Brian Kenny gets reaction from Shane Mosley

[OumaFan]

All this stuff going through Kenny is stupid. Mosley was more keen on getting the Hatton-Pacquiao winner than Floyd, and now that looks like it may not happen is a bit pissed off (understandably with this 142 nonsense) lookin like he's not got many places to go. Shane & Floyd are my two favourite boxers & it would be a great fight, but from a boxing perspective, I would like to see Shane fight the winner of Cotto-Clottey, and Floyd fight Pacquiao (should he beat JMM) and then the winners of those fights go for each other.

Hmm, how come?

Seems like its been good for boxing to me, there are times when ESPN seems to care more about the WNBA or bowling than boxing. Yet its been all over the place lately.

The period since the Hatton-Pacquaio fight has seen more mainstream coverage of boxing than there has been for a long time here. Great little moment for boxing. Just need to ride it out, keep making big fights with the stars of the sport.

And Brian Kenny becoming sort of a go to guy for boxing and boxing interviews on ESPN is great for the sport.

Mosley should at least try and stay busy. Might end up nearly being a year since beating Margarito before he gets in the ring again. I hate it when boxers become inactive. He's getting old too.

I just don't like Brian Kenny, although thinking about it I don't like most boxing broadcasters or writers. I also found the Mosley interview a bit cringeworthy because Shane didn't seem a natural at the trash talk & looked like he was reading off some cue cards just below the camera. He also should have pushed him the same way he did Floyd, such as asking him why he's turned down a fight with Williams.

I suppose I didn't think about it being better for boxing in the long-term, that's a good point, although I think this period will only last as long as PBF & Manny are around, as they're the only 2 internationally recognizable stars that the sport currently has (guys like Shane, JMM & Cotto being slightly on the periphery of that). Would like in a way to see more crossroads fights with guys like Ortiz, Williams, Berto getting a shot at the top guys now to try create more future stars
