So has Floyd finally become a circus act?

[Bobby Shaw]

beat them while they were already war torn and past their prime. avoided them in their prime. avoided other prime threats. floyd is a disgrace. he's taking his cherrypicking to the ultimate extremes. hahahahahahahaha what a joke.

i think the rumors are true. floyd is on the brink of total complete bankruptcy. he is taking whatever opportunity he can no matter how disgraceful in order to make money.

There is no one Floyd avoided. Floyd wanted to fight Mosley before Mosley fought Winky Wright. Mosley wasn't interested.
He wanted to fight Dela Hoya when they were with Arum. Arum wouldn't have any of it and that's why the 2 of them left Bob. When Floyd fought Oscar he was the WBC champion coming off a great victory against Mayorga.
When Floyd wanted Cotto, Arum refused.
When Floyd wanted Manny, Manny came up with many excuses, drawing blood would weaken him, he could do tests 14 days before the fight, he only wanted urine tests no blood and the list goes on.
Only those who started watching boxing last year believe Floyd fought over the hill fighters. See the number of champions he dethroned.

nice little fictional story. but truth is he avoided many fighters in their prime. him fighting a barely 20 yr old is the pinnacle of his cherrypicking disgracefulness hahahhahahahahahahaaha. too funny. deal with it.

If Floyd was some retired washed up boxer nobody would care.....Guys been doing this for decades just not by a guy who wasn't broke

Who did he avoid?

[Divine Hammer]

Who did he avoid?

prime pac, prime cotto, prime margarito, prime martinez, prime williams, prime mosley, prime khan, avoiding current top ten welterweights, etc. etc.

honestly probably missing a few more. he avoided so much. and to say he didn't makes u look like a real floyd worshipper.

[McNulty]

I'm well aware that matches like this have happened before, Ali and Duran have done it before. But it still doesn't make it any less of a sideshow and circus act and that is what Floyd has degenerated himself to, a sell out and a joke. I will be laughing at the fools who even think about watching it, let alone pay for it.

What do you mean sell out? Sell out to who, himself? He's retired in Boxing and looking to kick áss in other fight sports, I think that's pretty darn noteworthy.

Be happy for him and Boxers because he's showing that Boxing is the supreme fight sport. Kick boxers are weak. I used to beat the shít out of plenty of them sparring. Easy work.

Haters gonna hate I guess.

OUND THE RING
No Mosley for Mayweather

If pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. is waiting to see if Shane Mosley defeats Fernando Vargas in their July 15 junior middleweight rematch before deciding whom to fight in the fall, he shouldn't bother.

Mosley this week shot down the notion that he could be next for Mayweather, who intends to fight Nov. 4 on HBO PPV, even though he has no opponent at the moment.

"They can stop thinking about that because it won't happen," Mosley said during a conference call with reporters to discuss the fight with Vargas. "They can come to this fight and check it out, but that won't happen in November. It will probably happen sometime next year. I am not going to have a fight after this until next year. I won't fight again until 2007."

Oscar De La Hoya was Mayweather's first choice, but he recently announced he would not fight until at least May 2007. Now Mosley has slammed the door on a fall fight with Mayweather, increasing the pressure on him to fight the one top opponent who has already agreed to terms: welterweight titlist Antonio Margarito.

Mosley's take on what Mayweather should do:

"Basically, go fight Margarito," he said. "Go fight Margarito -- then we can fight the winner."

Mosley said he is moving back down to welterweight after the Vargas fight and wants time to get reacclimated to the division he once ruled before targeting Mayweather.

"I'm pretty sure that Floyd would be interested in it, but I have to take some time to get to 147," Mosley said. "I have to take a little break after two fights with basically a 160 pounder [Vargas]. We are going to relax and see where we go from here, but definitely, the next fight will be at welterweight."

[Divine Hammer]

look. ur hero avoided many tough prime fighters. that's just the truth. prime pac, prime cotto, prime margarito, prime paul williams, martinez, mosley etc. etc. u can bring up whatever propaganda article u want. but facts are facts. fact is he waits until guys are far past their prime and war torn before facing them.

ur hero is a fraud and he is going a step further by picking on a 20 yr old flyweight non-boxer hahahahahahahahahhaa. worry about defending ur hero's failing reputation rather than his past cherry picking.

This is just more proof that Mayweather shouldn't be considered a TOP 25 All Time fighter. Fought guys well before and well after their Primes, fought McGregor, who wasn't even the best boxer in the UFC and now is looking to fight a kickboxer in Japan. I hope it's a kickboxing match. Either way, Floyd is a tool and deserves the disdain that a massive amount of the boxing community has towards him.
