    But Mosely turned him down because he had a "toothache".



    Shane doesn't want to fight Floyd.
    Maybe true, but maybe he knew that Oscar had plans to fight Floyd and wasn't going to step over him.

      How fast they forget. Mosley couldn't even have convinced his own fans he wasn't ducking Floyd. DLH has a chance because he can catch Floyd coming in with a left hook. Mosley stands ZERO CHANCE. He has a weak jab and a huge head that Floyd would batter all night. And you all know his head is HUGE. Its so unproportional compared to the rest of his body.

            when they first became pro's Mosley was the man at lightweight and Floyd looked like the little brother .
            Mosley was big and knocking everyone out while Floyd was stopping everyone via tko stoppage.
            The hype started building just as Mosley started talking about moving up in weight.
            Mosley was to big to stay very long at lightweight but Floyd could make weight easy.

            Floyd had said many times when he first became pro that he wanted to unifi and break Joe Louis's deffence record .

            There's no way that Mosley was going to move back down in weight to fight someone who has never sold all that well over the chance to fight De La Hoya who is the best non heavy seller of all time and someone who he grew up with and knew he could beat .

            Soon after Mosley has a losing streak and becomes partners with De La Hoya.
            All this time we have Floyd calling out Oscar.

            Now Mosley could fight Floyd but if he wins it kills the hype of Floyd vs Oscar but if Oscar fights Floyd first no matter the outcome it will build hype for a Mosley vs Floyd match up.

            Either Floyd fights the man who beat the man who beat him
            or
            Floyd one ups Oscar one more time by perhaps beating the man that Oscar couldn't in two trys.

              If Mosley fought Mayweather, it would have happened in November last year. That would still leave plenty of time for a Mayweather-DLH fight. It's funny how you guys know exactly what is going on between the top dogs at Golden Boy Promotions all of a sudden...

                      Hopkins didn't move up in weight like Floyd has had to do. Most of the guys you listed were heavyweights.

                      Floyd has gone from 130 to 154. I'm sure most would say going up in weight is more difficult than staying at one weight for a long time.

                      Also Floyd is better than any fighter today overall. Mosley's defense is **** compared to Floyd's.

                      But your a hater so anyway...
