Pretty much. I would still like to hear an argument about why Mosley possibly doesn't deserve the praise, when he was the best fighter around for some time and was considered the p4p #1. Also, I would like to note that the lack of the known emoticon in your posts indicates a poor psychological state. Cheer up, we're with you.
No, I don't think he should retire. He lost some of his reflexes and hand speed but he wasn't completely shot or washed up and can still compete at a high level... I think the he looked so bad and got dominated the way he did... because he was fighting the best fighter of this era, Floyd Mayweather. Jr.... Floyd is Great and he makes elite fighters look like bums/amateurs. He shouldn't retire like this, he should go out with a BANG! There's still some other past-their-best, big name fighters out there he could **** up... like, Judah, Hatton & Clottey... but he can't win against any of the top fighters anymore! However, he could still knock Judah & Hatton the **** out! And even though his legacy is secure, adding a few more names onto your resume can only help.... and Judah & Hatton are good names to have on your resume so no... he should fight on, at least 1 more time and retire with a win.
Beating Judah or Hatton does nothing for him at this point. I've been a fan of Shane's for around fifteen years, and I'd really just prefer to see him retire. He was once a great talent, he always took on the best, and he truly seems like one of the good guys in the sport. I wish him the best and hope he hangs 'em up. :smoke
Did you see what Hatton looked like at the Mosley-Mayweather weigh-in? No way Hatton steps inside a ring this year.
No I didn't see him. He's a fat ass. With Golden Boy having 3 of Britain's biggest stars, they need to have a huge event at Wimbley. It would provide both Shane and Hatton another big pay day. After that, they should both retire. I fear for both fighters health.
Agreed. Shane will be the only one to make the decision. He will probably make over 10Million once the final PPV numbers come through. He should now be set finanically. He will never get another big fight that could enhance his legacy further. After Saturday that ship as sailed. And he is already headed into the hall of fame on the 1st ballot. Was he as good as Sugar Ray Leonard? Heck no. But was he on of the best fighters of his era? He sure was. Nothing to be ashamed. He has had a fantastic career. The last thing I want to see is Mosley getting in there with Andre Berto for a stepping stone fight. I mean he could win the fight, but a win does nothing for his legacy, and a KO loss would be a terrible way to see him end up.
After his next fight I wish he retires. We have too much fighters fighting on longer than they need to and it would be sad to see Shane as a stepping stone to young guys he would've destroyed years ago.
Hell no, not yetm he still has fight in him, he just couldn't deal with Mayweather. He needs to seriously rematch Cotto, Margarito, or fight Berto.
