Does anyone NOT like mosley?
I'm not asking who is a fan or who isn't or even if you like him - im wondering does anyone NOT liek this guy?
As if yet i have never spoken to or met someone who doesn't liek him, i don't think i have ever seen someone on the forum not like him either...
Its possible a sad thing really because he is such a NICE guy it is maybe why he never reached the true superstardom he should have had... Had had everything i think a boxer needes to be a mega star except for he was to nice lol... there was no loud mothing like RJJ or conterversial like hopkins, nothing golden about him like oscar or bad attitude like tyson...
thoughts?

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
He has a geat mentality which very few fighters have today,he's always willing to fight fighters who many not always be the most viable option financially. Forrest and Winky come to mind when he could havefought Tito or Oscar instead! I liek him. I don't think Wack is too keen on him though.

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
Whats not to like... Great fighter, great guy. You are right though. He should have found some way to make some more noise. I think he was always kind of insecure about his skills. As good as he is he should be calling everybody at 147 and telling them flat out in national TV "You guys think your hot sh*t, come fight me. I'm the best" If he had made more noise and been more sure of himself before, we would be seeing PBF - Mously this saterday.

Huh? He's partner in a very large promotion company and his last 3 fights brought him 4 mil each on Vargas and 2 mil on Collazo. Not too shabby. It's not like he really needs a publicist. He's waiting to see where all the cards fall before his next fight. He's got ownership interest as his own promoter, so not like he really needs a manager.
I think PBF doesn't like Mosley.

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
I like him as a person, but IMO he was a waste of talent... He could have been Sooo much more with a really good trainer from when he was young.

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
I like him...great man...great fighter....

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
mosley is a real professional. his one of my favorite fighter. well deserving of the nick name "sugar". shane could have fought for mega fights but instead he would rather do a friend a favor, just like with winky he knew winky was a great fighter thats why shane gave him a fight. Same could be said with vernon. Mosley is a great fighter and a great person.
The problem is he didn't promote himself good enough, but still we all know his a great fighter. And we will remember the third "sugar".

Yep, totally agree. A great sportsman!

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
It's hard not to like Shane. I met him the first time when he was considered in the pound for pound top 3....Polite,,Well spoken,,Not a trash talker,,,Perfect gentleman inside the ring and out....
I do agree that it may have kept him from the spotlight but IMO Shane does his talking in the ring....
One of the generations best

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
How can you hate him?
Gives everybody a chance, hasn't been KO'd.
Family man, always has a smile.
:)
Probably the classiest fighter today.

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
I like Mosley, I haven't seen too many of his fights, but from what I've seen he's a great fighter and a nice guy. The only problem I have with him is that outside the ring his wife seems to carry his testicles around in her purse ;D

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
SSM helped me out when I was in desperate need of cash and hurting financially when I was in Vegas................by "winning" against Oscar in their rematch ;D

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
Shane was on top of the world when he beat oscar 2000 the first time but his pride and heart made him fight vernon twice then after a questionable W over oscar in 2003 he got pride and heart made him fight Winky twice in 2004. Thats why he doesn't have the stardom. when he fought oscar in 2003 boxing was alot less popular than it was in 2000. i know that sounds crazy but it was. In 2000 Oscar Shane Tito and Vargas were pretty hot. Plus the Heavyweight divison wasn't quite as shitty. Tyson Holyfield and lennox were still some what respectable but in 2003 we wanted to tyson and holyfield to go home. this had some effect on shane as well as every other fighter.

Like the old Sara Lee Bakery ad. Nobody doesn't like SSM. ;D :)

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
You know.......... that's a damn good question. I myself like Mosley and have always rooted for him. Aside from being an all-time great boxer, he's such a nice guy. What a refreshing change from the Judahs and the Toneys of the boxing world. I'm sorry, but although what counts is what goes on inside the ring, I personally put some stock in how they conduct themselves outside the ring, as well.
-
Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
I didn't like Shane, simply because I still think De la Hoya beat him in the rematch.
But I have since come to respect him for finally fighting Vargas. I saw ODH fight all the big bad boys of his era and Shane fought some tough customers too but they were different, I mean you can't really compare Trinidad and Forrest or Vargas and Wright, those guys are so different in their mindsets and in their strategies but they are all good fighters
It just took me a while to accept that Shane fought who he could and I think maybe Oscar's name carried more weight which is why he always got the bigger fights
-
Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
Shane's living proof that you can be a great, exciting and entertaining boxer without being an a**hole......... a concept some of today's "great" fighters can't seem to grasp.
;)

Re: Does anyone NOT like mosley?
It's imposssible to hate Mosely, he's like the black version of ODLH all around great fighter with GREAT polite and classy demeanor. I didnt choose a side to root for when Sugar Shane and the Golden boy fought.

I find Mosely much more genuine in his personality and more real about his opinion of himself. Shane's humility seems real.... Oscar's seems forced.

Well I'd still give Oscar credit for that, I mean it's hard to stay humble if you're that sought after :)

And I gotta sort of agree with you, 'cause none of us know what it's like to be that sought after. However, lots of other boxers are total heroes in their respective hometowns or countries, and still manage to retain a genuine sort of humility. In a way, I think you either got it in you, or you don't.
