Schaefer: Mosley-Floyd in the Works

[ICB]

I doubt it happens, a fight between these two has been hyped up. Since 2005 and probably earlier, if it didn't happen then why would it happen now ? as much as i would love to see it because im a big fan of both fighters, i wouldn't get your hopes up.

If it happens this isn't such a bad consolation prize for the fallout of the megafight between Floyd and Manny.

How so? Pacquiao - Mayweather would be the biggest fight in the last decade.

I disagree.

Mosley vs Floyd has been 10 years in the making. Neither man has ever been knocked out.
Pacs been stopped afew times and lost to Morales. Plus he has accusations of roids hanging over him . Now he is taking on a guy who lost to Baldimor so his rep has plummeted and the interest has gone out of that fight.

Mosley vs Floyd is the big 1. Cant wait

Mate I usually agree with most things you say. But yout logic is insane, you could say Mosley was beaton by Cotto who Pac destroyed, how the hell is a 37 year old Mosley who would have been out the ring for 14 months v Floyd be bigger than p4p number 1 against p4p number 2??

Disagree unless you are saying Mosley v. Mayweather will be a more competitive fight in which, I agree.

But first, of course Mayweather v. Mosley > Pacman v. Clottey

Mosley's already tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. And Pac just been accused. Big difference. If anything that makes Mosley not as big of a fight.

Pac right now has a bigger fan base than Mosley. Mosley throughout his career has never been a big ticket seller. Pacquiao is world renown, Mosley isn't.

Pac and Mosley have both lost. How they lost doesn't really matter.

[boxer dude]

In my opinion Mayweather vs Pacman could have been the fight of the decade, and not just because of ticket sales but because of their styles. No fight could replace it, Mayweather vs Mosley however is the next best thing, with honorable mentions to a Mayweather - Williams.

[J_Undisputed]

If it gets made, Shane should be allowed to act on his own till fight night. Let the two joust a little in the media and let it be like fight without money cuts and connections being publicized. Popularity contests, steroid historys, irs audits, its all fair game... but let this be a two man fight.

In other words, KEEP YOUR FCKIN MOUTH SHUT, HOPKINS!!! or run the risk of this fight getting away because some of the golden boy crew were acting like d*uches and and Mayweather walks away because he felt offended, disrespected or ganged up on. Just a word to the wise.

I understand that you would rather see Mayweather - Mosley, but the general public, casual, and dedicated boxing fans would all rather see see Mayweather - Pacquaio and nothing you've said provides any evidence to the contrary. Mosley just isn't as well known as Pacquiao and there's much more demand for Mayweather - Pacquiao.

Mosley not as well known as Pacquiao? Hmmm..Gotta disagree with you. I think more people would buy a Pac/Mayweather fight because its #1 vs. #2. But in terms of sheer popularity alone I'd have to say Mosley is a bigger household name than Pacquiao. Remember Mosley was the biggest name right under Oscar for a while.

I may be wrong but I know many more casual fans (people who dont follow the sport but just buy the big ppvs) knew of Mosley back in his heyday than casual fans know of Pacquiao right now (although both numbers are big). Mosley just took a hit in terms of clout, but I dont think his fame ever took a hit. People looked at him differently after loses & PEDs but they cant just forget him.

In my opinion Mosley is even a bigger household name than Mayweather. Mayweather is the bigger draw because of his stature in the sport compared to Shane's, but i'd wager that more people know the name Sugar Shane Mosley over Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather Jr.

honestly, as much as a pac-fan i appear to be, if this fight gets made(and i do see this happening, its a way of mayweather one-upping pac again) and doesn't contain too much drama in between camps, i'm defintely liking this fight more than pac-clottey. i take back everything i said about not wanting to see these 2 divas(pac and may) fight unless they're fighting each other. we didn't get the super super-fight we wanted to see but we got 2 big-ass fights anyway(and im watching it both). we might - nay, MUST- also get to see the winners go against each other. not bad... not bad at all...

So why make the announcement that the Mosley / Berto fight is Off? Why not just postpone or reschedule?

Was this not a title unification bout.... ?

Because, Berto is out for an undetermined time.
