Is Mosley Stupid

Hindsight 20/20, it was a terrible decision. Shane is not a draw, and he didn't realize that. He should've taken the $12 mill and fought Hoya again. The two Wright losses set his career back a few years. Now he's resorted to begging for fights now that his career is coming to an end.

 

He probably thought he was going to win against Wright, and that DLH 3 would always be there.

 

It's as Merchant put it, about both Mosley after beating Oscar, and Forrest right after he beat Shane: beating Michael Jordan doesn't make you Michael Jordan.

 

Agreed in hindset it looks awful but Mosley found a way to dig himself out of that hole where he lost out of 6 fights. Shane was just to proud to take less then a guy he already defeated twice and why wouldnt he ? Plus he obviously thought he would beat Winky and a fight with Tito Trinidad was already signed if he won and that was a huge payday to look forward to.

 

And he wasn't counting on getting divorced and losing half his money

 

Just like Hopkins should have took 40 percent of the purse in the Jones rematch back in 02 but Hopkins just Mosley are 2 ******ed fighters that thinks just cause they beat big time draws that they are big time draws too. I guess both watch too many Rocky movies.

 

Gary Shaw?

 

That was a very dumb decision

 

atsch

 

Hopkins ended up getting $10 mill to fight Oscar. He would've received less than that with the Roy Jones offer. Hopkins has gotten some of his biggest paydays and his rep has only grown stronger since he turned down that offer. Meanwhile, Roy Jones has gotten his ass handed to him several times since refusing bend in his stance with Hopkins. His rep has taken a huge hit, as has his earning potential. I fail to see how Hopkins ****ed up with that one.

 

Hopkins could have gotten more then 12 million fighting De la hoya if he would have accept 40 percent of the purse for the Jones rematch back in 2002 cause if Hopkins beat Jones in 02 then fighting De la hoya , Hopkins would get pay way more then 12 million dollars. Hopkins still feels he's a huge draw in which it was very hard to get the Jones deal finally to be done. Mosley is just plain stupid when it comes to money percent split. Remember when Mosley said "I'm willing to give Pacquiao 60 percent so that we can make the fight happen."<<<<Mosley talks like it should be 50/50 or 60 percent in his favor.

 

Hopkins would have gotten way more then 12 million fighting Oscar if he would have fought Roy Jones in 2002 cause if he beat Jones in 2002 then Hopkins can have the leverage of getting more then 12 million. Hopkins is a very greedy guy that thinks he's a huge draw. Now he's fighting a bum fighter on versus channel lol.<<<Yea some kind of draw is Hopkins lol.
