    But he is scared of never fought anyone in their prime Mayweather....
    Think about what Big Dunn would have you believe. It’s simply not true and it’s obvious.
    Big Dunn never asked anyone to believe this.

    There is a video of Shane responding to Larry merchant about not fighting Floyd because of a tooth issue. Perhaps this poster hasn’t seen it or has forgotten about it.

    Not fighting a particular opponent isn’t always about fear. Most times it’s about finances.

    They chose not to fight Floyd because the financial payout wasn’t worth the risk.

      Shane stepped aside so DLH could fight him. You taking that interview as proof that Shane ducked Mayweather his entire career?

      Who is rewriting history now?

      Edit here to add the following.

      “Financial risk” is something Mosley has never even thought of before. It’s not a part of his vocabulary because he’s an old school fighter who always wanted to fight the best. If he worried about financial risk then he would have fought an immediate rematch with DLH instead of challenging himself by taking on an old nemesis in Forrest. If he worried about financial risk he would have rematched DLH a third time instead of challenging Winky for peanuts.

      Don’t throw “financial risk” around like everyone is a businessman/coward. Some of these guys are actual warriors.

        JR retired rather than facing DLH a second time.

          Floyd when all is said and done will be hovering around top 20 atg. If he gets into top 20 he will have done well. Pac s best of era and top 5.

          Floyd not wanting to be underdog will hurt him. Many think he is overrated and the unbeaten record don't impress people and makes people su****ious in fact. If he had of been underdog and people predicted h ed lose, but Floyd won.
          Then people would apologise and hold hands up, you proved us wrong and are better than we thought, we underrated you.
          But h ed have to be underdog more than.once..Time after time is preferable as it means you took risks

            Hearns 32-0
            Hagler 62-2 undefeated in 11 years.

            Unbelievable...
            Yeah, gotta say it and even though the Hagler win is controversial he made it close enough that I'd consider it a good draw at least.

              Floyd beat more champions than Pac
              Floyd beat Pac easily
              Floyd never lost or drew
              Pac has 7 losses and 2 draws

              There is no coherent argument for putting Pac above Floyd.

                ǸO. You will find Pac stats are way and above floyds. Stop lying
                Pac has beat more champs than floyd. Been a champ !more decades than floyd, has way more wins than floyd, in more divisions and at more advanced age than floyd.

                  Floyd was a fraud. A cheap counterfeit pretender who had the protection of the American establishment which needed a black champ to sell and profit on, as the new Leonard, Hagler, Ali, Curry, Hearns, Whitaker.

                  Floyd was rigged from 140 on up by Haymon HBO, then Showtime, with Sulaiman also on the take. Floyd's confidence was based on knowing he was a protected asset, he knew he was never going to have to fight anyone he didn't want to, who was not paid off.

                  His only real fight was Pacquiao because Moonves forced it. Floyd and Haymon actually intended to duck Pac forever. HBO realized it and dumped the fraud and espinoza and showtime picked up the garbage. Haymon manipulated espinoza to give them the 6 fight $150m contract with the tease that they would fight Pac. Though the plan was to duck Pac forever, too dangeorus.

                  Moonves forced it and so Haymon rigged the judges. Floyd boxed like a coward knowing if he just lasted 12 the judges were bought. Like Lewis Holy 1.

                  Floyd was a total fraud like Wilder. But he never had to face his Fury. Wilder didn't make money so he had to take a risk. Floyd did make money because he beat Oscar and Gatti. If Wilder made money he would have ducked Fury like he ducked Joshua and $120m.
                  You have to get out of your mental block. Only someone who just blindly dislikes someone would say someone like Floyd was a fraud. You have to wake up.

                    Right on Bro. You ever notice how high of a standard haters and critics set for Floyd. They treat his tough fights worse than every other boxer's losses.

                      Pac lost the legacy defining fight. Can run away from it. That is fact. Was not gracious in defeat instead chose to use an injury suffered in the DelaHoya fight as an excuse. We know that Pac threw that right a night. I respect your love for Manny and disdain for Floyd. We're only human and emotions can cloud judgment. But just say you like Manny more instead of making a statement that he was the best of his era when he clearly wasnt
