Mosley was a throwback. He always looked like a fighter from the 40's or 50's. Dragged Cotto into the deep water. Tough old warrior.

You wouldn't know it by listening to these two jackals calling the fight. "And a hard right overhand shot by Mosely that...hurts Mosely! Man, Cotto's awesome the way he can attack Mosely's fists with the side of his head! Cotto young strong bull! Mosely's mouth is open! His lungs are on fire!

And then there's guys like Paul Williams and Sergio Martinez that were fighting at 147 to 154 at the time ..he flat out didn't fight them.. so yeah that's why people that watched him give Mayweather his respect but won't say he's the best of all time and put a Astrid next to his name

The only time i saw Shane give up was in the fight with Pacquiao. He suffered a knockdown (first time ever?) in rd 2 or something.

For you guys saying Shane was juicing... Shane never tested positive in his career. He admitted that the took EPO one time for the De La Hoya rematch but that it was not intentional (which is BS). But his fights were tested rigorously after that and he didn't juice. He beat Vargas, Collazo, Margarito and almost Cotto after that.

Watch this video, it will take you 1:10 to see the truth with your own eyes. Just google this; 'Did Floyd Mayweather get caught using PED's'? This isn't an opinion, watch the video and see Floyd snorting dope from 2 separate bottles in his dressing room just before a fight. I've seen 2 such videos in which Floyd does the exact same thing, snorts dope before going to the ring to fight. That means he must have snorted dope before every fight. Absolute proof you can see with your own eyes, not talking shit and slandering a man because Floyd's lying ass was afraid to fight Pacquiao. Do you have one minute spare time to see the truth, or will you continue smearing Paquiao's name based upon the coward Floyd's bullshit lies? I'll bet you're scared yourself, afraid to see your boy snorting dope before a fight. Go ahead and take a look, stop being Floyd's mouthpiece and ruining your name in the process.
