    Mosley is committed to Clottey right now isn't he?

    He clearly doesn't want to fight him.

    Highest risk, less money.

    Most probably think Floyd is waiting for the smaller Pac should Pac get by Cotto.

    PBF is waiting for the Pac-Cotto winner.

    Why wait? Shane is available now and got a belt and can make money concession. I'm sure he'll make more money fighting Shane than should Pac get by Cotto.

    Is he really really simply avoiding Shane. I'm starting to really believe this is the case.

    Yeah Floyd Sr, so it's a mismatch right? Ok then it shouldn't happen. Let's see Floyd vs Mosley then. Floyd "don't want" nothing to do with Mosley.

    Let's be real, Mayweather/Pacquiao is the fight everyone wants to see. Fans in general will be pissed if he were to decide to fight Mosley instead of waiting to see if Pac wins first.

    Because with Pacquiao he can lie and say he agrees to the catch weight then turn around and not make weight, he cant do that with Mosley it would be for the WBA Title.

    He should fight Mosley, I love how they put him on front street last night.

    Yep I can hear it now. PBF is ducking the true P4P #1 fighter in Pac or PBF is ducking the man who beat shane already. PBF can't win in this situation.

    I bet you did. Too bad Shane will get another boxing lesson if he fights PBF. Shane is looking for a payday people it's easy to see. Hell he was willing to fight Pac at 140 that's just how desperate he is.
