    Yet when Mayweather retires for 2 years to be with his family he's called a duck?

    Care to explain?

    Topic is relevant. There's a double standard and I'd like to hear other people's thoughts.

    Are you sure we are talking about the same person?
    Mosley said he was giong on vacation with his family after the Vargas fight which is when Oscar was trying to set up a Mayweather fight.

    That's what he said, but everyone and their ******ed cousin knows the deal. Oscar wanted the fight first.

    So you have the words from Mosley on why he turned the fight down. A fight Mayweather WANTED.

    Now with Mayweather he claims he's retiring for family reasons. People claim he's ducking.

    Do you not see the double standards?

    There is no double standard here. All you did was mention two different situations not even related. ****...Manute Bol would LOVE your reach....

    No because I don't call Floyd a "ducker" either. I do however 100% believe Oscar had ALOT to do with Mosley NOT fighting floyd back then because I know Oscar wanted the fight.

    And I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd KNEW that and was only calling Shane out to help him out in negotiations with Hoya.

    Both Oscar and Schaefer are on record as saying they offered Shane the first shot at Floyd and he turned it down to go on a family vacation. I'm not knocking Shane for it, but that's what happened according to all parties involved.
