By Mark Vester On September 19, Floyd Mayweather Jr <nobr style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; color: darkgreen;" id="itxt_nobr_0_0"></nobr>returned to the ring after a near two year layoff to dominate Juan Manuel Marquez. He doesn't know who his next opponent will be but he told the Associated Press that he will not sit and wait on the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto winner, which takes place on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather plans to move forward with his comeback, whether that includes the Pacquiao-Cotto winner or another opponent. Shane Mosley has been calling Mayweather out but he is not in the running. Mayweather told the AP, among other outlets, that he is not interested in fighting Mosley. Mayweather plans to return to the ring early next year. Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank has already said that he plans to negotiate with Mayweather's team next month, provided Pacquiao wins. There is a tentative date of March 13, 2010 for Pacquiao's next fight. "I sit back and think sometimes, God doesn't want me to lose," Mayweather said. "I believe that in my heart. Every morning I thank God for what I have, because God doesn't make mistakes."
If there was a God, God probably doesn't give a shit about boxing. Like Evander with his "God wants me to knock out Lewis in the 3rd round". Sounds like bullshit anyway, if Pacquiao gets past Cotto (no sure thing), then Mayweather and him probably fight.
mayweather jr is fulla shit. if he doesnt wait for the winner of the cotto fight or face mosley then there is no one available.
Ha ha. Now God doesn't want him to lose? My guess is PBF is the only one in the entire world who doesn't want him to lose. And the way he picks his opponents surely suggests he has no faith in God's ability to keep him from losing. The fact PBF would try to imply God doesn't want him to lose - it's clear PBF is scared to death of losing. Hence, he will not fight Mosley or any other welterweight.
It says he isn't going to wait for the winner of Pac vs Cotto and he will move forward with his comeback. In bold it says he is "Not interested in fighting Mosley"
If the referee preaches, "Though shalt not turn your back on your opponent" ,... from a bible passage in my avatar, (the glorious book of boxing rules), it wouldn't take long for Fraud to start screaming like a demon.
PBF knows that Mosley would be too strong and too determined for him. He's afraid and intimidated by Mosley. That much was clear in his interview following the JMM fight. It's hilarious that PBF felt he needed to ask Mosley to respect him as a man. Ha ha ha. What a bitch.
Who ever the winner of Pac vs. cotto will be, they call Mayweather's mother a cunt and the fight will be made.
Floyd is right. He can't wait for these geezers, time is running out. Floyd just should move on and fight the best, and not wait for the outcome of the fight.
So he should fight Mosley? He already said he's not going to. So WTF? Plus, the Pacquiao/Cotto fight is happening less than two months after PBF's next fight. It's not like he's going to have to wait any longer. He's just a posturing bitch. Fuck him. I'm not buying his next PPV unless it comes against a fellow welterweight. In other words, I'm not buying it.
BOB ARUM SAYS "FLOYD SHOULD FIGHT SHANE" By Rick Reeno BoxingScene.com sat down with Top Rank’s Bob Arum to discuss the possibility of a Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao encounter in 2010, and a variety of other related topics. The biggest hurdle to make that fight is the money. Mayweather, on more than one occasion, has gone on the record and made it clear that he won’t take a 50-50 deal to fight Pacquiao. He often cites his pay-per-view numbers as a big factor in demanding more money than Manny. In at least two interviews, Mayweather has taken the position of demanding at least a 60-40 split in his favor. “60-40? That’s music to my ears. If I start hearing 60-40 – that just tells me to hang up [the phone] and move on to the next guy,†Arum said. Arum would like to see Mayweather accept the challenge of Shane Mosley. He honestly believes Mayweather will never accept a fight with Mosley because of the risk factor involved. Mosley’s style, in Arum’s opinion, would give Mayweather hell. “I think Cotto probably beats Mayweather. I think Manny probably beats Mayweather and I think Mosley beats Mayweather. I think Shane Mosley, because of his style, has the best chance to beat Mayweather,†Arum said. “The fight that should be made is Mayweather and Shane Mosley. But Mayweather won’t take that fight. He won’t take any fight where there is any possibility where he might lose. Money is secondary with him. He will not take a chance like a normal fighter. He cares more about his legacy and being able to retire undefeated, so he could say that he never lost a fight.†Another potential opponent for Mosley would be the winner of Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto, set for November 14. Regardless of the winner, Arum would like to see both of his fighters give some serious consideration to Mosley as a possible opponent in 2010. “I think Pacquiao and Cotto should give Mosley some serious consideration. The reason I made the fight [Cotto-Pacquiao] is because Cotto beat Mosley and both of them [Cotto-Pacquiao] are my fighters,†Arum said.
