Floyd Mayweather’s Fear Of Facing Mosley Is REAL
February 1st, 2010 | by Defyance Carlos Cinco

Yes, you heard me. Floyd Mayweather’s fear of facing “Sugar” Shane Mosley on the 1st of May is legit. In fact, I believe Floyd Mayweather is scared to fight anyone who has remotely any capabality of hurting him, let alone in his division. I know what you are thinking. How can a professional prize fighter be afraid to go out there and do his job, which is to physically subdue his opponent using sanctioned violence? It is your job as a boxer to deliver the pain and punishment against the opposition and part of that job is to take your own dose of damage. So why is Floyd Mayweather scared you ask? Because he lacks experience in fighting the best out there.

Yes, he may have fought Jose Luis Castillo, Diego Corrales and Zab Judah. But that was more than 4 years ago! Since then, he has fought a myriad of tune-up fights packaged as marquee matchups via clever marketing strategy and “hype”. In his fights over the past 4 years, he has gone largely untested. Mayweather likes to run his mouth saying how great he is but anyone with any sense can tell what’s really going on, his excessive braggery is a guise for his lack of self confidence. It’s why we have internships, because you just can’t do the job well until you’ve been met with some challenges and passed the tests.

Mayweather’s last 3 fights over the last 4 years:

1. VS Oscar Dela Hoya (Dela Hoya was over the hill when Mayweather fought him just as much as when Pacquiao fought him, he was also really really slow) RESULT: Not a legitimate challenge.
2. VS Ricky Hatton (Hatton being perfect for Mayweather’s style, the smaller man having to move up to a weight division he was not comfortable in) RESULT: Not a legitimate challenge.
3. VS Juan Manuel Marquez (An even smaller man than Hatton, forced to move up two weight divisions, Mayweather also took an extra 2 pound advantage by not following the catchweight) RESULT: Not a legitimate challenge.

We got tricked into buying these PPV’s thinking they were even matchups, when all we were really being sold was that “magic slimming belt that would guarantee you lose 30 lbs. in 3 weeks by not doing anything”.

What’s the point? Nothing really. I just want to say that I believe Mayweather’s fear is real. Hence the delay to sign the contract against Mosley and the demand for an immediate rematch clause. I can’t blame him, anyone would be scared to fight Shane Mosley right now.

He doubts himself just once against Mosley, and Sugar Shane will take him out. I still think Mayweather has the skills to beat Mosley easily because he is THAT gifted of a fighter to earn my respect, but I’m just saying.

Mayweather is scared.

Floyd's not a coward bro. In my view he just isn't selfish. You hear alot of fighters with families say things like they are willing to die in the ring etc etc or do this and do that........Floyd is just realistic....boxing is a dirty business.....no one puts their hand up to look after you or pay you a pension if something bad happens to you. He looks after nubmer 1 and thats him and his family. Number 2 is the fans and the sport. I won't begrude the man for that.

He is a safety first fighter.....if he can win with minimal engagement he will do so....and it's his responsibility to his kids to win in that way if he can. This style of boxing has been drilled into his brain since he was able to walk.....he's not going to suddenly turn into a brawler unless the occassion calls for it. The reason other guys are what you would term "more exciting" is because they can't do what Floyd can. They can't completely outclass a quality opponent for 12 rds and barely get touched....it's not in their skill set. Believe me if a fighter can get out of the way of a shot and avoid getting punched in the face...he will do it.

He is not afraid of Mosley or any fighter for that matter...and he is not afraid of losing...he just doesn't want too....it reduces his bargaining power. It would almost be better if he took a loss early in his career....it would take the pressure off.....i mean seriously he is held to such a high standard (higher than all other boxers) that people can find a fault with all of his 40 wins. Even when he puts on boxing clinics (which i found entertaining) like baldo, JMM he gets criticised for winning all 12 rds and not getting the KO...when most other fighters would just get lavished with praise.

The is not afraid of Mosley, friend. Everyone will see what happens when they get in the ring. Floyd might be more careful than a lot of fighters, but he is still the best in the business and he knows it.

Well, considering he is about to fight Mosley he can't be THAT scared of him.

**fcastro1** · 02-01-2010, 06:47 AM

floyd gets respect for taking this fight.

**MakeDamnSure** · 02-01-2010, 06:48 AM

Floyd is still a chicken. Why would it take him 5 years to fight a 39 year old Mosley?

I mean Pac been at the Welterweight Division in less than a year and he can fight Cotto and Clottey just like that.

Floyd never hard the balls to begin with

**Shadow boxer 3** · 02-01-2010, 06:50 AM

floyd is so scared of mosley that he is actually going to fight him in may
