To have KO'd "the man" at the time, even after we found out Margo really was a little *****, how does Mosely only manage to be fighting Berto when Floyd and Pacman are both out there? Talk about Golden Boy mismanagment. He had the division in his hands with that win and he parlayed it into Berto? Nobody even cares about that fight and Berto might actually even beat him. This could turn into the worst situation for Mosely after not being able to capitalize on the Margo KO and possibly losing to Berto. Mosely is such a second thought now.
It might not work out that bad for Mosley. If he win He will have two belts, then he can take on The Mayweather Pacman winner for the undisputed welterweight title. This is all contingent on the Pbf Pac fight happening though. And if Pbf Pac doesn't happen, He might be an option for Pac or pbf:bbb
its because hes a dangerous fighter who dosnt do good ppv sales - all the top guys avoid him because they dont think its worth the risk whereas someone like berto can fire himself into the big time by beating mosley an therefore has a lot to gain
The circumstances surrounding the welterweight landscape are no fault of Mosley's. He'll get one of those guys in the ring eventually next year. He just needs to beat Berto.
The whole problem is he has to fight Berto, and he can lose. If he loses, that huge Margo win ends up being a small Berto payday and defeat, and game over. Thats why its so crazy hes in that position. No interest in a Mosely vs Floyd or Pac if he loses. This is one of the rare instances where Mosley should have lined up a cupcake to fight to feel things out for 4th qtr of 2010. Instead, he might have gotten a really tough fight like he claimed he wanted, but might have bitten off more then he can chew.
If by looking like a brute mean plaiyng your cards wrong then yah? Roach said from the very beginnig he wasnt interested in fighting Mosely . Mayweather however , is just acting like he is afraid of Mosely . I dont know why Mayweather would even come back out of retirement if he didnt want Mosely's belt. What would the ' p4p crem de la crem " come out of retirement for if he is not going to fight the best?
Mosley should have NEVER signed that fight with Berto, just ridiculous, he should've left himself available for Floyd, because that was the fight that he REALLY wanted right? But guess what this shows, its shows just how desperate he is at the moment, and thats more sad than it is anything else. Rather waiting the few weeks until Nov.15th (when he'd be able to throw his hat into the Floyd negotiations as the OFFICIAL welterweight champion of the world), he decides to sign with Berto for early Jan, total desperation move. Shows he feels both pressed for time and money...
Mosley is simply goin to Unify those belts while Pac and May fight over ringsize and what shoes to wear in their own fight. Berto doesn't have a shot in hell against Mosley. For ****s sake Berto's fatass barley got by Collazo and he hugged Urango (140 pounder) like a ***** for 12 BOREING rounds.
Ya, but Mosely also hasnt fought since 1974 and when he did fight last, I dont care what Margo did to Cotto, but the Mosley Margo fight was basically Mosley vs a punching bag. Didnt really show much of Mosley, except that Margo was mentally a wreck after being caught minutes before the fight and probably taking Mosely very lightly considering his fight vs Cotto. Mosley might not be as good as his last fight made him look. And thats why its a shame that he rolled that into this super fight of him vs Berto, whoopee!
No he didnt play his cards wrong he tried to get both guys in the ring but it just didnt happen. To say noboddy cares about Mosley-Berto is retarted sure its not talked about right now but look at the gigantic fight we just had. Come Jan this will be a big focus. No matter Mosley will have the chance to defeat a undefeated World Champion and add to status as number 1 WW, add another belt and make more demand for a big fight along with adding a few million. Overall he still comes out decent assuming he wins. If Pacquiao-Mayweather actually fight which I have my doubts and the winner dont fight Shane then everyone will see they are bitches although I doubt Pacquiao would duck Shane. I personally think Floyd waits to see how Shane looks vs Berto if Shane struggles then he will fight him and just use the number 1 WW thing to hype the fight that way he still makes great money although less but still great money and less risk. Floyds got a gameplan trust me on that.
i'm not gettin' on you now...but what do you mean w/ pac and pbf out there? mosely has to make a fight. pac/cotto was made despite mosely (at least publicly) begging for the shot. you know pbf wants the winner of that fight, so what's mosely supposed to do?
Mosley shouldnt have taken a year off. It hurt him more than anything. It seems a long time ago since he beat Margarito. All the buzz he had is nearly gone. He better destroy Berto to keep his name mentioned with Mayweather and Pacquiao.
SSM will easily tame Berto. I hope Andre can recover nd become champ again. Mosley isn't leaving anything behind; his tym is short so he's going 4 broke nd Money May knows dis nd wants 2 make sure da money is right if he loses. Floyd Jr. really wants to keep his "0" even if he competes with sub-par comp.
