What's going on with Sugar Shane Mosley? Is he this desperate?

    Looks like Pac will fight Cotto.

    Like what PBF did? ;)

    Then return next year when there's a big money fight opponent available...;)

    Yes he is . . . understandbly because he can't get a fight with Pac or PBF.

    The guy is on the way out and just wanted big money fights.

    Mosely is grabbing as much money as he can while he can still fight.

    If PBF indeed backs out of the JMM fight, which for the record I don't think would happen, then I would think a Mosley-Mayweather fight would be more viable than would a Mosely-JMM fight.

    At this stage the demand to see Pacquiao is so rampant that a fight against either JMM, Mosley, or Cotto would all probably generate around the same numbers; assuming that they would all be promoted with the same effort.

    In a perfect world, we'd see Cotto-Mosley II with the winner facing the Pac-Mayweather winner...but the odds are against it going down that way. It just makes too much sense.

    Mosely is very rich. Can a rich man be desperate?

    I'm a huge fan and I can't wait to watch him fight again.

    Or since PAC-Cotto is almost done, let PBF face the desperate Mosley and the winner of both fights will face in the future... JMM just need to go back down to 135/140...

    Void will never fight Mosely. Mosely is not desperate, only greedy.

    That would work just as well. :thumbsup

    If Floyd doesn't bite, shoot for Berto. Paul Williams is essentially screwed in either scenario, which sucks because I'm a big fan of his. Maybe it's just a sign that the Punisher should stick to 154 and 160, because there's nothing but scraps left for him at 147.

    Although, I feel Cotto won his last fight, I think Mosley is more prestigious right now. Cotto just lost more confidence than I thought. He was hurting Clottey with those flurries but he didnt really believe it. Mosley's last fight, on the other hand, looked more devastating than any other welter out there and If he was really desperate, he would make a fight with Berto or Clottey. I think Mosley is simply restless and trying to keep his mind off a probably emotionally devastating divorce. What I am trying to figure out is the seemingly dramatic change that occurred in him and Hopkins compared to their previous two fights.

    Restless could be the proper word to describe Mosley now... :good

    He's restless to get the big money fights against PAC or PBF but problem is, he's not no. 1 in both fighters' list as of now...

    He just wants to have a big fight and he doesn't want to make the same mistake he made when he fought Winky and Vernon.
