    What I meant is that a Floyd-Pac fight ain't happening. It would be great for boxing but it just ain't happening while a Pacquiao-Mosley fight would definitely happen. Mosley beating Floyd sets up a Mosley-Pacquiao show-down, which would clear up the p4p and welterweight questions.

    As an aside, Doug Fischer in his blog at RingTV below said that Floyd negotiated for an immediate rematch with Shane should Shane win. Is there any truth to this?

    "Hi Dougie,
    Long time reader here. First off, let me say that I sincerely hope I am wrong and you are right about Shane beating Floyd. I'm a big Mosley fan and have been for years. That said, speed kills - and I think people will be surprised at how slow Floyd will make Shane look. My greatest wish is for Shane to grind him down and stop him, but it just ain't happening. When's the last time you saw anyone able to consistently get to Floyd's body? Do you think it's because nobody's thought of that or tried? As much crap as the guy gets (most of it deserved), Money's absolutely brilliant about not getting in positions where he can get touched up to the body - or head for that matter.

    Interesting fight for 3-4 rounds until Floyd solves Shane and shuts him out with annoying but scoring counters en route to a wide UD. -- Scott

    You are so wrong, Scott. I can’t believe how many fans and members of the media are sleeping on Sugar Shane. It’s sad. It really is.

    Dude, Floyd didn’t want this fight. He was forced to take it because it’s the only fight (outside of the Pacquiao showdown) that would guarantee him $15-$20 million-plus and it’s the only bout that fans and the media (including his apologists) would accept in lieu of the Pac-Man fight. Mayweather’s side wanted an immediate rematch clause in the contract. What does that tell you about his confidence going into this bout? "

    Agree with you, i was referring the other, well that was i've thinkin also that regarding Floyd.

    If Shane wins or Pac wins
    As Roach said it will be easier to deal with.

    also we cant go wrong the expectation of the fans and media members coz they know Shane is inconsistent he could be good and sometimes goes bad recently his relying too much on his power punch his last few fight as we can see in Mayorga Shane look bad until he stop his opponent in last round, Cotto is able box him and Margarito is slouch no defense at all tailor made for him. If the fight with Shane-Floyd happens 5 or 8 years ago it will be a competitive as is.
    I like Shane but a year layoff and fighting a younger defensive as Floyd could tell something.
    Tho we cant go bad also in Shane this is boxing it could happen anything.
