Sugar Shane Mosley announces retirement!

[SKULLSPLITTER]

I'm still trying to fully understand why Mosley glove tapped and ran away from Pacquiao for 12 full rounds....only to come forward, throw plenty of punches, and eat bombs all night long against a bigger, stronger fighter in Alvarez...

Hope he stays gone....over the course of 12 years, he went from my favorite fighter to a disgrace.

That's too bad! So was the manner he fought Manny in! Questions will be raised. That was a disgraceful fight the moment it was signed & the effort from Mosley also was a disgrace!!

He could have done that 2 times over but it doesn't come close to all the effort he put in the ring every single other time.

He didn't want to look like Oscar did after fighting Pac. The man is a freak.

Good luck Sugar Shane. He had a damn good career. It says a lot about how much folks respect his fighter's heart that only a few hold the steroids against him.

The fact that Mosley got caught juicing in the second fight w Oscar shows what kind of person Mosley was.

Nice one

I was more getting at his willingness to always take on the best to become the best! Declining an easier fight to take a much tougher, more meaningful fight for much, much less money is something you do not see in boxing!

Yup. Mosley has brass
Minerals for taking both Forrest and Wink on back to back after the shellackins.

if Canelo could hit like Pac then Mosley would have jumped out of the ring and threw the towel in for himself

I don't hold it against fighters too much who get busted cheating. I think boxing is a more even playing field than people may think.
That said, PED's give you a lot of edges though one thing it doesn't help you with is toughness and courage.

Hear that, but they DO help w stamina (DLH II).
