Floyd Mayweather Should Fight Shane Mosley, Says Arum

[Laborer]

We all know Mosley had a toothache at WW, LW I can't necessarily blame him for not taking the fight, because the risk was greater than the reward. But none-the-less he was approached twice about a Mayweather fight, and he turned him down twice. Now he wants the fight in the twilight of his career.

Let's just say for argument's sake that Mosley ducked Floyd in the past, would that be an excuse enough not to fight him? That's how a girl thinks, but a real fighter, you don't duck from anybody, not for any reason, especially the one about Mosley (apparently)ducking him first. mosley came up to his face and challenged him, a real man never walks away from a challenge like that. He could elevate himslef a little closer to the greatness he claims he possess if he wins. if he losses, he'll go home with a bruised ego (and possibly broken nose) and millions of cash. Overall, a happy ending.

Pac dosen't have to face anybody. He fights Cotto in Novemeber. Floyd could fight Shane in January. And, then the winner could fight in May.

if floyd fights mosley. who would pac face? marquez? margarito?

the incumbent congressman of Sarangani Province, Philippines. For the house of representative. Hope Manny won't win in congress so that he will change his mind in retiring and we can see him fight again in the ring.

Gayweather will duck Mosley just like he ducked Marg, COtto, Kostya and everybody else that he considers a threat.

[EL_cano]

manny having a great career will join the best in boxing history.

2010 will be a historical year for us boxing fans if he ends it with floyd.

also, pac needs to stay out of politics, his gonna get into trouble.

Here is my thing about the whole Floyd Mayweather Jr situation.
Sure he talks a lot and yes he does contradict himself sometimes
and of course he is about the money BUT I think people put too
much emphasis on Floyd not fighting the best. If you look at it
over all, it took 40 people to beat him and no one has done it
with exception to a debatable loss to Castillo the first time but
he did come back and beat Castillo more convincingly the second
time when Castillo was heavier than the first fight. He was weighing
as a WW in the fight with Floyd. Floyd showed he could beat Castillo
convincingly something Manny Pacquiao couldn't do with Juan Manuel
Marquez.

Everytime Floyd has fought a fighter in some form of fashion people
said that he was going to lose including with Baldomir because
of his size but once Floyd beat his opponents then they weren't top
notch but fact of the matter is that Floyd beat mostly champions and
undefeated fighters, isn't that what Boxing is supposed to be about?
I mean, I want to see him fight Mosley, Cotto, Manny, Williams,
whoever but sometimes I think people go at it too much from a
personal level and more of a they just want to see him lose apsect.
If you look at videos throughout his professional career and boxing
articles and interviews you can see that Floyd has called
out the best in each division and tried to make fights happen
but they didn't materialize for whatever reason.

I noticed though with a lot of people who critizice Floyd that they
never take these facts and documentations into consideration and
it's funny how many give Mosley a pass for turning down Floyd
because he wasn't a draw at the time and now Floyd is doing it to
Mosley and now he's ducking a guy he tried to fight twice already?
I think Floyd should fight Mosley because their both WW's and Mosley
is the man there now so it makes sense. I totally agree that Floyd
should man up and fight some elite at 147 but what I don't cosign
is all the hate homie gets when actually he tried or fought who he
needed to fight to get to where he is at. I think we should see what
he does because we never know exactly what Floyd is going to do
until he does it. BUT if he retires and disregards fighting any of the
top guys at 147 now that he is back then I think it is only right to
bash him and question his heart.

[GRUSTLER]

Any another thing I don't cosign is the fact that people keep
bringing up Floyd ducked Antonio Margarito? Look at what
Antonio Margarito has done in his career to win fights? Are
people that much desperate to discredit Floyd that they would
say that he ducked a man that obviously didn't have enough
talent to stand on his own but needed a substance to do it?
Margarito proved his worth by getting caught cheating and KO'd
in the same night. How can people continuously bring this guy
name up like he was a threat to a man that worked hard his
whole career to get to where he is in a legit fashion? Margarito
has always been an overrated 1 dimensional limited fighter and
now a known cheater.

WORD. No one said it better.

Shane is on the outside looking in right now. there is more lucrative fights out there right now, in the Cotto/Manny sweepstakes. Shane did it to himself and him thinking that beating an overrated Margarito and struggling with Mayorga (who would get hit by bottle if threw it in the air), and struggling with a 1 handed Collazo made him hot, then shame on him.

He done had a many chance to raise his stock and he has sat on his hands chasing Pacquiao.
