Comments Thread For: Source: Mosley Wanted To Quit During Pacquiao Fight

[Rapid Counter]

The look on Mosleys face says it all. He was about a millimeter away from quitting on the stool like gay la hoya but he had a great trainer that told him he was cut from a different cloth unlike Oscar who wears fishnets and womans panties

Haha the funny thing is that it was proved in court by experts that the photos of de la hoya were indeed photo shopped fakes and yet you still fantasize about him wearing women's clothes.

I wonder when your idol will get proof by experts that he is not a drug cheat?

hahaha "my blisters hurts so bad"

"thats why i was running the whole fight"

yeah sure mosley hahah!!!

He probably got them during the fight, from all the running he was doing in it... j/k

Naaz did the right thing. He knew Mosely would be crucified even worse if he quit on his stool. Look how people are taking it just from him thinking about quitting. I'm sure Naaz didn't want him to go out like that.

In the video of Shane telling Naaz he wanted him to stop the fight, he actually looks more scared then hurt IMO.

Long time Mosley fan here. Loved his lightweight and early welterweight run. Even in the lean years with the roids scandal, the Vernon and Winky losses, rematches, and further losses, I felt like Mosley was always a class act and somebody I count on for an entertaining evening of boxing -a master craftsman and most important, somebody with a good measure of heart and guts.

But now, watching this piece of Fight Camp footage, Mosley slumped in his stool, telling Naz to stop the fight -it makes me wonder who I am watching here? Is this Mosley? Really?

I think that, more than anything, his performance vs Pac was both sad and pathetic, and in an emotional sense, reminiscent of Lewis/Tyson. I attended Pac/Mosley and also watched the replay, both times wondering, where was Mosley? Where was the combinations? The ferocity? The willingness to put it on the line? I knew he wasn't 27 anymore but c'mon. At least for ONE ROUND, go for it, right?

My head knew the truth. Mosley's offensive skills were finished since Mayweather picked him to pieces and Mora chewed on the leftovers last year. Yet I still wanted to believe that somehow, Shane could will that warriors spirit into one last gutsy performance and victory ala Margarito in 2009, or at least make it a "fight" (ala Morales/Maidana).

As we know, in the end, Mosley couldn't even get a shot off. Beyond his flinging jab and constant back peddling, I counted a sum total of a single right hand and two left hooks in twelve rounds. I think Pac let Mosley stay in this fight. Honestly, and I am not a Pac nut hugger. Mosley, if he continues, is going to be a gatekeeper/punching bag for the up and comers.

I hope his sense of self-delusion does not keep him in the game any longer. It is clear that he no longer has the tools to compete at the top level and for a fighter of his caliber, that should be a loud and clear sign to retire.

Just my two cents.

Add me...check the sig

Benard Hopkins has older fighters like Mosley and Roy still going thinking they can do what he doing. I like Shane but if he can't compete for the title why fight?

whatever manny should of found a way to make the ref stop it, but he couldnt do it because, now wait for the excuses "a leg cramp". now we have this lame artivle about how he should of gotten a tko without earning one. bull

[Clint650]

Shane really had no business in there. its like everyone forgot how bad he looked against Floyd. we were all banking on Shane having a round (a moment) like the one he had against Floyd. He never went for it. Manny shook him early, but this whole business about Manny deserving a tko is nonsense. the fight wasnt stopped, though clearly Shane quit in the ring, but it's Manny's job to finish quitters, not let them survive 12 rounds. after the knockout, i didnt see anything worth getting excited about. thats not just Shane's fault.

To all of you haters, sometimes you all should open your mind up for the sports sake. You all refused to see mosely started running away after he was knocked down. It is impossible for a fighter to get a kayo when his opponent did not want to get kayod. Exact same thing happened to shane against mora. Mora did not want to get kayod and just ran away throughout that fight.

i wanted to quit too

Legendary post. Lol.

freddie gotten in shane's head, i know this for sure it makes sense,

freddie been saying that its gonna be shanes first time to get ko'd, after the knock down rnd 3,all that can go through shanes head was freddie krueger, shane believed it and **** his pants.

freddie and his mind games is the blame for this non exciting fight.
