Should Groves accept 50k to fight DeGale on a December 11th??

I think the Shane Mosley that beat Oscar De la Hoya in the first fight is over-rated too. Oscar was fighting scared that fight. He was too inactive, not using the jab enough. He fixed that in the second fight and won comfortably (IMO anyway). I was saying this before Floyd beat Shane, I'm not saying this **** to discredit Floyd.

 

Yes. They are live welterweights.

 

Why should Floyd get to ignore Top Rank fighters? You're completely inconsistent on this, Rob. Pick one approach and stick to it. If Mayweather wants to be a "great" fighter, he has to fight opponents that will test them.

What else do those three have in common? By the end of the year they'll all have fought each other. Something Mayweather wouldn't even try.

And Mayweather NEVER called out Mosley seriously. Oscar, yes - but Oscar was at middleweight when Floyd was making that noise. He never stepped up to welter like Mosley did. And it was the same for Mosley.

Mayweather “called” Shane out, but there was no offer made. And he waited until it was more or less agreed that Shane would fight Oscar. And that was the fight people wanted, not Shane versus a very talented but unknown guy like Floyd was.

 

Shane Mosley fought Winky-Wright, Fernando Vargas and Vernon Forrest but he was scared of Floyd.

 

That was when Oscar wanted a fight with Floyd. And I also recall there was more to it than that. I'd need to check, or since you made the point point me to a legit source.

 

Not my point. Being outboxed is hardly likely to scare the **** out of a guy like Shane Mosley. Floyd is just not intimidating as a fighter.

It would sure be interesting to see Floyd against Winky-Wright or Vernon Forrest in their prime.

If he's willing to face a much bigger southpaw with a killer jab I highly doubt he was scared of Floyd's shoulder roll.

 

But he wasn't worried about a 5ft 11 southpaw with skills? And then after getting his ass handed to him by said fighter he fights a rematch?

Shane Mosley was in no way scared of Floyd Mayweather which is why he had the balls to face him at 38 years old. Shane Mosley has fought everybody there is to fight, big men, small men, fast guys, power punches, people with great jabs. Unfortuntely he could only get Floyd in there when he should have been in his rocking chair smoking a pipe.

Shane's fought everyone and Floyd has fought no threats at welterweight up until Shane Mosley. So to suggest it was Mosley worried about him is nuthuggery at its finest.

 

Top rank inc.

:yep

 

Shane was scared, when he realised that mayweather has heart and was pushing him back he couldnt believe this is the same floyd that acts like a punk.

Floyd wanted to fight shane at lightweight but he didnt want it then, what can yoyu do :deal
