Excellent read imo. Mosley is just wasting time waiting for Floyd,like Margarito did. For such a high profile,experienced guy,that's a silly mistake to make. He needs to stay active,keep fighting. These long delays coupled with his age are not going to help his cause and it's not as if he has been vocal at every oppertunity about fighting Floyd,I only remember once or twice after the Oscar fight,he mentioned it.

I'd like to see him fight the winner of the WW tournament.

I'm not surprice PBF is just wating for Mosley to be past his prime to fight him ( if he still fighting) he does that with boxers who had the chance to beat him.

Shane needs to fight someone. He had Cintron in his sights but that fell through so he fought Collazo which was a good fight to take at the time. Thing is he's done nothing since to build on that momentum. He's not getting any younger & with all these other big fights going on he is being pushed further into the background.

He needs to get in there & soon IMO

Mosley should talk to Oscar to offer Hatton more $$ than PBf is offering and fight Hatton. Then If and only IF he wins ( witch I think he will) PBF would not have any option that fighting Mosley

Mosely is getting old, I hope its just bad timing.Every top guy is busy, or lined up to fight. I wanna see him whoop up the welterweight division. IMO he's best at welter. Clottey is free and I'm sure he would take the fight, that would be a great fight.

Damn even Clottey is busy...hes gotta dip into the rankings to find a fight to stay fresh. IMO

You talking about the Hatton way.

**No Contest** · 07-12-2007 06:33 AM

Hatton hant mentioned Mosely once...lol. He is a bit too big for Hatton if the fight was at welter. Mayweather hasnt said anything about Mosely either. He claims Mosely ducked him back at lightweight days so now he doesnt want to give him the fight. That sounds like even more reason to fight to me. Floyd should be looking to fight Mosely not Hatton.Everyone is coming out of the woodwork to fight Hatton, even Oscar.You gotta give Hattons management credit they have set him up nicely for the big money. The ball is in his court.

CC on Floyd those are my exact words.

Dorfmeister,I disagree totally with your points. If Shane does nothing,Floyd won't fight him. And you act as if Shane is some big draw but the truth of the matter is he not a big draw at all. In fact,at this stage,I would go as far as to say Foyd is the bigger draw and Floyd being Floyd will call the shots.

You guys are right,I'd much much rather see Shane v Floyd than Hatton Floyd but Hatton's team has done their job,made him a name(of sorts) in America and he has a loyal fanbase who will come to watch him fight meaning more $$$ for Floyd.

Like I said earlier,Shane should fight,may be Cintron,then unify with the winner of the WW tournament and then call out Floyd.

Gamo, let's speak the truth between us, hermañito, everybody want a piece of that Floyd azz hell yeah but the guy still sucked on tiny tit May 5, Oscar got the big piece of the cake and downright dumped him on the rematch he so desperately wanted... Before that, Floyd made as much money with Tata Baldomir and with Zab as Shane made with Vargas twice... Now, Floyd wants Big Money fights and complains that Shane is not a big draw anymore, that Miguel is just a "lil good fighter", that Tony is not in "the same plateau" as him, c'mon... The guy doesn't want to fight and badmouthed some 140 pounder, once WBA welter Champ ( God knows how) to get away with it... What I'm saying is that Shane's options have nothing to do with Floyd or with that particular fight, if Floyd avoids Shane, he'll lose credibility among the boxing public and that loyal fanbase, not to speak of HBO, the Ring Magazine, the Commissions themselves. Let's come up to that, Shane vs Floyd will not happen then, Shane obviously goes after Cintron, Cotto or Tony/Williams but Floyd would be definitely out out of the equation... Puya has said it best, Floyd is just waiting for Shane to grow old fast overnight, well, Floyd is the one who actually got himself retired...
