Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley May 1st ??

While Manny Pacquiao has moved on and plans to defend his WBO welterweight title against Joshua Clottey on March 13 in Dallas, Texas, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been left without a solid option for his next fight. Mayweather is still scheduled to return on March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas but there appears to be a chance that Mayweather might push his return to May 1 and fight Shane Mosley for the WBC/WBA welterweight titles - if Mosley gets past Andre Berto on January 30. May 1 is a date that Golden Boy Promotions has been targeting for the return of Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand.

Mayweather is taking a chance here sitting on the bench. If he sits back until January 30 to see who wins that fight, any shot of a Mayweather return on March 13 is out the window. If Berto wins, it's not likely that manager Al Haymon will allow two of his boxers to fight each other. Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told the Los Angeles Times that Mayweather is ready and willing to fight Mosley.

"At 147 pounds, the man to beat is 'Sugar' Shane Mosley," Schaefer said. "Floyd will take that fight, and will shut up all those who are saying he's a coward."

Props to Floyd if he does this. This is that prime elite WW that is missing from his resume.

I don't know about Mosley still being in his prime at 38 but he's still a tough challenge for Floyd.

Hey he beat the man (marg) who beat the man (cotto) who beat the man (mosely) the hypothetical wins be all to easy for Floyd as long as Mosely beats Berto.

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make there but Floyd never fought Margarito if that's what you were trying to say.

No im saying mosely beat marg, marg beat cotto, and cotto beat mosely, and floyd fans always say he could beat so in so and it only makes it easier for them to do that.

Ok gotcha

Ok gotcha

Ok gotcha

Not sure why that happened

lol

So now we got Pac vs Clottey and maybe FM vs Shane.I like both fights,but not as much as Pac vs FM.Oh well if they both win those, that fight will be even bigger.

This a fight everyone wanted to see anyway and will still do a shit ton of buys. Cool.

Big risk cause if either lose I dont want to see the fight as bad anymore. So although I think they both would win its still a chance.

no way he fights shane he will duck him once again cause floyd couldnt stand a loss on his perfect record. I call it now he fights paul maggilioni (spelling?).

It just came out today he's fighting on March 13 to go against the pac PPV so he won't be fighting Mosely. Hopefully he fights Cintron or Bradley.

Bradley will be a good fight but floyd will kill Cintron.

I just worry about how Bradley will do at 147. Floyd can't make 140 and from the JMM fight we all know how Floyd treats catch-weights.

Agreed. Either way at least Pac and Floyd are fighting legit opponents and not bums.

As much as I like Desert Storm I am desperate to see Floyd face a Welterweight.
