[amayseng]

To further hype their welterweight mega-fight on May 1 in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBA champion Shane Mosley sat down with HBO's Max Kellerman to tape a face to face segment where both fighters would speak on a variety of topics from their decade long rivalry. [Click Here To Read More]

All i know is that when may was talking and you could see shane in the background he had a ****ing fire in his eyes. i know floyd will come to prove he is the best, but i can't help but to lean towards shane because of his fire and determination. i think he will fight with a spirit floyd has never seen before.
i dont see how floyd is gonna pot shot his way to a victory.
look what activity did against clottey for pac, clottey couldnt score or win any rounds because he was on the defense 95% of the time.
i know, i know, no comparing floyd to clottey, and i am not, but i am just stating how activity can easily win rounds against minimal activity.

Are you talking about Manny Pacquiao? The same one that
turned down a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr because of random
blood testing that Shane Mosley is now taking to fight Floyd? and
Andre Berto? The same Andre Berto who has yet to fight a real
threat at WW? Miguel Cotto? The same Cotto who wasn't ready
at 140 for Floyd, only fought for vacant straps all of his career and
even fought for Pwill's WBO title that Paul vacated because he couldn't
get a fight at 147? The title Cotto got for beating Michael "Who"
Jennings? Paul Williams? The same Paul Williams that Sugar Shane Mosley ducked by saying he didn't want none of PWill because their
styles didn't mesh? Antonio Margarito? Now that's a good argument
but I think you can blame Bob Arum for that fight not happening because
the money wasn't right for Floyd. If you don't believe me, check the
sig.

the fact is floyds resume is weak, period. So is Pac's. i dont see how people can defend floyd, he hasnt challeged himself compared to some of the great fighters, and those people on the list that solly6 named are much better than the guys he faced, no matter the excuses.

He is one of the most unintelligent people I have ever seen in front of a camera. A real reporter could ruin him so easily in one interview. He's just to dumb. He contradicts himself all the time and always says the same ****.

when brian kenny challenged him to having a paper belt after the judah lost to baldomir but kept the belt because blad of not paying the sactioning fees, i thought floyds head was gong to explode he got so mad and frustrated.

"40 have tried, 40 have failed"
so tiring..

thats why i can see Pac beating floyd. i also can see floyd dominating with that reach and footwork. i just hope all of these guys fight each other.

i dont think he said anything about Pac. the problems i see with floyd fans and Pac fans are they tend to discredit the other fighter to make their fighter look better. He didnt say Pac was better, he just said floyd avoided fighters which he did.

I think Walker point is that every fighter avoids certain boxers/fighters
when they get to the top because the money ain't right. Can't just
say Floyd avoided people without saying Pac, Shane, Pwill, Cotto,
Margarito did the same. That to me is not fair to put it on Floyd only.
I think the reason why people say Floyd ducked guys like Margarito,
Cotto, Pwill is because they feel these guys would be a challenge or
fighters that can beat Floyd but that can be said about Floyd's other opponents as well and once Floyd beat them then all of sudden they
were washed up or old. Fact of the matter is that Floyd fought unde
feated and ranked fighters and stayed undefeated for 10 years. He
called out all the top guys coming up but the only guy you can really
say wanted something to do with Floyd was Antonio Margarito because
he was the most vocal about fighting him at 147. Mosley didn't want
none until his star started dimming and Cotto has never been really
vocal about fighting Floyd. If people insists on saying Floyd ducked
fighters than there is an argument for fighters ducking him as well
because the door swings both ways.

i agree, however, i dont think pac has the chin or frame to compete with floyd and especially shane. i think floyd ud's pac, due to reach, height and quickness and i think shane knocks pac out in 4. i think a pac shane fight would be a toe to toe war. even tho pac has a lot of power and speed i think shanes chin gives pac problems, he wont be able to deter shane and i think shanes speed and power would be too much for pac. i think pac is special, but not a full ww due to his smaller frame and height...
you are right, these guys all need to fight eachother, that is what the greats did---hagler, hearns, duran, leonard, ali, frazier, tyson, lewis, foreman, holyfield....these guys all challenged themselves to fight the best out there, something floyd hasnt done yet.

drudolphreese, I don't think I called your name; but since you like to defend you felly ******* them by my guess.
Solly have beef against Floyd as so do you; so I say that to say this: Manny can be accused of the very same things and you know it. He ducked Mosley and Mayweather. He only fight against beaten fighters. All you *******s are the same so it's a waste of energy trying to get some sense between your brains.

yea i think shane would knock pac out, his straight right would land all day.

the fact is if we are talking about floyd and shane, than Pac's resume has nothing to do with Floyds resume. i understand what you are saying. but i put it like this. Floyd fights great but he is not a great fighter yet. the reason is this, compared to an all time great, sugar ray leonard, who was retired for 2+ years, came back and fought Marvin Hagler. Floyd was retired and came back to fight JMM, who was 2 weight class under him, made him come up and didnt even make weight. now i love floyds skills, he is the best at what he does, but he just doesnt challenge himself. you can say the same for pac but atleast when he moves up he takes on challenges. if they werent challenges, then why was pac supposed to lose to cotto according to most experts including Floyds people.
