[Replies: 331]
At the Wright-Williams weigh-in Sugar Shane said he wants to fight the winner of Pacquiao-Hatton. What do you think? Who should Mosley fight next?

Gun and Hit, you know that styles make fights. I gave up doing the comparative thing awhile ago. Mayorga somehow beat (late) Forrest twice; Mosley couldn't do anything with Forrest but KO'd Mayorga...Shane KO'd Vargas twice but Vargas "beat" Winky Wright who Shane could do nada with...Jermain Taylor "beat" Hopkins twice and lost to Pavlik twice, who got dominated by Hopkins....the list goes on and on...til the break-a-dawn...

Only thing you guys seem to agree on, whether it was intended or not, is that Luis Collazo is a tough out for anyone (except Mosley I guess lol).

Gun, what made Mosley look bad is that he struggled with a garbage fighter. Boxing fans change like the weather bro. He wasn't good enough to legitimize de la Hoya going into the Mayweather fight. But this same cat gave Mosley a tough fight two years later and people say he's tough to look good against. C'MON SON!!

Mayorga's not that good. He's just hard to look good against. He's got a hell of a beard too. Styles make fights. The end result is all that matters. Mayorga has been KO'd by Trinidad, Oscar and Mosley. That pretty much sums up his career right there.

De la Hoya looked pretty good against him two years prior to Mosley getting him. People said de la Hoya was washed up a year after the Mayorga fight when he fought Mayweather and he looked devastating against Mayorga. Did Mayorga get better in those two years between de la Hoya and Mosley?

And he was down on one card and ahead a point on another heading into the final round. You must not have seen the fight. Mosley looked like garbage that night.

Mosley is tentatively scheduled to fight Berto on on Jan 30. The WBC has issued a statement saying Mosley has to publically apologize to them for disregarding their title to fight Margarito fort he WBA strap. I think that's funny as hell. But for Mosley who's been publically embarrassing himself for the last several months, it should be a problem.

Do you think Pacquiao is on steroids?
Watching Pacquiao carry his power to the higher weight classes has me wondering is he is juicing. Being a personal trainer I know that it is very difficult to move up in weight and stay ripped. The Phillipines and Indosia are two of the biggest markets for steroids.
