Anyone else not that excited about Mayweather vs Mosley?

he didn't clinch because his legs were gone he clinched to offset margos rhythm, he didn't let margo get started.

hopkins done the same against pavlik.

 

This is def a bit of a let down as is Pac-Clottey compared to what was expected but I still think this is a good fight. I'm looking forward to see how it goes down.

 

Im sure Hopkins worked with him going into that fight. Shane was doing things I'd simply never seen him do, and Ive been following his career since the beginning. He had strategy A B and C for that fight, and he negated all of Margaritos strengths.

 

i think it will be a run away potshot master class from floyd but ill still watch incase mosley catches him

 

Shane is no prime but he is the bigger man with speed, makes up for it I suppose. Besides its very hard to find a fellow HOF at their absolute peak to fight, Shane is champ and p4p so thats good enough.

 

Actually, I am pretty damn excited about this one. A lot more excited than I am for the Pacquiao-Clottey fight. You have the #2 and #3 welterweights and the #2 and #3 pound for pound fighters in the world, fighting each other. That's not exciting? Maybe it's a little less exciting than the idea of Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, but I think the fight itself just might be even better.
I think Mosley, even at this point in his career, can still cause some trouble for Mayweather. However, I do think that Mayweather will prevail in this bout by decision and probably by a decent margin. Like a 116-112 or something. I for one, hope Shane Mosley wins this fight. I do respect Floyd Mayweather for stepping up and taking this fight. Even though the fight hasn't been officially announced, I really do believe that it will happen. It's the best money option for Mayweather, second of course to the Pacquiao fight that didn't get made. Also, it could be possible that Mayweather thinks this is the best time to fight Mosley. He is 38 years old and will have been inactive for over a year by fight time. Either way, it's a fight that I would love to see. I hope it gets made. Shane has already agreed to the olympic style drug testing, so that's a good start.

 

im excited about this fight..its gonna be a good fight and Floyd will be tested by a big WW with alot of skill

 

I'm sick of people trying to discredit Shane's win over Margo. Loaded gloves or not, Shane did to Margarito what no one has or could. Even if Margarito's gloves had been loaded there wouldn't have been any difference, because he never landed any solid punches in the first place. Margarito gave everyone he ever fought hell, and Shane demolished him. He took every rounds and knocked him out, something no one else could do. Shane looked great in that fight, and it's not just because Margarito was "tailor made" for him, it was because Mosley executed a game plan to perfection. He neutralized Margarito's greatest assets. Chin and work-rate and stamina. He never allowed Margarito to build any momentum or throw more than 70-ish punches around through tactical clinching and jabbing. He broke Margarito down by, instead of focusing entirely on the head, killing his body first. He did everything right in that fight. It was a masterful performance. Shane Mosley shut Margarito down, beat Margarito up and knocked Margarito out in a way no one thought anyone could.

 

This is called sideline hating. Take notes.

 

He clinched because it was the right tactic. You saw what happened to Cotto when he did nothing but move. All he did was allow Margarito to build up momentum and corner him.
