I've noticed a few of Floyd's fans who seem to make excuses why Floyd shouldn't fight Shane, whether it's that Shane lost his chance, or that he shouldn't fight Floyd because he used steroids, etc...
But truthfully, as a Boxing fan, why would one not want to see this fight today?
Please discuss...
I don't believe that Shane deserves a fight with PBF. If PBF don't want it then he shouldn't give him it, it's not ducking. Floyd's the man and he calls the shots. When Mosley was on top he didn't give Floyd a chance. With that said, I would love to see Floyd shut Mosley up.
He has to wait for Pac/Cotto winner. If he signs off on a fight with Shane and Pac wins, Roach might call it a day for Pac or fight someone else for a closer to his career. If Cotto wins, then he can fight Shane (because he is older than Cotto) and then if he beats Shane, fight Cotto. Pac's set to retire very soon so he can't blow his chance with that fight.
Here's the thing with me .... I'm a Floyd Fan {Boxing} Not the other sh*t he does outside of the ring .... But I do understand that he does it to promote an image that sells. That image has made him millions hand over fist and it has worked well ... Now Mayweather is all people talk about {Get it??} {It worked}
Now as a long-time Boxing fan, I want to see Mayweather fight Cotto, Pac, Mosley and Clottey.
But I also understand that Boxing is a BUSINESS FIRST and that fights that generate huge revenue must be taken ahead of legacy fights. Because the money may not always be there to be had ... things change on a dime in boxing and if a Big money fight is at your doorstep ... take it while you can. And from there let the chips fall where they fall. :popcorn:
Exactly.
He has the money, he should using his comeback to further his legacy againest legit competition.
Mosley-Floyd is a very good fight, even sized, speed, power, everything in the mix for an actual good fight ANYONE would love to see.
plus 1+ million people saw mosley punk floyd on international televsion... mosley/floyd sells like hotcakes.
yea why not..but people need to calm down and let floyd weigh his options..he just fought a week ago
floyd isn't even entertaining fighting mosley. that's why he's ducking him. floyd isn't even saying mosley is a possible future opponent... its straight up duckage.
I'd prefer to see him fight the Pac/Cotto winner, but i aint a Mayweather fan. :lol1:
pac is too small.
mosley is the #1 WW, not cotto.
Mosleys the toughest fight IMO but in the end mayweather beats him. Mayweather gets his props if he takes out Mosley. If he fights Mosley he's fought the number 1 ranked WW and that can't be taken away from him.

If you don't want to see Floyd fight Shane sometime next year (even if he fights the winner of Pac-Cott) you aren't a Floyd fan or a boxing fan. You are just a ****ing idiot.

Not a Floyd fan but I don't see how not fighting Mosley makes sense.
Forget about PPV numbers, this is boxing to be determine your legacy and be the best ; not fiancial wars with gloves.
Honestly, the fighter of the 3 Mosley has the best chance to beat Floyd . And everyone KNOWS this. Just because Mosley is a draw or not shouldn't matter, Floyd says he brings the fans right ? Then he shouldn't worry and make excuses about the past.
Pac/Cotto winner is the better fight and would look better on his resume. Mosley did well against Margarito but lost to Cotto and looked shit against Mayorga the 2 fights before.
Id' say your as good as your last fight. Remember, no one would touch Margarito after what he did to Cotto.
he cant win whoever he fights-shane is 2 old,manny is a blown-up flyweight (hater talk)
he should fight them both if possible,no doubt in my mind that he wins
after watching shane footage i see he tends to fight uptight and stiff with robotic movement and loads up on all his power shots... add that with his swiss cheese defense and you have a easy win for floyd...
shanes only chance would be a slugfest which floyd just wont do with him.
shane only has a punchers chance...i see floyd out slicking him but.... he better not get caught clean with any of mosleys power cause it could be his undoing
A win over Mosley meaningless today..simple fact is Mosley is 38, I can hear it now, Mayweather beats him and then Floyd haters say..of Mosley was over the hill. Myself Pacman is the man to beat, Floyd will have a tough time beating him because of Pac's speed and not afraid to throw punches.
Pacman beats Cotto easily...to fast and I think we are in for a surprise
I see Pacman knocking Cotto out. Pacman is the most under rated puncher
out their.
I gotta disagree my dude...
What people seem to ironically do is make Shane Mosley look like this old, forgotten fighter, but who are they foolin??? Shane Mosley is the Welterweight champion as of today, he's fought both Margarito and Cotto with losing a close decision to Cotto and annihilating Margarito (2 guys Floyd's never faced). He's had deals with both Berto and Clottey that fell through with Berto being a good possibility in January. That will be his 3rd title fight in the span of around 2 1/2 yrs. How is Shane NOT a legit opponent for Floyd much less a win over Shane being meaningless? That's like saying Floyd beating Oscar was meaningless. You gotta give Floyd credit for that win don't you?

I want to watch this fight done, cause about 3 years ago when mayweather fought hatton, and cotto fought mosley i told the world, that it should have been speed vs speed (mosley vs mayweather), and body puncher vs body puncher (hatton vs cotto), then the two that are still on top fight. But i'm not a promoter so it never happened lol.
The ideal scenario would be
Shane vs Berto in January
Floyd vs Pacquiao in May/June
Shane vs Clottey in june/july
Mayweather vs Mosley in December for WBO/WBA/WBC/Ring WW titles
Ideal...
