Shane Mosley: "Floyd shouldn't diss me, he should be in here fighting"

[D4thincarnation]

"M-m-m-my tooth. I don't know if i can find a dentist in California in the next five months."

Oscar his boss wanted to fight Floyd, and Shane had to step aside, he wanted Floyd in May but Floyd retried, not for the last time.

[Horus]

What was Floyd's excuse for not taking the Mosley fight in 2009?

He is not a PPV attraction.

Maybe Shane just needed to clock up 17 months of ring rust, you that type of ring rust that made Floyd want to take on a blown up super featherweight at 144lbs and still come in over the agreed limit.

2006: MOSLEY TOOTH-ACHE PROBLEMS

it was odd that Mosley would wave off a potential bout with Mayweather back in 2006 after he had defeated Fernando Vargas for the second time. The fighter was asked about the possibility of taking on Mayweather by HBO’s Larry Merchant and Shane, rather oddly, began complaining about a loose tooth and said he would take some time off. Mayweather instead took on Carlos Baldomir, winning a boring unanimous decision and then signed on for a mega-fight with Oscar De La Hoya which he won, again by decision.

Mosley, who had been riding high on the wave of success the Vargas fights had provided for him, was suddenly on the outside looking in. And for a while it looked as though he would suffer from being under the au****es of Golden Boy Promotions rather than benefit from it. He didn’t fight again for seven months until he dropped down from the junior middleweight division to welterweight and took on Luis Collazo in February of this year. He won a clear cut decision but in the build up to De La Hoya – Mayweather he again seemed to be out of the loop.


2006:I’ve been chasing Shane Mosley for ten years.

“The Pretty Boy” told the New York Times after Mosley had destroyed Vargas for a second time that, “He earned the right to fight me by getting that spectacular knockout, but I’ve been chasing Shane Mosley for ten years. But I got to talk to Jin (Mosley’s wife) because she runs the show. We can make the fight happen but she’s the boss of that household.”

Why do these people ignore facts, and instead go on bull**** rumors...
Opinions can be argue
facts cant be disputed.

and the facts points to, that shane duck Mayweather.

2006: Will Mosley Accept Mayweather Challenge

While Mosley (43-4, 36 knockouts) had reason to celebrate, Mayweather (36-0) had other thoughts.

“I’m going to the gym right now when I leave,” said Mayweather, who lives in Las Vegas. “All Shane Mosley did was motivate me. As soon as I leave here, I’m not going home. I’m going to get my bag, and go right to the gym and train.

“I would love to fight Mosley. He makes too many mistakes. The punches come too wide. He uses a pity-pat jab. If you come too wide, I see everything coming, no matter how fast you are. I’ve been hit by some of the best fighters in boxing and walked right through it. It’s not what you can take, it’s what you can dish out. And I’m known for dishing out whippings.”

Mayweather has the confidence that comes from being unbeaten, but Mosley seems to have reached a point in which talent and experience have meshed.

Saturday’s fight was far more one-sided than the first Mosley-Vargas encounter, in February, when Mosley won on a 10th-round technical knockout. That fight was halted because Vargas had a grotesquely swollen left eye, although he was rallying, with a chance to win by decision if the fight had gone 12 rounds.

In the rematch, Vargas looked older than his 28 years, perhaps forever drained by the brutal knockout losses to Félix Trinidad in 2000 and to Oscar De La Hoya in 2002. Vargas (26-4) did not sound ready to retire, but his reputation as an elite fighter has been damaged.

“Congratulations to Shane; it was his night,” said Vargas, who admitted that he had not seen the knockdown punch until he watched it later on a television replay.

De La Hoya has vowed not to fight again until at least 2007, making Mosley the next logical opponent for Mayweather. But a Mosley-Mayweather match is not guaranteed, just because fans may want to see it.

Mosley wants to wait until next year; Mayweather wants to fight in November. Even if they agree on a date, a weight and a location, the financial terms could be even harder to resolve.

Mayweather saw no reason why a fight against Mosley should not materialize.

“He has earned the right to fight me,” Mayweather said. “Mosley’s been ducking me for 10 years now. I’ve been chasing Shane Mosley forever. I can’t keep chasing the guy. I just want to beat the best fighters out there. People talk about me fighting Antonio Margarito next. Antonio Margarito is not a household name. It’s about business. We need guys who can generate pay-per-view numbers.

“I got to talk to Jin, she runs the show,” said Mayweather, referring to Mosley’s wife. “We can make the fight happen. She’s the boss of their household. I’m the boss of my household.”

In the ring Saturday night, the boss was Mosley. Not only did his future look brighter, but that future could also include Mayweather.

Ten Years of Ducking

It also is worth remembering the interminable delays Mosley caused for Mayweather on at least two occasions earlier in their careers, when the fight made all kinds of sense, only for Mosley to shy away.
Ten years ago, when a fight between them would have matched two of the brilliant, rising stars in the sport, Mosley balked. He and his father and then-trainer, Jack, were at Van Andel Arena the night Mayweather brought Grand Rapids its first championship fight, after which Jack Mosley was asked to assess his interest in the matchup.

For $10 million, his son would take the fight, Jack Mosley said, knowing that Mayweather had earned a $150,000 base purse for that night's lackluster decision over Carlos Rios, and that Mayweather-Mosley wasn't worth eight figures even if the purses were combined, then multiplied by two.

They traveled divergent paths for years thereafter. Mosley moved up to welterweight and defeated De La Hoya, only to lose twice to Vernon Forrest. Another win over De La Hoya boosted him again, only to fall victim to a pair of losses to Ronald "Winky" Wright.

It took until mid-2006, after Mosley scored consecutive knockouts over Fernando Vargas, before Mayweather-Mosley made sense again.

Mosley decided to take a vacation instead, leaving Mayweather to fight Carlos Baldomir.

So what would encourage Mayweather, whose eye is on bigger prizes against other marquee opponents, to agree to such a fight now that it benefits Mosley?

Probably nothing.

"Q: Shane talked heavy smack recently, did u peep that? Whatu think bout what he had to say?

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: On Mosley, first off, coming from a known steroid user he ain't even allowed to open his mouth about me. When it comes to money, he really ought to shut his mouth up. I made more money in 2007 than he has in his whole. Him saying we could make money together is ignorant. And that was just two fights. When I say he ain't no PPV attraction, that's a fact not an opinion. He ain't never been able to take his career to the next level and when I wanted to fight his punk a$$ he had a toothache. Those are the facts, next question."

Im good as usual, Trying to get myself to Miami like you.
As for your question.

It not only safe to say, but that is the situation. Mosley is Fighting Pacquiao.
Mayweather is currently fighting nobody, and probably takes a **** twice a day. So as you say, he is on the sideline taking a ****.

But doesnt change the facts that Mosley ducked him for over a 10 year period.

But as for the show, I am trying to get Devon Alexander on next show.
But if he cant come through, I will try to do one this sunday if circumstanes permits me.

How you been my dude?

Shane Mosley: "Floyd shouldn't diss me, he should be in here fighting"





Future hall of fame entrant Shane Mosley has hit back at Floyd Mayweather after his former opponent publicly dismissed his chances against Manny Pacquiao, who he faces on May 7th.

In several interviews over the past few weeks Mayweather has stated that he believes Mosley to be past his best, and that he has no chance of beating Pacquiao. He has also claimed that the only reason Pacquiao and Top Rank chose Mosley as an opponent was firstly because he his abilities have declined, and secondly because they are hoping to outdo his own win over Mosley.

Having beaten Mosley, some would no doubt say that Mayweather is the perfect person to judge what he has left. Given that it was only last year that he deemed Mosley to be a good enough opponent for himself though others would say that Mayweather is merely being disingenuous to spite Pacquiao.
Either way Mosley's opinion of his chances against Pacquiao are predictably different, and speaking to fans ahead of his May 7th bout said of Mayweather:

"Floyd shouldn't diss me he should be in here fighting. Leave me to do his dirty work... That's alright I will see him again"

The first part of Mosley's statement in many ways echoes the sentiments of many fans frustrated with Mayweather's inactivity over the past few years. Since returning to the sport following his temporary retirement after beating Ricky Hatton in 2007, Mayweather has fought just twice, firstly against lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, who was climbing up two weight classes for the bout, and then against Mosley last year.

Of course Mosley's insistence that he will be seeing Floyd again in the ring at some point is largely dependent on two things.

Firstly that he defies the odds and beats Manny Pacquiao. Something that few give him much of a chance of doing outside of catching Pacquiao early and knocking him out as he almost succeeded in doing against Mayweather.
Secondly that Mayweather returns to the sport at all, and that he subsequently then wants to fight Mosley again. Also something that is far from assured given that Mayweather doesn't seem that eager to fight anyone at the moment and that he has shown in the past that he doesn't tend to take part in rematches, having fought the same opponent twice only once in 41 fights (Jose Luis Castillo).

Added to that is the fact that Mayweather currently has at least two court cases pending, firstly for allegedly assaulting a former girlfriend and threatening his children, and secondly for an altercation with a security guard outside his Las Vegas home.

Should Mosley lose to Pacquiao as most are predicting, then his time in the sport might well become limited as Mayweather suggests. A loss now would be Mosley's third consecutive fight without a win after being dominated by Mayweather and later having to settle for a draw against Sergio Mora that he probably should have edged.

I'm sorry...I diddn't catch any of that...I was paying attention to your sig.

[beastboy510]

And pacquiao toughestc fight marquez was tune up 4 floyd

[beastboy510]

Kentucky Floyd's greatest WW win in Shane Mosley is just a tune-up fight for Manny . LMAO!

And pacquiao toughestc fight marquez was tune up 4 floyd

[studentofthegam]

mosley's got more heart than wifebeater... that or debt.... one or the other.... point is mosley is more hungry

Gotta be money.

Manny is clearly fighting the better version of Shane. Fraud would never fight Shane coming off 2 training camps.

How so? We've seen Shane once since and he didnt look any better. Crazy logic.

Boy, dont we Boxing fans have short term memories??????? We all do remember WHY Shane was inactive for so long before the Floyd fight dont we? I do remember 3-6 months after Shane broke Margo off, a certain Boxer calling Shane's name, and if I recall correctly, Shane flat out said he didn't want to fight, he only wanted Pac(Remember, he even asked Pac to let him come in at 142, since they where saying he was too big for Pac ).

Shane was inactive because he was chasing the Pac payday. So lets not ***** on Floyd too bad for fighting Shane, and lets not give Andre too much credit for being the reason that Shane was shelved for so long. Alot of Shane's inactivity had everything to do with HIM(Shane).

Shane could have fought Floyd when he had that massive toothache too. I wish everyone would look at the whole story all the time. Im a floyd fan but I dont make excuses for him. Besides all he said was that he thought shane was over the hill and he is. On the other hand what else was Mosley supposed to say "Yeah he's right. I just need a check" No. He should defend himself.
