Don't get me wrong, I admire Mosley. He is one of the most respected fighters of his generation. He is somewhat of a throwback fighter, never dodging any opponent that gets thrown his way. His fights with Oscar De La Hoya, Fernando Vargas, and more recently with Antonio Margarito were certified barn burners. Even his losses to Winky Wright, Vernon Forrest, and Cotto did not diminish his status as a great fighter, and on the contrary, have managed to solidify him as one of the best fighters to to ever lace up gloves. He has been humble in victory and gracious in defeat. He has been a class act his entire career, so it's a bit sad to see him groveling like this. since I am a fight fan that lives in the present, all of this shane talk about fighting all comers changed after the tony fight: williams- shane "not interested in that fight" clottley- shane "not interested in that fight" berto- shane "he is too green, not interested in that fight" shane- on the radio- "I want to fight the best and take on all comers, i fight for the fans!!!!! BTW- i wont fight anyone but pacman or mayweather, also tell pacman and floyd to stop ducking me!!!!! I mean they are the only 2 fighters out there, I am the best WW but decided not to fight any of them at this time-"
Morales truly deserves the biggest payday and that's Floyd, Pac or Cotto. But since they are running from him, he should decide: either take on respected elite fighters like Williams or Clottey for obviously average money, or retire.
"Because he's fought the best before now he earned it" Even though he was promised a big payday if he were to fight Williams.
