    Floyd's done with fighting, that's why he retired in the first place. He wanted to retire undefeated. The only reason he came back was because he needed money. He wanted to take the fights that would make him the most money with the least amount of risk. Now that he's got money, he ain't rushing to get back in that ring. He definitely doesn't wanna fight Pac...too risky.That's why he spends so much time hating on Pac, he wants to convince people he's better without actually having to fight him. Now, if he sees any weakness in Pac during the Mosley fight, he MIGHT decide to grow some balls and agree to fight Pac, but if Pac destroys the man that rocked him and lasted 12 rounds with him, we will never see Floyd in the ring again.
    Thats what I thinks gonna happen. *****s claim Pac is cleaning up Mayweathers scraps but the fact is hes winning better, faster and way more impressively than Floyd. So I would say that since May and Pac both fought Mosely within a year that there could be some comparisons drawn from the two fights.

    However, If Pac destroys Mosely Floyd will probably never ever get in the ring with him..... If Mosley wins Floyd will say he doesnt deserve to fight him..

      If you don't adapt that is how you end up like Roy Jones.

      Why the hell would he need Mosley to reveal Pac's weaknesses. We've seen Manny in trouble so many times its rediculous. He's been in trouble even in some of his most impressive wins. The jury is not out on that so try the next reason and the next reason "Floyd allowed this fight to happen". You will run out of reasons and settle on the truth about it eventually. I dont think Pac is picking on Mosley anymore than I think Floyd is scared of Pac. This fight not happening because of things between guys in suits not boots and gloves. If it were anything of the sort wouldnt it be easy to argue that Pac waited on Floyd to dismantle Shane first. How about we say the situations cancel each other out and talk strategy and execution of game plans rather than **** we really havent got any consistent facts about. The fight will happen and the truth will be undeniable afterwards.

            I dont think he's done, when i think of Floyd i think of SRL a little bit, how he left came back and then only fought the biggest fights... Once Pac get over this stumble block called SSM, im almost certain he and Pac will fight, you heard it here first before the end of 2011!!

              only in the late 90's he put hes heart blood,sweat,tears on the line but as soon as he got some cash the dude was lost no more pretty boy floyd it became money mayweather and thats how he would b remembered for the money not the legacy he should have had......
              You really didnt need to write all that...

              Floyd Mayweather BIG REWARD LESS RISK.. That pretty much sums up your whole paragraph..

                Pac is going to beat Shane better the Floyd. Mark my words... ****m is going to throw in the towel in the later rounds after the beating Pac gives Shane.. Sad but true..

                  To me he just reverted back to a more defensive style instilled by Sr.
                  Its just a smarter way to fight and even you know he doesnt waste motion and it keeps him fresher in the late rounds than any of his opposition. He's never been a runner contrary to some of these Mayhaters(maybe to much against DLH). Its not so much that he is losing his legs but like you said he adjusted. To be a better boxer.

                    Boxing is a sport of Risk/Reward, I think all true boxing fans who analyze talent can agree, Floyd has more natural talent then Pac, However Pac is from a savage land where fighting for food is an everyday thing, so he goes after everyone. Floyd on the other-hand is from a boxing family and has seen then ups-downs ins-and-outs so him fighting so cautiously and picking his fights that way isnt suprising.. He not only wins he dominates, Pac wins but has been dominated, seeing Pac lose wouldnt be as suprising as seeing Floyd lose and he knows this so, he'll wait til the money venue and Pac are right!!! He thinks how he fights

                      too bad pac wont man up andtake the fight.
