Mayweather-Mosley How does it go down and who wins?

:bears:

 

I see no reason why that Mosley wouldn't have beaten the same Floyd that won a boring decision over the mean, vicious fighter for the ages..... CARLOS HERNANDEZ!

 

haha good one, but not applicable at all.

 

The Oscar he beat was as good as todays Shane. And that'll be a harder fight for him since Oscar has a better jan than Shane & has vastly more ability to fight effectively coming forward. Shane can't apply effective pressure for shit, he a pure bred (but impatient) counter puncher and Floyd will make him come to him, where he's clumsy impatient and wild.

Floyd 9-3.

 

"I think if the fight happens, it will be a good fight, and I think Mosley will win the fight."

Manny Pacquaio

 

Wrong again. Where have you been? Everyone and they moma knows Floyd already gave up the March 13th date and is planning this fight for May.

Good break down but Floyd's been feasting on too much sponge cake and hasn't been eating his vegtables. In the end it'll all come back to haunt him in the form of a tummy ache.

On top of that Floyd's priorities are all screwed up. He worries too much about not losing his perfect record over winning these days and I think that's going to screw up his concentration in the fight. I also question Floyd's chin and think Shane is really going to test it. Floyd has the ability to outbox Shane and may just do it, but I'm going to go with Shane by a KO.

 

Firstly if this actually happens then :bears::bears::bears: for Floyd. Even old, Shane is a legitimate challenge and one I honestly never thought I'd see Floyd take.

I like Floyd by UD here. It will be one sided. It will go all 12 rounds but it will also be a great display by PBF.

I hope this happens. If it does, Floyd deserves praise.

 

Why Praise though Genius?
Don't you think that he should be fighting these guys?

If he strings 3 fights with top guys (even if he loses one) together, I'll praise him, but really, he almost has no choice to make this one happen given his record in recent history.

 

Because I'm a fan of the sport. Lots of guys are fans of fighters and it shows. I'm not saying you're one of those, just that it appears that is the only type of fan boxing forums are generating these days.

My gripe with Floyd is that he has been fighting smaller fighters and generally not guys I want to see him fight. SM is one of the guys I'd like to see him against. A legitimate challenge. I understand what you're saying and agree somewhat but it would be hypocritical of me not to give respect where it's due.

This is the kind of fight I want to see Floyd in. If it's made, he gets a big :bears: from me.

 

I'm a boxing fan as opposed to a fan of a particular fighter which is why as a boxing fan I get frustrated when I see a great talent like PBF avoid the greatest challenges.

As a boxing fan I want to see the best fight the best which is why I don't understand it when people who profess to be boxing fans make excuses for fighters who don't. To me that is not being a boxing fan, it's being a groupie.

If we are working on the assumption that a fighter deserves praise for taking a fight with another top fighter, then as a general rule I don't have a problem with that I guess.

However As far as I'm concerned if PBF fights SSM given the context of his recent history it's more of a case of "about bloody time!"

I just hope that if he wins (which I think he will), that he then has the confidence to fight the other top guys.

If he does (even if he loses), then I will gladly give him praise.

 

I think we're on the same page. I'm leaning towards the theory that FM v MP was 'postponed' to get more publicity going for a later date. If that is the case then I really can't fault either guy for their choice of interim opponent.

Assuming that theory is correct of course.

 

I hope that you're right about that Genius.

 

mosley by late round TKO

artie:

 

I always thought that Floyd would win a UD against Mosley.

For some reason I think this is Mosley's year. I can see him beating both Floyd and Pacquiao.

I think Shane is on a mission!

 

Most brutal self inflicted ownage since that time you dared to challenge Saad in a charity boxing auction. :notallthere: WTF!???

 

self ownage?

look who's talking? :bangh:

your goofy ass has been clowning Floyd for years yet recently you've been defending him and attacking Pacquiao at will regarding the blood tests.

funny how before Floyd requested this blood test I dont' recall anybody here accusing Pacquiao of being a cheater nor requesting similar blood tests.

Now your on the Floyd Bandwagon? :notallthere:

 

Floyd UD. 8-4 but only because Floyd is a bitch.If he takes risks, he will win 10-2-12-0. I will cheer for every punch landed kind of like Ruiz/Oquendo. I hope it is a double knockout.

 

I agree, I like the matchup alot, but what worries me a lot is the possiblity that SSM turns out to be shot ( let's not forget that he didn't looked too hot vs Mayorga, the Margarito fight may have been his swan song )

 

I dont even know what you wrote, I was in the process of responding to another two of your posts without reading them, until some bitch came down the drive-way and I had to lay under a pine tree for a couple of hours before she'd go away. Anyway, there were HEAPS of people suspicious of Pacquiao before Fraud introduced the drug test and exposed Pacquiao officially,.. I give Fraud credit for this implimentation into boxing, and I give him credit for fighting Mosely,.. and that's it, he's still a backtwisting narccistic piece of shit, with a fundamentally illegal defense, and you'll never hear me praise him, or support him against anybody other than the disgusting drugs cheat with a whole fucking global mania behind him. What also pisses me off a bit, is the fact that, the ideal time to have hated Fraud, has been anytime other than his last few actions, yet, he's hated worse now more than ever, and why?.. because he exposed the inconvenient truth about Pacquiao, and so just like Fraud-groupies back in 2006, Pacquiao groupies are acting THE EXACT SAME WAY,.. so in the end,.. there's only really about 5 posters on this whole messageboard who genuinely care about a corruption free sport.

 

Is there any denying Floyd is afraid of Manny if he takes the fight with Mosley?

The reason negotiations broke down was testing for steroids, both sides agree. Say what you will about either side being culpable. Lets assume total equality.

For Floyd to walk away and willingly take on Mosley, an admitted steroid user who has already been busted, says alot about his fear of Manny. Because if steroid use was the issue with why he wouldn't fight, then why would he move onto a guy whose actually been caught.

 

Hasn't Shane agreed to random testing though?

 

Floyd would win pretty handily IMHO. That's the single thing that fucks me off most about Mayweather- if he was to step up and start facing the elite WW's, he'd be a big favourite to beat almost all of them. That's why I don't understand his apparent unwillingness to actually fight anybody.

MTF

 

I agree with both of you. That's what's so fucking weird about it.

The vast majority of the people that Floyd is reluctant to fight, would be the betting underdogs.

I reckon the bookies would even make Floyd a favourite over Tall Paul, I know I would.

I guess he doesn't have quite as much confidence in himself as other people do, he's obsessed with his undefeated record, and is obviously terrified of losing.

 

See this is what annoys me, the constant putting of words in our mouths. Nobody's claiming they hate Floyd more than ever.

Do I think he bitched out of the Manny fight? Yes, about as much as you believe Manny is on PEDs. So if I'm right and that was Floyd's intention than he really wasn't looking to try to clean up the sport now was he? So you've got 2 assumptions under your belt that you continue to defend as if they were facts. Manny being on PEDs, and Floyd's attempts to clean up the sport.

Also, everyone on this board defending Manny has no problem with new and better testing standards. In fact we'd prefer it, so don't try to lump us all in as blind Pac fans who don't want to see the sport improved just because we don't think Pac should be villified over something as little as winning a bunch of fights impressively.

 

Yup. There's 2 viewpoints in this situation - Floyd is a bitch, and Manny is on PEDs. Or both.

The thing is, they are both just speculation, not facts.

 

Floyd not fighting Manny because of steroid suspicions and then agreeing to sign against Mosley, is a shameful duck. I can't imagine it being viewed any other way.

 

This.

 

I'm glad Mayweather is fighting Mosely. He represents a considerable step up in class compared to ANYONE Floyd has ever fought at 147 and it's about goddamn time he took that step.

However, anyone still clinging to this 'Mayweather is trying to clean up boxing' is blowing smoke up people's asses at this point. Unlike Manny, who has been damned despite no evidence ever being produced against him, Shane is a self-confessed steroid user and a convicted cheat.

If Mayweather really had even the slightest interest in boxing being 'clean', he would not be within a million miles of Shane Mosely.
