Is Floyd Mayweather Jr. ducking Shane Mosley?

[crillz]

ducking Mosley??.. nah Floyd ain't duckin him, I have a feeling it's due to that 24/7 **** sparring with Oscar for FREE in preparation for the May 5th fight. Floyd made his feelings clear when he called Shane Mosley a sparring partner and he wont waste his time fighting a sparring partner. not to say Mosley doesn't stand a chance cuz he does but the point is Floyd wont give him the time of day, he ain't gonna acknowledge him. I find that strange that he wont fight Mosley but then I think about it and it don't seem so confusing, Mosley did something a lot of people wouldn't do without some paper being put up..

I just know for a fact Floyd ain't scared of Shane but think about it this way, Ricky Hatton is the undefeated king of his country while Shane had his days off before, Hatton is popular and can generate a lot of money overseas, even over here that fight would do BIG, Mosley is like another Judah for Floyd accept with more skills, speed and power but to Floyd it would be nothing, his defense game is serious, the best right now. Floyd is doing the best thing for his legacy, Ricky is one of those Manny Pacquiao type of fighters who carry their countries behind them when they fight so if Floyd gives him his first defeat while he is still #1 pound for pound it would be cemented in stone, no one could deny him, he just taking the better fight and I cant knock him for that.. 100

Floyd-Mosley has never really been serious. In 1999, it was just a bad idea. Floyd was green and just because he wanted the fight didn't mean Arum would have gone near it. Last year, it sounded serious but considering the haul they just made for that 'other fight' how serious does one think Shane was considering he has a share of GBP? That said, if PBF fights Hatton instead god for him. Better fight, equally dangerous and younger foe.

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.

1) Floyd offered Shane a fight in 2006. Shane is the one who had the tooth/vacation excuse.

2) Floyd offered Shane a fight at 135. Jack Mosley asked for a ridiculous amount of money (ten mil?) thereby saying "no thanks".

3) Ricky Hatton IS a BIGGER money fight than SSM at this point. Shane just fought Collazo on WCB and the attendance was crappy. Hatton flew 10,000 pink soccer houligans across the pond for his fight.

I like you as a poster....but you are miles off on this one.

Thats amusing, by the way.
Objectivity would imply that you hold no bias, but in this case, facts are that Floyd has offered Mosley a fight on more than one occasion, with Mosley declining both times.

Mayweather is all about money. He just fought DLH. Why would he stoop to fighting Mosley and take a chance on losing as well?
