Floyd on Mosley, "when I wanted to fight.....he had a toothache"

[sandyvahra]

Listen, everyone is spamming these forums talking about how he is having money problems. I doubt that. I believe that he has SMART advisors that have helped him manage his money well. He has the right to call himself Money May if he feels like it, because he has made a LOT of money just in his last two fights alone. I dont see a problem with that?

Mosley didn't say BROKE..but that is what he was implying.

Well that's just it, I think he's doing fine financially & so what mosley said isn't a personal attack because it isn't true. If it were true, it would be personal. Mosley was linked to the balco dude so generally people do believe mosley at some point juiced, i call that a personal attack. mosley going after floyd's troubles with the law is a personal attack. if you're telling a guy he probably needs money when he was the 4th highest paid athlete in 07 or 08 or whenever, that is not a personal attack but just ******ity.

yeah, you are...how about when he called out shane when he was at 140? or how about shane moving up from 135 when floyd called him out? how about that...floyd gets so much unjustified hate from posters like you, yet, when facts are brought up in his favor, the twisting and turning comes into play...had floyd fought tony m, instead of baldomir, i guarantee you, the hate for him would have been the same...and baldomir was the wbc linear welterweight champion...when the fight with oscar didn't go down, shane could have easily been in baldomir's place...people talking about going up and down in weight...yes, shane would have had to come down, so what...floyd moved up after fighting baldomir to 154, to fight oscar, thus proving his greatness...skill wins fights, not weight...floyd has moved up 5 weight classes and has stayed undefeated...that's a testament to that man's skillset...he is the truth...

Mosley resume >>>> than Floyd's, so he gets the benefit of the doubt.

Tell me, what fight has Shane taken away from Oscar, ever.

I'll give you 24 hours to come up with the answer.

How about Floyd saying he doesn't fight sparring partners in reference to Shane?


But again, what fight has Shane taken away from the face and name of the promotional company he fights under?

I could care less. The truth of the matter is this fight could have been made before and Mosley had a "toothache"!

Now Mosley's career is winding down and Floyd's supposed to drop everything for a fight with him? Not really. Floyd has other options right now and those options aren't interested in Mosley. So sit there and wait Shane. Or go fight Paul Williams.

, anyway hope the fight happens if Mayweather can get past Marquez and Pac

Mosley shot himself in the foot with the toothche excuse, He go a fight that would have made him alot of money after the Vargas fight.

Avoiding Mosley because he isnt a big draw is an excuse. I didnt know JMM is ODLH part 2.

Exactly. Moseley draws as many as JMM, I'll bet.

Floyd never used steroids >> Shane hides behind his dentist.

And there you have it.

If JMM is simply a tune-up for Floyd, then Floyd should just say so. Instead he's making this fight out to be something of major signifigance given JMM's pfp ranking. Had it been taking place at 140, this fight would be taken a lot more serious by fans, critics, writers, etc....

Another thing that makes Floyd look foolish is the fact that he tried to dismiss Mosley as a non-ppv draw. Ok, and what has Marquez done as far as ppv buys that is so great??? Floyd contradicts himself more than anyone on earth.

The fight is at 143...
you say it is a major fight at 140..
but it is a mismatch at 143?
