Why did Floyd wait until Shane was nearly 40 to fight him?

[[ DUBBZZ ]]

Well, there's always Paul Williams, who's in his prime.

But although Floyd has fought many smaller, older opponents like Marquez, he'll NEVER fight a younger, bigger man than himself.

And the money? Williams would be a great fight and I'd love to see it but we're talking about "Money" Mayweather here. He ain't exactly the bravest fighter in the world. The dude called him out in public, if he didn't fight Shane, his pusssy status would be off the charts.

Because Shane didn't want none when Floyd was an up and comer.

Why did Floyd duck Mosley in 2007, after Shane's win over Collazo?

Did Mayweather want Shane to be a few years older before facing him? I think Floyd is reluctant to fight Shane even now.

he had no choice , tunney.

hbo refused to pay for mayweather-campbell , mayweather-matthew , mayweather-malignaggi , etc.

when berto pulled out , hbo pushed for him to fight mosley. he had no choice. hbo/mgm grand was already upset that he killed the pacquiao fight.

he had no choice but to take on mosley really.

we all know this.

You clearly have accused Mayweather of ducking Mosley in the past. Now when he signs to fight him, you say he should fight Williams lol. Williams would destroy Mosley, but I'm pretty confident that Mayweather beats Williams pretty easy. I think Mosley gives him a tougher fight.

Whether if this took place now or 2-3 years ago Shane would be considered old...

why do *****s keep bringin up the toothache???like there was any chance shane would admit dlh is his daddy and he wanted floyd first.............

from my understanding , shane didn't turn down the fight he asked for more time.

he didn't say , "no i won't fight you my tooth hurts."

he just asked for another date.

shane didn't duck floyd.

the only time floyd-shane ever made sense would have been in recent years.

in 1999 mosley moved up to 147 and floyd barely had just won a belt at 130.
