dude plz he didn't even go all out against the man in front of him in Marquez, don't get me wrong, another masterful display of boxing, but at times where he could have easily followed up and landed 2 or 3 more shots and possibly hurt Marquez he chose to fight safety first, IMO Mayweather beats Pacquiao easy, but Mosley is a different story altogether, and your little Hopkins rant, he also jumped up 2 divisions and beat the shit out of the guy who was the man at that weight class too
From what i saw, Mosley had no intention of insulting Mayweather. Apart from gate crashing Floyds intervirew... Which, due to Floyds plain arrogance, was going nowhere... (Floyd was more interested in thatnking god, and his sponsorsthan answering some real questions) Mosley was pretty respectfull untill Hopkins started hurling abuse over Mosley's shoulder at Mayweather.
Thats when it all got a bit ''Ay, dont be disrespecting me man''.
Mosley was trying to plead with Mayweather, like '' naw man, it aint like that, i just want a shot baby''.
Kinda desperate, but not disrespectfull IMO.
It did make me laugh when Mayweather said '' i don't interuppt your interviews huh?'' I screamed at the TV ''yeah you would of looked a bit of a pratt gate crashing little Marquez' last fight to call him out''

Sorry JT, but the fan boy in you got the better of you. Your wrong.

Floyd is the most classless braggart in the game. Yeah it was kind of rude of Mosley and Hopkins....but what goes around comes around.

I don't think Mosley did anything wrong...and really the way Floyd has acted in the past, I wouldn't blame anyone for treating him like a dirtbag anyway

In no way do i like the person that is Floyd Mayweather, but the way Mosley and Hopkins acted last night, brought themselves down in the world's eyes.
Lowest of the low.
The two of them are both boxing's 'has-beens', that's why they're resorting to tactics like that.
Eyes of the world. Are you serious?
I wonder why someone who has been registered here since 2007 has only posted twice and the above crap is one of them.
Mosley did nothing wrong. Hopkins shouldn't have been running his mouth and Kellerman should have man'ed up and told him to butt out.
Floyd is a braggard and cherry picker. Mosley is a nice guy since he came off those steroids.
I find it funny that he got his lunch handed to him, just after coming off steroids, by the late great Forrest.
OH! I thought that cream was legal?
Me and Vargas were hanging out together one day outside of BALCO and some guy came out and told us of some new vitamins his company were working on and would we like to try them.
Heck, we didn't know they were steroids! We thought they were new B vitamins.
Sorry, I have no respect for guys that get wins by using drugs.
Sorry, I just dont consider Mosley credible anymore. This brings me back to Panama Lewis and Arron Pryor. TWo of the biggest scumbags to ever grace the boxing world outside of King.(The king of all scumbags.)
Two of Panamas victims ended up committing suicide. Yes I know very indirectly. But think of how different their lives would have been. Maybe Alexis would not have suicided with four titles in four weight classes. And maybe Collins would have achieved stardom instead of a suicidal crash.
I heard about it but didn't get to see it. It does sound unlike Shane to do this I am very shocked. In a way I am happy. But this fight would be good for us boxing fans. All I do know is from interviews with ESPN Shane has called Mayweather out for the past few years and it seems Floyd is so quick to jump all over people of certain categories. Meaning look at Hatton he immediately called Floyd out after beating Castillo and then in a blink of an eye the fight was made. Again with Marquez calling him out after beating Diaz he comes out of retirement to fight the smaller man. My question is why not Mosley ? Since Mayweather really didn't get harmed in the Marquez fight why not fight Mosley by the end of the year or the beginning of next year.
Just watched the fight again and i'm curious as to what exactly did shane do? Floyd seemed to wave shane over when Max said about him and it was Hopkins who started shouting and sticking his head in, i didn't hear Shane do or say anything really?
I don't blame Mosley at all. Kellerman was the one who pointed the microphone in his face and allowed him to talk to Floyd. The real problem was Bernard Hopkins. He was the one who instigated and escalated the scenario during the interview. For a minute I felt bad for Mayweather, because this was his time to basque in the glow of his one sided victory over a cherry-picked opponent. But only for a minute. Before the brouhaha, Floyd was in typical form, evading questions like he evades punches and then getting on Kellerman for asking the questions he was expected to. Kellerman was just doing his job, asking questions about the weight issue. The best part was when Floyd spent the first three minutes thanking God, his family, and his sponsors. Then he says he just wants to talk about his victory. Then he says he doesn't want to talk about money!! What a contradictory fool!!
So, I don't have sympathy for Floyd. When you talk a lot of shit and spend your life showing little class, it eventually comes back to bite you.
Hopkins cracks me up, a guy approaching late middle age with such a chip on his shoulder. I saw it the same way purtyboy saw it, thought Shane was always trying to defuse it. I have no problems with scenes like this, it's entertaining and might actually lead to a great match up. Don't think it was planned either judging by Floyds reactions.
And can we please stop all the BS that Floyd is a small Welterweight after his weigh in, unless we're gonna invent a new 'Floyd' class at 146 where all the 'big' bullies can't get him.
Anyone know what he actuallly weighed once the bell rang?
