    The Mora fight proved what some people already knew. Mosley's been shot to **** for years.

    Because you're right.. Floyd could of had EVERYTHING to do with the way Mosley looked... But I think it was a combination of both.

    But, like i said before... I don't blame Floyd for fighting him, he did what he should of done.
    8 years too late and when he had no choice.

So its impossible for a Shane Mosley who was able to hit Margarito at will to stop him? I mean thats not how I predict the fight going, but you're an idiot. I mean you compared George Foremans defense to Roy Jones you have no right really to call anyones comparisons ******, eh?
      It's okay, it... is okay.

        It was a bit too late... but don't tell me Floyd had no choice

        He certainly didn't have to do anything, but he did.

        Talk about giving credit for something that should be a given, though..

          Shane has had ups and downs his entire career. After his win over DLH the first time got 3 subpar opponents in Diaz, Taylor, and Stone and looked like a beast. That's when he was in his prime.

          Then after the Forrest fights, he lost his spark. His tune up fight with Marquez was stopped due to cuts and ruled a no contest. So basically leading into the 2nd DLH fight he hasn't won a fight in 2 years. Mosley got gifted a decision in that fight. Then got dominated two times by Winky. He hasn't been in his prime for years he's just pulling off last hurrahs. Except in this case, in his last two fights his age has showed. ALOT. The guy looks like a crippled old man. I love Shane, but he has no chance of winning this fight. Shane has gotten to old.

            It seems to me that Shane is getting this fight strictly on his name and not what he's done recently. I really hope Manny fights Martinez.

              Ok. Past prime Mosley beating a past prime Margarito 15 months prior to the Floyd fight doesnt equate to a great win for Floyd.

                It doesn't seem that way... it is that way.

                  It's so sad. This muthaphukka said Roy Jones was able to parry because of his athleticism

                    Ok, sounds good. Doesn't equate to "decent" either.

                      It does actually. When the P4P #1 beats a 38 year old who hasnt fought in 15 months and whos last win was against a limited brawler who is 3 years past his prime, it screams decent win.
