Shane Mosley Tells Mayweather Jr. To Stop Running

[switchsouthpaw]

Perfect Point Grustler. At this point in his career shane shouldnt even have had to fight margarito!

Great fighters seek the greatest challenges, irrespective of age. Mosley is a prime example of what a great athlete strives for. What's the point of doing anything without challenging yourself?

If mosley can bait floyd enough then who knows they could fight

[boxingfan76]

Your forgetting that Floyd called out Shane and Oscar on his come
up and wanted to fight Kosta Tszyu but he was with HBO and Kosta
was with Showtime. Floyd is an opportunist and I don't believe if a
fight with Mosley was possible back then that he would not take it.
I think a lot of people are looking at it from 1 point of view. Shane
had chances but opted to go for the big $ and now Floyd is doing the
same because he don't need Mosley no more and Shane needs him.
Why is it so hard to see?

i agree with one thing floyd is definitley an opportunist.he needs the money after he retires he will certanly lose his money again because his buisness skills suck,he can make it but not keep it and all hell have left is his legacy, garunteed it wont live up to mosleys or even oscars not the way things stand now.right now hes at the roy jones path, has the physical prowess could perhaps beat anybody but wont risk it, wont face the elite, he is scared of losing.even ray robinson lost a 0 doesnt mean your a great fighter necessarily.great champions face great champions mosley is a great champion ,so are others floyd will surley never face.now jones is trying to make up for that but its too late hes damaged.

Mayweather fighting JMM as a comeback fight, is actually worse than ducking. Shane earned the top spot the hard way, Mayweather's marketability is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

If you believe that Floyd Mayweather Jr didn't earn his
fame and fortune in the Sport of Boxing then clearly
there is nothing left for us to debate about.

Mr Boat Buyer would fight Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley in the same night, same ring, same time for the right price. Just an exaggeration but you know what I mean.

Don't hold your breathe, it will happen if Mayweather grows a set.

and thats a BIG IF

I think you're completely missing my point. I could care less about fame and fortune. Sugar Ray Leonard fought to be great and the fame/fortune not only followed but still endures to this day. All great athletes share a common attribute, a constant need to prove themselves over and over again. I could care less about a man wearing a diamond earring and driving a Bentley, you want to impress me? Earn a degree at a 4 year university, not a community college, that impresses me, speak in an articulate manner. (By the way I'm not aiming that at you--I'm speaking in generalities)

You think when Floyd stops fighting, anyone will care? You think he'll get sprite commercials? The guy can barely speak coherent english. The one commercial he was in, he had no speaking lines.

if you believe that then the same can be said about
freddie roach and pacquiao. Freddie roach goes on
record and says he picks the fighters and try to gain
handicaps for manny.

thats a different ***** move which i dont agree with , but overall at least mosley and cotto in the conversation , for floyd its just out of the question, he was all stuttering,you want me to face a guy with 5 losses?you want me to take a fight i will most likely lose thats what it came off like. As things stand now mosley called him out,and floyd doesnt want any weak excuses, mosley the man at welter, at least mosley has the balls to say i dont want paul williams i want guys my own size, 147 which is perfectly understandable, but mosley has earned that beacause hes faced the absolute best! Of the best.floyd since liteweight has not done that.

Legacy

No one has said that Mosley isn't a great fighter, so what's your point? A greater all time fighter than Mayweather? No. Mosley lost alot of the big ones, I don't care who he stepped in the ring with. Zab Judah has faced the toughest opposition out of all these dudes, but he lost. Does that make him a great fighter too?

And yes I believe Mosley is avoiding Paul Williams, as he has himself stated that he would prefer not to fight him. That sounds to me like he would rather avoid Williams. Maybe it's simply because he wants a money fight, but if that's the case, Floyd shouldn't be criticized for doing the same. Though they are both elite fighters, Floyd's stardom puts him in a different level as far as his mega-fight options. He doesn't care about the best fight, as much as he does the most lucrative. It just so happens the best fighter and biggest payday happens to be the same man: Manny Pacquiao. And how would a better tune-up be against a welterweight, as opposed
dollars and in sense. If he beats the #1 and #2 best P4P fighters in the same year, his legend will forever be cemented in boxing history.

Mayweather will always be questioned about why he never fought the top WW's when he was the champ and still doesn't have the intention to do it. But he can change all that, if he beats a prime Cotto or mosley, he can shut all people mouths once and for all. Make the money fight against Pacquiao and then fight mosley or cotto for the legacy for beatin a true WW champ. Amen
