"Sugar" Shane Mosley retires!

[Manos de Piedra]

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

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.

The 1 fight that should have been made in their primes was Shane Mosely vs Felix 'Tito' Trinidad....that would have been EPIC

[greynotsoold]

I think Shane still lives in Pomona, in the Ganesha Park area. There's a hill in the middle of the park, overlooking the LA County Fairgrounds, real nice homes, and he used to live there. The local 7-11, off the Ganesha exit of the 10 Freeway used to have dozens of autographed pictures.

Epic indeed. One of those mega-fights that should've been made.

[Fenster]

Mosley-Tito is pretty easy to call.

Tito's china-chin never survives a prime Mosley onslaught. Tito hit the deck about a hundred times. Kevin Lueshing, who was "lucky" to win a British title, dumped him on his arse and turned him into bambi on ice.

Mosley shatters Tito all day long. Fact.

[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

Roy jones jnr want to be te next Apollo creed
"if he dies he dies"

[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.

You have any thoughts of your own? Or do you get them from sucking on Fenster's dick?
No offense, of course.

[Fenster]

Yet again he fails to answer a single boxing related question posed by The Fenster and offers nothing but insults.

@TitoFan

Do you not agree that a fighter who has suffered numerous knock downs against B/C-grade opposition is potentially at greater risk against A-grade opposition? It's as simple as 2+2 = 4.

I am merely providing a standard mathematical structure that encompasses the laws of probability. Fact.

[TitoFan]

I answered. You don't want to listen.
When you're ready to have a serious debate without the bullshit, get back to me.
End of story.
