      Floyd has a lot of respect for Kostya.

        No ****... if there is one guy who doesn't run from fights, it's Mosley.

        Yes, the same Mosley who turned down a third fight with De La Hoya (which likely would have made sure his grandchildren never had to work) because boxing isn't about making money, it's about making the best fights possible.

            Well the fight didn't come off and Tszyu said he would fight anybody at LWW. So, go figure. Tszyu's got (had) the LWW belt, you might think that there would be challengers for that belt.

              Yes, but Mosley was was fighting at 147... it was said earlier that it is difficult to get the bigger name to move down to fight, which I think is pretty on-point.

                I think that's an open question, to be generous about it.

                  Not really. There are many instances of fighters going down. It's not uncommon at all. You've been the subject of a disingenuos argument.

                    Mosley was a WELTERWEIGHT...and was never a LWW in serious fights...p;ease inform yoyrself before posting ****, shane was regarded as at least top #3 p4p.... and was the bigger name...

                      For starters DLH couldn't stay at 140 for too much longer, reason being his weight and much bigger names in Welterweight division where calling.

                      Mosley went straight to welter where he fought oscar.

                      Kostya didn't want to come up to welter in the end to fight shane.

                      Sorry to break it to you.
