    hahaha. excellent point. Shane has fought EVERYBODY!!!, including Wright & Forrest, who no one else wanted to fight. Now, tell me who is the best welterweight floyd has fought? Especially since he's been a welter for several years.

    ...

    Now floyd is ducking shane. How come when Hatton and Marquez called him out PBF jumped at the chance? Shane got right up in his face, supposedly disrespecting him and called him out. But, Floyd don't want none of that.

    Well that's why I said that I really wouldn't hold it against floyd if he took this fight. It's a ridiculous fight and an epic mismatch that he will win easily but so many people are blinded and demanding it that if he doesn't fight pacquiao people will accuse him of ducking him plus you can't leave that kind of a payday on the table.

    It's not so much that Mayweather would have so much to gain by beating Mosley. it's just that he would gain more with him than any other fighter outside of pacquiao. Leave the past in the past. At one point Floyd said that him and zab were too good of friends to ever need the money enough to fight each other but when it came down to it, the fight was made. Oscar said he would never fight Fernando because he didn't want to reward his **** talking but the fight was made.

    If Pacquiao loses to Cotto, The mosley fight is the only fight that makes sense.

    If Pac loses to Cotto, things will get really interesting. This will help Mosley get his shot.

    Margarito had the WBO title sure it wasnt linear but you all know margarito was at that time a much better fighter than Baldimor and Judah to say other wise is to basicly lie.

    Baldimor v Margarito would have been a good fight.

    heres the thing floyd wanted a name for his self so he would fight anybody, shane wasnt supose to be at that weight to begin with he was a junior welter as amature when floyd started calling shane out and complaining about not being a 10 million dollar fighter shane had bones coming out his face and wanted out he faught some guy for the 1st time as a ww i beleave kod him left it all in the ring guy had 3 losses and never been kod and the rest history shane never looked back he was on a path to oscar and could care less of floyd. shane was cryn how vernon forrest beat him and oscar won and there for in the pros oscar was the 1 and he was nobody
    now he needs the new oscar delahoya but floyd not budging..... later.....
    just like shane did him

    No, he didn't. They never made an actual offer - it was just Floyd in the press.

    so basically the general consensus is that mosley didnt fight floyd in 99 cos he had a mega fight in the works with de la hoya

    HELLOOOOO floyd has a potential fight with pacman! the two best p4p fighters around today!

    Baldimor would have got stopped he doesnt have any power Tony would just walk right through him.

    Judah over Margarito? get serious already this guy lost to Baldimor was damn near stopped in that fight and Badlimor can not crack.
    I know you beleive Tony cheated his entire career okay, okay I feel ya, and I am going to assume you think he did so in the Cotto fight, which is coo think of it that way, it just goes to show that even an in shape Tony with Bricks in his gloves had to bang away for 10 rounds to get Cotto out of there, Meaning Floyd would not come close to stopping Cotto he would break his hands first.:hi:

    true margo got a chin it took 10 rounds of mosely haymakers to stop him
    but My thing is I dont think margo can crack either he hit shane with the same punches he hit cotto with.

    I really dont know what to make out of that cotto fight except margo takes a good punch and cotto learned to never abandon the body attack that got him there

    without the bricks i dont think margo beats zab but then again somebody would have to show zab how to fight to the best of his abilities his offense is there his defense is off due to his emotions he takes to much risk

    i guess my opinion based off potential margo peaked and added on to it lol

    Here is what Shane made out of the Cotto Margarito fight, you dont waste movement, Cotto used that Bike the entire time, when you know that Margarito is a slow starter and picks it up the 2nd half watch the Mosley Margarito fight in which Shane just turns Tony and throws them Right hand bombs.

    and I wasnt talking about Shane needing ten rounds to get Tony out of there I was talking Tony (Who you said loads his gloves) and with Loaded gloves it took him ten rounds of abuse to get Cotto out of there, Now imagine Floyd with no loaded gloves in there with Cotto.... I dont see Floyd stopping Cotto, he couldnt even stop Marquez and thats something he should have been able to do especially after he dropped Marquez.

    Here is something you already know, you dont need bricks to hurt Judah ask Baldimor that and Cory Spinks that...

    That was actaully Joel Judah saying that about Zab. When he stated that he was sure that Shane and Zab would have a mega fight down the road but that he boy wasnt ready at that point.
