    If the fight was fixed.. it was fixed by Roach when he picked Mosely. Manny is a good fighter, but roach is a mastermind. He knows who his guy can beat handily. He chooses guys that are slow on the trigger or live in a shell because he know his guy can get in .. do the work and get out without taking much damage. Its part of the game, not a fix... Shane made weight, he was able to fight, he was probably ranked..and had no problem taking the money, he was fair game.
    All the touching gloves etc is what he does when he knows he's been bested and doesn't want to take too bad of a beating. See him shake hands with margarito, vargas, mayorga? Yeah me either, but he thumped on those guys pretty hard, didn't he? Its kind of sad to see a fighter reduced to that. You took the money, now take the beating or take the glory... Just my opinion.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Fixed? Mosley is 40 in a few months, his record in recent years is 8-7-1 with 1 NC, his glory days were well and truly past him. The best thing Mosley could have done was stay down after the knockdown, you could see it in his eyes when he was getting up, "what am i doing here?" The big loser in all of this is boxing and boxing fans who should be looking forward to Pac V Floyd 2 by now, yet we haven't even had a first fight! Let Shane Mosley retire with some dignity please.

    Shane one of my favorite fighters and has given a lot i mean at 40 its hard to keep fighting. When you look at Mosley last fights i don't know what everybody was expecting. I just hope Mosley can retire not end up like my favorite fighter Evander Holyfield that would be a sad day man.
