    Kind of discouraging if your one that thinks him and Mosley should fight. I know Mosley had a chance a few years ago but whats more fitting than now if they both got in the ring and fought with the winner taking on the winner Nov 14 (Cotto).

    Mayweather only mentioned Mosley's name when it was brought up, he stated that Mosley had a great career and he wished him the best. Mayweather didn't really comment on anyone, no name drops, nothing. The interview seemed pointless to me other than Mayweather apologizing to the HBO staff for not making weight.... I didn't really understand that....

    From a boxing fans perspective and a realistic fan of Mayweathers, this fight should happen. The winner fighting the winner from Nov 14th could generate more hype and excitement than any fight in my 27 years.... Plus in order for people to accept Mayweather's statements, he needs to fight and beat Mosley. Let alone a top WW. I couldn't agree more and I only wish that it happens. The cash money is there, the plot is there, the story needs to be told in the ring. The fight would be GREAT and it would open the winner up to a HUGE payday unlike anything anyone has seen to date.

    Why it wont happen is beyond me. I can only hope it does! Please boxing god, give us what we want....... Christmas is coming up and I haven't said ANYTHING bad about Joe Calzaghe in a long time!!!!!!!!
    I thought Floyd apologized to the HBO crew for talking badly about them, although it was when Lampley asked about the weight.

      If you give Judah rounds 1, 2 and 4. maybe 5. What other rounds would you give him? Zab got shut out down the stretch.

I think cause Oscar had found a receipt how to beat PBF during his loss, and could beat him the second time they fought (i don`t think you`d tell that their fight wasn`t close...) and Mayweather was pretty smart to realise that... I think the second reason why PBF "retired" was that he was a lineal welterweight champion and had a Cotto/Margarito upcoming... And really strong (and i think the best ever) Welterweight division to take care of...

        You say that 5 rounds + a KD for Judah wasn`t possible in that fight?

        Or haven`t you seen the fight? Judah hit PBF with the right hook in the second round (i guess... i really watched that long ago ) and mayweather had to touch the canvas with his glove to keep balance.
        No way did Zab win 5 rounds in that fight. I gave him three. He also was on his way to getting stopped before he low blowed Floyd and got a point deduction. Of course I know about the KD you are referring too, but watch it again. Zab stepped on Floyds foot right as the punch was landing and that is what caused him to lose his balance.
        Zab made a solid account of himself, though.

          He did not step on the foot. Look at the actual video and not an overhead picture. His foot is NEXT to Floyd's, not on it.

            I did. Certianly looks like he stepped on his foot.

                    Yea it was kind of odd. I guess I just expected so much more from the interview. I felt as if I missed something or missed the point completely. Did you get anything from the interview other than May blowing off Mosley?

                      Well, Floyd's HBO explanation for not fighting mosley was more articulate than his Brian Kenny response ("Shane who has five losses?!")

                      When you say that you tried to make fights with the guy previously and he blew you off, that is sound justification.

                      Anybody reasonable can understand that.
