Mosley vs Malignaggi - When it's ok to carry on Fighting

[Bogotazo]

It's Shane's stamina that worries me. As dumb as people make him sound, he use to have the patience to set traps and out-box opponents. I think a quick opponent like Malignaggi could mentally and physically exhaust him down the stretch. He is better suited for Mosley than a vast majority of opponents, no doubt, and it is winnable for Shane, but I see him having trouble coordinating a meaningful attack. This could turn into a mess of a fight that's not easy to score, given how Mosley now leaps into his attack and just hits in the clinch without being able to set up much at range anymore.

Bad part is...
IF Shane pulls this off, He ain't going to retire anytime soon.

you would have to be a ****ing moron who really doesnt know shit about boxing to think that shane does not have a chance against a blown-up jww pauli who has less than a career 20 percent ko rate.

my bet is going to be against puali as opposed to on shane(mosely loses to all the top ww's which pauli is not) especially after seeing maliginaggi struggle against cano who was ko'd a year and a half ago against a blown-up lw morales).

give me the pinnaclesports.com odds and ill take mosely and you can have pauli(at the open and not at the close because handicappers are going to jump on the +300 which will get bet down to +200 or less on fight night).

in fact, this bet is open to anyone here but mostly to people with big mouths who dont back it up with their money.

history shows us that not one time in history has a guy that held the lightweight title won another title at 41 years old, NO ONE. yet you are picking a guy with no wins in 4 years who couldnt even beat sergio mora. seriously man, are you retarded or delusional? or just a stubborn fan boy?
why would i give you any odds on a fight ? i'm not vegas. but shane aint winning, and there are about 100 reasons why

745 sad, hopeless punches that didn't pack a quarter the velocity, accuracy or thunder a prime Mosley's shots did weighing 19 pounds less.

What are peoples thoughts on this fight? Personally i'm looking forward to it.

Its a 50/50 fight IMO and a chance for Mosley to win a belt.

Its also proof IMO for how saying fighters should retire, is not always cut and dry.
Mosley for instance should stay away from fights with up and comers where he's being used as a stepping stone. But fights against fellow veterans are fun and should be made.

Anyway thought on Mosley coming back, and who you fancy here, and whether your looking forward to this match up please:

I do not care to see this fight, Mosley sure somewhere down the line he has a chance to pull it out if he lands that monster right hand.
But lately in recent fights he just can not pull the trigger and that gives Paulie enough time to run off his shots and step around shane.
Also keep in mind in Mosleys last two fights, He wanted out of both of them he wanted to quit.
Why reward him with a title shot? what worries me is that he is so easily hit these days, even the feather fisted Mora had him stunned here and there, Now two fights later after being punished by both Canelo and Pacquiao he is softened up, Paulie might actually look like he has power in this fight

im not asking for 100 reasons or 100/1 odds.

just the opening number that will be in my opinion shane+300/pauli -400

well split the difference.

like i said, im betting on the current version of shane and the current version of pauli.

also, the fight is probably going to be in new york so youll also have that judging on your favor.

i make bets, not excuses

now unless you take the bet, youll be the one looking "retarded" and "delusional."

werent you justifying a cotto/canelo fight after miguel lost to trout?

cotto would be a + 500, minimally.

mosely will probably be a +300.

most people, logical people, determine the validity and competitiveness of a fight by the odds posted

take the bet, internationalbutt

pinnaclesports.com odds at the open and well split the difference.

Still a somewhat interesting bout that I'll watch.

Bingo. Shane's reflexes are no longer even remotely close to what we expect from him. He's no longer a good representation of himself. That is why I wish he would stay retired.

then well make it for a a minimal amount, lets say $100.00. my business accepts credit cards and if i lose ill send you a check.

my esb membership since 2008 is worth $100.00 to me.

im the one thats going to have to worry if your esb membership is worth $350.00 to you.

now no more excuses, name-calling or emoticons.

you didnt see me here name-calling and telling people that they are idiots for betting on pauli now did you?

now you either take the bet of stfu.

[SouthpawJab]

It's not the fact that Paulie can't punch. It's the fact that he's also extremely hittable, in addition to that.

But that doesnt mean shit when you can no longer pull the trigger

Shane loves to train and fight. Very winnable fight for Shane. May be even Paulies first KO loss. You have to give it to Paul though. Dude has some big Italian cojones.
