He said this is it. I still doubt it. But he's saying that Mosley had his opportunity to fight him and that he's been ducking him since 98. Now I am a huge Floyd fan but he's begging for too much attention. If he beats DLH his pride will not let him turn down a Mosley fight in the latter part of the year.
judah is faster than mosley at 147, also he werent beating pbf for 4 rounds the first round was a 10/10 and 2,3,4 were feel out rounds by both judah hitting gloves
you talk shit
i don't even know why we respond to people like that, you know? i agree that rounds 2,3 and 4 were close rounds. judah just looked more active at times but if you look at the compubox numbers, the punch output of both fighters were close, and people seem to forget that i think in rd 2 that floyd buckled judah and zab almost fell when he threw a jab at floyd and floyd countered with a vicious jab to the side of judah's head, and zab's knees buckled. yes, zab with knock down floyd(well, made in stumble, but floyd was a little off balance to begin with, but it was a knockdown in boxing terms but floyd's glove touched the canvas and that's it). shane had some issue with callazo last night and shane did do a great job with him but for the jackass you responded to, to comment that shane would dominate floyd knows little to nothing about boxing. he's a big dumby to believe what he believes so just let him think what he wants because true boxing fans who actually know the sport know shnae would never dominate floyd mayweather, just no way in hell. floyd would beat shane if they fought. floyd's a smarter fighter. shane is more powerful but that's it. yes, he's fast but he cannot put his punches together better than floyd and he knows that.
But is that any reason NOT to fight them? Cus seriously, if they don't want the fight at one point does not mean they never want the fight, it'll do nothing but good for Mayweather to take these fights.
you sound silly in this comment. that's not a reason not to fight him? then what is a better reason not to fight? i can't think of one except death but maybe that's pushing it a little far. bottom line, moslet turned floyd down, whether it was ducking or whatever he turned him down. then oscar claimed that if floyd fought shane in february of this year, then he would not have fought floyd. i mean golden boy promotions think they own boxing or something. they like to contradict themselves a lot.
If Floyd beat DLH,Hatton,Mosely, and Cotto, he could be one of the greatest of all time P4P.
I agree if he could beat these kind of guys i would certainly look at PBF in a better light then i do already. And if he truly wants to be great, what excuse has he got for not boxing these kinda guys. If he doesnt box these kinda guys PBF will just be another in a long line of very good boxers to come and go. Its like a production line and theres plenty of PBFs down the line, the sport of boxing always produces them. PBF has to do something that will stand out. And its within his grasp - but he has to want it badly. True greatness cant be and wont be given to you on a platter. You have to go out and get it yourself and not allow your critics to make excuses for you not being great.
If PBF doesnt clean up these kinda guys, PBF certainly will be giving ammunition for his critics to deny him true greatness.
Shane at 147 is a beast. Floyd was getting beat during those first 4 rounds with Judah. He can't deal with someone who is faster than him. Shane is way better than Judah and he'll dominate and make Floyd look slow and frustrated. Floyd will not have enough rounds to figure out a way to beat him. Shane by dominant UD or brutal KO anytime during the fight.
OMFG...
Mosley leaves himself open more than Judah does, Mosley is not faster than Mayweather, he just happens to look like hes doing more, but hes not faster than him by any means. If Floyd couldnt handle someone whos faster than him because he lost 4 rounds to Judah, and beat him for another 8 rounds, then i dont know what your definition of winning/losing a fight must be.
Dominant UD...Brutal KO? This sounds like wishful thinking. The wish factor definately sets in for some people talking out of their ass.
Mosley knew that Floyd was more than likely going to fight De La Hoya. So I believe it is a strategy and a good move on his part to catch him after the DLH fight. Trust Mosley isn't scared to fight anyone. He is one of the only fighters who goes hard all twelve rounds. Despite his age he has looked spectacular in his last three fights due to his great preparation. It is not hard to belive that if he fights Mayweather he could very well give him a run for his money. His speed was still impressive last night against a 25 year old.
Why does this boxer keep talking about retirement. Dont he like boxing or something? Then he says its his last match in America but not worldwide. Stop talking dude and just do what your quite good at and that is box.
If he retired he would be remembered as a great boxer, but the history of boxing is so long there have been many great boxers who have acheived more than Mayweather and having many more matches than Mayweather. Mayweather will be somewhere down that line for what he has achieved. PBF has set high standards for himself, proclaiming himself to be better than a lot of great boxers, so if PBf retires he will have underachieved as a boxer.
Team Hatton haven't mentioned Floyd's claims for the proposed fight. The only person divulging the numbers thrown around is Floyd, which is really unpleasant and underhanded.
All boxers are being ducked at all times by Sin and others' retarded reasoning. Offers are made daily by managements of all fighters. The figures stated are often bullshit, and the whole posturing and claims of ducking are like WWE wrestling.
Tell you what SIn. Any fighter who hasn't faced EVERY fighter in a weight class is a coward.
Boxing is business. Many factors define the matchups. Very few fighters these days face 'All Comers' these days due to the infrequency of fights.
Time judges all boxers dispassionately. No boxer (including Floyd) will be able to present the argument of 'everyone avoided me throughout my career' as a reason for not taking on the best. It just rings hollow. 'It's everybody elses fault' is the most deluded phrase in the english language.
But that being said, Floyd isn't a coward. He's a businessman protecting his reputation and 'PBF' brand.
The problem will be that we can't define his career retrospectively by comparing him with the best of his generation cause he'll only have faced a few of them early on and finished with a good fight (I hope) against DLH.
He could do wonderful things after DLH win or lose. It's sad that he probably won't.
Business!
I strongly believe that Mosley just wanted time to spend with his family. Mayweather says Mosley dodged him when he was young, but back then that fight wouldnt have made Mosley any money. Mayweather contradicts himself so much its sad. Very sad.
if floyd is saying he dodged him when he was young, and your saying that fight wouldnt have made mosley any money, your basically awknowledging that Mosley dodged him, thus your proving mayweathers point, which in turn isnt a contradiction.
If Floyd wins, and he has Mosley waiting at 147 for him then why not take the fight? Wouldnt he be contradicting himself? Its not like Mosley said he needed time off and took another fight. If anything he was smart. Look how fresh he looked.

Even if the fight between him and Mosley were to happen Floyd would still be in his prime. He would still be younger and quicker than Mosley with the better defensive skill. I don't think Mosley is scared at all he has taken tough fights his whole career. And has been exceptionally gracious in defeat. He fought Winky twice knowing damn well he couldn't get past that jab. His determination shouldn't at all be undermined. Plus he has a head of stone man can Mosley take a punch.
Who mentioned him chasing them? Mosley and Hatton are saying they want the fight, forget Margarito because he's going to get murdered by Cotto soon anyway, but it'll soon be Hatton and Mosley that are chasing down Mayweather.
These fights could make or break him, if he beats all 3 he's one of the greatest of all time and has proved a huge audience wrong, if he doesn't there's a huge question mark over his entire career.
I think at this stage in Mayweathers career, these fights only elevate him further, hes beaten too many champions and is now THE champion at his 3rd weight class and a win against DLH will have made him a beltholder in 5 divisions.
Make or break is the wrong term, hes too established for that.
Mosley and Hatton saying they want the fight and taking the fight are two different things, thats like "lets wait until Mayweather shows somemore vunerability before i fight him so i feel confident that i can win"
if you arent ready to take on the p4p number 1 when the shot is offered to you, then i dont know what to tell you as a fighter.
Hatton has been saying he wants Mayweather since the Tsyzu fight, but when the fight is offered he turns it down. Mosley turns the fight down and then once Mayweather signs to fight DLH and says he's going to retire, all of a sudden he wants the fight?
If these guys really wanted to fight, they would have signed when they had the chance. I just find it stupid that they act like they are going to step up now that Mayweather says he's going to retire...
didn't Hatton turn it down because they couldn't come to an agreement on terms and money?
it like Tyson vs Holyfield where Holyfield wanted to fight Tyson for long time and when he did he knew how.
same with Mayweather vs DHL and Mosely he was following them for long time i think he could beat them because he is obesed with beating them
That's Mayweathers excuse to not fight nearly everybody, "He was offered the fight, he turned it down, I won't fight him".
....but he DID turn it down as told by the announcers, what do you want him to say?
I think Mayweather is scared of Mosley.. Why would he say this week that Mosley didn't want to fight him and hes been wanting to then all the sudden say no he had his chance Oscar is my last fight?.... BULLSHIT!!! Floyds a bitch. I haven't seen the Collazo Mosley fight yet but he probably saw that and saw that Mosley still has fight in him and doesn't want none of that!
....thats ridiculous, why would Mayweather be scared of Mosley when he vigourously purused him AFTER the KO of Vargas and had been trying to get a fight with him before that. Mosley comes at you and leaves himself open to all kinds of mistakes that Mayweather would exploit, dont be foolish.
