Ten Years of Ducking

It also is worth remembering the interminable delays Mosley caused for Mayweather on at least two occasions earlier in their careers, when the fight made all kinds of sense, only for Mosley to shy away.
Ten years ago, when a fight between them would have matched two of the brilliant, rising stars in the sport, Mosley balked. He and his father and then-trainer, Jack, were at Van Andel Arena the night Mayweather brought Grand Rapids its first championship fight, after which Jack Mosley was asked to assess his interest in the matchup.

For $10 million, his son would take the fight, Jack Mosley said, knowing that Mayweather had earned a $150,000 base purse for that night's lackluster decision over Carlos Rios, and that Mayweather-Mosley wasn't worth eight figures even if the purses were combined, then multiplied by two.

They traveled divergent paths for years thereafter. Mosley moved up to welterweight and defeated De La Hoya, only to lose twice to Vernon Forrest. Another win over De La Hoya boosted him again, only to fall victim to a pair of losses to Ronald "Winky" Wright.

It took until mid-2006, after Mosley scored consecutive knockouts over Fernando Vargas, before Mayweather-Mosley made sense again.

Mosley decided to take a vacation instead, leaving Mayweather to fight Carlos Baldomir.

So what would encourage Mayweather, whose eye is on bigger prizes against other marquee opponents, to agree to such a fight now that it benefits Mosley?

Probably nothing.

2006: Will Mosley Accept Mayweather Challenge

While Mosley (43-4, 36 knockouts) had reason to celebrate, Mayweather (36-0) had other thoughts.

“I’m going to the gym right now when I leave,” said Mayweather, who lives in Las Vegas. “All Shane Mosley did was motivate me. As soon as I leave here, I’m not going home. I’m going to get my bag, and go right to the gym and train.

“I would love to fight Mosley. He makes too many mistakes. The punches come too wide. He uses a pity-pat jab. If you come too wide, I see everything coming, no matter how fast you are. I’ve been hit by some of the best fighters in boxing and walked right through it. It’s not what you can take, it’s what you can dish out. And I’m known for dishing out whippings.”

Mayweather has the confidence that comes from being unbeaten, but Mosley seems to have reached a point in which talent and experience have meshed.

Saturday’s fight was far more one-sided than the first Mosley-Vargas encounter, in February, when Mosley won on a 10th-round technical knockout. That fight was halted because Vargas had a grotesquely swollen left eye, although he was rallying, with a chance to win by decision if the fight had gone 12 rounds.

In the rematch, Vargas looked older than his 28 years, perhaps forever drained by the brutal knockout losses to Félix Trinidad in 2000 and to Oscar De La Hoya in 2002. Vargas (26-4) did not sound ready to retire, but his reputation as an elite fighter has been damaged.

“Congratulations to Shane; it was his night,” said Vargas, who admitted that he had not seen the knockdown punch until he watched it later on a television replay.

De La Hoya has vowed not to fight again until at least 2007, making Mosley the next logical opponent for Mayweather. But a Mosley-Mayweather match is not guaranteed, just because fans may want to see it.

Mosley wants to wait until next year; Mayweather wants to fight in November. Even if they agree on a date, a weight and a location, the financial terms could be even harder to resolve.

Mayweather saw no reason why a fight against Mosley should not materialize.

“He has earned the right to fight me,” Mayweather said. “Mosley’s been ducking me for 10 years now. I’ve been chasing Shane Mosley forever. I can’t keep chasing the guy. I just want to beat the best fighters out there. People talk about me fighting Antonio Margarito next. Antonio Margarito is not a household name. It’s about business. We need guys who can generate pay-per-view numbers.

“I got to talk to Jin, she runs the show,” said Mayweather, referring to Mosley’s wife. “We can make the fight happen. She’s the boss of their household. I’m the boss of my household.”

In the ring Saturday night, the boss was Mosley. Not only did his future look brighter, but that future could also include Mayweather.

"Q: Shane talked heavy smack recently, did u peep that? Whatu think bout what he had to say?

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: On Mosley, first off, coming from a known steroid user he ain't even allowed to open his mouth about me. When it comes to money, he really ought to shut his mouth up. I made more money in 2007 than he has in his whole. Him saying we could make money together is ignorant. And that was just two fights. When I say he ain't no PPV attraction, that's a fact not an opinion. He ain't never been able to take his career to the next level and when I wanted to fight his punk a$$ he had a toothache. Those are the facts, next question."

This post make no sense, and lacks a serious amount of logic lefty.
you want to change facts.
you can change facts man to make a point.
stick with the facts.
And than make an argument.

I am not changing facts my point is with out a B Side Floyd is not a DRAW as you claim. In some of those fights he was the B Side. Minus GBp and he is not a draw. So if you are going to make a post like this give credit where it si due. GBP gets credit, Oscar helped him sell 2.5mil Hatton helped him sell at least 1.0mil and JMM helped him sell 1.0 mil of his total PPV buys. Where are or should I say how do you see me lacking facts in that post? my logic is over 4.5 million of those PPV's were sold by Floyd and another big name who just happenes to affiliated ith GBP if not the Golden Boy himself....Come on Horus you are better than that meng....Lefty

I couldn't find the thread I was thinking of. But I honestly think the people who take Horus seriously/to task, are playing into some evil fucker's ruse. **** is hilarious and, if it really is a put-on, whoever is behind it is some kind of minor Genius.

Tyson built those numbers you posted with out a B Side most of the time. he was fighting guys like McNeely. Come on Horus. 4.5 million sold between GBP and Mayweather Promotions. It is a good combo and it works. You are not that dumb Horus. I pulled your card as usual and you are not big enough to see my point or admit it. 4.5 million in the last three fights for FMJ and it might be more I am not sure of the Hatton fight #'s. so 7.15mil - 4.5mil and you have less than a 1.0 average pre GBP involvment. FMJ is ranked #4 but GBP helped him get there....Lefty

you are a dumb ****.

quit posting other posts and articles dumb ass. no one cares.

if you have a point , make it.

mayweather won a 130 belt at the end of 1998. mosley moved up to 147 a few months later in anticipation for a fight with delahoya a year later.

stfu

you weren't even following mayweather or boxing at the time.

bull**** these other fools , don't try to bull**** someone that knows what was going on at the time.

floyd didn't even move up to 135 'til 3-4 years later. he's gonna move up to fight mosley a few months after winning his first 130 belt?

give me a break. just because some idiot writer writes it or floyd says it doesn't mean it's true.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Be fair. Oscar was the draw in DLH-Mayweather, no doubt. However, without Floyd as his nemesis in that fight, it wouldn't have broken the records it did. Still, we rightly identify DLH as the draw in the fight.


You've got to give the same credit to Floyd for the Hatton and Marquez fights. Yes, his opponents brought some interest to the table, but Floyd was the draw in those fights. No doubt. To spin it otherwise is straight up jaundiced.
