      People love to talk about how Floyd is affraid of XXXX XXXXXXXXX, do you think that is going to change? If people feel Floyd is affraid of Shane do you think people will really look at the age (atleast before teh fight, because age would come up after for sure but IMO it would if they fought tomorrow).
      I never said Floyd was ever scared of anyone... I honestly don't know why he doesnt fight these guys... but regardless of who may give what excuse.

      Mosley IS 38.. and IS only getting older... and after they eventually do(if) fight, age isnt necessarily an excuse... it's simply a fact.

He has always generated a lot of ill will, downplaying Shanes seems to have stirred up a horents nest and people seem to really think Floyd is affraid of Shane (as someone who has watched both guys a ton I see no reason why) and to me that makes the fight much more hyped up because people believe Mayweather is affraid so people give Shane a much greater chance then what he has in reality (IMO).

        Floyd generating hate is a large part of what he does, to me this just seems like a continuation of everything from the past. I want to see how it all plays out with his comeback before jumping to conclusions.
        I tend to agree with this post, Floyd's formula lately has been to diminish his adversaries to let a potential matchup build up.

          He will be sooooo heartbroken I'm sure...

          Holding your respect or lack thereof over him like some kind of leverage that matters... LOL...you have NO leverage over Floyd, he doesn't care what you think. Holy crap, such arrogance of the average critic, far surpasses that of any boxer I can think of.

          At least boxer's earn the right to be arrogant.. Critics? not so much, there, friend.

              I never said you did, I said look at the preception around here. I doubt it is going to change in a year. Preception is reality as they say (especially when it ocmes to selling a fight).


              Age is a fact, some smarter fans will realize this but smart boxing fans are pretty rare and they will be drowned out by people talking how Shane is to big, to good a boxer ( ), to fast, to strong and how Floyd downright fears Mosley. After the fight said people would be singing a different tune, while the smarter sect would be proven right.

              I think straight up Floyd-Shane would be a boring ass fight, I still want to see it though as the build up would be golden and I have wawnted to see it for years so I do want to see it even if I think the fight will not be that good I want to know that.
