There are a few reasons why I believe Floyd may actually fight Sugar Shane. I know this is hard to believe but allow me to explain myself.
First and foremost, he may fight Shane, simply to outdo Manny, who I'm sure he still fears BTW. But Shane is considered a bigger name and a better fighter than Joshua Clottey.
Second, he knows Shane will accept his demand for OSDT. Again, this will make Manny look bad because Manny didn't wanna play Floyd's game. Shane doesn't really have a choice on this one though; he was previously involved in a PED scandle and Floyd actually has a reason to demand such testing with Shane.
Third, Floyd has some serious face saving to do. The Manny vs Floyd fallout has left Floyd labeled a "DUCK". How better to prove the naysayers wrong than to fight Sugar Shane Mosley.
Fourth, with the Berto fight only a few days away, Shane was probably close to peaking now. Shane's conditioning could be thrown off if Mayweather vs Mosley happens in a month or so. Overtraining could be a possibility. Floyd is aware of this and might just jump at the opportunity to fight Shane now.
Last, a win over Shane could put him on even P4P terms as Manny, depending on how each of their next fights go. This will result in negotiating leverage in future Manny vs Floyd discussions.
Whatever the reasons, I damn sure hope the fight happens. Floyd will get all the respect in the world (from me included) if he fights Shane Mosley. This fight is long overdue.
No way in hell that two cheaters like XYLOCAINE MAN and BALCO MAN
will do better numbers then all natural MANNY PACQUIAO vs all natural CLOTTEY
You just lost all credibility with that stupid ass post.
Mayweather wont fight Mosley not even if Mosley had never rejected fighting him not even if Mosley wasn't ever accused of steroids use. Floyd only hoped Mosley feels old and is battered, but now that Mosley won't be up against Berto, Mosley should be in great shape.
Its all perfect for a showdown except Mayweather is too afraid to accept the fight.
I'm skeptical that it will happen, but for the reasons I stated in the opening post, there is potential there now that I feel was not there before.

As you can tell, I'm a huge Manny fan, but Floyd vs Shane is a bigger fight than Manny vs Clottey. This fight has been discussed since Floyd was at 130 and Shane at 135. I hope it happens.
only reason why XYLOCAINE MAN will fight BALCO MAN is cuz BALCO MAN will have 18 months lay off when they fought
Another good point. Let me add another one... Mayweather vs Mosley will do better numbers than Manny vs Clottey. This is a win win fight for Floyd. I actually think this fight may happen. If Floyd don't accept this fight, well, he continues to be a DUCK.
