    I want to go on record right now when it is supposedly on the verge of being announced. My opinion is that Floyd ran from all the biggest fights of his life.
    If he does indeed fight Mosley that goes against my opinion of Floyd. I hope I am wrong. I want the Mayweather fans to be able to come in here and say - look - you were wrong, they made the fight.

    But I doubt Mayweather makes the fight.

    Golden Boy would love this fight. I don't think they give a damn about Floyd, who likely is in debt to them. Mosley is GBP and he won't get railroaded in any way shape or form by Mayweather here.

    It doesn't make sense to duck out of all the big fights (yeah I know some of these guys weren't keen on facing May at certain times but May blinked when they did want him) Pac fight, Mosley, Margarito, Cotto, DLH 2, wrestle, retire and then take a risky fight.

    May is I believe in serious debt and he could have had the Pac fight and huge bucks. Mosley is a lesser money fight and poses equal danger on paper.

    Floyd will not make this fight.

    I still think he finds a way out and goes for someone on the level of Mathew Hatton.

    So I am sticking my neck out here all you Fraud fans.

    How about you stick your neck out here too.

    If Fraud doesn't make the fight are you going to buy his excuses?

    Floyd will try to duck him. But Mosley will acquiesce to all of Floyd's outrageous demands making it impossible for Floyd to NOT look like a *****.

    Therefore the fight will happen.

    Well I am trying to make a statement now when it looks like the fight has every reason to be made rather than an I told you so statement after fraud ducks out and waddles away across the pond to fight Mathew or some other such stuff The Fraudulent One can concoct

    I think Mayweather would surprise all of us this time. I think this fight gets made, Floyd knows the world is watching. If it doesn't get made Mr.Floyd would never get any respect at all.

    i said something smiler

    look we all know, even floyds fans know that he has ducked risky fighters to keep his big 0 because it makes business sense being undefeated

    floyd said on sky sports he wants to make 200m and retire, he will duck mosley and fight another cherry picked fighter so he can make that extra 10m or so. only at the end of his career will he accepted a fight with mosley and then pacquaio if he gets pass mosley that is.

    mayweather is only in boxing to make money, he dont give a **** about legacy

    i will also go on record saying mayweather will somehow back out of this fight with some stupid excuse or unreasonable demand. i really hope i am wrong and will be very happy if i am wrong

    nah I doubt it
    that isn't motivation enough for him
    if 30 or 40 mill isn't enough motivation to accept 24 days then getting back at pac to fight mosley isn't enough

    If this is Floyd's thinking then IMO he'll be in for a rude awakening. If Floyd-Mosley gets made, I'm hoping the Mosley that fought Margarito will be back, the one that looks to kill people inside the ring.

    Then prepare for Pacquiao-Mosley fight next.

    I agree

    May will have to feel more desperate than he does now to fight anybody dangerous, otherwise he would have done it already

    maybe after the 0 goes and he is older and if he is broke

    What's bad is the blantant history revision that goes on around here. Everybody forgets that Cotto's people wanted nothing to do with Mayweather when they were at 140. They forget that Arum immediately bought Cotto a paper belt when he came to 147 and was deadset on matching Cotto with Margo and not Mayweather. People forget that Shane made every excuse in the book about why he didn't want to fight Mayweather in the past. HBO set aside a date and asked Mosley live on T.V about whether or not he wanted the fight and all he did was make excuses about why he didn't want it. Look at some quotes from Schaefer about that fight in 2006;

    "Shane and me and Oscar were sitting here in my office talking about the Mayweather fight," Schaefer said Tuesday from his Golden Boy offices in Los Angeles. "Shane said he didn't really want to do the fight right then, that he wanted to take a cross-country trip with his family. Oscar said, 'You have first choice.' "

    Not it's pretty obvious that Shane wanted nothing to do with Floyd back when he was near the top of the p4p list, smack in the middle of his prime, and merely a good payday. He only wants to fight him now because he knows it's his best payday. They only guy that I can say that Floyd probably really didn't want to fight was Margarito.
