Floyd Mayweather Jr. Turns Down Shane Mosley

[The Gambler1981]

Mayweather must have sparred Mosley before and got his ass kicked. I can't think of any other reason why he wouldn't fight Shane... He always has some negative **** to say about him but he won't fight him. What's the excuse now? It can't be money? Quit hand picking your fights Mayweather!!

Really? I only hear Floyd say negative stuff about Mosley after the whole tooth-ache thing. Before the Oscar fight, I know Floyd wanted to fight Mosley, but Mosley took the rest of the year off (could have been his plan to take the rest of the year off, but is this not his own fault for the fight not comming off at this point). After that is when Floyd started to talk **** about Mosley calling him a sparring partner and whatnot.


Just because a fight does not come off between 2 fighters does not mean that either are affraid of the other, there are many reasons why a fight will not come off, and do you know what the biggest reason fights do not happean? M_O_N_E_Y, it makes the boxing world turn.

I like Mosley, but the facts are he lost to Cotto who ain't the best boxer in the world proven by margarito and his loaded gloves. He then struggled with Mayorga who ain't even the boxer Cotto is and got a lucky KO in the last rd when he might have oterwise lossed. He then goes on to KO a Fighter who has even less boxing skills than Mayorga in Margarito and now he is this huge threat that stirkes fear in the heart of the greatest fighter of this era.

This is the same shane who punches with his eyes close, who can only land big shots againsta slow, no lateral movement, no head movement, no angles, come forward and always in the same place fighter maragrito....this is the guy that supposed strikes fear.

Mosley done had numerous chances for yrs...when Floyd was hungry and now he run off at the lip when dude retired and that is supposed to mean something. Mosley go and redeem your loss to Cotto!

He might have turned down Mosley but Mayweather 'coulda,woulda," beaten Mosley.
AmI right,Mayweather fans?

Just because a fight never happeans, clearly means one fighter is superior to the other right?

Because that is such an informed opinion, it just blows my mind.

why does everyone get so BENT outta of shape when ANY news of Mayweather is posted? The guy has said that he IS retired, so if he turns down a guy, then why does most people on here act as if he is STILL fighting and if he is active?

I think this fight should have happened A LONG TIME AGO and I would have RATHER watched it then. Kinda reminds me of the RJJ-Hopkins rematch that never happened. It was bad timing. I am not going to say Floyd ducked Shane or vice versa (they know the story better than I do), but I just think that it would have been MORE interesting back THEN at 35.

If Floyd would come out and fight Shane and beat him, he would be my #1P4P fighter and I don't even like him.

You know the bold is too much correct information for majority of the posters on this site. You can't make too much sense or your post will be passed over for a post that is completely filled with ******ity.

I love the bold...that is SO true. One of the MAIN reasons why we never got Jones- Hopkins 2!!!!

After Shane Mosley pulled off the performance of a lifetime by knocking out Antonio Margarito on January 24, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer would quickly state that he was planning to speak with the team of Floyd Mayweather Jr. to explore the possibility of a Mayweather-Mosley bout. Mayweather has been retired since mid-2008, but a month ago his adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, said Floyd had directed him to review potential fight offers. [details]

Ima well known huge Floyd supporter...but even I am dissapointed at this.

The only thing I can think of is that the offer wasnt enoug to lurethe champ out of retirement...I think the only 2 people who can bring Floyd out of retirement is the winner of Pac/Hatton.

Its clear thats the bout hes waiting on.

I loved it., When The floyd Huggers make excuses for Floyd not fighting the top Competition. jajajaj Its funny really. Floyd Coulda,woulda,ect,ect,ect

**** Mayweather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[crillz]

it's always funny to me to see how those who say good things about Floyd have little pictues of him everywhere and same for Cotto, Margarito and Mosley, same for everyone, it's clearly a favoritism an it's astonishing to hear some of you try to explain it as something else, this is why you don't see pictures of fighters with me, to know whom I respect you must read my posts, that **** happens too much on here..

yea well I expected this, I KNOW he's not scared, I know Floyd fears no man it's just he doesn't give a **** about the fans enough to give them the 3 fights they want to see, Pacquiao, Cotto and Mosley, he made 20 Million against Oscar due to our tax dollars, did it actually more than once too and when it comes time to STILL make BIG money fighting against someone we want to see him fight we don't get that, he ain't going to give it to us. it's completely messed up man, I see Floyd fighting Shane when Shane is like 43 or something, this is why I lost respect for him because there is no realness behind him, he looks away from mosley while Cotto would actually RATHER fight Mosley, Floyd turns away from the biggest threats while Cotto chases them, undefeated or not Floyd's record in 10 years compared to Cotto's will be a big pile of ****, this is very saddening because I KNOW Floyd isn't scared, that isn't the problem it's just he doesn't give enough of a **** about his fans to give them what they want to see, shameful **** man really..
