Yet another article:For Mayweather, it's not if, but who?
"If Shane Mosley feels even slightly frustrated at the lack of response to his frequent demands for a fight with the semi-retired/pseudo-retired Floyd Mayweather, he has his own similar lack of response over the last decade to blame.
That is not to say his requests are not being heard, or that they are failing.
The telephone rang late one night a couple weeks ago, before Mayweather's sparring session in Las Vegas was reported and before the specter of his unspecified impending announcement this week was leaked. A source close to Mayweather's situation was on the other end of the line. The source virtually is without peer in accuracy, short of hearing the words come from Mayweather's own mouth, although the source's name never has appeared in any story about the erstwhile pound-for-pound king. That's how the source likes it. That's how it will remain.
"Floyd's definitely coming back. He'll fight this year," the source said.
Wow. Some news flash.
You've got do better than that.
"Floyd doesn't like it that Shane's calling him out," the source continued. "It's one thing when (Ricky) Hatton does it, or when (Manny) Pacquiao does it. But another African-American fighter calling him out is different."
Now that's something we've rarely considered.
Mayweather could make his comeback announcement this week....." click on the link to finish the complete Ring article......
David Mayo covers boxing for the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press. He has covered Mayweather since he fought as an amateur.
I highly doubt Team Hatton and GBP can afford to offer Mayweather Jr. US $25M for him to go down to 140 and fight Hatton... It's so risky and there's no guarantee Hatton will surely prevail at 140... We've already seen that once before and Hatton was KO'ed by the ring post...
