    Again. The facts remain: Mosley could have had the fight in 2006 and he turned it down.

    But you already knew that. Why continue to act like you don't.

    I agree totally, and if he has lost his confidence to take big punches, once Pacman hits him clean or often he might pack it in mentally. He might know something about himself and just doesn't want the punishment. If he does end up fighting Pacman, then he probably saw something with Cotto -that he can outbox Manny and turn this into his usual 12 round boxing. That is why I am not sure it will happen. I could even see Floyd sign for the fight and let it get hyped and then pull out of it. I could be wrong.

    If the projected fight against Pac gets delayed because of Pac's political ambition . . . who is Floyd going to fight?

    Another 135 or 140 pounder? PBF ought to be ashamed of what he is doing. :think

    :lol:

    He should fight the winner of Mosley/Berto . . . no if's no buts.

    Yes, Floyd, I can't believe you would force Pac to run for office and delay the fight

    You are an idiot . . . don't ever quote me again asswipe. With or without Floyd, Pac is running for public office and Floyd can just shut the **** up and wait because he'll remain second rated fighter if he doesn't fight Pac.

    Meanwhile who is he gonna fight? You get that moron? :deal

    This is true:yep

    But now, its Floyd who's running away. :deal People will remember Mosely climbing up the ring to call out Pbf face to face. Mosely's beating of Margarito scared sumthing in Pbf.

    Pbf needs to fight Pac and Mosely to even make his comeback significant.

    IMO the Pacman fight will happen because he (FMW) cares about the money. It will be a tough negotiation in the process; however, it will eventually happen. Mosley is just a negotiation tool for FMW. He is not interested in that fight, but they are using Mosley's name to use as a leverage tool or whatever tool so that the Pacman will agree on the smaller share of the pie. Pacman would say... the hell with this guy. I have the belt; I'm the P4P king and I don't need his sorry ass. When the Pacman fights happen my money is on Pacman. Pacman will break FMW's body mark my word. Corley almost got FMW in trouble, and Zab's right hook knock down FMW but it wasn't counted as a knock down. If he got tag by Judah's right hook coming in, I can't imagine what will happen if Pacman's right hook connects and coupled that with a left upper cut or a left straight. Boom!!! Down goes Mayweather!!! Down goes Mayweather!!!:yep

    No, now he's using Mosley as an out from Pac. It's safe to do taht now that Mosley is committed to Berto. he ducked Mosley already after the Marquez fight. But he really fears Pac most of all and is using the Mosley name now as an out.

    Really, without that excuses or money bearing, why can't Floyd fight Mosley?
    I think this could be an interesting fight for boxing fans to watch.

    Joe Louis fought The Cindarella Man.....because he had the belt. Well Mosley has the title now.

    People will also remember a guy who, when asked directly after a fight about the possiblity of fighting PBF, started stammering about vacations, tooth aches, and how PBF should fight Margarito.

    Dude had a chance at the potential 10 mil purse and a shot at the #1 P4P fighter in the world. And decided to pass.

    Being all gung ho about that fight now looks bad on Shane, not Floyd.
