Mosley is a true gentleman.

No doubt. Other than the Balco controversy, he is one of the most stand out guys in the sport. He was gracious in defeat against Cotto. And, never pumps his chest or braggs. He is the type of person that should be front and center in the sport.

 

He really is a down to earth guy as well....my friend knows him and speaks the world of him....too bad about the roids ...that really tarnishes his legacy.
Even after the Cotto fight ....he gave props to Cotto....saying that he was the better man...faster and stronger than he imagined.

Still I think that was his last best performance.....

 

Yeah, Mosley is Class, What the **** was he doing putting the belt around Margarito's Waist for after the fight though, I mean he's been told pre-fight that Margarito's been caught cheating?

 

That was the kISS OF DEATH.

He was letting Margie know that this is the last time you will ever have a title belt around your waist.

 

Mosely is one of a kind.

 

He is unique.
And a very clean fighter in the ring, not a fouler.
He will retaliate, but not a dirty fighter.
Like James Toney in that respect (if only that!)

 

Soft spoken and with tons of class as a person.

Top it off, he never ran from anybody. Took on opponents everyone was afraid of. The boxing hall of fame should have a special place for this man.

 

Eh, I think he's a bit dirty in the ring. He does headbutt a little bit, and he always holds while hitting.

 

Very true, lots of good people faced, and tried to avenge his losses.

 

He deifinitely earned the tag 'Sugar' on that night.

 

he's always been like that

 

135 ex champion
147 champion (3 times i believe)
154 ex champion
has one of the fastest hands in the sport
and he has the best personality in the boxing world
his HOF status is secured even when he continues to fight.

 

Yes, Mosley really has been a nice guy for the sport and touched gloves with Margarito round after round.

 

Agree Mosley is a class act. Both of those guys seemed to have a lot of respect for each other - I've never seen two professionals touch 'em up so many times.

As a sidenote, there was a moment just before the opening bell when Margo was holding the corner ropes behind his back and he was leaning forward stretching. He had a look of doubt on his face. Did anyone notice that or am I dreaming? It was a look of "something just ain't quite right"
