Shane should definatly fight Floyd now. This is what Floyd was waiting for while everyone has been ripping him. A fight between those 2 would be huge right now. Im sure Floyd can make 8mil in that fight and get way more fame. This fight is also much harder for Floyd then Margarito so I still dont get why everyone is ripping Floyd for trying to get this fight.
Shane wants to come down to 147 because thats where all the money's at and thats where he says he feels more comfortable but I disagree. These last couple of fights are the best Shane has looked in a long time.
Sure he could go back down to 147 and look even better because he will be better at everything at that weight but you have to be skepitical because last time he went back down to 147 he looked like garbage.
If he fights Floyd right now at 154 then everyone would favor him and then he can move right down to 147. I would take this fight because he might not ever get a bigger fight then this and Floyd might lose to Oscar by time Shane is ready to fight him. If Shane does go down to 147 and look great, then what? No one's going to fight him except for Margarito and there wont be alot of money in that fight. You know that Hatton & Cotto will stay away from him.
This fight is big right now and I would love to see it. Who do you guys think wins at 154 and who do you think wins at 147? I actually do want to see him at 147 so I wont be upset if he doesnt fight Floyd but I would still love to see it. He didnt look good last time but maybe he's just starting to get his skills back and will be a beast down there again. If he is then that division will be super exciting.
Why everytime one off the top guys around these weights wins a bout example Hatton,cotto,Shane,Oscar,castillo we start the VS MAYWEATHER thread their old lol, we should start thinking about Hatton Vs Cotto, Shane vs Oscar another awesome bout for 2 guys going out, mayweathers stalling at the moment he needs to make his mind up who he wants to face,
Best bouts out their
Hatton Vs Castillo or Cotto
Oscar vs Shane
Thats easy. We talk about Floyd because unless its Castillo then the others wont fight Shane anytime soon. No way Cotto, Gatti, or Hatton steps in the ring with Shane unless they think he looks bad again
Best bouts out their
Hatton Vs Castillo or Cotto
Oscar vs Shane
oscar vs shane is nothing close to shane-mayweather.
but i think mayweather will play his cards right. he would rather face oscar first, for money... and face shane next as an icing to his cake. but it's easier said than done. i think oscar and shane got their second wind after their previous fights and still shown that they still have the better potential of handing floyd's first defeat.

Sorry but I couldn't care less for an Oscar / Shane trilogy.

This is what a writer wrote after the fight and what Shane said:
Meanwhile, Mosley has positioned himself for a major fight in the near future – and marquee names like Floyd Mayweather Jr. have been mentioned, as the undefeated defensive whiz that many consider to be the best fighter on the planet is looking for an opponent for November pay-per-view date.
“I will begin to train in November,” Mosley said, basically pooh-poohing the prospect of his fighting Mayweather this fall. “ Margarito is out there waiting for Floyd, so they should fight each other and I could fight the winner next year.”
no matter how much shit floyd talks he knows he doesnt want this fight. that is all there is to it. he would never ever dare step into the ring with shane. would you take a fight you knew you couldnt win?
Oh yeah, Floyd cant win :rolleyes:
He's only the #1 rated fighter in the world and Shane has already lost twice to Forrest, twice to Winky, and one real time to Oscar but he obviously is unbeatable :rolleyes:
What are you last 2 guys talking about? Why does Floyd get treated so different then everyone else?
He calls out guys forever but yet people end up saying that he's running from them.
Floyd the whole time has said he wanted a Mosley fight and Shane is the guy saying that he wont fight Floyd now and needs 2 more fights at 147 first. He has said it many times on TV and in articles but yet people try to act like Floyd doesnt want the fight? Its a joke. Everyone knows Floyd wants this fight.
The only problem would be money. Shane would probally want 50/50 and Floyd will probally think that Shane doesnt deserve that just because of the 2 wins over a way past his prime Vargas. I think he still may would give Shane 50/50 but then the problem would be is if he would make the 8 mil that Margarito is offering if he gives Shane 50/50. If he doesnt make 8 mil then I think he will take the Margarito fight.

Not too take anything away from Mosely because he is a class act and a very nice guy but he beat a Vargas tonight that is clearly not the same fighter as he once was. A Mayweather/Mosely fight though would be intresting. Mosely has the perfect style to beat Floyd. I would favor Mosely in this fight and I doubt it would happen anyways cuz Mayweather jr dont want any part of Shane. Shane's speed is definately still there.
i have always thought this and tonight just reaffirms it. mosley is way way too much for fraud. mayweather wouldnt dare fight mosley. why would he risk losing to a guy that held the p4p title years before him? mosley would win and floyd would be finally exposed for the joke that he is.
There isn't enough money in a spinks fight right now, plus it is at 154. Why would pbf go up to 154 to fight spinks? pbf is a welterweight. If baldomir gets by gatti that setsup a ppv fight for the lineal welterwight title, something that shane will want and golden boy can promote when the fight happens. You guys keep jumping the gun. if baldomir beats gatti thats two hofer in two fights this fight will draw at a minimum 400,000 ppvs.
The question is will mosley fight in november? :confused:
he said it was a slight possibility meaning pbf will have to offer him 50/50 purse split, even than it is questionable. I think shane tries to fight the winner of hattton urkal to have a belt too before stepping in the ring with pbf. You have to admit baldomir though unknown has been much more impressive then margarito.You think a Baldy fight is PPV just because he has a belt? No one's going to pay for that shit. Spinks fight isnt Margarito money but its much more then what a Baldy fight would be. No one knows Baldy and the people that do know him hate him.
You say a Spinks fight is at 154 but Floyd doesnt care about that. He's going to 154 to fight Oscar anyway. This could help him get adjusted to the weight and he could win a title which would help him at the bargining table. He probally would also fight Shane at 154 if Shane insisted on it. I think your the only guy Ive heard that is interested in a Floyd-Baldy fight. No one in the world would put that fight on PPV and no one would buy it if it was. Im pretty sure its Margarito but Spinks is just the backup plan.
Also who were you talking about when you said 2 HOFers? I hope your not talking about Zab and Gatti because neither of them are HOFers
There are two paths to the match between Pbf and shane. first:
1. baldomir wins you have pbf vs baldomir in nov. This will setup a mosley vs hatton fight in march or april of next year for the wba title.
2. gatti wins you have gatti vacating the title rather than fight the #1 contender who is pbf. This sets up a pbf vs paul williams match since paul would become #1 contender after floyd.
bottomline pbf vs mosley will be explosive and a legendary matchup against to of the best in the division.
mosley will need 1-2 fights to get acclimated to the weight but he better not wait too long. :boxing:No way I see Floyd fighting Baldy. He wants a big money PPV fight and he will get neither with Baldy. He has already said that his next fight will be for atleast the 8 mil Margarito was offering.
I dont think he fights anyone now but either Margarito or Spinks.
What Shane needs to do is fight him now.He aint getting any younger.By the way, wasnt Floyd gonna fight DLH at 154?
Yes but after Oscar said he wouldnt fight again until next May then Floyd wanted Mosley. Everyone was ripping Floyd for not jumping on the Margarito fight but he thought a Mosley fight was much bigger and he couldve possibly made even more money and definatly got more fame from it
I think Floyd/Shane would be a great fight......Mosley has his confidence back and is looking sharp.......Floyd could never hurt Mosley IMO and that would make for a great fight at 147 for both guys.I give Mosley a very good shot at beating him after what I saw tonight too. :boxing:
This fight has to happen now.I was gonna post this about an encounter between the 2.Mayweather wants to fight the big boys by moving up, well u have one here, one that beat DLH at 147, his best weight.Mayweather needs to take this fight and quit waiting on DLH!What are you talking about? All Floyd has been talking about is fighting Shane but Shane doesnt want it right now. He says he's going back down to 147 and he needs a couple of fights before he fights Floyd

Shane would love a Gatti fight but Gatti is just like Hatton & Cotto. None of them are going anywhere near Shane until they see him look like garbage again
