[generalbulldog]

Since the fight with Berto is off, Richard Schaefer is talking about trying to set up a fight with the 2.

Mayweather vs Mosley Clash in The Works, Says Schaefer - Boxing News

[Greig]

Ha - once Schaefer gets Floyd to stop shitting himself he might try and make the fight.


I just can't wait to hear Floyd ask Shane for random testing. Shane's response will be very, very interesting...


This is starting to resemble a nightmare scenario for Floyd - fight anyone but Shane and you are boxing's pound for pound biggest pussy

[Myk_Myk]

Looks like something might have backfired!

[Truth]

all I hope is that Floyd demands the same testing from a known steroid user as he did with an unknown one

Boxing gets unexpected shot in the arm with Mayweather-Mosley - Chris Mannix - SI.com

Sometime in the next few days Golden Boy will announce a May fight between Mayweather and Shane Mosley. It's a matchup that became possible when Andre Berto, his personal life rocked by the recent earthquake in his native Haiti, withdrew from his scheduled Jan. 30 bout with Mosley. On Monday, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told SI.com that he planned to work around the clock to hammer out a deal, one that will likely include blood testing (Mosley says he will agree to it, and Schaefer believes it's good for the sport) and a split that will guarantee Mayweather the bigger payday. Mosley won't bicker over the details (he's been positioning himself for this fight for more than a year) and Mayweather will jump at the chance to give a look-at-me-I'm-fighting-a-top-welterweight speech in front of a bank of cameras.

Looks like he did, he is now in negotiations with Mosley and is asking the same testing he was of Manny. I don't see how anyone can discredit this move by Floyd, but I'm sure people will find a way.

[Greig]

Lets wait til it's signed sealed and delivered.

[generalbulldog]

Oh wow, business wise this is a risky move for Floyd, but kudos to him for bringing it. I was hoping a March 13th fight, but hey May is still good. It looks like HBO doesn't need to choose between the two fights.

The winner of this fight should fight the winner of CLottey-Pac.

The possibility off having Mosley/Mayweather and Marquez/ TBA in one night is exhilarating.

Imagine if the Hatton/Marquez fight came through.

[OumaFan]

Good stuff if it happens. I suspect Mosley wouldn't want to just take a few weeks off and go right back into camp so no March.

[blegit]

Its amazing how Mayweather is getting put down. People make up stuff when there is nothing bad to say anymore about Mayweather. They are negotiating I can't see how people can not honor either fighter for trying to put together the best welterweight clash.

[Boxerharvey]

This is the fight I have deaming of for years. Im a bit gutted that the Berto fight is off because I think the lay off since the Margarito fight is a bit to long for Mosley.
If Mayweather steps up and takes the fight he will definetley go up in my estimations at last he maybe fighting a world class welter weight!

[ross]

Yep, Mosley at his age needed a few competetive rounds.

He could also be stale from too much training unless he takes a month off now which would still give him a 3 month training camp.

[Tam Seddon]

If this fight goes through I am going to be so happy! Big IF IMO though. Both fighters need each other I think because Shane has been avodided by most people and Mayweather with all of that shit with Manny will be wanting to show the world that he is still the best fighter at 147.

[Mattyhitman]

Would love this fight to come off. Kudo's to Floyd if he takes the fight against possibly the biggest and fastest man he's yet to face.
