    Floyd "EASYmoney" Mayweather...MILK is Chillin,But Mosely is WILLIN!

    Everybody needs to just open their eyes and see that Floyd is just milking his "villian" image and "milking" every dollar he can by taking the least risk for the most money. That means he will chow down on smaller (usually slower) guys that pose little risk to his "slash and dash" boring style that makes people want to see him "to witness him lose and then laugh" rather than watching Floyd because he's an exciting fighter - he is not! He is though, an amazing Boxer, with superb defensive skills, and crazy speed, agility, and reaction time. Look at the trail, Hatton, now Marquez, next PacMan. I would give Floyd credit that he has progressively stepped up the quality of smaller men (Hatton is OK, Marquez is Good, Pac may be Great) but the real pound for pound respect is for a fighter who has been moving up in weight, taking fights he probably should not win, and the coming up and winning impressively and with excitement! Now Floyd has moved up in weight and won titles, but not with much excitement ( Remember, the Hatton fight was a great and exciting fight for Floyd-probably his best showing, but Hatton was coming up in weight to him.) The fact is, Floyd needs to take on Mosely because that is a fignt many see him as possibly losing, where he takes on the bigger man, with still fast speed, and definitley a power threat, and this whole thing about money - a Mosely fight will bring the money, that is just a sorry ass Floyd excuse to delay the fight.
    The fact is that Mosely has brought more excitement to the boxing game than Floyd ever will, but Floyd does bring great skills that provide a good offset to an opponent who is a more exciting and engaging-pressing fighter, such as Mosely. Now if Floyd can do to Mosely what he did to Marquez, well now we are talking creating a legacy that Floyd would be proud of. Right now his legacy is of a a great skill boxer of his era, but not a great fighter for all times. He needs to "MAN" up and put the"MONEY" on the table of risk, come out on top, and then claim his legacy as an All-Time-Great. It's there, the plate is on front of him, but will he take a bite - or just leave things to get cold? - JulianJaz

      pac is too small. pbf is a MW on fight night. pac is a WW.

      pac/floyd is the biggest fight, but ya'll are talking too soon. i don't even think pac gets past cotto and even if he does, he might never be teh same again.

      shane's not a hypocrite, but he's a junior partner at GBP.

      even RJJ, Toney, and a bunch of other boxer have been tested positive for steroids. that doesn't make it right, but mosley is all ya'll wanna focus on.

      pwill would expose floyd too.

          Do some boxing history homework FIRST before making these kind of statements

          Floyd couldn't fight the guys Mosley lost to because they were in a heavier weight division .....
          Floyd fought Oscar at 154. Shane fought Winky at 154. So this history homework is yours plus extra credit. Shane also fought Forrest at 147. Sheesh. FANatics I swear

            Everyone needs to see the interview after the fight when Mosley beat Vargas, Larry Merchant put him on blast asked if he would fight PBF… His Reply “I will be taking a vacation” I have a toothache” Funny **** man.. I still think PBF will beat Mosley with no problem UD.

              Guy - did you read the whole discussion or just the parts you wanted to read to make your short-sighted so-called reply.

              The statement was "ALL" and as I stated - that is not true.

              Don't come with a .223 when you really need a bazooka.

                All of them should be denied "HOF" status ... no doubt!!!!

                There can be no exceptions, when drug based enhancements are involved.

                  Have you ever consider the scenario w/c happened before, the 1st fight of SRL vs Duran? I mean SRL is more skilled and talented boxer than Duran but he lost the 1st bout.

                  Or is Floyd better than Sugar Ray Leonard?
                  Dont know! But we are not talking about SRL nor duran. If you were looking for the answer of know then i'll say NO he is not. With that said, I will return with the question is ssm, pacq, or cotto better than duran?

                  See how irrelevant that is? Nice try but you failed!

                    From this highlight reel, you can see the top camera view. He clearly steps on Floyd's left foot though, he did land his shot none-nonetheless being stepped on and hit will knock anyone off balance. After that, Floyd looks a little awkward stepping forward with the left foot...like he is trying to avoid being stepped on.

                      Exposing Mayweather would be beating him him down by breaking through his defense. P-Will has a great as shot as there is out there if he can come back down to welterweight...but 'exposing' Mayweather? Naw...it would merely go 12 rounds and with P-Will taking it by points.
