On whether he believes Mosley is too old to face Floyd given his age and his long layoff: Shane Mosley is thirty-eight and hes coming to fight Floyd too late. You know, hes coming to fight Floyd too late. If he had a chance, maybe he should have done it a few years ago. Floyd challenged Shane Mosley when Shane Mosley was at his best pound for pound fighter at that time at 135 pounds. Floyd challenged him when little Floyd had just won the championship at 130, the junior lightweight champion. Shane was the lightweight champion but Floyd was the junior lightweight champion and we challenged Shane, and they denied us and they did not take the challenge. They did not take the challenge. Now, hes fighting because its a musthave to fight, got to fight, need to fight. Thats why hes fighting us now. He has to, he must.
I wonder how much time it took the interviewer to translate the **** that came out of that crackhead's mouth. My guess is at least a couple of days.
Its true ...remember Mosley never fought one fight at 140 avoiding alot of fighters that wanted him instead he chased Oscar which in the long run ..paid off. These two could have fought years ago.
I don't see the logic why Pop Floyd still has to make some nonsense statements when his son is in grave danger this weekend. I wonder what he would say then if his son loses.
I really don't pay much attention to this clown. He also said Floyd shoudln't have gotten the decision against Oscar.
No, Floyd Sr is playing it safe in his mind cause it's his son and he knows who can get really hurt. Shane could have had 45 years old and Floyd would still have to keep his distance. When Shane was P4P nº1 and 38-0, 35 KOs, Floyd was too small, too unexperienced and was really a nobody to demand such a fight.
