HBO, Golden Boy Shame Shane At Mayweather’s Expense

[GameBullDawg]

what you talking about?of course boxing aint like it used to be,titles used to mean everything back in the days but they dont anymore,for example check the cotto and pacman fight,they are fighting for the ww title at 145 and then theres a new dimond belt for the winner,what a load of rubbish that is.but what i dont understand is everyone else in boxing avoids boxers for money reasons but if pbf does it,it makes him the biggest wanker coward in the world,just dont make sense,be fair to all boxers

When was I not fair , go ahead and name it !

I " DON'T " hate the boy , smiles , never have , hope I never will, what I HATE is his ways of beating up on boxing fans !

You can't go around in boxing saying you are the worlds greatest when you evade all comers. If he wants to be great then he must fight MOSLEY for the WW title but what he is about is " Megas Fobos" !!!!!!!!!!!!!

fair enough,i see where your coming from and you do have a case,i thought it was a personal attack because you didnt like him,personally id like to see him fight the winner of pac and cotto 1st and then mosley.shane was supposed to clottey and now they are talking about berto,he should fight one of them and keep active and be ready for pbf because that will be a great fight for all hardcre boxing fans,but anyone who isnt a hardcore boxing fan wont be interested in a 38 old with 5 losses fighting undefeted pbf with 40 wins and no losses,hard to sell the fight aboard

when you call pbf a chicken**** for not fighting mosley,but i dont see you calling mosley a chicken**** for avoiding pbf when he did or even now clotteys begging for a fight and shane wont fight him.dude thats not fair,if one of them is a chicken **** so is the other one

[Iceta]

mosley/pbf would be equally as big as pbf/pac fight??? really??? listen no one outside of america gives a **** about a mosely/pbf fight..there's no money in that..one of the reasons floyd fought marquez was because he has the all of mexico behind him..pacman is an international superstar!! he will have the entire country of the philippines behind him..the fight would be an international event..for the p4p throne..the scale of this fight monumental..bigger than delahoya/floyd..the magnitude of a mosely/floyd fight would drastically pale in comparison..sure mosely/floyd is the fight many hardcore boxing fans want to see..but money talks..and it aint talkin to mosely..

I'll bet you that Pacquiao won't give Floyd the time of day. Manny and Arum saw what happened to JMM. Mosley is the one willing to fight him though and on top of that, being the linear Welterweight champion will give Floyd more leverage against Manny.

Do you really think Mosley didn't fight Floyd because he was chicken****,

or was the reality that DLH is Mosleys boss and basically gets first crack at any opponent?


I would ask you to think about it, but it would require you to actually think for yourself.

Maybe I missed something but I thought that Roy Jones agreed to fight Tarver on the spot when Tarver called him out at the press conference or whatever that was.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Jones agreed to it when he signed the contract.

Jones had some other HW fights on the table after beating Ruiz, but they fell apart.

Don King was going to take too much money from a Holyfield bout or some **** like that, so Roy pulled out.

Very incorrect. In fact, Tarver was blasted by the media for crashing the post-fight presser the way he did.

Roy pursued a fight with Holyfield, and then also submitted offers to Lewis and Tyson, before agreeing somewhere around mid-summer to a Tarver fight.

Had he agreed in March to a Tarver fight that didnt come around until November, then there never would've been any issue over the amount of weight he had to lose in order to drop back down to LHW. But because he agreed to the fight so late (I want to say August; the first pre-fight presser announcement wasn't until September), he had less time to properly shed the weight.

The thing with Tarver is that he twice served as Roy's mandatory, yet still had to wait more than three years for a title shot. Roy went on a letter-writing campaign, urging the IBF to have Tarver "earn" his title shot, which resulted in the eliminator and loss to Harding in their first fight.

When Tarver rebounded well enough to regain his mando less than two years later, Roy still looked in every direction other than his. By that time, Tarver was no worse than the 3rd best light heavyweight win the world, 2nd best according to those who ranked him ahead of Dariusz.

If nothing else, Tarver had every right to hunt down Roy, yet was still crucified by nearly everyone who had an opinion on the subject.

Jake my fellow Wire junkie, if you feel Mayweather-Pacquiao won't happen next, then whom do you think Manny and Floyd will fight next (assuming Manny gets past Cotto)?

You say that Mosley brushed Floyd off earlier and advocated a JMM-Mayweather fight, and even if that's true, don't you think a lot of it has to do with Mayweather constantly avoiding him these last couple years and when De La Hoya has been out of the picture ? You've got to remember at the time when Mosley held the WBC interim title he practically ran after Floyd. Floyd turned him down and fought Hatton before the Cotto-Mosley fight got signed. Cotto wasn't really the fight that Mosley wanted over Floyd. And if a Floyd-Mosley fight causes Hopkins to get in the ring sooner, I can understand why he is being a strong advocate of it as well.

PBF should fight Mosley.

Beating JMM above 2 pounds on agreed weight limit resulting a 300k per pound
is not enough to prove your the greatest for beating a LW champion for
you are a WW champion this will prove nothing claiming you are far better than Manny Pacquiao. He better fight a WW Mosley instead of LW JMM. Pacquiao now is fighting bigger than him like Cotto and this is the story of comparing from Cotto vs Pac to JMM vs PBF, maybe PBF should give Mosley a chance now.

Equation:

Cotto=PBF
JMM=Pacquiao
