Comments Thread For: Mosley: Mayweather Wouldn't Fight The Guys Who Beat Me

[fcastro1]

I hope mosley knocks mayweather the *** out. maybe then he will fight everyone wihout being a ***** because his 0 is gone.

Why would Floyd fight Vernon and Winky? Makes no sense from a weight and timeline perspective. Shane isn't the brightest bulb in the house.

Cotto. Yes

people forget that shane is a hell of a counter puncher & a crucial body puncher. I can't wait for this one

mosley punches everthing arm's sholder's all that shoulder rollin won't really matter this will be the first time mayweather is going to have to fight i read a post that when money uses both hand's he is dangerous lol yea against face first hatton and unfocus judah but when he fight's a beast like mosley who will put smart pressure and hit everywere he can and will not gas out like hatton are lose focus like judah he will have to fight and i think that's more dangerous for money then it is for mosley

You're taking it too literally. He meant that if Floyd had been in the position Mosley was in, when Mosley took those fights, Floyd wouldn't have taken those fights. A relevant recent analogy is this: Floyd has repeatedly been called out by PWill but hasn't responded.

all meyweather fan's say's he chase mosley and was trying to get a fight so if that was true he would have to ww and he would have had to fight those guy's that's why it does make sense forest and mayorga was in ww when he was a jr ww right why go to jr ww if you was chasing mosley for a fight ?hmmm winky i don't think he should have got in the ring with but shane started his career at a lighterweight and he did it so i guess we see who has ball's right real fighter's get in the ring with anyone while he was fighting winky money was fight baldy and judah lmao

On point. I know exactly how you feel. Its just that no matter what Mayweather does people will hate. When and if Mayweather fights Pac and wins, they will down play that and move on to PWILL or someone at MW or SMW etc etc etc... Pacs name will have fallen off the face of the earth if Floyd beats him.

To be fair, Wess, very few people (even including Floyd haters) are claiming Mosley is shot. Most people (even including Floyd haters) regard Mosley as the #1 or at worst the #2 Welterweight, and regard him as Floyd's biggest challenge since at least Oscar and possibly since Castillo.

The reason some (not just haters) aren't giving Floyd full props for taking this fight is that they feel he was more or less forced into taking it when Berto pulled out, because he'd have lost all credibility if he'd fought anyone else, especially as Pac had agreed to fight a live Welterweight in Clottey, and without a catchweight.

And although I do give Floyd props for taking the fight, I also think people have a point, to a certain extent, when they say that, for two reasons.

1) Mayweather-Mosley could and really should have been made for January instead of Berto-Mosley. Mosley only took the Berto fight because he couldn't get a fight with Mayweather.

2) Until Pac took the fight with Clottey, there were all sorts of weird stories that Floyd was planning to take a tune-up fight with a nobody (Malignaggi and even Matthew Hatton were saying they'd been approached by his team and he never denied the stories). So I don't think it's completely unfair to conclude that it was only when Pac agreed to fight Clottey that Floyd realised he'd have to fight a top Welterweight next or he'd lose the PR battle with Pac and he'd lose his credibility.

When Mosley puts that power shot to Mayweathers face you will see him either fall or see fear in his eyes.. You could beat Shane in the nice head all day with a sledge hammer and he won't blink. Shane is up for this and is going for it...

This is the end of Mayweather's OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!

So what did Vernon Forrest have in his gloves cuz Mosley def blinked when Forrest dropped him

He was groggy from the accidental clash of heads.

Miguel Cotto fought and won PWill's belt at 147 without
fighting The Punisher. Also, Mosley flat out said he doesn't want
anything with Paul Williams. Why all the weight on Floyd shoulders
to fight PWill when Cotto and Mosley didn't want to?
