It is funny how the hating is being set up like a straight right behind a good jab...

Your analogy is terrible.

 

As long as Floyd continues to win, he will be hated.

 

you're opinion is an ignorant one...styles make fights.

This is a very bad style matchup for Mosley and it has nothing to do with hatred for either fighter. Most knowledgable boxing fans can see that, hence their opinion.

You shouldn't assume that the popular opinion is based on hatred.

 

Ive been saying this over & over again. On ESB if you think that Pac is to blame for walking away from the fight b/c of a drug test, ur on PBF nuts. How? I like both fighters. I do understand that PBF has done very well playing the role of the villain but IMO things are getting to the point where it hate PBF no matter what.:rasta

 

Please explain how it is a bad match up for Mosley? :huh
PBF is a bad match up for most fighters. Hes that good.

 

True. Also, I didn't see that many threads that he (Mosley) was shot when Berto was the opponent. More people were saying Berto was gonna get KTFO, or at least beat on points.

 

Despite all of Mosley's physical gifts, he has never been an effective aggressor. Mosley is still the same fighter who couldn't cut off the ring effectively against Forrest and Cotto.

If he couldn't the ring against Cotto, what do you think his chances are against a fighter who uses the entire ring as well as Mayweather? Slim to none.

Mayweather knows this...this is why Mayweather will make this fight happen. Easy UD for may.

 

As soon as he fights PBF he loses it all. Most boxing fans know that he beats Shane anyway.

 

I was at MSG the night of Mosley Cotto & I thought that Mosley won.
The fact of the matter is PBF could be called a bad match up against anyone 154lbs down. So what ur saying doesnt mean much:dead

 

Mosley is past his prime. Period. If he beats him, he will credit for beating a past prime Mosley. That's not too hard to understand, unless you believe Mosley is prime. Then I would laugh. That doesn't mean this is not a good fight though.

 

It really is stupid. I mean, i don't like him at all, but it is odd how he can't get any credit. The smacktalk before was: He won't fight Mosley, he will never fight a top ww, then when he does agree to fight him, the smacktalk is: He is past it, it is an easy win because of styles and on and on.. Some assume that whoever he decides to fight, it is because there is something which makes it an easy fight for him no matter what. He fights mosley: he knows something we don't and it will be an easy win. He fights Pac: he is beating up on smaller guys and he knew he would win. He fights Klitschko: they are slow, he knew he would win. The logic used against Floyd is terrible.

This all coming from someone who thinks he is an arrogant little *****, ofcourse.

 

Cotto didn't get the same slack for beating a "past prime Mosley". Also the same past prime Mosley knocked Margo the **** out.

I agree that Mosley is no longer in his prime, but it's funny that before Berto pulled out, PBF was a ***** for not fighting Mosley. Tons of posters said they wouldn't respect PBF unless he fought a top WW like Mosley, Pac, or Williams. Now that he looks like he's gonna fight Mosley, suddenly he's no longer considered a top WW? The inconsistency here amazes me.

 

This is also true.

 

Not true...Cotto, Margarito, and Pac all matchup well against Floyd Mayweather; He will never fight any of the fighters I just mentioned.

May would probably be favored against all three fighters, but tough fights for Floyd nonetheless.

Styles make fights. I think the fight with Hatton might have been different had the fight been sanctioned at 140lbs. An unbeaten Hatton at 140lbs was a much tougher fight for Floyd. But, his most credible victory to date, even at 147lbs.

Floyd would have had trouble with Kostya Tszyu at 140lbs and Joel Cassamayor at 135lbs back in 2002. Again, he would have probably been favored, but all tough matchups.

So don't confuse being the favorite in a fight with an easy fight style matchup.

BTW, Mosley was winning the fight with Cotto until Miguel started to use the ring...He outboxed Mosley in the Championship rounds. That was the difference in the fight according to the judges score cards.

Very good fight though.
