Why does Mosley get a pass for turning down a Mayweather fight for family reasons?

Of course there's a double standard against Floyd. He hasn't done anything more outrageous than Bhop has outside the ring. In fact you can make an argument that Bhop was worse with his borderline racist antics. Floyd's boxing style isn't any more boring than Bhop's style. Yet Bhop doesn't get trashed nearly as much as Floyd does.

I'm not sticking up for Floyd though. He brought **** upon himself by choosing to play a villain. It's just too bad people can't appreciate the role of a bad boy. His criminal record doesn't help either. Then again Tyson has done things far worse yet still has a huge fanbase. Go figure.

 

this is all moot now. they are fighting. besides to answer the TS question - Shane gets a pass of not being a ducker bc we all know he is a ****ing warrior FULL STOP.

Although floyd is not scared, his toughness is tarnished by the fact that he lets money, image and ego get into the way of big fights. So his business saaviness HAD created the perception of him being a chicken up until he just signed the dotted line. Lets see if he fights like a man on May 1st.

ITS SIMPLE.

 

Because Shane fought everyone at there peak ,ducking no one .Clear enough isn't it.

 

agreed that is what i was trying to say in my prior post.

No one can call shane a ducker under any circumstance, that is like boxing blasphemy.

 

anyone know the split maywetaher got with de la hoya

 

In my opinion, and as crazy as this may sound, if Floyd was to lose, I'm sure he'd feel better losing to a future HOFer then to Margarito.

If both Shane and DLH both said yes, since at the time Floyd did call out both, he'd take DLH over Shane 7 days a week. Remember, at the time, Floyd was still trying to join the "superstars" club in terms of notoriety and public acceptance.

 

Interesting. :think

 

Floyd wanted a fight in November 06. Mosley said we'll fight at the beginning of 07.

Doesn't sound like a duck to me. Floyd could've had it.

Instead he fought Baldomir in november.

 

Because people actually like Shane Mosley.

 

game, set and match.

 

Look who Mosley has fought and look at who Mayweather has fought.

 

Instead he fought Baldomir in November of 06.. Mosley said beginning of 07..

 

exactly.

He could've waited for Mosley till beginning of 07 but instead he chose to fight Baldomir in November 06.

Like he said in the interview Mosley was not available in Nov.06, but he would've taken the fight a little later.


Everyone is claiming Mosley ducked Floyd but its bull****.
