    Mosley is just shot to the hilt. The fight shouldn't have even been made in the first place, and I'm not trying to exclude the performance by him.

    I know this performance has overshadowed him, but don't forget Mosley was once a great fighter.

    Mosley has turned into a Roy Jones style fighter, there is nothing left.

    That's what guys looking to cash out do: look for the biggest name out there to get that last paycheck.

    Man I feel for you, this hurt boxing big time in the casual fan base. Definetly lost a **** load of casual fans as a result of Mosley pussyness. No one could've predicted that. I knew it was gonna be one sided but I at least figured Manny would win by spectacular KO early which would have won over more casual fans instead of losing them.

    Lucky for me I happened to have a group of MC's who are MMA/casual boxing fans over at the studio while Ortiz vs Berto was on and they were all amazed and left hella impressed with boxing. They keep asking me about fights coming up worth watching and past ones to check on youtube.... I even got a couple scouring this site on the regular now.

    It's really disappointing. We could wax on about how TR played us all on this fight, but I get the feeling even they expected more. We all expected more, especially the casual fans. This fight needed more to in the grand scheme of things.

    I don't understand how he could come into the ring and get that spooked. WTF was naz training him for or how so, that he'd get so spooked? Did they under estimate Pac, or how badly did they under estimate Pac. **** Cotto and Margo have been on the record telling of how different Pac is when you actually fight him. Seems to me Naz is all smoke and mirrors and Shane was just blindsided by how hard it actually is to face Pac. Rambling aside, casual fans aren't going to appreciate nuances, why it is what it is. Did that make sense?
