I don't remember that. Shane is a great win for anyone right now however, I do believe if PBF beats him some will give him little credit and say he was way past his prime like they did when PBF beat Oscar.
I seen that in couple of threads, saying if Floyd fights Mosley, he would be picking another past his prime fighter.
This goes to the point that you didn't realize I was making. People in boxing say **** all the time they don't mean. Last November, Floyd and HBO wanted a Floyd/Shane fight. It would be stupid for them not pursue the fight just because Shane said he had a toothache. If Hatton and Shane took Floyd at his word, they would never get a fight with him. Hatton pursued Mayweather, despite Floyd saying he's retired, and now Floyd is showing interest in the fight.
As a PBF fan wouldnt you wanna see Cotto or Williams Vs. him instead of Hatton. Wouldnt you agree that hes the weakest opponent floyd could possibly go after?:deal
Floyd has callled out shane more then that one instance , he also called out shane before his move from 135 to 147, so lets not act as though this is first.
Of course I'd want to see it, but I'd rather see Mayweather and Cotto fight. Some people don't care much for Mayweather-Hatton since Hatton is an 140 lb. fighter, but I think Hatton will be better @ the weight this time as opposed to the Collazo fight when it was on rather short notice. Plus, it isn't like Mayweather is a very big welter anyway. Two undefeated champions in/close to their primes, a fight that we've waited for since 2005. Hatton coming off one of the top 2 wins of his career. I personally would rather see Mayweather-Hatton than Mayweather-Mosley right now. I don't feel like seeing PBF fight against another mid 30s great who's past his prime (although still dangerous).
I presume he moved up to fight dela Hoya who mas a much bigger and proven name. So, don't really see the point.
he only fought delahoya 4 the money no other reason. Delahoya is evry1's meal ticket to fame and fortune. Floyd didnt care about his name or him being bigger.
