Floyd needs to fight Mosley, if he doesn't then I am going to file him into the all time wasted talents category. The is no reason for Mayweather to not fight Mosley. I hope this is rumor.

I'll wait for better confirmation before I say "I told you so". ;D
I don't know why people are always in such a rush to blast a fighter during negotiations. Nothing is final yet. Then again I guess if we couldn't blast a fighter on questionable grounds this forum would be made up of the prediction contest and Missy's internet dating.
Exactly, this is the same Michael Marley who said the Pacquiao-Cotto fight was definitely off because Cotto wouldn't come down to 143lbs.Quote:

If this was Rick Reeno or Dan Rafael, I'd be inclined to believe it, but with Marley he talks so much shit it's unbelievable. Him saying this almost leads me to believe the fight is signed.
* If Mayweather actually does this, fuck him
Bought it the first time you brought it up... no doubt you got this thing figured out.Quote:

This guy (Michael Marley) is also saying that Arum is going to fill up Manny's calendar for 2010 so Manny/Mayweather won't come off until 2011. Floyd has got to fight someone if this is true. In my opinion, Sugar shane is the only logical choice. Why don't you make 10 mil fighting Shane AND 40 mil fight pac-man?
Marley said this? If thats the case I believe the fight will get done in due time.Quote:

Okay, I'm not going to bash Floyd because we don't know if its true or not yet. But if it is...Floyd is then not a fighter in business but a businessman who happens to be good at fighting. So lets take the business angle since he chooses that side of boxing. Floyd deserves the small portion of the Pac fight. Pac is at least taking on a formidable welterweight and if he should win it should count for something. Something like 60% of the purse because Pac actually risked his stature like fighters do and Floyd just sat and waited. Pac is building his side and Floyd isn't. So Floyd would be lessening his value while Pac is raising his. 60/40 Pac's way. Non negotiable. Floyd could be building his value by beating Mosley. If Pac and Floyd both win then their fight would be worth significantly more as they would be labeled the top 2 welterweights along with everything else. But forget that I wrote all this until we find out whats true and whats not. :-X
I thought that - I'm sitting back anxiously to see if this fight goes ahead. I hope it's as Jaz says and Marley is being an attention whore again..Quote:

"What you mean he agree to the test?"
Mosley has now been inactive for over a year, not good for a 38 year old! Floyd is a joke, he won't fight Pacman, he balks at Mosley, he won't touch Williams, just who does he want to fight? People on this forum were at times cruel with their criticism of DLH, at least he fought everyone out there! Boxing is losing big time with this BS.
you know that there still is no official word of this being true right? and you know that the one who walked away from the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was Manny, right?Quote:

I think the reason why these rumors has been coming out is because of the delay in the signing for the fight. Mosley is desperate to have this fight that he may accept whatever terms Mayweather will put in front of him as long as they're not ridiculously insulting. They are both under GBP so the negotiations should run smoothly. And Floyd, being noted for his grandstanding, would have immediately grabbed the opportunity to take the limelight away from Pacquiao by making the fight happen. What then is holding it up?
Like what i said in the other thread, I also sense that Mayweather is going to sit out this fight (and no, I'm not a psychic nor a Jedi). If Manny loses, then he would attain the P4P title without even fighting. If Manny wins, then he should accept the fight as per Manny's terms (blood draw 24 days before the fight). This is a win-win situation for him.
If Floyd does decide to fight Mosley then I'll give him credit for that. But until then, let the rumors continue.....
Lot's of posters have posted things without any credible source and it's been 100% true, you just never know really.Quote:
