PBF = dat nukka until proven otherwise. Whether it be Mosely, Cotto or Pac-Man, I take him 10/10.

I can't deny anything really because I'm a casual boxing fan and don't know much about boxing's rankings. I know about Mosely, Cotto, Pac-Man and have bought PPVs to watch them fight at one point or another, but my boxing world pretty much begins and ends with the following fighters: Floyd Mayweather, Makunochi Ippo, Andre Ward, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Cory Spinks (and to a lesser extent Michael Katsidis). If any of those guys are fighting, I'm backing them 100% regardless of the situation at hand.

Not really. You're very informative and help shed light on shit I otherwise would never know about. If anything, you should talk to me more.
Throwing away my bias and thinking practically, I do think Floyd should be fighting guys his size and if he has been ducking fighters out of fear of losing the zero then shame on him.
Can any of you expand on the history of Floyd ducking top fighters? From what I've read Mosley had a toothache the last time they tried to get a fight figured out. So I don't think it's fair for people to say PBF is ducking him if that's the case. I don't know the circumstances with the other guys.

Mayweather supposedly wanted to fight Shane Mosley after his rematch with Vargas in 06. Anyone who knows boxing and isnt a Mayweather groupie would realize that that fight would never happen. I had this debate over at another forum several times so Ill just paste my response from there.
Sigh..... Ill post this once again for these dudes who really think Floyd was trying to fight Mosley in 06.
Floyd supposedly called him out and wanted the fight in November after Shanes 2nd fight with Vargas.
1. Shane had 3 fights in the past 10 months. Did you really expect him to jump back in the ring 4 months later? If fighters were fighting like they were in th 50's and 60's Id understand but be rational.
2. You do remember Mayweather had a megafight in the works with someone Mosley works for. Now ask yourself, as Mosleys boss, would you allow for Shane to fight this man and possibly beat him and phuck up the mega payday he had? If he goes into that fight and looks anything less than phenomenal or get his ass beat by Mosley the fight is off or, at the very least, loses millions of dollars in revenue.
That said Mayweather was just flapping his gums when he knew Mosley was gonna be the good company man. DLH signs the checks and he knows that. Anyone trying to imply that Shane was ducking Mosley based on the that interview and the facts I just gave needs to really get off Floyds nutts and check Shanes resume.
3. We are in the here and now. Shane Mosley called him out to his face so all that other BS we are talking about is the past. Lets see what he does.
Also, on a side note. Mayweather said he fought Marquez because "he called me out". Well 2 legit welters called him out to his face and he has/is ducked/ducking them both. Margarito went to Mayweather and asked for a fight to his face. they had 8 million on the table and he didnt want it.
He lied to Margarito and said he will fight him after the a fight with DLH but never intended to step into the ring with Tony. He is doing the same thing to Shane but this time he is not coming out of his mouth and saying he will fight him because he isnt as low key as he was then and knows he will be held to it.

Well, all we can do is wait to see how he reacts and how the Cotto/Pac-Man fight goes. I hope Mayweather fights Mosley just to dead the hype. If you're right about it being so good they'll have to be a rematch, it'd be foolish for Floyd to sit around another year waiting for one fight.
What do you think would happen if Cotto trounces Manny, seeing as it would throw a wrench into the dream fight what everyone wants to see?

Shane humbled his ass. I never seen Floyd this subdued in an interview. :happy:

well went down exactly like i figured, Arreola looks to me to be the best of the Rest, but just not in the same class as the Klitschkos. Still great heart didn't quit, kept coming taking shots, but Vitali is just too smart a boxer, I think that Arreola maybe be better suited to fight Wlad(if you believe that his chin is suspect) but still there isn't a heavyweight out there right now who has a chance against either KlitschkoComment
