Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
http://www.doghouseboxing.com/dhb/DeGonzaque_070907.htm
Excellent read imo. Mosley is just wasting time waiting for Floyd,like Margarito did. For such a high profile,experienced guy,that's a silly mistake to make. He needs to stay active,keep fighting. These long delays coupled with his age are not going to help his cause and it's not as if he has been vocal at every oppertunity about fighting Floyd,I only remember once or twice after the Oscar fight,he mentioned it.
I'd like to see him fight the winner of the WW tournament.

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Read an interview with Mosley recently saying he wants one more fight
then retire to concentrate on coaching his son into the olympics 2012
from what i read he does want Mayweather but would happily take Cotto
bth Top Rank and golden boy said they are willing to start talks
so we'll see what happens in nr future
couldnt click on ur link though its not showing :D

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Shane Mosley is a good guy and would give the hardest fight for Mayweather at this moment in time at welterweight. However by next year that will be Cotto, so time is not on his side. So his best bet is to fight the winner of Cotto/Margereto/Williams.
-
Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
First of all, I believe Shane would beat Miguel, Kermit and Joshua easy so and since he knows Miguel is looking after the winner of Tony and Williams, Shane would be left with Kermit and the IBF Welter Championship - that fight would be a bizarre twist of plans towards a different direction of the one he took when he fought Louie Collazo for the WBC interim welterweight Title - Shane has to make an option to wait and fight Mayweather as a mandatory challenger or to go elsewhere... I personally feel Floyd wants Shane, Tony and Miguel to take as many risks between themselves and handpick guys like Ricky as they do so, why wouldn't it be smart for Shane to do the same and keep himself from fire line and vocal exercise? Anyway, beating Mayweather is the only prize people recognize nowadays so when it comes, it comes...

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
I have to say Shane does have to best chance againest Floyd , similer handspeed , he would definatly hit Floyd , so lets get it on now before Shanes to old :)

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
I'm a gr8 advocate of Ricky Hatton but i really wud rather watch Mosley v Mayweather
and soon :laugh:

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Mosley needs to wake up before he fades away into nothingness. Here we have one of the greatest fighters of this decade and what is he doing with all these big fights going around? Just sitting there watching. It's like he has already passed the baton and is content to just let the big fights pass him by.
If PBF don't want to fight you look for someone else. If all the other champs are busy than fight Clottey who has gotten some good publicity lately. Get your name on that newspapper. Get your face on that TV screen and call these guys out. Time is running out fast Shane. Hatton is going to get that fight that you wanted and all he did was do a little trash talking.
-
Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Shane is such a nice guy he wouldn't do trash talking well :)
-
Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Mayweather has handpicked Hatton which is an easier option for him. This is not to say it will not be a hard fight for him but the others are legitamte welterweights. I was of the opinion that Mosley should just sit and wait for Mayweather but people are right he should fight the next best avaiable fighter just to stay in the picture. It is true it would look false for Mosley to trash talk it is not his style.
-
Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
I am a massive Hatton fan but I too would prefer to see Mosely fight Mayweather & Hatton fight Cotto.
I think Mosely has the handspeed & skills to trouble Mayweather where as I think Mayweather would just run from Hatton. At least Cotto would stand toe to toe with Hatton and make it a war!!

I don't think Cotto will ever present the same problems to Floyd that Mosley's speed does.

nor do i, the best match-up right now is mosley, it just doesn't seem that mosley is all that terribly interested and content on letting pbf beat up on hatton first.

Boxerharvey shows how reason can overcome passion from the fan's POV, obviously Cotto vs Hatton and Mayweather vs Mosley are excellent match-ups. Cotto - Hatton would be an absolute give and take hard-core punch-fest ( not advisable for minors, under 18 year olds) while Mayweather - Mosley would be a lightning, blinding, firework job, the perfect storm - now, why doesn't these happen? Cause Cotto goes after Tony since Arum is behind both and still is a very good fight, and cause Mayweather goes after Hatton to avoid Shane. Don't worry about Shane, PBF fans, he has plenty of marketability and support system in GBP...

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Well, the fucking bastard peeping tom should be arrested immediately. I have just gone around my entire house and checked, but he's not looking in here at the moment from outside.
You people in America should do the same RIGHT NOW, I saw him on TV last night so he might still be in the US somewhere.
These so-called 'celebrities' ...... they think they are above the laws of common decent people like us.
It's one rule for us, and one rule for multi-weight world champion boxers. I just don't know what the world is coming to!!

PBF toughest fight was against JLC the first time,possibly one of his slowest opponents(Judah,Oscar,Corrales were all faster,handspeed wise). There are other ways of beating speed without having to match it.

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Mick, Gamo CC back and thanks. Just telling it how it is. I'm a huge fan of Mosley but have been frustrated lately. Maybe it's not all his fault but I think he needs to show that he wants it a bit more. Maybe he could fight Cintron if he wins and set up a unification with the winner of Margo/Williams/Cotto. But hey, maybe he's had enough and that wife of his (who is starting to remind me of Yoko Ono for some reason) is putting on the pressure for him to retire.

Rookie Fan, with all due respect and without much further to do, I see you have the wrong view on this one... Cintron was supposed to be Shane's opponent in his comeback fight to 147 pounds but Kermit took on Suarez for the IBF Title and Shane opted for Collazo and a WBC nº1 contendership, you see, Shane wants the WBC Champ Mayweather. If you are a fan like I am ( have every single Shane fight in DVD) and I believe you are, please don't listen to the crap and the faulse applause - we are not against Jin, Jack or any other Mosley or any GBP chairman like Oscar, we are aiming at Jose Suleiman and Floyd Mayweather - now, Mick, Gamo, let me hear it, LOL

Shane seems happy to fight twice a year now ??? not good for us in the twilight of his career.

Well the hole thing about the wife was just a joke and I did say that it might not be his fault. Bottom line the real reason that Mosley has not gotten the big fights yet is that he's just not very marketable. Even with his aggressive fun to watch style and great combination of speed and power. Even with most of his fights being pure eye candy for all who love boxing. He's just not marketing himself well. PBF said it well when he stated that one fight with DLH sold more than both fights that Mosley had combined. And why is this? He's just too nice and too shy for a fighter and he's just not selling himself like he should. That is nobody's fault but his and GBP.
Fighters are calling out Hatton, Cotto, Maywether and de la Hoya (Even with all the losses). Hell, fighters have been calling out for Trinidad for goodness sake. Trinidad who has been retired for over 2 years and came out of 2 very one sided losses. Yet I can't even remember the last time somebody has called out Mosley. Do you guys see what I'm getting at?

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Shane can wait around silently making the odd comment in an interview about wanting Floyd or he can stay active and fight. It's up to him but he's wasting time and oppertunity to make $$$> Why not take a keep busy fight(a top contender)@, then fight the winner of the WW tournament and therefore make himself a draw for Floyd to fight? That would be the smart thing to do.
-
Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Yes make it so he can't not fight him I agree.

Yeah, I see that these guys have you also, Rookie Fan... Baby, Shane doesn't need to call anybody ( and please read Ring Magazine September 2007 - All Star Report Cards to get to know about Mosley's and other's marketabilities), this is very simple, Floyd can pitty pat Hatton to death but as soon as early 2008 Jose Suleiman will be knocking on his door for a mandatory WBC defense and Floyd has only two scape doors, another handpicked opponent like Casamayor or back into retirement and all time greatness oblivion, either way it's the WBC stripping him of the welter title - so, Shane fans, don't rush him also into problems, remember it was Goosen's words and Floyd's that Jin was the boss in ther household, running the show or whateva ( Ring Mag November 2006 - the Sweet Life SS back on Top) - typical Floyd Mayweather's schizo/pussy gossip tryin to find a scape goat for not fighting Shane in his own wife, LOL

Gamo, you should know better I respect ya and everybody, but keep himself busy and make himself a draw for Floyd like Mayweather's a hot commodity? Get outa here! Shane can fight whoever he wants to, Floyd has nothing to do with it, the only thing binding them is that if Floyd doesn't fight him, it's good-bye WBC 147 pounds title and back again to emeritus status for "Philty Rich" Floyd. Even Oscar is getting in his way of fighting Hatton so that you can forget about intrigues putting Shane against Oscar or his own wife, my best regards to you Gamo and to Mick, Lol

Ok so maybe your right and Mosley's got this plan and everything. Meanwhile the clock is ticking, he is no longer considered the top welterweigh (even though he should be), other fighters are making big noise and big money and by the time PBF is done with Hatton there will be other guys which will be bigger money with slightly less risk (Cotto/Margarito) who will get Maywether's attention way before Mosley does. And what will he get for his patience....maybe another sparring sesion with DLH if he decides to do a rematch with Tito LOL. Ok ok, that wa a low blow....

Good posting, but I have to disagree with the last bit... Hatton isn't going to get the fight instead of Mosley because he did some trash talking, in fact I think that's way off. Hatton's going to get the fight because he can sell thousands upon thousands of tickets and generate a great deal of PPV buys. Mosley, for whatever reason, has never been a big draw... Now add to that the fact that Mosley is a FAR greater threat to Floyd at 147(imo at least), and it's a pretty clear cut decision for Mayweather to make.. Mosley would be better served in being more vocal, he should be calling Floyd out, but it still wouldn't make a difference because he isn't speaking to nearly the audience that Hatton is, despite being a better fighter , and undoubtedly a tougher matchup for PBf. Mosleys last fight against Collazo packed a fairly modest crowd and I doubt it sold many PPV's, and this was after ppl had a chance to see what Collazo brought, unlike when Hatton fought him and surely sold a great deal more tickets anyways.
-
Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
One reason why Mosley is quiet is that Cotto's team is looking for him in case Margarito losses his fight with Williams. May be after Margarito's fight we will start hearing from him again.
Cotto - Mosley would be a great fight!!!! Personally, I prefer this one over Cotto - Margarito.

I'm not surprice PBF is just wating for Mosley to be past his prime to fight him ( if he still fighting) he does that with boxers who had the chance to beat him.

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Shane needs to fight someone. He had Cintron in his sights but that fell through so he fought Collazo which was a good fight to take at the time. Thing is he's done nothing since to build on that momentum. He's not getting any younger & with all these other big fights going on he is being pushed further into the background.
He needs to get in there & soon IMO

Mosley should talk to Oscar to offer Hatton more $$ than PBf is offering and fight Hatton. Then If and only IF he wins ( witch I think he will) PBF would not have any option that fighting Mosley

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Mosely is getting old, I hope its just bad timing.Every top guy is busy, or lined up to fight. I wanna see him whoop up the welterweight division. IMO he's best at welter. Clottey is free and I'm sure he would take the fight, that would be a great fight.
-
Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Damn even Clottey is busy...hes gotta dip into the rankings to find a fight to stay fresh. IMO

Excellent read imo. Mosley is just wasting time waiting for Floyd,like Margarito did. For such a high profile,experienced guy,that's a silly mistake to make. He needs to stay active,keep fighting. These long delays coupled with his age are not going to help his cause and it's not as if he has been vocal at every oppertunity about fighting Floyd,I only remember once or twice after the Oscar fight,he mentioned it.
I'd like to see him fight the winner of the WW tournament.
I'm not surprice PBF is just wating for Mosley to be past his prime to fight him ( if he still fighting) he does that with boxers who had the chance to beat him.
You talking about the Hatton way.

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Hatton hant mentioned Mosely once...lol. He is a bit too big for Hatton if the fight was at welter. Mayweather hasnt said anything about Mosely either. He claims Mosely ducked him back at lightweight days so now he doesnt want to give him the fight. That sounds like even more reason to fight to me. Floyd should be looking to fight Mosely not Hatton.Everyone is coming out of the woodwork to fight Hatton, even Oscar.You gotta give Hattons management credit they have set him up nicely for the big money. The ball is in his court.

CC on Floyd those are my exact words.

Re: Despite All the Action, Shane Mosley is Outside Looking In
Dorfmeister,I disagree totally with your points. If Shane does nothing,Floyd won't fight him. And you act as if Shane is some big draw but the truth of the matter is he not a big draw at all. In fact,at this stage,I would go as far as to say Foyd is the bigger draw and Floyd being Floyd will call the shots.
You guys are right,I'd much much rather see Shane v Floyd than Hatton Floyd but Hatton's team has done their job,made him a name(of sorts) in America and he has a loyal fanbase who will come to watch him fight meaning more $$$ for Floyd.
Like I said earlier,Shane should fight,may be Cintron,then unify with the winner of the WW tournament and then call out Floyd.

Gamo, let's speak the truth between us, hermañito, everybody want a piece of that Floyd azz hell yeah but the guy still sucked on tiny tit May 5, Oscar got the big piece of the cake and downright dumped him on the rematch he so desperately wanted... Before that, Floyd made as much money with Tata Baldomir and with Zab as Shane made with Vargas twice... Now, Floyd wants Big Money fights and complains that Shane is not a big draw anymore, that Miguel is just a "lil good fighter", that Tony is not in "the same plateau" as him, c'mon... The guy doesn't want to fight and badmouthed some 140 pounder, once WBA welter Champ ( God knows how) to get away with it... What I'm saying is that Shane's options have nothing to do with Floyd or with that particular fight, if Floyd avoids Shane, he'll lose credibility among the boxing public and that loyal fanbase, not to speak of HBO, the Ring Magazine, the Commissions themselves. Let's come up to that, Shane vs Floyd will not happen then, Shane obviously goes after Cintron, Cotto or Tony/Williams but Floyd would be definitely out out of the equation... Puya has said it best, Floyd is just waiting for Shane to grow old fast overnight, well, Floyd is the one who actually got himself retired...
