    Probably would,. Anyway the point of this thread is to point out that Shane Mosley never ducked anyone, i think that other things like the Margo/Floyd discussion or whoever is debatable either way.

    thats the excuse to duck margarito.

    he could have finished the contract and still fight dela hoya.

    pedjr will always find a way to duck risky fights.

    when he cant, he will drain em, bloat or outright cheat em.

    duck risky/tough fights at all cost.

    if "old grandpa" mosley put a beating on margarito imagine what a full fledged junior middleweight delahoya would do to him.

    delahoya was a much more dangerous fight then margarito ...

    Look what Doug Fischer had to say about the two;

    A prime Sugar Shane Mosley vs. Floyd Mayweather – when this fight was first talked about in the late 1990s (’98-99), back when Floyd had the WBC 30-pound belt and Shane held the IBF 135-pound strap, I favored Mayweather (believe it or not). I knew that Mosley had to seriously drain himself to make the lightweight limit and if he couldn’t whack Mayweather out early, I thought he’d fade over the second half of the fight. Also, Mayweather’s classic stand-up one-two combo boxing style always troubled Mosley. A stiff, educated jab disrupted Mosley’s rhythm. Still, it would have been a tough fight for Mayweather due to Shane’s speed, power, physical strength and activity. If they fought at lightweight, I like Mayweather by close decision. If they fought at welterweight, when Mosley first moved up to 147 (late 1999-through-2000, when he still had his lightweight speed and activity, plus the sharper technique he used to exhibit), I think Sugar Shane would have caught Mayweather and taken him out. But Mayweather would have always presented a tough style for Mosley and Floyd always knew it. I witnessed Mayweather aggressively call Shane out backstage at the old Joint (inside the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas) after Mosley knocked out Wily Wise on HBO.

    Here's a third party stating he personally witnessed Mayweather trying to get Shane to fight him. For those that don't know, Mosley fought Wise right before he took on De La Hoya the first time. So it would seem to me that Mosley had no interest in fighting Mayweather when Mosley was in his prime.

    Wasn't a prime Mosley the same as a prime Judah? Never elite IMHO. A prime Margarito was internet hype. Why do people keep talking about that bum? Old man Mosley schooled a prime Margarito but Floyd couldn't?

    QFT...

    All people do is say Floyd fights slow plodders but then claim Margacheato would've been too much for him :patsch

    Punching bag Margacheato's only accomplishment is beating cotto with plastered gloves :hi:

    I am a fan of both SSM and Floyd. Shane was the one who talked about having a toothache:patsch . . . nobody made that up! then he tried to come up with a lame story to cover up what he said live on HBO:bart. Floyd called out SSM SEVERAL times including when they both were at their best weights (SSM=135lb and PBF=130) along with a long list of all the top P4P fighters in his range including Oscar and Zu.

    Floyd told Margo when he approached him to "KEEP WINNING and YOU WILL GET YOUR CHANCE". . . what did Margo go on to do, lose.

    Floyd fought Baldy instead of Margo for several different reasons;

    1) to win the Lineal title
    2) for a career high payday (higher than what he would have go for margo
    3) Get away from top rank who did not want to set up floyd's ultimate goal
    4) a fight with Oscar

    Floyd announced his retirement after the Baldy fight because his hands were causing him trouble among other ailments, saying: "one more fight and I am done."

    He fought Oscar for 30 Mill (which is more than 8mill BTW) and then fought Hatton for about 20mill (which is also more than 8mill BTW and Ricky was someone fools claimed that he ducked).

    He then retired for 20 months, for most fighters today that is 3 fights but since Floyd fights once a year he missed ONE FIGHT. He came back and schooled JMM who was his main rivals Achilles heal.

    Then shut out SSM, who only wanted to fight Floyd after he became a big draw and after SSM had fought Oscar who was also chasing when he had his toothache:deal

    No, Prime SSM really deserved he name Sugar. IMO He ruined himself jumping 140 chasing Oscar and the big Payday.

    Not to mention, does anyone really think that a contract extension was not included in that 8m offer from Arum?? Does anyone really think that he was just gonna let Floyd embarrass Margarito and then walk off into the sunset?? :patsch

    Does the whole tooth ache really matters anymore. The fact is Floyd did not wait for Mosley to get old to fight him, he asked for the fight ten yrs prior. If Mosley tooth ache wasn't a duck, then shortly Floyd fighting a older Mosley wasn't because Floyd didn't want to face him in his prime.

    Shane speaks the truth :

    Q: After you challenged him, a week later, Mayweather wished you good luck in your career which seemed to indicate he’s not interested in fighting you. He also mentioned that he challenged you twice, and he claims that you turned him down back in 1999 and again in 2006. Did you really turn him down?

    A: Like I said, he’s really a liar. He likes to lie a lot. In 1999 there’s a film where he’s fighting in Michigan when he was fighting at 130 and I was fighting at 135, and I asked him, like when HBO does the prefight analysts talk to the fighters before they fight. I talked to him, and hopefully it’s recorded somewhere—I think it was on FX—I asked him, “Are you planning on coming up to lightweight to fight me?” And he said, “No,” He had no intention of coming to lightweight to fight me, he wanted t beat Carlos Monzon’s record. He didn’t want to come to lightweight. That’s when I jumped from lightweight to welterweight to fight Oscar De La Hoya. That was the first incident that he’s talking about, so he turned me down in 1999.

    Now, the other time he’s talking about is when I fought three times—one, two, three, back-to-back-to-back—and they tried to rush me to fight him right away, like two or three months later. I said, give me a month, and we’ll do it like, I think it was in January—I said, “We’ll do it in January”. They wanted to do it in like November or December, and I said, “Give me a month and we’ll do it in January or February.” They didn’t want to do that. So they chose to fight Oscar De La Hoya. I said, “Go ahead and fight Oscar, and if you beat Oscar, then let’s get busy. Let’s do this.” He beat Oscar—he didn’t want to fight me.

    He’s been turning me down. I hate when he continues to say, “Oh, he turned me down because of a tooth ache”. Yeah. I got head butted in that fight that and my tooth was loose that night. They asked me to fight Mayweather and I said, “Give me an extra month, and I’ll fight him.” He didn’t want to fight me, which was cool. He could go and fight Oscar because that’s more money. Okay. That’s cool, but after that fight if you win—fight me. He didn’t want to do that. He chose to retire or fight somebody else. I’m getting tired of that lie! They need to wipe that lie out of there. The reporters and stuff, they keep saying it, so that lie needs to be talked about.


    After you finish reading this , its going to be nothing but crickets from you .
