Why did Floyd duck Mosley?

[2501 v2.0]

We all know that Mosley rejected an offer from Floyd, but after the DLH fight, Mosley, who is obviously a tougher fight than Hatton, publicly stated that he wanted Floyd, but Floyd declined. Why did Floyd decline? I dont understand.

Mosley might have taken his '0'? I dunno Floyd doesn't like big risks.

cuz mosley had nothing to offer floyd. mosley had no p4p status nor was he a champ of any kind. when floyd made the offer to mosley a couple of years back, mosley was p4p #1. shane turned that offer down. floyd in no way is a ducker as is perceived. he called a lot of top boxers out early in his career and fighters like cotto and margarito aren't sweating mayweather as much as ppl think.

Because Mosley had fought Collazo at mandalay bay on WCB. It was a low-rated show, and there were only about 4,000 people in attendance. I think Shane made about 2 mil for that fight.

Floyd thought that Shane wasn't a big enough name and didn't have the charisma or fanbase for a mega-fight.

These 2 took turns turnin each other down.

so floyd aint a ducker but margarito is even though he requested an immediate rematch with Paul Williams. hmmm. not saying you said such but it just puts a lot of the mindstate of this board into perspective.

Margs isn't a ducker.

Oh come on 2501, you know the answer to this

That's bull****, Mosley was still good. His fight with Mayweather would be bigger than baldomir and more important (to actual fans) than a Hatton fight. Now people sit there and ***** that Mayweather hasn't fought a real solid welterweight, well a Mosley fight would have proved otherwise. He should have taken that fight, it would be a huge name and a throwback to the days where the big names fought each other.
