Tried to come up with a less insulting headline, but really ? if you picked ?Sugar? Shane Mosley (W 46, L 5) to beat Floyd ?Money? Mayweather (W 40, L 0) on Saturday, May 1st 2010, well ? you?re an idiot.
Don?t get me wrong; I can see where you?re coming from. Mosley is one of the fastest opponents that Mayweather?s ever faced, absolutely, AND ? one of the most skilled. You can make the argument that this is Floyd?s toughest opponent to date. Absolutely.
Shane has fought the better opposition too ? even in his losses to Vernon Forrest, Winky Wright and Miguel Cotto you could see that Shane is a great fighter, and doesn?t duck anybody. Look at some of his greatest wins ? he fought and beat Oscar De La Hoya (way before Oscar?s skills diminished). Fought and beat the tough and nasty Fernando Vargas, and recently put such a beating on Antonio Margarito that you can even say that Mosley is at the tip-top of his game.
Absolutely. I agree ? but you?re still an idiot.
Every time Floyd fights the whining and incessant bitching starts ? how this is Floyds toughest fight, how Floyd hasn?t fought anyone of note, how Floyd?s a chicken and ducks everyone ? every fight is going to be the fight that Floyd finally gets his block knocked off.
It ain?t gonna happen.
Here are the top 2 items you morons always bring up as to why Mayweather will lose against Mosley: Moron #1: ?Floyd ain?t fought nobody?
This is so frustrating, simple, but frustrating – look at Floyd?s resume for names ? here?s just couple, let me know if any of them sound familiar:
Emanuel Augustus, Diego “Chico” Corrales, Jesus Chavez, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and Juan Manuel Marquez.
These are all top fighters, and as we have seen, have given us boxing fans some of the best fights we?ve ever watched. So ? to say Mayweather hasn?t fought anyone is the stupidest thing that keeps getting said over and over and over again ? and is in part why you?re such an idiot.
Moron #2: ?Floyd?s never faced power, speed or pressure like Shane has and that Shane will be bringin? to him on May 1st?
So ? we?re rewriting history now? ? Chavez, Castillo, and De La Hoya have no power? Zab Judah wasn?t fast? ? Could Corrales, Gatti, Hatton or Marquez fight any other way but forward?
It?s ridiculous to say that Mayweather hasn?t fought anybody or that he?s never faced, and conquered, these types of attributes and skills before. It?s just not true. He has and he will. That?s what he does.
40 WINS and ZERO losses ? that?s what Floyd does.
Again, I understand where you?re coming from. ?Sugar? Shane Mosley is an amazing athlete, very talented, fast, and well conditioned mentally and physically. Absolutely.
But you?re overlooking one incredibly obvious and important thing, the one palpable piece of the puzzle that you?re neglecting that makes you an idiot.
He?s fighting Floyd Mayweather.
Floyd Mayweather is simply more than what boxing can contain ? Mayweather is a pugilistic poet, an artist and a composer in the ring. He is, without a doubt, this generations Mozart. He is extraordinarily talented and supernaturally gifted in his craft. It is remarkable how much of a phenomenon he is in his uncanny ability to adapt, learn, adjust, and be victorious no matter what is thrown at him.
Floyd Mayweather cannot be beaten.
Lastly ? I hope it?s understood that I?m joking around about calling anyone who picked Shane to win and idiot. If I?ve offended anyone ? well ? you?re an idiot. Absolutely.
