Shane Mosley Tells Mayweather Jr. To Stop Running

remember oscar de la hoya was only 34 and look at the **** floyd got for beating oscar, even idiots like yourself said he cherry picked oscar and oscar was past prime. how is a victory over shane more important at 147 then a victory over oscar at 154 when oscar was champion.


You have a point about the Oscar fight. No matter who Floyd fights and defeats, the haters will always have an excuse or something negative to say. When he beats Marquez, they will say Marquez was too small. When he beats pacquaio, they will say Pacquaio was too small. When he beats Mosley, Mosley will be too old, even though he is not too old now. When he beats Cotto, they will say Cotto had been in too many wars and had nothing left. The hating will never end no matter what he does.

That's why through all of Floyd's faults and flaws
(Which I am aware of) he totally gets my fan support
as a boxer because he has to be that good in everyone's
eyes that no one gives him credit because he hasn't lost?
and loves to discredit every fighter he ever fought but when
someone else fights them then it's a great win for them?
That's not calling it from a boxing perspective that is
purely from a negative out look and bashing a man's
character. If you are micro criticizing everything
Floyd does and the lil things make you get out of your
character then that's pathetic. I don't understand
why people get so mad at the guy for doing him.
I have read posts on here where people are saying
Floyd is scared of Mosley but then say Mosley is
getting too old and that's why Floyd is going to fight
him? That's hate and I don't care what no one says.

Mayweather had his chance to fight Mosley after Shane dominated Collazo and he blew it. The fight can still happen but don't you think Mayweather brings a lot of this negative criticism on himself by stalling this fight. I know both guys are guilty of this to a certain extent, but you get what I'm saying.

SSM is right...
Jr lost his money... and the IRS is after his black @ss...
He sorrounded himself with bums and opportunistic people and lost his money, he got conned by his own kind... now a sorry @ss fighter trying to make JMM his stepping stone... win, lose or draw... JMM has nothing to lose...
Jr thought his on top of the world when it comes to money... hahahaha!
You'll end up broke and a bum...

Yeah trying to make JMM his stepping stone but Marquez is making 3x's more than he has made in any fight!! GTFOH!!!

Shane Mosley indeed dismantled Antonio Margarito but in
all seriousness Margarito has always been an overrated bum
Who needed to cheat to win.

Well said..

you shoul have given him a shot when may was below you. now that hes the man and your an old man that cant draw, now you want to fight him?

Shane Mosley is a 1st class/grade future HOF, who just dismantled a man, that Floyd wanted no part of. I'd pretty much say that is the definition of deserving.

I'd also bet the house that you're views are in the minority, and that most people would like to see this fight happen. If it doesn't, Floyd needs to fight Cotto, Pac, or god forbid challenge himself against Paul Williams (awaiting any excuses you may have as why he shouldn't). No one "hates" your favorite fighter, in fact they are waiting for his indelible talent to make it's way to his heart. Mayweather's talent deserves to be tested, his gifts deserve to be tested, when a man is blessed with such gifts he can either choose to inspire people with those gifts, or drive them away; he has chosen the latter.

Just a footnote: When you reference Mosley's age of being 38, as being a legitimate reason why this fight shouldn't happen? Remind everyone else as well as yourself, that your favorite fighter is fighting a man who is 37 years old and considered a tuneup fight.

first off, mayweather isn't my favorite fighter. I like RJJ, Pacquiao and JMM more than I like him.

2nd, I want mayweather to step in to the ring with the best of the best just as much as anybody. I know he could beat anyone, but I would actually want to see him do it.

3rd, you completely missed the point about Mosley. If the fight happens fine, but if it doesn't, I wouldn't be upset about it. I really wanted to see this fight happen when both were in their prime.

And my mention of Mosley's age was just to make the point that Mayweather isn't ducking Mosley right now cuz he was calling mosley out back when Mosley was a beast and a force to be reckoned with, so why would he be ducking the current version of Mosley?

Stalling?
