"Sugar" Shane Mosley retires!

[Tam Seddon]

Best option for Sugar Shane, happy retirement champ, well deserved, Knocking out margarito has to be one of my favourite Shane mosley mommemts.

It's good to see him finally see sense. His recent showings have been very poor. The Mora fight should have been the final warning that he couldn't pull the trigger.

I am glad because i thought he would have to carry on fighting because of his divorce.

[Manos de Piedra]

That's good to hear. Now I hope to hear the same for Roy and Holyfield soon.

[roberto duran legend]

Live long and prosper champ.

I's a good choice for Shane, he's been on the slide for quite some time. I would still love for him to fight Berto or Ortiz just because I think the styles match up well. As always you want a guy like Shane to leave on a win, but I guess that's not going to be the case.

[TitoFan]

And call it a hunch... but something tells me that, unlike a lot of other high-profile fighters... Shane will not even consider a comeback after he's been gone a while. I know he's 40, but there's no shortage of 40-some year old fighters lately, including some that had retired and are trying to come back. Mosley will never make that mistake.

I was 18 and hanging around the basketball courts near my house and saw my friend walking home from the bus he took to get to the gym. (he was still going. I was saving bus fare and getting in tons of 'sparring' down at the basketball courts) Kidding around, I asked him if he was the best fighter in the gym yet. He said he was not, that the best boxer in the gym was a 9 year old kid, which made sense, since that 9 year old had been going to the gym to watch his dad train fighters for years. Followed Shane Mosley's career ever since.

[Althugz]

Good choice for Mosley. It could have been a lot worse and he could have gone on a lot longer. I'm glad he is seeing sense. It must be hard to quit something you love so much and admit that you're not what you once were. Respect to him for making the difficult but correct choice

[Kirkland Laing]

I've only ever seen one Trinidad fight and that makes me an expert on him to the extent I feel like I can bang on for fifteen pages about how shit he was. I watched a shot Roy Jones batter the fuck out of him so I don't have to watch another minute of Trinidad's career, he was obviously a great big pile of shite. I'll leave it to The Fenster to deal with the actual substantive arguments, I'm just going to keep pointing out how shit Trinidad was ad infinitum.

That's good to hear. Now I hope to hear the same for Roy and Holyfield soon.

Roy seems determined to die in the ring.

[JazzWolf]

Shane Mosley was the embodiment of courage in the ring. Every time I hear the word, I think Jesus and Sugar Shane Mosley. He never backed down and stood his ground against the overwhelming opposition of time, whether he was winning or losing.

The heart of a lion and the killer instinct of a panther, I salute thee.

[Master]

I am sure Fenster is winding you up Tito.

Shane was a great lightweight but never at welterweight. Mosley was good but Tito destroyed all at welterweight and light middle, where Shane was even less effective. Tito may have been put down but he had devastating power, whilst I believe Shane would have seen the score cards he would have lost the fight against Tito. Shane would try and box and move like Oscar did but would not be big and tall enough to execute the game plan that Bernard did at middleweight.

[Mr140]

I think Shane would of knocked him out i mean only seen shane hurt bad once and that was after a head butt and he still went on. I mean Shane did hell of a lot better against Oscar and Wright. I mean Tito depend a lot on his power and Shane about the hardest fucker to knock out and he hits like a truck. The only time Shane lost was mayeb he was out boxed but Tito could not do that in a million years. Tito was a good fighter but his best win was a gift and when he moved up to fight guys his own size he lost pretty clearly.
