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
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?

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
