    Oscar actually said that Mosley is stuck in the same boat that Paul Williams is in, in that no one wants to fight Mosley. He strangely forgets to point out that Mosley is openly ducking challenges from Paul Williams to fight at 147.

    I can't believe how ridiculous Mosley is getting.

    It was pretty obvious he was tipping the cap to Paul Williams with that statement. I think he was being very respectful.

    It is pretty clear now that Mosley isn't getting Pac or Floyd in his next fight. I think Williams is the best fight for him right now money wise. I'm pretty sure HBO would love that one.

    Mosley needs to realize his PPV days are over unless he can beat Paul Williams

    Oscar seemed to get amnesia about how GBP did the same thing to Nate after Nate won all the belts. They pretended Nate never beat Diaz, and went about making Casa-Katsidis, Diaz-Katsidis, JMM-Diaz, Casa-JMM, and their "lightweight tournament" pretending Nate didnt exist.

    You reap what you sow.......

    Probably because Mosley lost to two fighters JUST like Williams and he really doesn't wanna do it again. Sides Mosley is sort of owed some respect when you consider he's taken on Vargas---Collazo----Cotto---Mayorga and THEN Margarito. Throw the old dog a bone :lol:

    Free markets are a *****. Millions to fight PW isn't good enough? Oh well, his call but we see what the market is telling him. No Floyd, No Manny, No Money.

    No but Mosley is just trying his hand at being greedy. If they were giving away free sandwiches, wouldn't you try to get the sandwich you want?

    To continue the Atlas-isms, Pac or Cotto is a 10 foot party sub that comes with all the beer you'd want. Berto is like one of those five dollar footlongs. Paul Williams is a PB and J sandwich.

    You missed my point. Right now there's a big money grab and Shane is going to try and grab it. Obviously they have a contingency plan for him as hinted at by Oscar. They're just holding out hope that they can get a bigger fight for him.

    It's like having a girl who likes you and is all on you but keeping her to the side and chasing a super model.

    shane wont be getting any of that money for at least another year

    floyd fights jmm
    cotto fights pac

    floyd beats jmm - he waits for winner of cotto & pac
    jmm beats pac - he waits for pac or MAYBE cotto but certainly not shane
    pac beats cotto - he fights the winner of floyd vs jmm
    cotto wins - he fights the winner of floyd vs jmm & MAYBE JUST MAYBE SHANE

    what ****s this **** up even worse is floyd fights first between the 4 of these guys so no matter what happens with cotto vs pacman.... floyd will have the final say

    see..... shane holds absolutely no weight in the situation at hand
