    I have a gut feeling just as I did when the initial Pacquiao/Mayweather negotiations went by seemingly smoothly that this fight will never happen. I just don't see Floyd actually stepping in the ring with Mosely. You guys can call me a Floyd hater and all that but I'm just stating the obvious.....this is the first elite welterweight Floyd has ever fought (unless you consider Judah elite). I see Floyd coming up with another mysterious injury in training camp, forcing Mosely to take another fight just to remain active. Fact of the matter is....Mosely isn't quite faded enough like DLH was when he fought Mayweather, for Floyd to actually get in the ring with Shane....and Floyd's win over Oscar was far from dominant. I really don't understand how Floyd has any fan base left after this unprecended amount of cherry picking and ducking he's done the last few years.

    I will believe this fight is happening when Shane and Floyd are in the ring. Floyd has a way of screwing these things up in favor of someone he cherry-picked.

    Floyd called out shane and shane had a tooth ache. He fought oscar at 154 and beat him ricky hatton knockout castillo and called out mayweather and got knocked out carlos baldomir beat zab judah and floyd beat him. Zab judah considered a threat to mayweather and mayweather beat him he called for cotto and they said cotto was to green so I don't know about the cherry picking

    The fight will happen, and it will happen for the exact reasons that you said it wouldn't, which is customary on this board. 1. Mosley isn't elite. Not anymore. He has done a fantastic job pairing himself with slower, sluggers like Cotto and Margarito, but he hasn't beat a good boxer in year. 2. Anyone who's knows the sport know Mosley is looking for a big payday to retire on. That's why he's been waiting around and confronting Floyd in public, something a younger Mosley never did. The man is desperate and he knows he doesn't have a snowballs chance in Hades of winning this fight.

    fraud called out Mosley? yeah like when he supposedly called out Margarito to skip the Gomez fight to fight Floyd. Yeah okay. some people act like floyd would never ever tell a lie and everything he says is 100% truth.

    come on

    Im pretty surprised as well and although you can call me a Floyd hater, ive been pretty impressed with his actions in the last 2 months. I really doubt he didnt want to fight Pac and nobody is forced to fight anybody especially Floyd. I cant say the same for Pac

    So Floyds dipped out of a contract and fought someone else before?

    When did this happen?

    They both GBP fighters so that's the only thing that makes me believe they might.

    Not another one of these threads, first of all what other fight has Floyd announced that he hasn't gone through with?

    Even with the rib injury he STILL fought JMM

    Time to grow the f0ck up,

    oh bull**** anybody can make **** up, the whole WORLD was asking for cotto-mayweather and as soon as May caught flak for going to rematch dlh instead of fighting cotto he took the easy way out and "retired".
