KOd a pretty decent to good fighter in Panama.
44 years old n won't hang em up.
Don't tell me he's broke.
He is broke, ego the size of his brain and trying to reclaim his youth. Mid life crisis.Quote:

I would selfishly rather he did not fight but fair dues the bloke, he still can fight at level at 44 that 99.9% of 24 year old pro boxers can only dream of.
I don't think he was ever the best fighter on the planet. He was fun in his prime though.
I think there was a strong argument to say he was from De La HoyaI to ForrestI; particularly as Jones Jr was going through an uninspiring run. But I understand these things are not going to be definitively answered.Quote:

He didn't get caught by boxing. He got caught when Balco went down. He was on the designer stuff.Quote:

Shane and Roy should take a long vacation and let youth have the floor.
I'm going to let you in on a lil secret...most top pro athletes take steroids and never get caught.Quote:

Well bully for those who don't get caught. Mosely wasn't so lucky or smart it seems.
Oscar was wearing women's underwear in that first fight, thus giving him a distinct advantage in both comfort and mobility.
Consequently, all bets are off as both were using unfair advantages.
I'm also pretty sure Mosley never did get caught, anyone aware of a drug test he failed? Ron is right, he was implicated when the Balco sting went down and he was on their list. The fact that he almost certainly was on serious roids for years and never failed a test sadly does just point out how easy it is in boxing, although in fairness those steroids were above and beyond most any testing at the time I think, a lot of olympic athletes managed to get away with it as well.
