Mosley: "Mayweather Fights Hand-Picked Opponents"

[jrosales13]

I'm looking forward to this fight already. Imagine what the hype will be like when it does happen.

One thought that I have is that Golden Boys sounds like a mess. Here you got Oscar running around saying that Marquez will beat Mayweather because he is faster and all that crap and on the other hand Shane is saying that he's hand-picked and he never liked the fight. Sounds like the right hand doesn't care what the left hand is doing. The only real businessman of the group seems to be Richard Schaffer. I don't think Shane and B-Hop are ready for business yet. If they had their way, there would have been a fight in the ring after the Marquez fight. One of those melee's that would have made the whole sport look bad. And that's why he will loose to Floyd. In spite of his bad boy reputation, Floyd is quite professional and focused in the ring. Mosley after all the trash talk will be an emotional mess and will come out swing for home runs. You heard it here first.

Oscar did not believe that tho. He was saying it to promote the fight. By the way they did a great job by promoting the hell out of this mismatch. I think it did great numbers on PPV. Anyways Oscar was trying to promote the fight. While Shane wanted to be the one fighting Floyd. And, Shane is still fighting and is the #1 WW. So I think that is why you got the contradiction from both. And, I agree Schaffer is the only real business man. Everybody else are fighters who I still think are learning how to promote. Even Oscar.

tell us something we dont know shane.

Damn this fool is DESPERATE... First he practically BEGS for a fight with Pac, then he does anything to get a fight with Floyd...

What a ****in loser....

Flyod shouldnt even fight this guy, just so Shane doesnt get to get a big payday... We all know thats the ONLY reason he wants to fight Floyd...

Whatever, If Floyd won't fight him everybody is going to know he ducked the fight. It's on him. Mosley has his respect as a true warrior. Gayweather is known as a cherry picker.

WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley is still tearing into Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mosley is not impressed with Mayweather's comeback domination of Juan Manuel Marquez. The Mexican warrior moved up by two weight division to face Mayweather. During a recent interview with Michael Rosenthal of The Ring Online, Mosley said Mayweather only fights hand-picked opponents who are smaller men like Marquez and Ricky Hatton or fighters who don't present a threat. He says Mayweather has ducked the real welterweights of the division, like Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto and others. [details]

Uh, Shane, weren't you begging Pac for a fight all summer?
Keep begging for money, Shane.

Shane can't have it both ways:

promoting a fight as a tough, competitive bout. And then after you cash the check, you say it was a farce.

isnt Shane HAND PICKING Mayweather?

[jvsnypes]

I agree with Shane. Floyd has to fight the best to be the best.He is now a natural welterweight. That's why he came in at 146, he couldn't lose anymore weight without killing himself. So its time that he fought the best at welterweight, starting with Shane.Shane is a much better fighter with ****r Richardson as his trainer.Unless his age suddenly catch up with him, I don't see anyone beating him.Although, Berto would give him hell with his youth and speed. Mosley vs Mayweather is the most exciting and competitive fight to make right now. It could lead up to being an ultimate trilogy.It could quite possibly be the most exciting fight at welterweight since Leonard vs Hearns.I think it would be much easier to negotiate than with Pacquiao and Arum. They're going to want the lion's sum of the purse. Mayweather will not have that problem with Shane and Golden Boy.

Shane before the fight was saying it was a farce tho. Ain't like he was saying all along that it will be a great fight. And, JMM will win. When the fight was postponed he said the fight sold less than 3,000 tickets. Kinda implying that the reason for the postponment was due low ticket sales. The only way he promoted the fight was saying That JMM is a great fighter and will be tougher than expected. But, everything else before the fight. Was like a shot at the Fight and at Floyd.

Mosley made some solid points. But i really wanna see Mayweather vs the winner of Cotto-Pacquiao.

[Kevin Jesus]

I really don't want Floyd to fight Shane. I'll be reading "Shane was too old" all over NSB.
