Talking points memo: Shane Mosley's darkside coming to light

I think you should think twice before sticking the knife in. As it is now, we have Shane saying he didn't know and two people saying he did. If it comes down to choosing who you believe, surely you would say Mosley? He seems to be one of the nicest guys in the sport and the other two are criminals.

I'm not saying that Mosley is guilt free. I just think we should wait before passing judgment. And if you do wnat to judge at such an early stage, then Mosley is probably the person least likely to lie.

 

The hard part about believing Mosley is the great distance he traveled to get his supplements.

 

I've never liked the guy since his poor performance in the Forrest rematch, and he's given me just more and more reason to dislike him over the years. I've never fully bought into his whole nice guy act either. He can be as big a lying cheat as any other corrupt athlete on the scene. These new allegations just add fuel to the fire. **** Mosley!

 

Why?

 

Expand.

 

Maybe blaming his Dad for losing to Winky? Losing to Forrest because of the Headbutt. Maybe that's what he's talking about?

 

If thats what he was talking about, its very, very thin to say the least.

I will wait for him.

 

Many boxers have fired their trainers or made excuses after losses, including Oscar, Pac etc.

This is competitive drive, hardly something to be ashamed of for gods sake. Other boxers should try to have more of it.

This is really getting slippery now. Who cares about his relationship with his wife, and who really knows the inner workings of their relationship.

This accusation concerns me. Mosely is in my top 10, but if I find out he did this he will be bumped down.

However, this is the first real accusation that carries weight to his charachter, and your statement about him not taking responsibility for his actions and having a dark side to his charachter infered to me that he has a troubled history beyond this current issue. You didn't really provide any evidence of this, and personal relationship issues, marital issues, and wanting to take the best competition simply doesn't merit such an inference, especially given the thread title.

 

On a personal note, I'm a little heartbroken about this situation with Shane if all leads to where you guys think it may. I lived very close to Pomona when he was on his run at lightweight and I have followed him for a long time.

 

Your an ignorant fool, or just another ignorant fool I should say that gets on a boxing forum and says a pro fighter is not a real man.

 

WTF are you talking about great distance? atsch

 

you know what? who gives a ****. Most proffesinoal athletes, hell, most mother****ers period who work out take roids or some other substance. This is 2008 dog, get with the times. You know how easy it is to get away with it? hell HGH i dont think can even be tested from what ive read. I personally dont see a problem with it. I mean, what the **** makes it different than taking creatine or protien shakes, or whatever. Christ man you ****ers need to get real. And btw shane roided up or not, is still the man.

And btw, just wait 10 years from now when it is universally accepted, regulated, and made legal.

 

And you are clearly an alias who had a prior life as an ******* here on ESB, and probably one I have run out of a few threads.

By the way, even this latest post has your idiocy written all over it.
