There was a glimmer of hope that Floyd Mayweather might come out of his 14 month retirement when he instructed management to explore fight offers, but that seems to be fading away in light of recent news. Fresh off his demolition of Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley’s team made Floyd Mayweather an offer to match up, which has been rejected.

“I was told by [Mayweather's manager] Al Haymon that Floyd was not coming out of retirement to fight Shane Mosley,” Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told SI.com. “I feel bad for Shane. It’s as if he looked too good in his last fight. It was the best performance of his career and maybe it made some guys not want to face him.”

There’s still a possibility that Floyd wants to fight Manny Pacquiao this fall, but at this point it wouldn’t be a great idea to hold your breath. I can’t think of any welterweight opponents that would be terribly compelling to watch in a bout with Shane Mosley right now aside from Floyd. Margarito is suspended, Oscar is washed up, Hatton and Pacquiao are unavailable. This leaves Andre Berto (who isn’t ready yet), and a rematch with Miguel Cotto.

If push came to shove, I guess I’d take the rematch with Cotto over everythng else.
