Over the scene where boxing is, Shane Mosley is of the impression that Floyd was pushed in the corner, and forced in to picking him as an opponent: "Floyd fough a lot of guys who were past their prime or weren’t as fast as him or as big as him. He picked and choosed. This fight I believe he got pushed in to because the Pacquiao fight fell out. He got pushed into this fight. He really didn’t want it. I can’t wait to get into this fight" I'm inclined to agree with him. I don't think it was ever Floyd's wish to take on such a risky opponent before his lucrative bout with Pacquiao. If he could have gotten away with it, I'm pretty sure he would have chosen a lesser fighter. But that being said, I'm glad Floyd thought **** it, I'll beat him now as oppose to later. For that he deserves a nod for taking on an opponent he should be taking on.
