Insider Notebook: Mayweather-Mosley Eyed By Schaefer

[sportsplato]

only time mayweather is coming back is if pacman beats DLH in stunning fashion and their ppv does great

I tend to agree with that. Or if Mosley sold his soul to make the fight.

Sir Mayweather jr is back ?

[sportsplato]

to be honest i would not like this fight. mayweather is the best ever fighter he has done everything he can in the boxing world. perfect record. no need for him to come back and box. if he did he would make it 40-0 because no one on the planet can beat floyd mayweather

Pwill would beat the crap out of Floyd!

[sportsplato]

I would still pick Shane over Floyd. Styles make fights and Shane's willingness to trade/take punches to get his own would be the difference in the fight. They would be the same size. Floyd has the speed advantage and Shane has the power. Shane by 11th rd KO!

PBF/Sugar

Floyd would SPANK Mosley's ASS! Mosley needs Floyd to revive his career that's why he's calling him out. When Floyd called Shane out he had to go to the DENTIST!

Cound't see Mayweather coming out for Mosely!

I agree that Mayweather would not come back for Mosley, but if it did happen, Floyd would have to be a prohibitive favorite.

Mosley struggled with Ricardo Mayorga. Enough said there, but even a year or two ago it was clear Mosley was slipping, and though it would have been a competitive fight back then, now it would be pretty one-sided for Mayweather, IMO.

But it just is not a big enough fight for Floyd to come back with. It's either Oscar II or Pacquiao if he beats Oscar. Those are the only two possibilities I can see...

Mosley Ain't Got Nothing To Prove He's Fought The Best Of The Best His Put In His Work!!! Floyd Can't Say That!!! Cotto And Margarito Would Tell You!! They Are The Reason He Retired!!! Thank You Mosley For All Those Years Of Great Boxing!!! Ur A True Warrior....

yalll acting like floyd is boxing almighty. he struggled against dlh. hatton had him uncomfortable in the early rounds. when shane said he was taking a vacation but he'll fight him early 07 floyd acted like he forgot who shane was. if floyd was so sure he'll win he wouldve fought him already.

i agree shane didnt look good against mayorga but to say he struggled when mayorga landed 12% & didnt land 100 punches. shane can still beat floyd.

floyd will run but shane has the skills to cut he ring off. floyd aint hitting hard enough to keep shane off him. he have a better defense than shane thats bout it. to some it up floyd will lose that 0.

By Robert Morales - Richard Schaefer, CEO of Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, walked over to press row after "Sugar" Shane Mosley knocked out Ricardo Mayorga with one second left in their super welterweight fight Saturday at Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

Speaking with Tim Smith of the New York Daily News and yours truly, Schaefer was asked what is next for Mosley. Mosley has been calling out welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. But Margarito's promoter, Bob Arum, last week said that Mosley would have to wait until Margarito fights a rematch with Miguel Cotto in June.

Schaefer has another plan. He said he is going to speak with Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe, both of whom are advisers for the "retired" Floyd Mayweather Jr. [details]

What excuse would Mosley think of now?
