Who ducked who back in 2000? I'm going to say Floyd ducked Shane. How many times has Shane ducked a fighter?!

Well in 2000 Floyd was at 130, and Shane was at 147... so I don't see how they was going to fight... -
Considering Shane went on to fight Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright at 154lbs, I seriously doubt he was ducking Mayweather at all more than Floyd at the time still making a name for himself.
Didn't Mosley say there was footage of him calling out Mayweather at Lightweight before his fight with Oscar? Or is that what you mean about who's telling the truth?Comment

Before Floyd Mayweather left Top Rank he made it a point to CALL OUT EVERYONE..ALL OF THE BIGGER NAMES THAN HIM....in all of his POST FIGHT interviews(Proof in the Video below), Prince Nassem, Joel Casamoyar, Acelino Frietas, Paul Spadafora, Jose Louis Castillo, Kostya Tszyu, Stevie Johnson, Juan Lazcano, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley, Arturo Gatti, Miguel Cotto, and Ricky Hatton: Coincidentally Mayweather was still under contract with Bob arum/Top Rank.......
It seems to me that Mayweather didn’t get the reputation as a “Ducker” until Bob Arum started spewing it into the media and websites AFTER Mayweather left Top Rank....Bob Arum BITTER about his STAR leaving Top Rank went on a Media Blitz to discredit Mayweather while attempting to push his fighter MARGARITO in the limelight by promoting "fear propaganda" and associating his name to Mayweather's......I mean this is the same Bob Arum that didn't want to put Miguel Cotto in with Mayweather when they were @140lbs and BOTH with Top Rank.....now Mayweather is scared of Cotto?
here is a direct quote from Bob Arum about Floyd Mayweather b4 the Mayweather-Judah fight (which happens to be Mayweather's last fight on Top Rank)
Bob Arum on Mayweather:
"Floyd is the best fighter i’ve seen in 40 years other than the young Muhammad Ali, there are a number of aspects that make a great fighter. One is speed. His speed is phenomenal. The way he throws punches, phenomenal. The way he is conditioned, phenomenal. I mean, he’s the entire whole package. And beside all of those skills he’s the most intelligent fighter that I have ever seen. I mean, Floyd, this is no bull****; Floyd can see a punch coming before the other guy knows he’s going to throw it. Do you understand that? I mean, I have never seen such ring intelligence that Floyd demonstrates. And so he’s the whole package, and you know, Ray Leonard was a great fighter, Marvin Hagler was a great fighter, Duran certainly was great, Oscar had a couple of years where he was very good, but there’s nobody that is a whole package like Floyd."
I wonder why Mayweather wasn't considered a ducker until he bought out his contract for Bob Arum for 750K and made 8 Million vs Carlos Baldomir, 25 Million vs Oscar De La Hoya, 20 Million vs Ricky Hatton????
It's because Floyd got away from him and made millions, appeared on WWE, dancing with the stars, became the face of boxing almost over night, all because Mayweather had the foresight to leave Bob Arum for 750,000 dollars. Its obvious Bob arum hasn’t been able to live it down , he now spends his time trying to verbally destroy mayweather whenever possible!

Mosley was looking at bigger and better things, and Mayweather's name hadn't been established yet so it wasn't ment to be.Comment
