    That has been the way he has operated in recent years, but after the Pac fight fell through and he was widely ridiculed in various media outlets for considering Matthew Hatton, he had little choice this time round, he had to have a credible opponent.

    Thinking back on the last 9 months though, it is amazing the PR hit Floyd took from his interview with RA the Rugged Man.

    If Floyd loses to Mosley, a good deal of it can be traced back to the fallout from that radio interview being ultimately responsible for Floyd having to fight a live opponent for the first time at 147.

    Perhaps you should consider writing it from the POV of Leonard Ellerbe and how he is feeling about Floyd's first loss and having to witness it. :D

    Ellerbe might pay the site to take it down.

    in my opinion i don't think mosley should be that big of an underdog, but as a small betting person, i don't look at odds when i bet on boxing, i just bet on who i think will win. what i mean by that is i wouldn't bet on a fighter just because he's a 4-1 underdog, i would have to believe in my mind he's favourite like i did when i betting on dirrell to beat abraham, ward to beat kessler, martinez to beat pavlik, hopkins to beat pavlik, wladimir to beat peters, joe calzaght to beat lacy, and winky to beat trinidad. those are some underdogs that i thought were actually favourites with my boxing knowledge. i know alot more about boxing than your average betting person, so it works hugely in my favour.

    Mayweather is actually a known cheater. He cheated Marquez on the weigh in. What Pac said is actually reasonable.

    Pac has never been known as a steriod user, and Mayweather was just throwing out baseless allegations.

    There's the difference.

    Either way, if Mayweather woulda kept his mouth shut, the fight woulda happened.PERIOD.

    Like the time they were all right when they picked De La Hoya to beat Pac.

    floyd keeping his mouth open could actually help boxing. i'm not saying floyd is the saviour of boxing, because the guy is only thinking about himself, but if stricter tests happen because of this, then i'll be very happy with that.

    After this fight, boxing will go back to bein boxing.

    You think Mosley is gonna ask Pac for this ridiculous ****?

    He don't give a ****. Like Nazim said, Pac is a great athlete.

    Well Shane will be even more desparate after he loses. So I'm sure he would fight Pac afterwards and not ask for any additional testing. Hell, he'd probably start juicing again like he did in 2003 in order to get that edge back.

    Shane ain't goin out like a *****.

    He never has and never will.

    I never seen him look like a ***** in any fight.

    And Mayweather stinkin out a decision isn't goin to hurt his confidence. It's just gonna make Mayweather look like a coward, like when he fought Oscar.

    Same thing.

    You know Floyd is gonna make more excuses not to fight anyone worth fightin, and Mosley will fight Pac right away.

    That steriod accusational bull**** is for coward ass bitches. Ain't no ***** in Shane. Girls gossip.

    I'm sure that fight will happen, Manny likes to fight guys coming off losses. And it's no gossip when it comes to Shane's past drug use, that's 100% pure fact. It makes you wonder why Shane felt the need to turn to PEDs in the first place seeing as how there's supposedly no ***** in Shane.

    That's the typical reaction of PBF haters before the fight is signed PBF is scared of Mosley and wouldn't fight him in a million years and if he did fight him Mosley would stop him. As soon as the fight is signed Shane is old and shot PBF fighting him proves nothing he still hasn't fought a real threat at WW.:patsch

    I also find it funny that some of PBF's biggest haters Blade and Luke O talk **** about PBF but both pick him to beat Shane and Pac. Where's the logic in that?

    This aslo shows you what a POS Arum is and will say anything to further his agenda.
