Mayweather vs Mosley Won't Be A World Title Fight

Floyd Mayweather is not going to fight Shane Mosley for a world title this coming May 1 in Las Vegas. “The Money Man” refused to pay the World Boxing Association’s sanctioning fee. The five-time world champion insists that his legacy is more important to him than fighting for “Sugar Shane’s” welterweight title.

Mayweather doesn’t want to fight for the WBA title. At this point, enhancing his legacy is far more important. He said “I’ve done a lot of things in this sport, things that a lot of fighters weren’t able to do in the sport and didn’t do in the sport. This fight with Shane Mosley will enhance my legacy.”

Mayweather has won all 40 of his professional bouts and also a six-time world champion at five-different weights. He describes his opponent as “a solid welterweight with great accomplishments.” Mosley is a fighter who always worries on landing one big shot, while Mayweather worries on who is extremely strong. He also added “We approach fights in two totally different ways. When I shoot my shots, I am looking at my opponent. When Shane punches, a lot of times he closes his eyes.” Mayweather is confident that Mosley is going to be in good condition. He even assures that they will put on one hell of a show on May 1.

Like he always says “there is no remedy on how to beat Floyd Mayweather. Everyone is trying to solve the problem. It’s like a difficult math problem that no one can solve. No one can solve it. The ultimate goal is try to solve the problem. How to beat Floyd Mayweather? I know what I have to go out there and do.”

Mayweather-Mosley 24/7 Episode 2

Mayweather-Mosley 24/7 Episode 2 - In the second episode of HBO’s Mayweather-Mosley 24/7, Floyd Mayweather Jr. began the episode by making fun of Shane Mosley’s remarks on how he’s not fighting Mayweather for the money. “…You’re almost 40-years-old, you better be fighting for a check, you stupid mother fu$k3r”, said Mayweather.

Mayweather added: “I just watched 24/7, it’s more like this, some people are talented and some people are gifted. Shane Mosley, I don’t take that away from you Shane. You’re talented… I’m God gifted.”

Shane Mosley stressed that Mayweather is saying a lot because he is intimidated.
“I think sometimes when people start do a lot of barking, it kinda shows that they might be a little bit intimidated, a little bit of afraid.” He added, “…I don’t bark. I bite and my bite is very deadly.”

Pacquiao vs Mosley better than Pacquiao vs Mayweather?

Mayweather vs Mosley Fight
Many analysts believe that a Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley fight is more entertaining than Pacquiao vs Mayweather, according to Emmanuel Steward.

Steward is recognized as one of HBO's boxing commentators and a Hall of Fame trainer, said that a Pacquiao vs Mosley is much better.

“The true, true really explosive fight that the true fight fans would look forward to would be with Shane Mosley and Pacquiao,” Steward said on an interview with On the Ropes Boxing Radio.

Although Steward admits that most of the fans are eager to watch a Pacquiao vs Mayweather, but because of the fighting style between Pacquiao and Mosley its a better fight.

“I mean you know that Shane is going to bring it to you, I mean that’s him. There’s no way he’s going to run from anybody or try to be technical and if things get rough he’s still going to fight,” said Steward, who was behind the boxing successes of Tommy Hearns and Lennox Lewis.

Pacquiao and Mosley are alike when it comes to never backing down on a brawl. This made Pacquiao a very popular boxing champion.

Mosley wanted a Pacquiao fight after the Champion knocked out Ricky Hatton in the 2nd round.

However it never played between them so the Champion went for Miguel Cotto in the welterweight division.

Floyd Mayweather got out of retirement and opted to fight with Shane Mosley since his demands for a drug testing didnt worked out for Manny Pacquiao.

Watch out for the May 1 Fight, Who R U Picking? Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley on HBO 24/7.

Manny Pacquiao Speak Out on Floyd Mayweather, Shane Mosley

This week when Manny Pacquiao came home to the Philippines after defeating Joshua Clottey at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, he spoke to reporters in regards to Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. Although Pacquiao strongly feels "Money" Mayweather Jr. needs him more to bolster his career, he is open to fight "Money" Mayweather Jr. anytime.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, in regards to fighting "Money" Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao stated: "I am open to him fighting me anytime he wants to." That to me sounds like Pacquiao is ready for Mayweather before he calls it quits
(retires). There has been a lot of talk (reports) that Pacquiao could or may retire before facing Mayweather.

Of course for Pacquiao to even consider facing "Money" Mayweather Jr., he must first get past "Sugar" Shane Mosley, who he faces on May 1st.

In regards to "Money" Mayweather vs "Sugar" Shane, Pacquiao feels Mayweather should win, but told reporters on Monday he will fight Mosley should Mayweather fail. "He should win against Mosley," stated Pacquiao, adding: "If not, Mosley and I will fight."

Is Floyd Mayweather Doing Boxing a Favor?

By Ryan Dunn:

I just read a great article by Lem Satterfield regarding the USADA testing protocols being employed in the Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley, “Who R U Picking?” Superfight coming up on May 1. I have to say, the more I read about the protocol and how it applies to the world of boxing, the more enamored I become with it.

I like the idea of fighters providing whereabout information up front, so that they may be found any time, any where, to be tested for any performance enhancing drugs by the doctors for the USADA. I also like the idea that there are “real” penalties; like a possible 2-year suspension and disqualification for the bout itself.

Travis Tygart, president of The United States Anti-Doping Agency explained how the testing would work in the Mayweather-Mosley fight, which is taking place in the wake of Mosley’s fight with Berto falling through, and Mayweather’s negotiations with Pacquiao falling through. But this match-up may serve a bigger role in boxing than what happens inside the ring.

While I may not entirely agree with Mayweather’s motives for demanding the USADA protocol in his negotiations with Manny Pacquiao, he and Shane Mosley have both agreed to the same stringent request. In fact, by putting the heat on Pacquiao, Floyd may have inadvertently (or intentionally) just done boxing the biggest favor in recent years.

By instating this rigorous testing protocol (random, unlimited blood and urine all the way up to fight-night) for a match-up which will be heavily promoted (by Golden Boy Promotions), publicized (by HBO’s 24/7 and the media/internet), and viewed (by us, the fans), he will put his new regime center-stage for the world to judge. And who doesn’t support clean boxing for all parties involved? Boxing is a dangerous sport; people can die inside the ring; boxers often starve themselves of nutrients in order to make weight; and nobody wants a juiced up opponent knocking the life out of his opponent.

Of course those are extreme circumstances, but they are realities nonetheless, whether you think steroids can turn you into the Incredible Hulk or not. Which brings this back to the point: If things go the way I think they are going to go (there are already rumors of the Boxing Commissions considering rule changes in their drug-testing protocols as early as this September), then Floyd Mayweather will have single-handedly transformed the landscape of boxing as we know it.

I am of the opinion that no single athlete is bigger than the sport they are paid to perform, and Floyd is no exception. I disagree that drug-testing should be allowed to be negotiated in a contract. I think that boxers, if they want rules changed, should bring their cases to the rule-makers, so they can instate them in a professional manner. And yet… Floyd Mayweather, by bringing his case to the court of public opinion, may have fast-tracked what would have otherwise been a slow and rigorous process consisting of endless lobbying, back-room negotiations, and painful deliberations.

In a perfect world, boxers and their promoters (and Vegas) should have less control over the sport, with more control going back to the Boxing Commissions. John McCain had it right when he requested there be a National Boxing Commission which oversaw all boxers for total equality, and I also agree with Floyd Mayweather whole-heartedly that the sport needs better Anti-Doping policies put into place as soon as possible. (I’ll save my invasive vs. non-invasive drug-testing rant for another article.)

So let’s all take this moment to thank Floyd Mayweather Jr. (whether you love him or hate him) for exposing a true weakness in the sport of boxing. And let’s hope that his controversial road to repairing the sport can translate into something ultimately positive and effective toward the evolution of Boxing Commissions across the country.

Does Pacquiao Lack the Ring Expertise to Beat Mayweather, Mosley?

By Esteban Garduno:

I have to admit that what I saw of Manny Pacquiao against Joshua Clottey didn’t give me a feeling that Pacquiao could beat or even compete with the likes of Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Boxing is a science, a sport of the mind if you will. The fighters are ones that are experts at ring strategy and who know how to capitalize on their opponents mistakes. I see Mosley and Mayweather being the ultimate ideal at coming up with a strategy to beat their opponents and then following it to the letter. Sadly, I didn’t see that from Pacquiao in his fight with Clottey.

If there was a strategy behind him throwing 1200 punches – many of them seemingly aimed at Clottey’s gloves for some reason – I can’t understand it. I can’t see Mosley and Mayweather throwing punches at an opponent’s gloves for 12 solid rounds. And I can’t see either of them throwing 1200 of those punches, knowing that most of them are getting blocked.

Those guys would have gotten a clue probably immediately that it’s a waste of time to throw punches down the middle straight at Clottey’s gloves. So why didn’t Pacquiao figure this out? Why did he waste punches round after rounds, just spraying punches at Clottey’s gloves, as if he was hoping they would drop at some point. I think there no was real plan behind it.

It seemed like madness to me to throw punches that were being blocked. It was impressive that Pacquiao could average 100 punches thrown per found for 12 rounds, but that’s not really a big deal. A lot of fighters can do this. He’s not the first or the last fighters that will throw that many punches.

Bigger fighters like Joe Calzaghe, a super middleweight, and Paul Williams, a light middleweight, both have averaged over 100 punches per round in a lot of their fights. The difference here is that they seem much better at placing their shots in areas where they feel that they have a better chance of landing.

What I saw of Pacquiao in his fight with Clottey was a fighter that was just throwing a massive amount of punches without aiming them. I couldn’t make out what Roach was telling Pacquiao in between rounds, because he was whispering to him a lot of the time. However, I would like to have hoped that Roach was telling Pacquiao to start doing a better job of throwing shots in different areas than just the gloves of Clottey.

Trade Words Face to Face

To further hype their welterweight mega-fight on May 1 in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBA champion Shane Mosley sat down with HBO's Max Kellerman to tape a face to face segment where both fighters would speak on a variety of topics from their decade long rivalry.

Kellerman brought up last September's verbal confrontation between the fighters, which took place when Mosley entered the ring after Mayweather won a decision over Juan Manuel Marquez.

"When it got crazy in the ring. I told them 'I'm not the matchmaker, I'm not the matchmaker. Eventually I will make it happen.' Everything takes time and I'm happy that we're facing each other on May 1st," Mayweather said.

Kellerman brought out a magazine from 1999, where Mayweather and Mosley were featured on the cover and the title of the cover page said "who is the future of boxing?" Kellerman asked Mosley for his opinion on why Mayweather, between the two of them, went on to become such a mega-star. Mosley thinks it's a combination of Mayweather's mouth and his skills.

"He has the gift of gab and he really talks a lot of smack. I have to give it to him because he's been backing it up and beating these guys down," Mosley said."When I get in there you are going to feel me. You are going to feel every bit of me."

Mayweather answered back - "Come May 1st he's going to have to make me respect his skills."

And then Mosley cut in - "The reason I fought [Antonio] Margarito is because I wanted to become the best welterweight out there and I did that."

Mayweather hit back - "I proved that I'm the best. That's what you're here to try to do. 40 have tried and all 40 have had a gameplan. Out of the 40, some say 'oh, I hit hard, I'm super strong or I'm fast."

Mosley brought up a moment from the year 2000, when he was undefeated and one of the best pound for pound fighters in the sport. He went to Mayweather's dressing room before a fight and claims Mayweather told him 'I think you're a great fighter and I want to be just like you when I get up in the ranks.'

Mayweather jumped in - "Guess what Shane, I never wanted to be like no fighter. I wanted to be the fight Floyd Mayweather. Like I said, come May 1st you're going to have to make me respect your fighting skills."

Mosley - "And I will."

Mayweather - "But you're going to have to show me."

Mosley - "I'm going to show you and everybody else around."

Mayweather - "You're going to have to show me. You don't have to show them, you have to show me."

Mosley - "You're going to find out too."

Mosley was asked for his opinion on Manny Pacquiao turning him down, while Mayweather agreed to fight him.

"I realized one thing. He fights for money. He wants to be the best but he wants to make sure the money and the check is in there. He wants to fight the best guy. Pacquiao didn't fight him so he fights me, the next best guy with the biggest paycheck," Mosley said.

Mayweather answered to Mosley's claims -"Who wants a million dollar face with a few dollars in their pockets. People don't know what I went through in life. My mother was on drugs. I never had a stable home. My dad went to prison. I want my kids to have something. Like I said before, when it's all said and done - all belts do is collect dust."

Kellerman asked Mayweather for his opinion on Mosley's win over Margarito.

"I was glad he won because he's a black American and I'm a black American. Of course I rooted him on, I wanted him to win," Mayweather said.

Kellerman asked Mosley for his thoughts on how a fighter can beat Mayweather.

"He gets in there and razzle dazzles and potshots these fighters. They run trying to bully him. And they don't realize that he's been doing this all his life. My style is versatile. I can box when I want to. I can punch when I want to. I can go toe to toe or whatever. That's what makes me difficult. I can hit you with either hand. So you really have to figure out what I'm going to do," Mosley said.

Mayweather later said: "Who wouldn't want to put Mosley on their resume. May 1st, I'm going to be the same Floyd Mayweather."

Mosley said - "May 1st is going to symbolize Mayweather's first loss."

And Mayweather said - "He's a fighter, he's supposed to say that, but guess what - there is no blueprint on how to beat me."

Drug Testing Detailed for Mayweather vs Mosley Fight

Representatives of boxers Floyd Mayweather Jr., Shane Mosley and Golden Boy Promotions on Thursday revealed their anti-doping procedures for their May 1 welterweight title fight in Las Vegas.

The head of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, Travis Tygart, said Mayweather and Mosley will be subjected to random urine and/or blood tests from now "until and after the fight." In addition to urine tests for steroids, blood tests will be implemented to search for such performance-enhancers as human growth hormone, synthetic hemoglobin and blood transfusions, Tygart said.

A positive test, Tygart said, would leave the boxer suspended from the sport for two years, a condition he said both fighters have agreed to.

Mayweather's desire for a more stringent testing program than what Nevada offers — random urine testing before and immediately after the bout — contributed to the failed negotiations to stage a fight against Manny Pacquiao earlier this year.
