Now personally i think Shane was told to take a back seat by Oscar, because Shane was not the dodging type. But what i hate is when people like Fischer and a lot of others say Floyd dodged Mosley until he was washed up. That much is absolute BS. Shane played his part in "avoiding" the fight because he was working for Golden Boy and Oscar was priming that big fight with Floyd in 07. I'm not sure if i've made sense there ha, but hopefully you get the drift. Freitas and Kosta? Floyd was calling Freitas out from 99-01 and then he moved up to fight Castillo at 135 whlie Freitas beat Casamayor at 130. After he beat Casamayor he didnt move up until 2004 and there didnt seem to be much of an interest in the Floyd fight from either side. Its one of those weird things that people seem to remember it as a fight that the public were screaming for when in fact they weren't really interested, but were more interested in the Corrales, Castillo and Gatti fights. Kosta was just a disaster to get a fight with, by the time it was looking like getting them both in the ring together Kosta signed up to fight Hatton, and Floyd got his first PPV fight against Gatti. And the rest is history. Floyd wanted Kosta badly though because Kosta beat his uncle Roger back in the mid 90s. You're testing my old memory here ha, there could be a **** ton i'm getting wrong!

The only time I've ever really found him to be biased is when he's explaining away ringtvs/Golden Boy Promotion's (who own the mag) special treatment of Canelo. It's a tough job to do in fairness. He also seems to always pick against the contemporary fighter when it comes to mythical match-ups as well! Cheers!

Paulie should have known that every circus needs a clown... unfortunately

Personally I thought Paulie spoke a lot of sense, seems the Mc Gregor camp and fans didn't take too kindly to this. Paulie has now said he schooled him, which, if true, and most boxing fans will say is likely, a fat and unfit Paulie frustrates Mc Gregor, then what chance against fit mayweather?
blade1 wrote: » Yeah but as of now it's all a case of he said,she said. I'm not a McGregor fan and rarely watch a UFC fight but it seems to me on here (and I know it's a boxing forum) that the boxing fans are more then willing to believe anything negative that's said about McGregor without proof. I'll be watching it for the spectacle that it is, and I won't be surprised if there's a twist in the end of the tale.

You aren't going to train like that when you have absolutely no chance at all. Anyone who knows anything about boxing knows this. The whole Paulie thing is just a publicity stunt, the sparring is probably a joke. A professional boxer is never going to get beat up by a person who has never boxed a professional bout in his life. It's beyond a joke at how many people actually believe this nonsense.
