"Sugar" Shane Mosley retires!

[captainanddew]

he stayed too damn long.

He still sounded okay around the time that he fought Margarito (didn't sound as well as he did when he was in his 20s but sounded okay).

After fighting Mayweather, Mora, Pac, and Canelo and taking 3 beatings, he sounds horrible.

Before the Canelo fight, Dougie Fisher of Ring said Mosley couldn't pronounce WBC. When Shane tried to say it, it came out sounding like ABC.

Shane used to be pretty quick when he was asked a question. His post fight interviews in the last couple fights were painful. He is very deliberate. He takes time to compose his thoughts that he didn't need before.

Very sad.....

I enjoyed Shane's career. He was absolutely great at 135, very good at 147, so so at 154. He will be missed, but like many fighters, he stayed too long and may have done some long-term damage to himself.

Winky Wright retired today too. Both at 40.

Yeah, I saw that too. Two surefire future HOF'ers that were good for the sport. Not only for their excellent careers, but for the classy way they carried themselves in and out of the ring.

Dela Hoya was winning fight I until Mosley turned south paw that totally befuddled Oscar.


That was his greatest trick aside from the Margarito KO.

He was well liked and did the right thing by retiring and we'll all miss him. He fought the who's,who of boxing and The Hall of Fame is getting a spot ready for him.
