Is Floyd Mayweather Jr. ducking Shane Mosley?

[Addison]

What do you all think? Personally, I think he is. I like to think of myself as one of the more objective posters on this board, so this is not an attempt to hate on Floyd. But he's ducking Mosley like the plague.

Mosley was calling Floyd out, calling him a chicken, and Floyd says nothing, but when Hatton calls Floyd boring all of a sudden he's offended. All of a sudden he really wants to hurt Hatton. So you get mad for being called boring, but ignore Mosley's (although corny) verbal jabs? On top of that he would make more money against Mosley, and he always talks about going after the biggest money fights.

Floyd has no reason not to be fighting Mosley now. He can't say he's retired anymore.

I agree with this for the most part.

Im sure shane mosley will take a good paycut in the purse to show floyd how its done.. lets just see if floyd will step up to the #1 contender at 147..

forget about before when shane said no.. just understand shane wants the fight now.. if floyd can keep his idiotic pride to a minimum and get this fight on and proove somehtin to himself and the fans..

I'm not singling you out, I'm just using your post as a reference. But how come when Mosley/Cotto/Hatton/etc doesn't take a fight with Floyd its no big deal, but when Floyd doesn't take a fight with them its a huge deal? Why should we "forget about before" and say that Floyd is ducking them now? Nobody was ever ready to fight him, which probably cost him millions of dollars, and now that he's ready to call it quits we should get on his case because some guys are ready to call his name?

To be honest,Mayweather probably doesn't want to fight Mosley because he wouldn't fight him when he used to call him out all the time, don't believe me, go back and look at his ESPN postfight interviews, he would always say Shane is ducking me, he's probably thinking "why should I get him a payday when he never gave me an opportunity", he also sees the fanbase that Hatton has and knows that it will bring in a global audience and probably break PPV records just from sales in the UK alone, even though a lot of yall are saying Mosley is the more lucrative fight, in all honesty Hatton really is.

So it comes down to money and pride.. because shane denied floyd before.. its his way of getting him back?? what is this highschool?? This is about knowing who the best is.. Just because shane did wrong by denying the fight why does floyd have to do the same?? I think it should be settled in the ring so there will be no more questions.. its one fight I really want to see.

Floyd kept asking Mosley for a fight and Mosley kept denying.
Then, once Hatton and Floyd are in serious negoitations, have a date and a place to fight, Mosley calls out Floyd.
Its convineint, and its pretty sad your buying into it.

[Easy-E]

Obviously Easy-E, Mosley wants this fight now you fool.

Mosley wants the fight now, when Floyd and Hatton are in serious negoations and are on the verge of signing a fight?
Lets hope Floyd doesnt pull out of the Hatton fight to fight Mosley, because then Shane will have to fake another toothache.

"seriously, Id fight Floyd Mayweather and beat him down...but I cant now...cause my tooth hurts."

[Easy-E]

plus, if this fight happens and Floyd schools him, we will hear the "Mosley is shot, Mosley is too old bull****.
The delusions of Floyd Mayweater "haters" never cease to amuse me. They will deny fact and logic right in front of them in order to find some way to discredit him.
Its quite pathetic.
