    It kind of goes without saying that overall WW career would be in Mosley's favour. That's rather obvious. We were talking about WW rankings in 2008/9. Beating DLH a decade ago doesn't mean Mosley should have been ranked above Cotto - a guy who he had recently lost to.

    Anything PBF does will be marginalized. Theres always a reason to hate this guy. But I guess that s what keeps people interested in the sport and keeps it buzzing so I wont complain. Just hope that the Pac fight happens this year.:rasta

    Please I'll give the Pretty Pretty Boy his due for fighting Mosely... It's just how many years late this supposed fight should've happened??? Hmmm, I wonder if "Crackhead Sr" and the Mayweather camp will insist that Mosely take an Olympic style drug testing??? Probably not, it's more likely that Jr would turn "white" first...:hi:

    Well when he wanted to fight Mosley many years ago, Mosley kept ducking him making excuses so now Mayweather is on some **** you **** since he became bigger than Mosley without even facing him. But time is up, and Mayweather will school Mosley. Mosley has a chance, but I just don't see him winning.

    Do I see Mosely winning, too??? Highly unlikely... that's why supposedly Mayweather would take this fight, but I'll believe it when I see it. It would definitely be better than that PHONY FIGHT between Mayweather and Marquez. :yep

    LOL by pretty good source I meant that he is from Grand Rapids and tends to have accurate info about Mayweather.

    Agreed that article is **** aside from info about 5/1 fight.

    This is what I was hoping all along would happen. Although I genuinely think Berto has a great shot at beating Mosley.

    Does this mean no March fight for Mayweather though?

    That would be the most stupid idea ever.
    If he fights on march 13th, the guy he fights has to be more exciting than Pacquiao.

    Yes and everyone wins here (especially Golden Boy); HBO signs on for the Pac/Clottey fight and maintains relationship with Top Rank.

    Mayweather fights the biggest fight he can other than Pac.

    5/1 Golden Boy event will likely be massive with Floyd/SSM, JMM on one undercard with Khan and Malignaggi on the other.

    This card destroys "The Event" and will likely have double the PPV buys.

    yeah sure. Mosley still has a fight with Berto.. I don't believe it until Floyd is in the ring.
