    Richard Schaefer has said that Al Haymon has told him that Floyd is not interested in facing Mosely.

    It's only fair Shane turned down PBF on HBO to get his tooth fixed and go on vacation. Not to mention the small part about PBF being retired might have something to do with it.

    I would've loved to have seen this fight. However, it seems like Floyd is serious about retiring. Even if he does want to come back, fighting Shane after a year and a half or more of inactivity isn't a very smart idea.

    No surprise there, Floyd knows the world wants to see Mayweather-Gatti 2 instead.

    :lol: That was so damn lame.

    Floyd doesn't really need this fight right now, the biggest fight out there for Mayweather is still a Pacquiao showdown. I think that's the only thing that could lure him out of his suppossed retirement.

    What's lame about it? It's the truth. Did you not see Shane turn down PBF on HBO? It's been well documented and posted here before.

    I think he was saying it was lame how Shane turned him down, not your post was lame. :deal

    And I don't pay too much attention to that anyway. That was more business than anything else. He knew Oscar wanted the fight. :deal

    Don't blame floyd here. Shane would be a tough fight and PBF would get not get much credit if he beat him. Cotto beat Shane not too long ago so then floyd would have to fight Cotto. He only wants maybe one for fight and it will be with someone like Pac or Cotto.

    The timing has always been bad with these two.
