The Aftermath of Mayweather vs Marquez
I didnt get the chance to watch all of Mayweather vs Marquez but I did see the post fight interview with Shane Mosley. My personal opinion is Shane should have let Mayweather do his post fight interview rather than stand in and interupt him. Shane Mosley has had many opportunities to fight Mayweather and theres even videos of Mayweather calling out Shane Mosley. Though I do think this is a fight that Mayweather needs this is also a fight that Mosley needs as well. I can tell you though Juan Manuel Marquez is a lightweight and really had no business in the ring with Mayweather it still looked like Floyd Mayweather Jr. was back. I'm thinking right now that it will be Mayweather vs Mosley next winter or spring but Mosley isnt doing himself any good by staying inactive and chasing after the big fights when he even offered a 70/30 pay cut to fight Manny Pacquiao and go down to 140 in desperation to get the megafight. A 70/30 cut is a major cut and honestly he can make the same money in that 70/30 fighting Andre Berto and more fighting a Joshua Clottey which is a fight that was cancelled. Shane Mosley can stop acting like nobody is willing to fight him because there are a lot of names out there that have called him out and said they would fight him but he refused. I hate to admit it but Shane Mosley does not bring in the same money that Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, and Floyd Mayweather bring to the table. Mosley may think he brings money to the table for these fighters but in actuality he doesnt draw as much as he thinks. In his matchup with Ricardo Mayorga there were many empty seats in the arena, in his matchup with Antonio Margario people were booing him so what does that say about Mosley being a draw? Dont get me wrong Shane Mosley is a great fighter he dominated the lightweight division, and became a welterweight champion twice but, when you think about it he has 5 losses all to great fighters and even a loss to a man that Mayweather may fight depending on if he wins or not November 14th who is Miguel Cotto. Right now is put up or shut up for Floyd Mayweather Jr. right now he has to take this fight with Mosley it will lead up to a matchup with the winner of Pacquiao vs Cotto. Honestly if Mosley wants to prove something so bad he can fight Juan Manuel Marquez make the 144 pound limit and knock him out. I got a feeling this fight is gonna happen now and im gonna say congrats to Money Mayweather on the victory and lets hope Mosley vs Mayweather happens in 2010
