    1. It IS speculation and comes from someone who is known to disparage Floyd any chance he gets.

    2. Where's the 100% poll in favour of that?

    3. It's a high risk, high reward fight.

    4. Alright?

    5. Speculation.

    Berto pulled out coz of the Haiti disaster but now planned to fight Mallignaggi in April. Mosley-Berto could have easily been moved to April when the Haiti situation will be a lot better but Floyd is knocking on Mosley's doorstep for a fight. Mosley will try to accomodate Floyd and see if Floyd will give him his fair share and some bonus for saving Floyd's ass.

    Mosley needs Floyd? :patsch Granting both Mosley and Floyd will sit out and wait for the result of PAC-Clottey and if Pacquiao defeats Clottey, who do you think Pacquiao will entertain first, a Mosley fight or a Floyd fight?

    Actually Mosley doesn't need Floyd for he has alot of options (Pac, Berto, Cotto, Margarito, Williams). Who needs Floyd?

    Titles:
    Mosley - WBA welter champ
    Floyd - none

    Welter rankings:
    1. PAC
    2. Mosley
    3. Floyd
    4. Cotto
    5. Clottey

    P4P rankings:
    1. PAC
    2. Floyd
    3. Mosley

    Floyd is the draw but one important factor is, at this time Floyd needs Mosley more than the other way around.

    Eh, Mosley see's that he could fight Floyd which is a bigger fight in every department. Mosley is / would make a lot more fighting Mayweather and would fight nearly 3 weeks later that the push back date of what Berto is going to fight on.



    Pacquaio isn't even looking at Mosley. And Mosley does need Floyd for that big fight. Mosley won't have a PPV fight unless it's against Pac or Floyd and he's not going to get Pac despite even saying he'd fight him at 140.

    Fighting Cotto wouldn't get Mosley a lot of money and Cotto is already nearly locked up to fight Yuri Foreman.

    Berto is already set up to fight someone else nearly and again would not get Mosley a lot of money.

    Margarito? :rofl Are you joking?

    Williams, Mosley already stated he won't fight Williams, so why did you even list him as an option?

    Mosley is not going to get the Pac fight, Pac for whatever reason does not want to fight him.

    Your rankings mean nothing. Floyd would earn more in every department fighting Pac, money, legacy, ranking, than fighting Mosley.

    While Pac is not even looking towards Mosley, Mosley needs Floyd, who is Mosley's only PPV option. If Mosley doesn't get Floyd, he won't have a PPV.

    Floyd fight is obviously bigger that's why Mosley will try to milk Floyd more by asking a higher purse split considering Mosley is the only viable option left to save Floyd's ass from further humiliation.


    Mosley is not Pac's 1st priority if he defeats Clottey. There's Margarito, the winner of Cotto-Foreman (at 154) then maybe there's Mosley. At least Mosley will be an option for Pac after Clottey considering Mosley will be 39 years old this year.


    At least Mosley is willing and can possibly fight most of those names above. How about Floyd? Is Floyd willing to fight Williams or Margarito or Cotto or Clottey?

    If PAC defeats Clottey impressively, he could be looking at Mosley next for the linear and unified welter title. I think PAC will give more priority to Mosley than Floyd considering Floyd is very difficult to negotiate and/or scared to fight him.

    Also I think PAC is aware Mosley will be 39 years old this year.

    We have no clue if Mosley is even asking for more, it was speculation.

    Mosley is not the only viable option.



    Margo is worthless, he's a cheater, listing him is stupid.

    Mosley is not on Pac's radar. You don't go after Cotto at 145 when Mosley offered to go to 140 to fight you if he's on your radar.



    We don't know, Floyd goes after the biggest fights. Williams could be an option if he can make 147, Margo is a joke, he's a proven cheater, why do you even mention him? He just got the **** beat out him by Mosley to.

    Cotto just got killed by Pac, and would of been beat by Floyd.

    Clottey? Clottey is coming off a loss, Floyd would be ripped if he even thought of fighting Clottey right now.

    Here are the facts. Mayweather has an opportunity to fight Mosley, and he declining. Stating he will only make 8 million. Which is BS, he could clear 20 million with a (12 or 15 Million Guarantee) easy in the this fight because it will do at least 1million buys. But he is holding out for Pacquiao again, when he turned him down last time because of bloodtests. To me it is just ridiculous, it is winnable fight for Floyd but yet he is not man enough to man up.

    If he were to win he has more leverage in Pacquiao negotitions with blood tests, and maybe a bigger purse because Mayweather-Mosley is bigger then Clottey-Pacquiao. At least when it comes to PPV buys. But Floyd is just scared of Mosley. There is no way around it. He is just afraid of Mosley. Sorry Floyd fans, you have the most talented fighter, but yet he doesn't want to fight a future hall of famer his own size. Sad, sad, sad. First no Pac-May, now no Shane-May. What a joke!

    :lol:

    That's not a quote from Floyd.

    That's someone stating a "source" the same type of source that Teddy Atlas says has the emails.
