Shane Mosley Doesn't Deserve To Get A Title Shot On The May 5th Undercard

It's an interesting fight and that's all that matters to me. This fight got KO all over it.

This right here. Titles are, and have been meaningless for some time now.

i think he deserves it because he is on his way out and why not give him another shot before he leaves the sport? its sugar shane mosley, and its enough that he has to fight a strong 21 year old, so I think its more of a "favor" type fight than anything else...

He hasn't won a fight in more than 3 years and his last two performances were beyond awful. He got outboxed by a guy (Mora) who lost to a bum (Vera) in his very next fight. Overall I just think that the Pacquiao fight should be the final straw. There is no excuse for how badly he performed in that fight and it should result in people not taking him seriously anymore. Whether he threw the fight or not. His "performance" was a disgrace to the sport of boxing and everybody who is a fan of it.

You guys ****** on Margarito's *ss when he didn't deserve title fights, after getting sodomized by SSM, Pacquiao and COTTO. So whats the difference?

And Canelo don't deserve that belt.

That is exactly right so it doesn't matter.

Fights like this are hurting the sport of boxing. I can understand giving somebody another chance after one bad performance, but Shane Mosley is coming off of three consecutive fights where he looked absolutley terrible. First of all he got absolutley decimated and visciously pummelled by Floyd "Money" Mayweather, and then he got outboxed by Sergio Mora in a draw that should have been a loss, Mora then proceeded to show us just how shot Mosley is by losing to a bum in Brian Vera in his very next fight, and then he gave one of the worst performances I have ever seen from any fighter ever, against Manny Pacquiao (I'm not even sure if you can call it a performance, it was that bad). I don't care what anyone says, I think that he got paid off and didn't even try to win that fight against Manny Pacquiao. People want to hound a guy like Victor Ortiz for quitting against Marcos Maidana and Floyd Mayweather, but what Shane Mosley did against Manny Pacquiao was even worse than quitting because he didn't even begin to try to win (Ortiz tried, gave up and quit, but at least he tried). Shane showed absolutley zero desire to win that fight and there should be ramifications for the way he performed.

Whether he was paid off to lose or just didn't have the tools to do better than he did, it shouldn't matter. After a miserable, awful performance like that, he should not be able to get such a showcase fight on such a big and popular card. What happened to fighting the best? Mosley brings next to nothing to the table anymore in terms of being a legit threat, he's been washed up for years and I think the Mayweather fight took whatever he had left out of him, mentally and physically. By beating him at this point in his career, all Saul Alvarez will be proving is that he is better than a C level fighter, as any good or very good fighter in their prime should dominate this version of Mosley. Fights like this are putting me off boxing because you just have so many fighters out there who are cherry picking and taking easy fights. There are lots of fighters who I would much rather have seen Canelo fight that would have told us more about him than this will. All this fight does is give him another easy title defence, and give Shane "The Steroids" Mosley another payday, which he absolutley does not deserve after looking like garbage for 3 fights in a row.

What do you think? Does Mosley deserve this fight, or not? Poll coming!

Lol, Shane has payed his dues, i ain't mad. He did better against mayweather than any other opponent to date, Mora has good defense, and Pacquiao is plain awkward. I don't blame them for those, but this is his last chance to stay at the top.

lol look at this fool, you know who's ****ing up the boxing game? Mayweather, guy chooses who he wants to fight and claims that he's the best to ever done it? Pleaase, if SRL,Duran,Hagler,Hearns, were able to easily choose who tey wanted to fight back in the day, they would be undefeated till this day.
