    In the end,crashing Mayweather's post fight interview was one of Mosley's best career moves. Who else should try it? and on who?

    I don't know if it would really matter or help any fighter all that much.

    Maybe an up and comer doing it to get his name out there by building some hype and being known as a trash-talker.

    Mosley didn't get the fight with Mayweather because he did that. He got the fight because aside from Pacquiao, Berto and Mosley, who is Mayweather going to fight for a title and big bucks? Pacquiao was with Clottey, Berto was out indefinitely and Mosley was without a dance partner.

    Of course it didn't.

    It just helped build some hype and add some drama but what happened right after? Mayweather and Pacquiao went to negotiations. That went to ****, and then they had the tragedy in Haiti and Berto pulled out.

    Williams to Pavlik will be downright hillarious but fatten the fight much much more.

    Caballero to JuanMa in Pr will be entertaining even if I dont understand a word they are saying.

    Dawson to Hopkins would make the fight spicy and Hopkins will be sure to take it if he beats Roy.

    It worked for Antonio Tarver. Similar tactics worked for David Haye until he 'back'ed out. Maybe Margarito should try it with Cotto.

    My favourite crash moment was Vivian Harris coming up to Kostya Tszyu after Tszyu had just knocked out Mitchell.

    Harris was trying to look intimidating ... and Tszyu turns around, smiles at him and shakes his hand with a 'thank you for congratulating me' nod. Vivian looked like 'I'm trying to scare you man, at least look annoyed .. not happy!'

    Hilarious.

    Mosley didn't get the fight for that reason! many fighters, especially those craving that lucrative fight either for the money or to test themselves against the best has happened for years...Witter to hatton, pryor to SRL and unless there is a big payday waiting for the one who holds the cards the fight probably won't happen.

    After Floyd and Pac could not come to terms...I am not going to cast blame, because i think they are both equally responsible...after that, this was the biggest fight for mayweather...not because of the name (that does not matter so much to him IMHO), but because of the $$$$$$

    well another fighter won do it because he wont be able to, Mosley was a promoter of that event, thats the only reason he got the chance to go up in the ring and confront Floyd

    Mosley got this fight out of luck and not because he called Floyd out in the ring. Even if he didn't call out Floyd, he will still get this fight after Berto pulled out of the fight.

    Pac should do a "Mosley" on Mayweather. Would be memorable.

    Well then what about what Zab did tonight? He was able to crash Devons post fight interview.
