Mayweather Says Mosley Missed His Chance, Twice

29 Sep 2009 16:27       hits 12186 Print version

If Shane Mosley thought last weekend's stunt will lure Floyd Mayweather Jr. into a fight - he was wrong. Following Floyd's dominating win over Juan Manuel Marquez last Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Mosley and his Golden Boy Promotions partner Bernard Hopkins entered the ring. A war of words broke out between Mosley/Hopkins and Mayweather.

"I guess Bernard Hopkins told Shane Mosley to get in the ring and be disrespectful but like I said before, Shane Mosley is a good fighter, I wish him nothing but the best in his career and the only thing I want to do is continue to be the best I can be in my career," said Mayweather.

Mayweather said Mosley blew his chance at a fight in 1999 and once again in 2006. Mayweather points to age as the reason for Mosley pressing so hard for the fight.

"In 1999, we tried to fight Shane 10 years ago and he turned the fight down and then in 2006 when he fought Fernando Vargas, right after the fight he said he had a toothache and he wanted to go on vacation with his family. I guess now that he's 38 and his career is coming to an end and everybody knows they can make huge money with Floyd Mayweather, everybody is shooting shots at me. But I wish Shane Mosley nothing but the best in his career," Mayweather said.
