    While that would be a great undercard, Mosley has done enough to not have to fight on someone else's undercard. I'd rather not see it either. Sides if the fight was selling as shitty as all these reports are saying, nobody would've seen it anyway :lol:

    Right it's a risk he's taking. I can think of a few fighters who didn't want to risk that. For instance Riddick Bowe turned down a tune up fight pre-Holyfield I because of that (that crazy Rock Newman) and of course Teddy Atlas talks about something similar as well.

    Dude basically it's a risk that's probably not worth taking for Mosley. He can always wait and rematch Margarito if he suddenly becomes desperate for money. Mosley isn't as out of options as we make it seem.

    I really don't give a **** about Mosely one way or the other to be quite honest. I thought I made that very clear. I don't care what/who he fights. If he wants to turn down millions, that is his choice. I think it is a wrong one, but still, his choice. I just don't see Pac and Mayweather happening, at least no time soon. (Pac maybe never, and then only on Roach's terms.) They are the proverbial birds in the bush. I'm probably draggin animosity over from another thread where people seem to think the boxing world works on seniority and you have guaranteed rights as you get older.

    yeah but come on now.... were just making excuses now....

    sometimes if you really want something really bad you have to take a big risk, or really swallow your own pride and do **** you normally wouldnt do.... obviously shane is better than being on a ****ing floyd under card... but what better way to really put floyd in a difficult position then whipping zabs ass on national tv then calling floyd out directly before your fight.... **** to even stir the pot up a little call him out for fighting a smaller opponent and say you area the real champ.... anything to stir it up a bit... its better than sitting around not doing anything

    This is what he has dogging him, rightly or not. Fine. Let Shane sit out and wait for his 'dream' fight. It is his choice to make.

    You can't exactly say he is a dumbass....best moves he made in his career are actually quite cleaver

    1) Moving up & fighting Oscar De La Hoya (2 weights)
    2) Fighting Margarito who just made Cotto quit like a little girl

    That would be too much of a risk for some...he was cleaver enough to realize he could do it & win!!!

    The way he is going at the moment......he may be dead for a few months but the big fight will come...GBP is too close to not get him the big paydays!

    P.s.

    Nice work on your high school business studies bro...but unfortunately the word opportunity cost is rarely used in the real world :p

    I usually don’t mind your posts but that if ****ing insane saying he’s dumb

    Doesn't that tell you something?

    He isn't convinced after one fight with Cotto that he can beat him
    convincingly!!!!!

    He was dumb to fight guys like Forrest and Winky. Those are guys no one else really had the balls to fight.

    Mosely could have had an easy fight with Berto, easy knockout. He should give Margarito a rematch, but he won't.
