shane was 4-0 in his last 4 fights...oscar was 1-3 and..floyd can't justify fighting oscar over shane other than money...he would get way more credit for beating shane who already beat de la hoya twice
You CANNOT be serious with this.

Please tell us you're joking.
Nah man i'm serious...listen in every post fight interview floyd had prior to beating baldomir he's never mentioned fighting shane...it wasn't until shane ko'ed vargas and beat collazo that floyd decided to even mention shane even then it was shane that called him out first...and to dismiss him (shane) as desperate is weird..esp considering the the logic by which he chooses who is worthy to fight him...

he chose not to fight margarito and hatton because they didn't meet the "two-named fighters criteria" he fought baldomir after he beat judah and gatti..there's is no logical explanation to pick oscar over shane other than money and the little piece of belt that he won..

as far as his career in history to real boxing enthusiast a victory over shane mosely is a much better accomplishment than one over oscar whom has never beaten a prime A-rated fighter....he has consciously ducked shane mosely because he knows enough about boxing to know that shane is too strong for him couple that with shane's work rate and he beats floyd easily...
You've got it twisted. When Shane first came back down to 147, Floyd was there, but Shane said he "wasn't ready" for a Mayweather fight--he needed a tuneup before taking on anyone good. So he fought Collazo. By that time, Floyd was already working on getting a fight against Oscar. Shane NEVER said that he wanted to get to Floyd first. To the contrary, what he consistently said is that he wanted to fight Mayweather at 147 AFTER Floyd fought Oscar. So when exactly has Floyd had the opportunity to "duck" Shane Mosley. Is it because he didn't sign a contract with him sometime in the past 2 1/2 days?
well maybe ducking wasn't the right word...he never included shane on the list of fighters to beat for him..and yeah mosely wanted to get a tune up since he'd been at 154 for a while and maybe he needed that to remember how much faster the welterweight div is... either way there's no real way to justify picking oscar over mosley other than money..and let floyd tell it he didn't need oscar to make money because he's been rich for a long time

I seriously doubt knocking out Fernando Vargas is enough to warrant fear in anyone's heart
as a natural 140 pounder one punch knocking out a big guy like vargas..plus shane's speed would make any small fighter reconsider..even floyd....trust me not on his best day with his fastest, hardest, blind shot would floyd kayo vargas with one punch
