Make a thread with a poll if you don't believe me.
    Lol...It doesn't matter what people think about the fight now.


    I'm talking about after...the aftermath of the fight.

    I would give Floyd credit for beating Mosley..but his millions of haters won't. Floyd knows that.

      That was hilarious in real time. Merchant don't play that Kanye West crap ......
      The fight between Clottey and Mosley being off isn't really news to me. On another note, I agree with the TS regarding Mosley calling Floyd out in the ring. It would make Floyd look bad if he didn't agree to the fight. Lack of activity has really hurt Mosley's marketability though. He should probably try to get a fight with someone like Berto in early January if HBO would stop being pricks trying to screw him over. I'm thinking that if Mosley really can't get a fight with any of the big names at 147 he should go up to fight the winner of Kelly Pavlik and Paul Williams. We know Floyd would never do that because he doesn't have the balls.

      Of course Mosley turned down a $3 million payday to fight Williams, so double standards shouldn't be used. But where else is Shane going to go for a big fight if nobody with commercial value at 147 or 154 will fight him? Becoming the Middleweight champ would be a huge accomplishment in Mosley's career. And the Williams fight would be just that much bigger if Paul was able to beat Kelly. And we know that Pavlik is a big draw with the Youngstown crowd, so it's a win-win situation for Mosley. The only bad thing about a fight like that for Shane is the danger. But no pain, no gain.

        Anyone with any shred of neutrality would give Floyd all of the credit he would deserve for beating the #1 WW in the world....especially an experienced fighter like SSM with the power to ko just about anyone his size.

          Shane should start a fight in the ring with Mayweather, Great White Hype style.

            I'm talking bout str8 Kanye West style cutting off his post fight interview with Larry. We all know Floyd says he don't like getting called out on national TV. So you guys think?

                No offense to Shane he's one of my favorites but he's old, has 5 losses, and is not a bigger draw than Manny Pacquiao.

                To add to that, Floyd called him out on National Television(HBO) twice. One at Lightweight and another asking for a fight at WW. Shane said no to both.

                Floyd doesn't see a win over a 38 yr-old Shane enhancing his legacy, a win over Shane back then when he had 0 losses that was when Floyd was motivated to fight him. Mosley brings nothing to the table now. Just look who he's fighting next, Clottey?..No offense, very good and tough fighter but Clottey is not really Mega-fight material....
                how you figure?
