[The Big Dunn]

Not only is Gayweather broke but he ain't risking himself against a mandatory at 147... Phuking piece of Shiet chicken!!

Pacs mandatory wasn't clottey.so your point is?

[pistol whip]

Big deal. The winner is boxing's rightful #1 WW fighter.

I always thought you had to beat the #1 fighter to take his place. When did boxing become collage football?

So then who is #1?

A nontitle fight with a re-match clause? WTF is this all about? Mayweather doing this just in case he wins...if he wins, so he does not have to defend the belt for any mandatory challengers that are very High risk for him. Typical Floyd.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has confirmed that Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley, scheduled for May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, is technically a non-title fight. The WBA's welterweight title will only be at stake for Mosley, because Mayweather has refused to pay the necessary sanctioning fees. [Click Here To Read More]

I think its a fair question.

How Floyd has never come in over 147. So what’s your reasoning? Beside he came in at 146 vs. JMM. That’s still not over 147, and no I’m not making excuses cuz I believe Floyd never planned on coming in at 144; but with that said the man has never come in over the WW limit. So what’s your reasoning?

Would you really want to see him fight the winner of Souleymane Mbaye-Antonin Decarie?

The best opponent for him to take is Pacquiao, and he can't be a mandatory since he has another belt.

at least with the WBC you can hold onto it for life when you are in good with the organization. guys like de la hoya and tszyu went years without defending their wbc title in certain instances.

but the reality is that they will force a mandatory. vacating it after winning would be the likely scenerio. the only issue that will arise out of this is that shane mosley effectively becomes zab judah post baldomir if he loses

[gingeralbino]

So then who is #1?

ring rankings
1 pac
2 mosley
3 floyd.
