No longer wish to see

Yup. This sport aint kind to the warriors. Fans love it, but the warriors pay a price for us to enjoy it.

Shane was a warrior in there tonight, and the 2nd round was proof of that. But from the start of the 3rd, it was not the same fighter any more. He was already gassed, and while Floyd was adjusting, his years and past battles surfaced. he had little more to give. He was coming forward now and not throwing. what? Better yet...why? He just about took PBF out with it, why oh why? Because there wasn't anything left. It's that simple. He gave all he had and was not prepared for a man in the peak of his life, and on top of the sport. 5 years ago, who knows. We'll never know.

but much respect to Shane Mosley for giving it all he had in there tonite. And when all was said and done, he was just trying to make it thru and be standing for us for the final curtain call. And that he did. And got beat by the better man tonight.

He made a good paycheck tonight, and gave us all a lot of great memories and footage to think about for years to come. But time to bow out gracefully. I thank you Shane Mosley, for doing all you could. Now go gently into that good night.

Mosley is still a top 10 welter. It's the interview and word slurring that bothered me. Early warning sign. If I would see him in person i would tell him straight out to his face. "You need to retire champ. It's over". Shane is one of them fighters I would hate to see end up like Meldrick Taylor. Ricky Hatton? Edison Miranda? I could care less. Hell I would tell Hatton to his face he still got it and can easily win a title at 168. To give it a go. "What they say you slurring your words Ricky? Nah man. They hating on you. Don't listen to them. You just tired from eating so much. You the man. Chad Dawson ain't got nothing on you. Go get him champ".

I hope this is Mosley's last fight, also. Props to him for having a great career. I guess it's better he ended it with PBF instead of getting into a slugfest with Manny Pac.
