    All of a sudden I have lost interest in a Shane-Floyd fight.

    And it's all because we don't really know how Shane is gonna look whenever he fights again. That to me is a ? mark. Now if he looks good and destroys Berto like he's supposed to, then I'll be craving for this fight again. But Mosley has shot himself in the foot big time by having high standards about who he should fight where name recognition is concerned. Both Mosley and Williams looked really impressive in their last fights, so they are even where that is concerned. But Williams is gonna have the edge as far as people knowing where he's at after seeing how effectively he can perform after he fights Martinez. The thought runs across my mind that the Mosley that fought Mayorga shows up against Floyd and gets outboxed by a wide margin.

    Ask yourself this guys. Do you think that Paul Williams would struggle with Mayorga the way that Mosley did? I think we need to demand this fight if Williams blows out Martinez. Remember guys, we have to demand it. We can't be giving Mayweather a pass for going after a small guy like Pacquiao.

    I'm not one of these people who use Paul Williams as Floyd's club bouncer to defend him from ****. But Shane Mosley is gonna look like a straight up dumb ass if Berto decides to go into another direction because Paul Williams offered him a $3 million payday and Mosley turned it down. Who is he gonna fight if the Berto fight doesn't get done? He's also getting less money against an opponent who is perceived as less of a threat. This tells me that maybe Mosley is not the guy best suited for the task.

    I really think the best think for Shane would be to stay active. He hasnt fought since January!

      It's the fight that matters most at WW. Mr boat buyer ain't deserve the #2 ranking at WW for beatin a LW, but **** it. That fight makes a new world champion. It needs to happen ASAP, but it never will.

          If it doesn't happen till Mosley is in his 40's and Shane keeps this level of inactivity between now and then, I don't want to see it either.

            It's hard to show interest in a fight that will probably never happen.

              I've never really been interested in a Shane fight. The Margarito fight was smoke and mirrors. Shane is done and will lose to Floyd. I just want them to fight for the sake of watching two elite WW go at it.

                Yeah, that's true. Mayweather lost the desire to be a great champion a long ass time ago.

                  Only matters to me in that people will stop mentioning it. Other then that, from the start I've said Shane doesn't have a shot and he doesn't.
