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
