    :roll: oh god hear we go ..

    Floyd had made a challenge to Shane when shane was at 135, shane and his camp intertain the thought but decided to move up to 147 to challenge Oscar. So yeah your correct the shane had fought oscar before floyd beat Corrales ,, but floyd was far from the fighter that had only 10 fights as previously stated..

    does it hurt you margarito fans that much that I think , margarito is guilty for loading his gloves .. :lol:

    Regardless floyd had more then 10 fights when he challenged Shane and that was before shane moved to 147.. Also I didn't get owned by no one fool..

    Shane was already a full fledge welter by the time he fought Oscar.

    You guys need to think about what he said.

    He never said the bouts were going to be held at JLW or LW.

    He means they were turned down twice while Floyd was a JLW and while he was a LW.

    this was before shane decided to skip the 140 devision and go straight to 147, when floyd challenged shane. Many thought floyd was crazy to challenge Shane at 135 me included, because he was an absolute monster at that weight .

    Shane decided he had bigger fish to fry with Oscar and turned his back on a floyd fight and went after Oscar instead.

    You just gotta love how senile senior is ALWAYS speaking on behalf of junior when they are not really talkin. But back to the issue......Floyd callin out shane when he did in '99 was such a ploy to get his name out there. He knew Shane was not gonna take that fight....i mean Floyd had no belt and no real "glamour" to his name. Talk about using the press to come off as a "thug" and "avoided". FMJ is the best all time at using the media to make himself bigger than he is.....:deal

    ... and now when they are both established, and the fight would be more meaningful and more lucrative for them both, Floyd is turning him down.

    Floyd might have his bases covered though. He's banking on Hatton wanting a rematch, and Roach going after him instead of Shane if Manny wins.
