With all the delays in signing and a reported rematch clause put into the fight contract, it makes me think that Mayweather Jr doesn’t really want to fight Shane Mosley. And, in my opinion, the biggest reason he doesn’t really want to fight Mosley is because he’s scared of him. Let’s examine this further.
"I believe this fight he got pushed into because the Pacquiao fight fell out, so he got pushed into this fight. He really didn't want it." Shane Mosley from interview with Fanhouse
Shane is correct in this assessment. Mayweather really didn’t want to fight Mosley. However, I’m beginning to think that Mayweather doesn’t really want to fight anyone. I think he would rather create the illusion that he’ll fight all the best fighters in his weight class, but in the end, he won’t. If Mayweather truly wanted to fight Mosley then why all the hesitations, delays in contract signing, and a rematch clause?
Delayed Signing
Jeff Lamonick of West Sacramento, CA “Mayweather has been ducking Mosley for 10 years now. Of course he will be hesitant and delay the signing.“ It’s been officially reported by ESPN that Mosley has signed the fight contract. It’s also been reported by ESPN that Mayweather Jr should be signing the contract in the next 2 days. However, with Mayweather’s history of ducking Mosley, there’s really no guarantee that he will sign the contract in 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 months.
Rematch Clause
My fellow Examiner Michael Marley has reported that Mayweather Jr demanded and received an immediate rematch clause in the contract. Ryan Inzko Roseville, CA “If someone demands a rematch clause then they obviously have doubts.” Ryan you are absolutely correct. For a man who claims to be the best in the world, demanding a rematch clause doesn’t bolster any confidence. In fact, it says the opposite. It says that you think you might get beat.
This rematch clause also proves that the Mayweather critics, including Shane Mosley himself, were right in their assessment that Floyd has been ducking Shane for the last 10 years. Bottom line is this, Shane signed the contract and Shane jumped into the ring after Mayweather’s fight with Marquez to challenge Money Mayweather.
These delays and rematch clauses prove to me that Floyd Mayweather Jr is and has always been scared of Shane Mosley.
