WHY DID MOSELY TURN DOWN A FLOYD FIGHT?? (Truth only)

[Saloth Sar]

I have been reading the threads recently and One story I havent really got the background (both sides) Is the Mosely DUCKING floyd story.
The most I know about it is that They said Mosely turn the fight because of a toothache and family vacation....
But to me that does not seem like a good reason to turn down a fight with floyd...

So if anybody knows the whole story please do tell, because i am really curious why mosely turn down the fight with floyd?

Well because he didn't want to risk a DLH fight at 147 (Which equals alot of $$ ofcourse) I wouldn't call that ducking its understanble. Had he lost to Mayweather...we would have seen Mayweather against a prime DLH at 147 MAYBE

The toothache part is kind of weird to me lol

[Saloth Sar]

when did floyd actually call him out?
and when did Mosely have a toothache?

I wonder if Floyd is trying to play payback with shane, for shane turning the fight with him?

Floyd Mayweather wanted to fight Mosley around the time he got done beating Arturo Gatti, but Jin Mosley brushed the idea off by saying, "Shane has more KO's than Floyd has wins." Simply put, the Mosley weren't interested in the fight. So, Floyd fought Sharmba Mitchell and planned on fighting Zab Judah later. All the while Shane was saying that he'd fight the winner of Judah-Mayweather because he'd "done enough so that they should fight each other" to determine who got to fight him.

After Mayweather won the fight against Judah Bob Arum was trying to sell the Margarito fight really hard, but Floyd bought himself out of his Top Rank contract in an effort to get a DLH or Mosley fight. DLH wasn't interested and neither was Mosley, but Mosley was dumb enough to say that he wasn't available because he'd had some teeth removed and had a toothache. When he was asked why he couldn't just sign to fight later he said he was going on a family vacation.

That's the truth and part of the reason why Dan Goosen jumped in to put together the Baldomir-Mayweather fight. Mayweather was going to fight Kermit Cintron before the DLH fight, but DLH made it a condition of his agreeing to fight Mayweather that he not fight any tune up fights. Since the DLH fight Mosley, realizing that Mayweather is now a huge money maker, has wanted to fight Floyd, but Mayweather hasn't really been interested in the fight.

Thanks Fangs For the info.
Damn Mosely Played Floyd for a sucka.
If I was Floyd I would tell Mosely.
If you let me **** Jin then we can talk until then "I will be on vacation, getting my teeth pull out."

just my speculation but i think mosley passed on floyd and said he had a toothache because dlh ordered mosley to step down so dlh could get teh first crack

Thats what Shane gets! Now I'm sure he'll want a piece of that legacy and money to go with it. If Shane beat Cotto in the rematch then this fight would make sense... ALOT OF SENSE
