Why did Floyd duck Mosley?

[S.G.]

why would he refuse a Hatton fight?

top 10 pound for pound fighter, supposedly in his prime (although in retrospect that may not have been the case), huge fan-base, people (mainly British tabloids, admittedly) were speculating that he had the style to beat Mayweather, he was his mandatory and Mosley was tied up with Cotto at the time

[Addition]

Amazing how people forget Mosley ducked Mayweather.

2501 v.02 On The Wrist KNOWS that Floyd ain't duck Mosley.

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.

floyd mayweather is a coward. he did not want to fight the best.

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.

Fact of the matter is that Floyd did call out Mosley when Shane was P4P but Who was floyd but little puppy barking up the wrong tree? He hadnt proven himself enough and the draw wasnt out there so Mosley tried to make more loot. Then when Mayweather came up and became an elite fighter Shane knows he has a good shot at beating him and for a big pay day but Floyd decided it was his chance to get a bigger payday and he went after Hatton for the easy W to preserve his 0. Its all politics man. Boxing is full of duckers and posers and hypocrits its just that Shane is a Good Fella and Floyd is a prick so who would you rather hate on? simple as that

If this were the case, Winky would have ducked everyone.

the fight doesn't make sense for floyd...shane has losses and doesn't have a big of a fan base as hatton...even though i would've loved to see floyd and shane fight
