Mosley - Mayorga....

Id rather see Mosley-Mora. Everyone has beaten Mayorga. Mayorga-Cintron/Judah would be more interesting.

 

why didnt they just re-arrange the zab judah fight? i was intrigued by this match up. it would have been good. zab is a fighter who people are still also intrigued by and would like to see fight even tho he's lost all his last significant fights. he remains a major player as indicated by his IBF shot!

 

This is a ****ing ******ed move. He will gain nothing from beating Mayorga, and if he does, by some ungodly stroke of luck lose, his legacy will suffer. He needs to go after a belt. Grabbing a belt at his age would be impressive, even if he takes it from relatively weak opposition

 

As a Shane fan this is disapointing. Why go back up in weight agian to fight a semi-retired guy who is shopworn,doesnt own a belt and isnt even a top ranked contender. All Mosley is getting is a world Champion on his resume,some fairly easy cash and I suppose a weird way somewhat to avenge the Forrest losses. Id rather see Shane vs Paul Williams or atleast a top 10 guy obviously not Collazo or even Quintana maybe Cintron would be a good fight and in late August not October damnit.

 

the only connection i can make is that they both beat vargas. that is the only thing i can think of.

 

Big fan of both but have this small urge to see Mayorga to succeed....deep down.

 

mayorga succeed?

 

I wholeheartedly agree. I don't know who's behind this, but it seems like Jin Mosley is determined to ruin Shane's chances at making his last few years in the sport count.

 

I understand why people are somewhat dissapointed, but what else is Mosley gonna do? Cotto's schedule is booked for the rest of the year, Mayweather's 'retired', Judah pussied out, and obviously he's not gonna fight his business-partner Oscar.
So are there that many good options? And hey, fighting Mayorga in a comeback fight worked perfectly to get Trinidad's and De la Hoya's name back out there. It should do just fine for Shane, and after he's done, everybody can look for him to get right back in the mix with the big boys again.

 

Dude, Mosley can't make a comeback. This is his comeback. He has precious few years, at most, left as an effective fighter, and he needs to make them count. He will get very little credit for beating Mayorga. Everyone has beat Mayorga, and Mayorga is damn near shot. He needs to beat a decent, young, prime fighter and grab a belt, that would boost his legacy quite a bit, IMO. I do agree that there really aren't many other options, though. Fate screws Mosley's career up once again.

 

Well don't be down at the the dumps over it. Like i said, after he's done with Mayorga he'll get in there for a meaningful fight again, and even if he doesn't, it's not as if his legacy as a first-ballot HOF-er isn't secured already. No need to feel bad about his career.

 

I get frustarted thinking about Mosley's career because I feel that with his natural assets and skills he could have accomplished much more than he did. Doesn't help that he's also one of my favorite fighters of all time. Oh well, at least a fight with Mayorga should be entertaining, and Mayorga will be a decent name on his resume.
