Mayweather wanted nothing to do with Margarito. Ive actually been a pretty good fan of Mayweathers throughout the years. I appreciate his style, cus Im a boxing fan....not a "stand in the middle of the ring and throw haymakers" fan. But real shit, Mayweather wanted no part of a tall...steel chinned (until that Mosley fight), slugger who threw punches non stop. it would have been too tough a fight for Mayweather...and he didnt feel it was worth it. IMO, Mayweather completely weighs the risk/reward when he picks fights. If Margarito would have been a HUGE draw (like De La Hoya) he would take the fight...and take the risk of losing. But he didnt wanna take the risk of losing to Margarito without there being a big time pay day. And Margarito doesnt draw like that.
Mosley's biggest issue in this fight is gonna be if he fights on Mayweathers terms. The problem is...if both fighters fight THEIR fight, it could be boring. They are both counter punchers. Mayweather forces fighters to fight his fight...cus most fighters get tired of not throwing punches. Mayweather doesnt care if he throws 7 punches the entire fight...as long as he wins. He is fine with winning ugly and pissing off the crowd. Which is smart for his record. But its also the reason he needs to run his mouth like an idiot before the fight to up the PPV buys.

First off, Im no Mayweather Hater. Ive been a big fan of the guy forever. Lately he has made himself look like even MORE of an ass tho. Saying that he is better than Ali, etc. Thats just a mistake to even make that claim. Especially when virtually every boxing analyst out there talks about his lack of quality opponents through his career. And it isnt like Roy Jones where...there just WERENT many quality opponents. Floyd has continuously ducked top notch fighters. He had the opportunity to fight Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao, and Paul Williams. He chose to fight NONE of them. Meanwhile all of those fighters fought at least one of the others. Instead he went after Carlos Baldomir and a washed up Zab Judah. Margarito did have that wrap on his hands, and true...who knows how long he had that shit. BUT, nobody knew that. Floyd didnt know it...he just ducked him. Mosley didnt know it...and he took the fight, and destroyed him. Mosley is onto something when he talks about the fact that Mayweather runs his mouth even more when he feels threatened. Thats why he keeps trying to deflect so much attention onto other things...like steroids. Cus deep down, he is probably a little scared. Throughout his entire career....he has had ALL these fighters to fight, and at this stage of his career he is fighting the best fighter he has ever faced lol. Thats ridiculous. Like I said, Im a fan of the guy inside the ring...he's an insanely skilled boxer. He just isnt as great as he thinks he is. Beating Mosley would help...cus his resume of victories isnt that impressive yet.

He's just gonna have to fight and beat Pacman. Or lose to Mosley. Or else the fans will defend him..

If Floyd loses to Mosley...its gonna make people question his WHOLE career. Cus people have always questioned his choice in opponents, and if he finally fights a top notch fighter and loses...it looks pretty bad. Especially considering Mosley wanted this fight long ago when he was in his prime and Floyd didnt.
Muhfukka:
im gonna go with mosley just based on that ive always liked him more but as far as the outcome its hard to say, should be a good fight
Javier:
Floyd was willing to fight Mosley, but Mosley was complaining about going to a damn dentist and enjoying vacation. I'll say it like this, if Mayweather doesn't completely own Mosley then he's not even that good of a boxer. He's going to win 8 rounds at the very least, I would go far as saying that Mosley will be in too much pain by the 12th round. Fight might even be over. I'm drunk right now so fuck it, that's my prediction.

Floyd has always tried to make it appear as if he was willing to fight the best, but then never fought the best lol. At some point....if you were willing to fight these guys, you woulda fought them. At one point Mosley was 38-0 with 35 KO's....and Floyd makes such a big deal of his 40-0....with what, 3 KO's? lol
too much pain? If Floyd manages to hurt Mosley....its time to give Mayeather a steroid test lol. Floyd would have a hard time dropping Mosley with a low blow. Like I said, he is a great boxer....shit, one of my all time favorites is Pernell Whitaker. But he is similar to Floyd...great defense, very accurate, great boxing skill....not a hard puncher. Mosley DEFINETELY has the power advantage in this fight. Hand speed is a wash. Floyd has the advantage defensively. If Floyd wins, it will be by decision. If its a KO....then Mosley knocked him out.
