I know I'm not the only person that remembers when Floyd called Shane out last year and wanted to fight him before Oscar. Shane is the 1 who turned down the fight last fall. He said he didn't wanna fight again that year after the 2 Vargas fights. All the Floyd haters seem to have conveniently forgotten that though.
And you really think DLH was going to let his employee, Shane, get first shot at the undefeated top fighter? Gullable much?:roll:
Yup, and Delahoya making shane pass on the fight so he could fight him we dont know that, there is no proof to that. Delahoya nor shane has admitted to that. So we have to go on facts, and the fact of the matter is, Shane turned down a fight with Floyd. And when he turned it down he didnt sound like some1 told him to. He made xcuses. He need to see a dentist, his tooth hurt. right now he doesnt know. So going from facts, Floyd aint scared, and shane turned down the fight
wheres the proof for that statement. Nobody can prove that. We can all think what we want but there is no prrof to that. People believe OJ did it lol. But wheres the prrof. So without either Shane or Oscar admitting that. The fact of the matter is that Shane turned down the fight period.
Alright that's fair, where's the proof Floyd REALLY wanted Shane? Because he said so? Because he called him out? WHere's was the contract? What was the pot split? How did Shane turn down a fight when all Floyd did was say his name? Whar does that mean when Floyd turned down a fight several times w/ Margarito where Arum not only had dollar amounts for his fight but a place and date as well? And why is Floyd now saying he won't fight Shane because he's a sparring partner? Isn't Shane now trying to get him in the ring? Too many people make a big deal out of "calling someone out". This isn't pro wrestling.
Maybe you need to learn something about business Reg. Rule #1, don't bite the hand that feeds you. Shane has a bright future AFTER boxing because of DLH. He'll have opportunities he likley would not have. Didn't you guys notice the sort of smirk and smile Shane had when he said he had a 'tooth' problem?
That's fine, if he wants to be a business man then he can be a business man. However, he can't expect people to fight him when it's completely convienent for him. He had a chance to fight Floyd, and he turned it down to satisfy Oscar. Now he's getting turned down for the fight he wants for business reasons.
How do we even know he had a chance to fight Floyd? Because Floyd said Shane's name? If I remember, didn't Floyd ALSO call out DLH sveral times? So Floyd called out both guys, Floyd called out Winky Wright, then what? Was he going to fight ALL THREE at once? I know, that's dumb. Just pointing out how ridiculous it is to go by a fighter calling out another. Did Floyd have his promoter offer Shane a fight legitimately? Did they draw up a contract and contact Shane's manager? Doubtful. So WHY are you giving Floyd so much credence towards him calling out Shane when he called out more then one fighter? For all you know, he had NO chance to fight Shane due to Shane's boss, WHO floyd called out as well remember? If Floyd is now turning down Shane due to 'business', then he needs to grow the **** up.
I dont think Floyd is scared of Shane, come on now Shane is in his mid 30's and really has been beaten by Oscar in the rematch according to Floyds uncle and trainer Roger Mayweather. I dont see any reason why Floyd would be affraid of shane, if he is affraid of anything, it would be the small purse he would get for fighting shane when he can make bigger money fighting Hatton or Cotto at this point.
Floyd and HBO wanted that fight but Shane said he was taking the year off. And you're the one who implied that Shane turned down the fight to appease his boss. So then I guess you feel he needs to grow up too.
I never said he did it stricly to appease his boss. I said that is likely factor. And HBO doesn't want it today? So he was taking a year off. So what? You seem more interested in petty comments and 'retaliation' instead of watching a fight that could be great involving your hero. What's with you Floyd boys? Because Hatton, Cotto, and SHane said no once, that's it? Don't you want to see your hero fight? Or do you want to him call out people and get an instant win when they say no? And what about him calling out DLH as well? Why don't you address that? Is it convenient to ignore that little tidbit? How can you call out more then onr fighter and be pissy if one said no? ****, Shane did Floyd a favor by taking time off. Floyd made more money fighting DLH then he'll ever make again. He oughta thank Shane rather then actling like a brat. Floyd fans a IMPOSSIBLE....atsch
