i would say that it is safe to say that floyd was cornered into fighting shane, because with shane being available after the berto fight being cancelled it would look like floyd was ducking if he were to fight anyone else.
floyd was being forced by public demand.............. had he not taken the fight with shane being available, then you know good and well that floyd would've been lambasted even more for his match making.
so yes he was forced and like i said, forced by public demand, and if not, he would've gotten torn to shreds and really scrutinized over his resume, more so then now with people picking it apart.
bottom line, everyone knows shane wanted the fight and that it was left up to mayweather to sign, even with all his new rules of engagement..... shane jumped through every hoop and was willing to do so. so had floyd not taken the fight......... it would be a duck.
because i'm willing to bet the house that floyd would much rather fight someone else for a payday, campbell, malignaggi, M. hatton......... you have to remember that those were names being tossed out as possible opponents, all while shane was there too......... who knows what all mayweather and his team really wanted, but fight fans wouldn't stand for it had floyd not taken this fight with it being available.
no one put a gun to his head and said fight shane or else, but the public was about to turn their back on mayweather had he not taken this fight........ except floyd diehards that wouldn't care if floyd fought hatton again or ivan calderon for that matter.Comment

it makes no sense to say he was forced to fight mosley. \
wouldn't he be more forced to drop the ost and fight manny since that fight is way more wanted?
it's funny he's ducking or being forced why couldn't he be forced to fight cotto or margarito?Comment
