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

[Dave Rado]

You are absolutely right. Pacquaio doesn't need Mayweather. He can make $5 million fighting Mosley or $4 million fighting a third fight with Marquez or $2 million fighting Timothy Bradley. He doesn't need the $20 million he would make against Mayweather when he can fight four other fighters and make the same amount.

You are also right about Mosley. He is not demanding 60 percent against Mayweather. He is simply begging him for a fight and will take whatever Mayweather is willing to give him. However, Mosley WAS demanding 60 percent in 2006 when Mayweather wanted to fight him and he WAS asking for $10 million in 1999 when Mayweather called him out, even though, at the time, Mosley's biggest purse had been $500,000.

In their last five fights, two of which have been against the same people, Mayweather has sold twice as many PPV buys as Pacquaio. You can try to feed everyone that bull**** about this being due to Mayweather's opponents instead of him, but no one (not even the promoters or boxers themselves) believe that except the haters. That is why Mayweather will get 60 percent of the purse against Pac or anyone else he fights.

You're obviously an accountancy fan, not a boxing fan. I believe there are accountancy forums on the Wall Street Journal website for people like you. This is a boxing forum. And all boxing fans want the best to fight the best. Which Mayweather doesn't want to do. Anyone who defends Mayweather for not wanting to fight the best is simply not a boxing fan. No other top fighter in boxing history has had such a terrible attitude as Mayweather. His attitude is sickening. All the greats from the past wanted to test themselves by fighting the best fighters in their weight classes. Mayweather doesn't.

who says it's a challenge. it's going to be a walk in the park for mayweather fighting mosley. mosley is too old and will be beaten to the punch repeatedly. mosley is not even sure to win over berto.

Berto will be a walk in the park for Shane. No Hatian voodoo can help Berto's coddled ass. And if you would pay attention, you would know that Mosley's ink is dry on the contract. It's Berto and Dibella that are ***** footing with the terms. They claim that it is nothing to do with Mosley. They are just trying to work things out with HBO. What exactly is that? Sounds like fear to me.

If he doesn't want to fight the top ranked fighter in his own weight division he should retire again right now.

The great fighters from the past didn't get their status based on what their fans think would have happened if they had fought the best fighters in their weight class. They actually fought them.

The media and fan hype has done very little to change the position of Floyd Mayweather Jr. He appears to have no interest in a fight with WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley. Mayweather is still holding a grudge over Mosley turning down his fight request in 1999. Mayweather told boxing scibe Tim Smith that a fight with Mosley was important back then, but he doesn't need Mosley now. Mosley confronted Mayweather in the ring after Floyd won a dominating decision over Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19. [details]

in simple english......."i'm afraid of mosley now"

The more Floyd speaks the more i get sick and tired of hearing his bull ****.

Floyd now procalims himself as the best in welterweight after a 2 year layoff of ducking and fighting a lightweight in Marquez shows how bad Floyd really is.

*****.

Go ahead and take on pacman you coward. I much preffered to see him take on Mosleys challenge first and then taking it on againts the Cotto/Pacquiao winner.

*****!

Im a floyd fan and he need to fight Cotto Mosley and Pacquiao

pacquiao most probably because he is midget.
