    That's how someone who hates on a particular fighter would look at it like. But the reality is Mosley fighting Winky and Vernon Forrest when he did stylistically were risks in themselves. Is Williams a dangerous fight for Mosley? Maybe, maybe not. From Williams' last fight I can say he's not this menacing fighter people make him out to be. High output, **** defense, lack of power. Mosley isn't afraid to fight Williams, though he may be afraid to look at the paycheck he'd get from fighting Williams.

    Calling Shane Mosley a ducker is blasphemy truthfully. Even coming back into the WW division he's fought more top ten WWs than Floyd has up to this point and is fighting yet another young champion in Andre Berto. He isn't necessarily going for Jan Zaveck is he?

      All the real fans know Floyd tried to make a fight with Mosley right after Mosley beat Vargas. But Mosley had a toothache & wanted to spend more time with a wife he divorced a little later.

        The reality is Mosley vs Floyd was not going to happen before De La Hoya vs Floyd. Oscar wasn't going to risk his own big payday with Mosley potentially killing his golden goose. Call it a catch 22 with Mosley and Oscar being in business together? Could be, but Mosley's never been anyone to hide from a challenge as his career has shown already. The same reason Floyd never fought Cotto is the same reason Floyd and Mosley never fought back then, hence why I don't think Floyd ever ducked Cotto more than Cotto not yet being in the right position to make a fight between them 2 a huge event.

        Mosley vs Mayweather will happen in 2010 being Mosley beats Berto. That's the next biggest payday both guys can get right now.

          I have to stop you.....

          I dont HATE or dislike Shane.......

          If all you think of Williams is "High output, crap defense and lack of power"......thats how someone who hates a particular fighter would look at.

          See what I did there.

Schaefer himself said it in an interview which was published here... after the Baldomir fight which was in November if I'm right... he had that offer on the table... DLH said that he had the first choice... but he wanted to go on vacation with his familiy... so DLH took the fight... even though the fight happened a half year later... I think that Shane ain't needed that long for an vacation but he said NO... these are the facts... what you make of it is up to you...

            Somebody probably link the article...
