    To the man that is Floyd Pretty Boy a.k.a. Money Mayweather

    I have been a big critic of his "opponents" but I have always appreciated his skills and Shane is the biggest test out there for him atm.

    He could easily have taken on a much lesser opponent e.g. Matthew Hatton but has decided on Sugar Shane who is a very live genuine WW.

    War Mayweather.

    AHAHAHHA what a ****ing joke. I really dont think Mosley is gonna be a big deal for MW. Mosley is a great fighter. Look what Cotto did to him, expect worst from MW. Mayweather is a ***** with incredible skills.

    I dont see people starting threads giving respect to other fighters when they fight the best why should Fraud be different?the guy is doing what he should've done a long time ago,yes he deserves some credit but not more than any other fighter .

    Why dont people start threads giving respect to Sugar Shane?

    Mosley and Cotto was v.close

    And the Cotto that fought Pacman was a different Cotto that fought Mosley

    Cotto never got over the beating from Margarito (which Im sure we can safely say Margacheato had his hands wrapped) and was a shell of himself vs Pacman

    We can't read too much into the Margarito fight because we don't know how much of an advantage Margarito had with huis loaded gloves (The Mosley fight suggests a lot)

    But name me one WW who is a more dangerous opponent than Mosley.... bar maybe Pacman. And don't say Paul Willaiams, that fight just isn;t viable and he wouldn't create near as much revenue as fighting Mosley.

    Agreed respect is earnt not given and he hasnt earned it in my oppinion by saying he is going to do this and going to do that. He should be fighting the best out there consistently throughout his career to earn that respect surely ??

    What did Cotto 'do' to Mosley??

    I thought that fight was extremely competitive.
