    B-Hop seems pretty happy about the fight coming off.

    Slick?

    Certainly not anymore...Even at his best D wasn't Shane's best attribute.

    No not really. Mosley was an extremely athletic boxer-puncher rather than a pure boxer.

    used to be incredibly athletic which allowed to to slip or duck a punch and immediatley come back with a punch at full power

    but the man enjoys a tear up too much to even learn how to be slick

    If you made a list of all the elite fighters who could be termed unarguably slick at this moment, you would find the list is very tiny. Shane isn't on that list. Neither is Berto. Perhaps if Pacman wants to bring Calderon up to 147 and with some paint, and a citizenship test, we'll finally have an end to this.

    Puerto Ricans have to pass citizenship to become Americans? Come to think of it, what the **** is Puerto Rico? I know they have some boxers in the Olympics but they aren't a sovereign nation right?

    They were moved to Mars in late 2004 and they have their own place there, it's fine, they like it, they're totally autonomous. The actual country is there now, not just the people. If you try to go to where PR was you'll be over your head with water now. Good old industrial waste water (that's what the US did with that space).

    ...Apparently you didn't hear about the atmospheric shield issue. You should keep up with politics more.

    Cheers for sharing that man. I'll get daily news to my mobile phone from the Foreign Office Travel Advice page and the Puerto Rican Government website.

    Slick - no.

    Though Mosley is a "power boxer" who likely will get out power boxed by Pac.

    Hopkins was just saying all that nonsense to help Shane get the fight. Btw Mosley is NOT slick and has never been. He's just a fast brawler.
