    Sugar Shane Mosley-Andre Berto is a fight much like Bernard Hopkins-Jermain Taylor in 2005. In one corner you have the Lou Dibella fighter, young, undefeated. And in the other corner you have the Nazim Richardson fighter, and future hall of famer.

    Mosley is 38..Hopkins was 40.
    Hopkins and Mosley are both considered future hall of famers.
    Berto was 26..Taylor was 26.
    Taylor was 23-0 and Berto is 25-0.

    Many thought Hopkins would win, yet Taylor eked out a close and very controversial decision. I wonder if it is a close fight will the Vegas judges do the same thing and go with the younger fighter. I am wonder if others see the same similarities.

    It's very possible Mosley will show his age in this fight.

    He showed something was wrong against Mayorga. Who says the Margarito fight wasn't just a style conflict?

    Yea since before the Margarito fight.

    I'd like to see Mosley against a live opponent. Not a cheating punching bag.


    BTW Did you find a boxer you find pretty yet ******?

    Berto is tailor made for Mosley. He is fast but not hard to find, because his ring movement is not exceptional. He'll also get hit flush because he doesn't move his head much.

    He was also against a much bigger guy in Mayorga and also that fight was not at 147. Shane's always been better at 147 then 154.

    Not after it was clear that Margarito had to cheat to win.

    or did you forget he was caught with hard inserts?


    Clearly, when you look at boxers, you think of how good looking they are and want to suck their ****.


    When I look at a boxer, well, Im definitely not thinking about sucking their **** like you are.

    :patsch You prefer to play in the world of "pretend" other play in the real world ******, where proof is the bottom line.


    Suckin **** is your game Eze. Hell, you worship a guy named Pretty Boy. And it's pretty obvious this type of discussion is all you are capable of.

    Why not show how smart you are and explain why Shane vs. berto is like Hops vs. taylor?

    It is an interesting match-up that will be similar to Hopkins-Taylor in my opinion. Berto is a great athlete with a lot of talent. But he hasn't put it together yet. Mosley is still a top fighter and future hall of famer at the tail end of a great career. Will Mosley be motivated? We all know Berto will be. In my opinion it will be a close fight that will go either way..let's say Mosley by Majority Decision. Then it will lead to a a rematch as both won't have anybody else to fight.

    How much more proof do you need? The court documents released even state that the pads were HARD and had a substance on them.

    Why would GAUZE inserts be hard and have a white substance on them?



    I'm not the one who commented on how pretty / not pretty Mayweather is. *** boy.

    Read up Rube, circumstantial evidence is NOT the same as solid proof. Got that ******? Did they teach that at whatever high school you dropped out of?

    So ****in what. :patsch So I'm a *** for saying he's not pretty? Are you REALLY this ****in dumb, or is it an act?

    Again, Why not show how smart you are and explain why Shane vs. berto is like Hops vs. taylor?

    I know trying to give lame ass insults and sounding like a ****** who was kicked in the head repeatedly is al you can do, but try hard.

    :lol:

    I just it wasn't solid enough that the GAUZE they took out of his wrap, was hard.

    Tell me Lance, is Gauze suppose to be hard? **** even year old gauze is still soft.



    :lol::lol::lol:

    Why would I need to explain that? I never said it was.

    Shane vs. Berto will be nothing like Hops vs. Taylor since their styles of the former are nothing like that of the latter. Only thing close is the difference in age.

    Anyway, this should be a good win for Shane. Berto needs to box to win. Any slugging or or trading favors Shane.
