May just told J. Lampley that he wishes Shane the best in his career. I guess he is not fighting Shane. That really shows that his critics are right, he is not fighting anyone that could beat him. LOL
MOSELY CALLED HIM OUT PERIOD,HES GONNA SAY THAT HE HAD HIS CHANCE ETC,ETC,ETC.OK I ADMIRE HIS SKILLS BUT THE GUY IS A BUISNESS MAN.IM JUST NOT DOWN WITHT THE CHERRY PICKING THO,HE ALSO CALLS HIMSELF THE BEST,THE BEST FIGHT THE BEST PERIOD AND UNTIL HE DOES THAT HE WILL BE JUST A BUISNESS MAN TO ME.:loser:
thats the sweet science of the duck master, boat buyer ....
duck all you want, why be defeated when it is possible not to ?
why fight welter when you can fight non welter and be a great welter fighter ?
LoL
Are you people are stupid or what?floyd will fight shane if the money is right.the thread starter took floyd`s comment`s out of context.
I did not take anything out of context. Floyd said "mostly is a great fighter and I wish him well in his career". How is that taking it out of context? If he is going to fight Shane if the money is right, he should've said so. But since he said "is not about money", he can say that, right:bottle: Now stop f****** crying.
If it does not make business sense, why do it?
No one is going to care about Floyd after he retires, the boxing world will move on. Boxing is his career, so he should try and make as much money as he can while doing it. Anyone with a career understands this. It's just jealousy of his 0.
That is all fine and dandy, you want to make money business sense, I could respect that. Just do not go around saying you're the best and you fight the best, because you are not and you did not. It makes him look foolish and cowardly when he says "I am the best P4P", but you do not fight the P4P that people consider the best. Floyd is a great fighter, he has the skills to beat probably all the P4P out there, but he is afraid to fight them because maybe the truth will come out. I think he is stucked on that best P4P shit and can not let go. He has to realize that other boxers are in the game now that might give him a run for his money.:banana:

We don't know if he is or isn't fighting shane... give the man some rest and time to not focus on boxing.. he prepared for over 6 months for his fight last week... a fighter in his position would have no intentions to negotiate a fighter just days after a bout... he will probably wait for cotto/pacquaio to finish.. since he knows that is the biggest fight for him... just give it time.... it's too soon to suspect mayweather dodging mosley.
None of you put stock in floyd unless he says something that suggest hes going to duck him?
Pretty much oscar is pushing for it, if oscar is pushing that means hes willing put money up to do it, i just think mayweather is mum on the situation until all parties sit down.
I just don't understand some posters on here. I'm a huge fan of Floyd and Shane. But more importantly I'm a fan of the sport. I always want to see the best fight the best. Floyd doesn't pay my bills at all. Cotto isn't the same fighter and a fight between him and Cotto should've happen in 2008 after he beat Hatton. But now he is trying to get his confidence back. I don't even believe Pac can even compete with Floyd. That's a mismatch waiting to happen. Shane is coming of an dominate victory and Floyd coming off a sparring session. Roger Mayweather has said that Shane is the only fighter that can compete with Floyd skill for skill. But his hardcore fans act like it will be so easy. Let the shit happen and let's see if it would be an easy victory for Floyd
I'm glad someone brought Roger's interview up. He even said it. This will be the best fight that can happen. Even though I believe PBF will win. We have to see this I think Jan will be the perfect opportunity for this to happen. (Coming off of all this hype) I don't understand the wait. Floyd should fight Shane in Jan. and then the winner of the Cotto/Pac in June. That fight would take a while to negotiate anyway. This is really a no brainer. There wouldn't be anyone else to fight other than 2 outh of those 3. Noone is going to fight Paul Williams. (he should stay in the Middleweight division anyway)

Not suprised at all. Typical mayweather.
I mean you have to be honest besides the Cotto Pac winner there is no one else to fight besides Shane.
I still think it might happen, you never know.
I don't think he is scared of him. I actually think Floyd would beat Shane. Shane isn't superman, people are acting like he's the most dangerous shit in boxing. But he shoulda worried about getting another fight instead of just waiting around for Pac, Mayweather and whoever. Why not pursue a Cotto rematch. Berto...Clottey...whatever.

source? or video i mean? i wanna see it
Mayweather gets accused of ducking a lot of guys, but I try to be as unbiased as I can. Mayweather's fans are using the Pacquiao-Cotto winner as an excuse of why he shouldn't fight Mosley, and that's fair play. But when did either of those guys express interest in fighting Floyd? I think that Cotto ducked Floyd more than the other way around throughout these years. Sure, Mayweather said some things like Cotto needs to become his own boss and he told Merchant that he would retire from boxing and not let boxing retire him. But after Cotto scraped by Shane in a close fight, Arum said that he didn't want Cotto to fight Mayweather because he didn't want to deal with businessmen. And Cotto took a fight with Alfonzo Gomez and then got beat into submission by a guy he was favored to win against. That's a far cry from what Shane just did by KOing Margarito and getting up into Floyd's face and telling him that they need to fight for the fans. And then we have Arum saying that a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight will take time.
So to sum it up, Cotto and Pacquiao are leary of fighting Mayweather, and Mosley wants to get at Floyd bad, and Mayweather is scared of him. So I don't accuse Floyd of ducking every guy out there. The fact that Mosley will be easy to deal with in negotiations is why the fight has to happen. Mayweather has got no place else to go.
Did any of you ever consider the fact that Floyd does`nt want to give Mosley a payday cause mosley been bad mouthing him or Floyd just wants to fight The Cotto/Pacquiao winner first?
Did you ever consider that Floyd will simply do anything other than fight Shane, as he knows shane is a very real threat? I actually belive he's afraid of shane.
Fight Shane make no more than 20 mill
Fight Pac (if he wins) More than 30 mill
Fight Cotto (if he wins) more than 25 mill
You guys sure are idiots, you wouldn't be fighting Shane either.
Yes, that is exactly what a pussy would say.
Floyd may make his choices in ways I don't appreciate but he still steps in the ring.
You however are so desperate for your favorite to avoid fighters that you invent shit. That is both sad and crazy. Any fighter I like I want to see face everyone. I don't invent or support bullshit theories that explain why they don't have to.

A Shane vs Floyd fight will sell bigtime. The fight already has a buzz. Plus millions just seen him call out Floyd. I'm thinking 1.6-2 million PPV's sold. Of course it will be a sellout. Plus Mosley probably wouldn't make it hard. He will take less without a problem. Both know how important each others name on there resume would be.
For all we know,there can be talks going on now. Oscar might want to keep it in the house like Arum did with Cotto vs Pac. Shane was trying to get that winner of Pac vs Hatton after he beat Margo and couldn't get Cotto to come to LA or Vegas. So who knows my man. Maybe there trying to send a message to Top Rank that they can make money on there own. Floyd vs Mosley would make them some serious money
2 mill ppvs is not being ridiculous!! If marquez can generate 1 mil, can u imagine how big the fight with sugar will be!! omg that would be like tyson and holyfield again plus!!!!! i honestly think that this fight is in the works and pbf would be retardeed not to do it! even if he loses (which he wont) he can still face whoever and make a gazillion dollars! he's proven he is a draw and took ocars spot! its time to go after legacy!!!!

I believe it will happen also. But I can't get mad if Floyd went after Pac. Shit, that's to much money. But I do believe the second biggest fight for Floyd is Mosley. Two well known figures in the sport. Floyd is more mainstream over course. But Shane is popular also. Not on a mainstream level. If Shane can get the WBC and the IBF belt. There is no doubt in my mind that Floyd would want to fight Mosley. That will a huge fight and there is more on the table. Undisputed/Lineal/Ring Titles, plus it's a legacy fight. Both are ATG's, but the winner would be really respected. Kind of like Leonard vs Hearns
i could not agree more!! he already makes more money than we can imagine fighting anyone, so what the hell is a few mill less by fighting shane first!!! that fight will be bigger than anything other than his fight with oscar! he would be stupid not to fight him!!
u r wrong!! that shiit was set up!! this fight will happen!!
