    LAS VEGAS - As it ended, with Shane Mosley in the ring seizing an unwarranted opportunity to provoke Floyd Mayweather, HBO's $50 pay-per-view felt like WWE's "Monday Night Raw." If only Mosley could've conducted himself with the class of Pretty Boy's valet, Triple H.

    Tonight is not Mosley's night," Mayweather said later. "I don't get in the ring and grab the mic and take away another fighter's shine."

    For once, Mayweather's resentment was well-founded, as the inauguration of Mosley's clumsy campaign for a payday obscured a brilliant performance.

    funny thing is...if you are obnoxious enough and call him out enough, pbf's ego will usually pull him into making the fight just to shut the guy up assuming the $$ is right. there are a lot of stories about pbf and leonard finally having enough of hatton calling out pbf and said **** it, make the fight and lets shut this guy up.

    i'm sure the $$ would be there if pbf fough ssm, so if mosely keeps acting like an ass, who knows, he might actually score a fight out of it. problem is, ssm used to be known as a pretty classy guy, but this doesnt jive w/ that reputation at all. kind of a shame really. spends his whole career only to do this at the end of it.

    I'm sure if Mayweather was the one running into the ring and did that to Mosley, no one would say a thing...

    I didn't have a problem with it. Being a nice guy hasn't done him many favours recently plus Floyd likes fighters to call him out. Makes things a little more interesting if the fight does happen also.

    I think this is supposed to be somekind of Anti-Mosley propaganda.

    after all the lack of class fraud has shown in the pas tto Hatton, Gatti and oscar and people are getting on Mosley FOR THIS!? Give he a break.

    Mosley knows he's getting ducked by fraud and did what he had to do. I thought he actually showed class and restraint. Look at what clay did to liston and what Tarver did to jones.

    Mosley is class.

    I don't have a problem with what Mosley did. Mosley never snatched no mic, he shook Floyds hand and said lets make the fight happen "Money Mayweather vs Suger Shane Mosley". Then Hopkins leaned in and said some **** to Floyd that upset him.

    This hasn't been the first time a fighter has stepped into the ring and challenged another. What about all the campaigning Caballero has been doing to get JuanMa in the ring. If you understand Spanish, then you know that is straight disrespectful the way Caballero has been going of on JuanMa, but everyone loves it.

    Did you humanoids actually see the fight and the post-fight interview? Max was the one that pointed Shane Mosley out and then Mayweather called him over. Hardly qualifies as storming the ring. Bernard did the right thing by instigating the entire hullaballoo because it put Mayweather on the spot. He claimed that he took the Marquez fight because Marquez called him out. Well now Mosley called him out to his face in the ring on HBO. Whatcha gonna do now, Floyd. Fight Mosley or just admit that you're ducking and dodging the champion of your own weight class.
