after it was Mosely. Mosely knew dam well he wasn't going to outbox or out work Floyd. He did what he felt was his only option. Try and land another bomb on him.

I know Im going to get slammed by alot of people again but this is just my theory.........till this day I still believe both fights Pac vs Clottey and Mayweather vs Mosley were fixed fights. Why......first the Pac fight boh fighters under Arum. Clottey makes enough $ plus extra cash for throwing the fight......making Pacquiao look invincible. Than you have Mayweather vs Mosley who both are promoted bt GBP...and who's Oscar's partner? Wow it's Mosley. The Mosley I've followed for most of his career would of never gassed out in the 2nd round.....now if he was a MMA fighter I would of bought it. After Mosley rocked Mayweather he never threw another "Im going knock your head off punch". Than Mayweather moving toward and being the aggressor there's another sign this fight was fixed. Just look outside the box for one second.....here we have two of the best fighters Mayweather and Pacquiao the whole world can't wait for these two to fight. Why not fix a couple of fights making MILLIONS and along the way make these two fighters look invincible setting up for the richest prize fight in history. Boxing is a business a business that can produce more money you or I can ever spend.....money=greed=corruption so am I off my rocker to even think those fights were fixed? For the record if Pac and May fight it will be legit since GBP and Arum can't stand each other.

Yep. "Floyd is ducking Shane" -- "Floyd's gonna get on his bike" -- "Shane's gonna KHTFO" -- "Shane's faster and stronger" -- "Floyd ain't man enough to stand toe to toe"

When all the predictions were debunked, now it's that Shane got old after the 2nd round.

I'm eagerly anticipating the Pacquiao excuses...

"Manny was too small" -- "Manny's not a real welterweight" -- "Floyd wouldn't stand still" -- "The random blood tests weakened him" --
"Them USADA guys tested too early" -- "The testing interrupted his training" -- "Manny was also preparing for the elections" -- "The gloves were too tight" -- "The ring was too big" -- "Freddie couldn't get hard"

That was the funny thing I read all day.
