Floyd Mayweather Jr: "I Don't Need Shane Mosley"

[pac oww]

I will never understand how so many can defend a proven drug cheat.

[MIAMI CANE]

GROWN MEN CRYING FOR SHANE MOSLEY.

**** Shane Mosley, he will never get a fight. I honestly believe PBF would fight, PW before he fight's Mosley just off of principles. Its dislike now, Floyd will never put money in his pockets now. Its principles, it's business. Some of you take this boxing **** to heart. It's entertainment, and entertainment is big business baby. Floyd will fight the winner and the loser, of the Cotto-Pac fight in 2010.

floyd just fought why not wait until he signs a contract before you start dissing him. floyds not gonna wanna start training for a fight for a while. you have to remember this last training camp was long as ****. floyds gonna fight mosley if the moneys right.

Have not dissed him, I should know better not to take seriously what he says but in did say that he is not waiting for the Cotto/Pac outcome and is not fighting Shane. Unless he fights Williams or at minimum Berto, I'm not gonna pay for another Floyd fight.

it makes no sense for floyd to beat him because shane mosley is a steroid user.all shanes fights from the de la hoya rematch up to the margacheato knock out has a asteras next to it. plus pbf makes more money for a posible cotto or pac megafight .

The point here is not only Mosley, the point here is that Floyd doesnt want to fight a real welterweight champ. Thats what the overlook is.

you dont need him cuz your afraid of him.....plain and simple............

how come no one said this when PBF was tryin to fight Shane.....twice

[odogg8121]

What a joke! Who is he going to fight besides Williams/Cotto/Pacquiao? Mosley is the toughest match up for him and by saying he doesn't need him will forever tarnish his legacy. He's a chump and should be embarrassed of himself. I hope that people will start ignoring him until he actually fights someone.

ok, but Roach and Arum are saying the samething about PAC, so do you feel this way about him too?

[odogg8121]

you Guys are all ******.... haterssss... Why would he fight shane???? he came back to fight the best. JMM was #2 he should wait and fight the winner of pac/cotto. Why the **** would he fight a guy who beat a cheater and got lucky against MAYORGA LOL and lost to COTTO. I give props for him fighting JMM after a 2 year lay off. and about the weight issue please stop, its pound for pound if you worry about weight then well take your ass of the list. Roy Jones who is the GOAT said it best "Weight dont matter, Im P4P"
Tru P4P champs dont care about 2lbs you idots. YOU GUYS JUST GOT OWNED!!!!!

shane mosley interview


Q: You were in attendance for the Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez bout. What is your evaluation of Mayweather’s performance?

A: Well, I really couldn’t evaluate it because he fought a junior lightweight and the lightweight champion. I couldn’t tell if he actually improved or anything because he was so much bigger than the guy, but from what I had seen he looked like he has his speed back, he looked pretty sharp, but look at the opponent he was facing..

Q: After the fight you actually challenged Floyd Mayweather and many observers, according to what I have read, noted that Mayweather appeared intimidated by you. Did you get that impression at the time?

A: Well, I’ve always known that Floyd is intimidated by me. I mean, I see him out at different places and he’s intimidated, he doesn’t really want to fight me. He would much rather fight guys that he could handpick and get victories from and basically just get money. He can make money fighting Marquez, make money fighting (Manny) Pacquiao, and make money fighting the Ricky Hattons of the world, but when is he going to get in there with a welterweight again? With a real welterweight? I mean, there’s myself—the number one welterweight—and there’s (Miguel) Cotto,(Joshua) Clottey, and (Andre) Berto. We have four welterweights that he hasn’t fought.

Q: After you challenged him, a week later, Mayweather wished you good luck in your career which seemed to indicate he’s not interested in fighting you. He also mentioned that he challenged you twice, and he claims that you turned him down back in 1999 and again in 2006. Did you really turn him down?

A: Like I said, he’s really a liar. He likes to lie a lot. In 1999 there’s a film where he’s fighting in Michigan when he was fighting at 130 and I was fighting at 135, and I asked him, like when HBO does the prefight analysts talk to the fighters before they fight. I talked to him, and hopefully it’s recorded somewhere—I think it was on FX—I asked him, “Are you planning on coming up to lightweight to fight me?” And he said, “No,” He had no intention of coming to lightweight to fight me, he wanted t beat Carlos Monzon’s record. He didn’t want to come to lightweight. That’s when I jumped from lightweight to welterweight to fight Oscar De La Hoya. That was the first incident that he’s talking about, so he turned me down in 1999.

Now, the other time he’s talking about is when I fought three times—one, two, three, back-to-back-to-back—and they tried to rush me to fight him right away, like two or three months later. I said, give me a month, and we’ll do it like, I think it was in January—I said, “We’ll do it in January”. They wanted to do it in like November or December, and I said, “Give me a month and we’ll do it in January or February.” They didn’t want to do that. So they chose to fight Oscar De La Hoya. I said, “Go ahead and fight Oscar, and if you beat Oscar, then let’s get busy. Let’s do this.” He beat Oscar—he didn’t want to fight me.

He’s been turning me down. I hate when he continues to say, “Oh, he turned me down because of a tooth ache”. Yeah. I got head butted in that fight that and my tooth was loose that night. They asked me to fight Mayweather and I said, “Give me an extra month, and I’ll fight him.” He didn’t want to fight me, which was cool. He could go and fight Oscar because that’s more money. Okay. That’s cool, but after that fight if you win—fight me. He didn’t want to do that. He chose to retire or fight somebody else. I’m getting tired of that lie! They need to wipe that lie out of there. The reporters and stuff, they keep saying it, so that lie needs to be talked about.

Q: Now Shane, on a recent edition of On the Ropes Boxing Radio, I actually had a chance to speak with Floyd Mayweather Senior and I asked him who he thought would pose the toughest challenge to his son from 147 down, and he said, “Shane Mosley”. Style-wise, why do you think Floyd Senior views you as the biggest threat to his son?

I’m the biggest threat to anybody at the welterweight division. Nobody can beat me. He knows that. All the fighters know that. It’s just the writers and some of the fans that don’t really know. They’re undecided. I’m really pound for pound the best. I am the best, right now. They can’t beat me. Floyd can’t beat me, Manny Pacquiao can’t be me—I am the best at welterweight. That’s why I have to go up to junior middleweight and fight people up there because welterweight is my division. They can’t beat me. I’m the King of that division.

You now look like a moron to everyone here.

Shane Mosley is the recognized WW champion... in case you didnt know, Floyd is apparently a welterweight.

JMM being the #2 p4p fighter has nothing to do with anything and it doesnt mean anything, JMM is a LW.

If Bernard Hopkins challenges Manny pac because he's the "#1 p4p fighter" THen it's ok... because Pac is the best fighter in the world? Uh... no.

Shane Mosley got lucky against Mayorga? He knocked him out.

And FLoyd already said he ISNT waiting for the winner of Pac - Cotto.

Try to keep up.

I hear wat ur saying but BHOP vs PAC is not realist fight but i still here wat ur saying, and my take is he should fight the winner of Pac/Cotto...then the winner of Shane/Berto...how about that

also lets be real he is waiting on the winnwer of Cotto/Pac thats the money and thats wat he is after. I hope Cotto wins he will be a bigger risk...now PBF is one of my FAVS but if Cotto wins and he dont fight him then..I will start a post that says former PBF fan
