Does ANYONE REALLY believe Floyd Mayweather will fight Shane Mosley?

Question

.

Just in case you haven't heard,...The latest news is that Floyd Mayweather MIGHT be fighting Shane Mosley on May 01, 2010.,....MAYBE!!!  Nothing has been set, but the possibility is in the works, and They're looking at May 01. 

The possibility IS exciting,...but I just don't believe it! I mean everyone knows Floyd is a career coward, and he won't fight anyone unless their too small, or if they suck. So,...its VERY difficult for me to believe he would take on a real serious threat like Shane Mosley!!!

Shane Mosley is big, he's fast, he's strong, highly skilled, and extremely experienced. Floyd Mayweather just doesn't fight people like that. Floyd ACTUALLY tried to schedule fights against people who had NO CHANCE against him like,... 

Nate Campbell!!! 

and

 Paulie Maliggiani!!! 

CAN YOU BELIEVE THE COWARDICE???  Its unthinkable, but he actually DID try to make those fights, he really really did! And, NO I'm not making fun of him, he actually did try to schedule those fights!  I know its hard to believe he could be SUCH a coward,... its like baffling,...but TRUE   

 Floyd tried to make those fights happen, but thankfully the fans would NOT accept that garbage, then when the Fight against Andre Beto fell apart, because of the horrible tragedy in Haiti,... the fans wanted Floyd to take on Mosley, since Mosley got freed up, but knowing Floyd's cowardly timid behavior I see him faking an injury and finding some way out of a fight with Mosley.

I really don't think Floyd can beat Mosley,...I think Mosley would even give Pacquiao a serious run for his money. Mosley is getting old, but it just REALLY doesn't seem like "Father Time" has caught up with him yet. He is still as fast and as strong as he's ever been.


Less than a year ago Mosley beat the life out of World Champion Antonio Margarito, he beat Margarito until the man collapsed at his feet, AND in that fight Margarito was cheating using metal-hard plaster in his hand wraps, like he did when Margarito beat Cotto. And, even with Margarito cheating Mosley still kicked the crap out of him.    

If Mosley can make Margarito into his personal rag-doll punching bag, like he did! I don't see how Floyd could stand a real chance. I don't think Floyd could have beaten Margarito, and OBVIOUSLY even Floyd knew he couldn't beat him, because he ran from that fight too, just like how he ran from Miguel Cotto.

So, how is he going to beat Shane Mosley?  I mean its NOT like Floyd has any punching power. And, even if he did, Shane has iron chin.  All Floyd's got is excellent movement, incredible speed, and a slick defense. Mosley has all those things too,...except MOSLEY can PUNCH like a man! 

I guess Floyd could run around the ring in circles, and pop little fairy-boy punches...like he did against Oscar De La Hoya.  (By the way in real life, Oscar De La Hoya won that fight, reaguardless of the split decision they gave Floyd) 

I'm not sure the same tactic wll work on Shane though,... I mean Shane is going to fight Floyd like its the last fight he'll ever have, beating Floyd will put him at number 2 pound for pound, and gurantee a BIG MONEY FIGHT with Manny Paquiao, and secure his legacy as one of the All Time Greats. He is going to REALLY go after Floyd, stay on him, and MAKE him fight,...for the first time in Floyd's life,...

( you know NOT counting when Floyd beats up women,... He has four counts of beating women, and he's plead guilty to the charges twice!  But, he can't hit very hard, so don't worry  I'm sure the four women he beat are fine!  Maybe Chris Brown can give him some pointers!)

BTW if you don't believe that Floyd Mayweather beats women. LOOK  IT UP!!!!  Just type it into Yahoo or Google  the News articles WILL come up!  They're documented facts from law enforcement agencies in Nevada.   

I really just don't believe Floyd has the courage to face Mosley, if he does,.. AND that is one REALLY BIG    "IF"      Then,  WIN or LOOSE  for the first time Floyd will have earned some REAL  respect, but I can't believe that Floyd would ever take such a hard fight. And, if he looses to Shane Mosley which is very likely then Mosley will go on to fight Pacquiao,...NOT Floyd, and that is loosing out on a LOT OF MONEY!!! 

Conversely, if Floyd can somehow pull off some magical miraculous defeat of Shane, then his negotiation position against Paquiao will be tremendous!!!  Because even though Joshua Clottey is good solid fighter, he is NO Shane Mosley!!! 

What do you all think,... What do the fans say,... 


 DO YOU THINK FLOYD WILL ACTUALLY FIGHT SHANE MOSLEY???  

OR

Do you think he will just come up with another way to run away from another difficult opponent???

? · Accepted Answer

Depends. If Floyd thinks that Shane is way too old to fight now. Then he will. If not he won't. Why? Because Shane and Pacquiao are the only Elite fighters who even have a chance of seeing the 0 change to a 1 on his record.

What really would be funny is seeing him NOT ask for random drug testing :).

I think it plays out as a great competitive fight that will only enhance both of their legacy's. Nobody can ever know for sure what is gonna happen in a fight. Mosley could destroy him somehow, Floyd could somehow pitch a shut out again and win a lopsided decision. Its true of course styles make fights and I understand your point about Shane's losses. In my opinion Oscar de la Hoya is a better "boxer" than Shane and Cotto , probably not winky and definitely not Vernon and I think he always has been until sometime shortly after he fought floyd and he started to lose it maybe even a little earlier but he performed very well against Floyd in their fight. Well Shane beat Oscar twice maybe 1 was a little controversial. Winky is like B-hop in the sense that he will almost make everyone he fights look bad and a prime winky would give anyone problems. Vernon is also awkward he is a very good boxer and will give a lot of fighters trouble but somehow he can lose twice to someone like Mayorga a guy who Mosley ko as well as oscar and tito.Now as far as Cotto goes he might have now learned to "box" better than shane but shane is still the better all around fighter, more heart/more power/more speed and a better chin. I think Shane would have beat Cotto in a rematch had Cotto gave him one and believe he still could.That is a fighter he can learn from in the rematch and adapt nothing like a Wright or a Forest . Floyd is different all together and makes for a unpredictable fight. It could also play out like the Mosley De la Hoya fights or even like Floyd vs Oscar even.All i know for sure is Shane deserves a shot at Floyd more than anyone else and its not about the money with shane it never is, its always about fighting the best, just look at how he was willing to kill himself to fight Manny and drop down to 140 and take a much smaller cut.Just look at Shane's entire career and you can see how he always tried to fight the best guys out there. If floyd truly wants to be great he must fight shane. I think it would be an instant classic fight and Shane is a true welter weight champ , he is no zab judah or carlos baldimore/Gatti.

Could you elaborate on that question just a bit. 

 Mayweather will fight any big name that will submit to stringent PED testing.  That may eliminate more big names though.  It would be real good to have a PPV with a ruiz or Fast eddie as well on the same night.  Kinda difficult since those are in germany and time zones would make things difficult but the rumble in the jungle was at 4 am. so maybe HBO, GBP can pull their heads out of their butts and work on getting boxing fans a REAL EVENT worth paying.

Mosley? Maybe 2 to 3 years from now. Honestly, I feel Floyd will be retiring again. No more fight for him unless its Campbell or Malignaggi. Or other guys under his weight. But the very possible thing, he will be out for a while until the retirement of Mosley and Manny.

All champs avoid difficult oppenents,you fight the weak make all the money you can b4 getting brain damage.
Floyd is great and I somehow always find myself wishing he'll lose so he can shut up!
Mosely is not able to beat Floyd,all the ducking and running is skill/speed it's kept him undefeated for his career. Mosely not fast enough,just so you know,when mosley was champ he avoided a young floyd(everyone does it) Mosely is also a steroid user

Floyd Mayweather is a coward DUCKER. 

Floyd's  is a has-been.  and a JUICER


Manny would whoop Floyd's PUNK *** NO DOUBT!

ragdefender · Answer

Bottom line is, he HAS to fight Mosley.  There are no other choices out there.  He can't wait for Pacquiao forever unless he's willing to budge from his testing demands.

Kel · Answer

I don't see it coming.. Maybe if he is convinced that age has caught up with Shane, then he might fight. Then again, it is too risky.

PacMan vs. Sugar Shane!!! I really think Mosley can catch and drop Manny, even if I will be rooting for Manny. Than again, that is why I love for that fight to happen. After Cotto, the only real challenge left is Shane.

Mayweather will fight Mosley! He knows it is his last chance to claim greatness. He knows a win over Mosley will push Pacquaio to fight him regardless of the circumstances.
