    Is Mayweather vs. Mosley the ultimate flip flop in recent boxing history???

    As far as flip flops go (where everyone was saying one thing before it was signed and going into the fight.....and than completely flip flopped after the fight)......is this the biggest flip flop in recent memory???

      Mosley was a shot, old, and inactive fighter. I think most people are smart enough to realize that.

        Yes and it will soon happened again.

        The pac-Oscar flip flop isn't the same. That was simply due to size and it had nothing to do with fear or ducking. Floyd-shane were same division and everyone was saying Floyd was a scared duck who would get ktfo

              Mosely was a little past it at that point. I agree with the Pacquiao DLH statements though. DLH was picked to cruise in a big mismatch, little did people know.

                I remeber people saying floyd feared mosley, saying floyd was forced into the fight. Mosley saying how he would knock out floyd and many thought he had a solid chance. After the Margarito fight almost everyone hyped Mosley. I tought he had a good chance, would force floyd to fight.

                  Mosley was hyped by all, myself included. Everyone i talkedto believed this was it for Floyd. That was the fight that showed me who the best in this game was. Ans now he was past it or done. LOL!

                  DLH on the other hand hadnt fought at that weight in close to decade and was semi-retired already. I remember telling people im not sure why hes still fighting and that he was going to be shell of his former self and sure enough he was. Noght of the fight EVERYONE i was with cringed at the site of him walking out tunnel. Even pac trainer said oscar didnt have it anymore and couldnt pull trigger. So for me it was the way i figured

                    Floyd "We play basketball together" Mayweather will never fight Mosley.

                    That was a classic, used by such a large amount of posters back then.
