    It's annoying in my opinion. Some one is going to cold cook his ass if he keeps doing that.He should retire any ****ing way

    You have indeed.

    So how about you use your brain. Maybe Mosley thinks, I was brought up to be respectful, just because I'm paid to punch this person in the head doesn't mean I have to hate him.

    It slows the fight down and gives him time to get to the center of the ring ,stops his opponents if they wanted to from quick starting out of their corner

    It's called sportsmanship.

    Hate it or not some guys are like that.

    It can be annoying. Mosely should also retire.

    I get the feeling he'll try to get in with a top guy next.

    And he'll receive another beating

    Its not about sportsmanship, Shane does it to take the sting out of the fight and to make silent agreements to not go too hard on each other, he and winky did it terribly together, talking to each other as well, acknowledging every little potential accidental foul.

    He did it to Pac and Pac didnt bother to KTFO his ass neither.

    He doesnt do it when hes the boss in the ring.

    Floyd "cold cooked"(see above) his azz. :lol:

    No, Floyd really did cold **** him(in the sense of sucker punched) , at one point in the fight, when Mosley tried to touch gloves. :yep

    (It was after a dispute)

    Merchant's words were: "Mosley was apologizing, and Mayweather was punching". :lol:

    I'll never forget that. And I hate Merchant.
