    i say if its a real close fight (which i hope it is) he should fight a few more tp welterweights such as cintron, williams and margarito and then go after floyd,
    .
    if he loses badly then he can retire or like the first option he can still fight a top welterweight to see where he is at

    If he loses, he will call it a day and hang em up. He's getting too old to make another run after this fight. Jin would probably make him retire.

    Agreed. Floyd won't fight him right after a loss to Cotto.

    If its close, I dont there is any shame in losing to Cotto that way, he is a great fighter. I actually give shane a good shot in this fight, he has the style and chin to pose a problem for Cotto.

    Mosley would probably fight a couple more times, and then call it one. But he will KO Cotto, so he should be fine. :good

    Mosley is not the type of guy that just accepts defeat. If he loses a close competitive fight, he will be looking for a rematch in the post fight presser.

    close fight or not . . . if he loses . . . he should retire.

    DLH, Vargas and Morales are the other fighters who should all retire. They should leave it to the young fighters.

    It all really depend on how he lost, more then anything. If it's close, or controversial, then he just keeps fighting. He's got the name and will get another fight.

    If he's blown away or looks terrible in a lopsided loss, then time to rethink things.

    if he loses no matter how close or not, he should retire unless he jumps on the Senior Tour bus.

    the only thing is im not sure how many seniors there are left around his weight. And he's already fought del la hoya couple times.

    Of course if he was a middleweight or heavier there would still be plenty of senior tour exhibition fights still left. :lol:


    the bottom line is in this day and age with marketing gurus, pr teams and the power of name brand, older fighters are finding it easier to hang around and pick fight that will sell. look at mayorga and vargas. two guys on the downward slide yet come fight night there'll be lots of people eagerly tuning in or buying tickets.
