Mayweather Jr. tells Mosley “You’re going to have to earn my respect”
March 21st, 2010
By Esteban Garduno: Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (40-0, 25 KO’s) had some stern words for Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KO’s) in their sit down interview with HBO analyst Max Kellerman recently, saying “Come May 1st, he’s [Mosley] going to have to make me respect his skills.” Mosley and Mayweather will be fighting on May 1st at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is a fight that could break the previous pay-per-view record set by Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya in 2007 when their fight registered over 2 million PPV buys. Richard Schaefer, the CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, predicts that Mayweather-Mosley will bring in over 3 million PPV buys.
The one that thing that Mosley has going for him is his age. At 38, he’s getting up there in age, and we could see the effects of his age shown against Mayweather. To add to that, Mosley hasn’t fought in over a year since beating Antonio Margarito by a 9th round stoppage last year. Mosley says that it won’t be an issue for him, but you have to wonder whether the ring rust will be there for him in this fight. Mayweather isn’t the type of fighter you want to fight with any kind of ring rust weighing you down.
As for the rest of the interview with Kellerman, Mayweather repeated all his standard lines that he uses in all of his interviews, saying “40 have tried and 40 have failed…etc.” There really wasn’t any new and interesting things that Mayweather said that was any different than what he’s been saying over and over again without stop for the past month. One thing that Mayweather did say was when he gave Mosley credit for beating Margarito, saying “I’m happy for him. He’s a black American, and I’m a black American.”
The rest of it was the boring stuff like “There’s no blueprint on how to beat me.” Mayweather needs to have someone come up with material for him to say before different interviews, because he repeats himself far too much for a talented fighter like him. Comedian Bob Hope had a joke writer that would write material for him every time he would go out in public for an event. If he knew he had to talk even a little, Hope was ready with new things to say. Mayweather says the same thing in every interview. I’m surprised he can’t come up with new stuff on his own.
If Mayweather wins this fight, he’ll have a chance in theory to fight Manny Pacquiao. I don’t for a second believe that Pacquiao will ever face Mayweather, even if he agrees to drop his request for random blood testing. I think Pacquiao will look in another direction rather than take on Mayweather.

floyd 41 n 0 does not sound as good as manny 7 division champ.
since floyd does not know how it feels to lose a fight i belive
hell go off the rails after manny adds him to the stats.
crazy as it sounds but mosely will become victim 41 in a set up
match.mosely will be paid off before the fight.with a deal to be
struck with manny a month later for the biggest and baddest fight of all time.um yeah and manny won this one to.
Pac is not afraid of May, and May is not afraid of Pac. But fighting eachother is going to test both their abilities. I think May knows he is the better boxer, but with Pac’s power it can be lights out for anybody, where Pac also knows he’s going to have a difficult time touching May who would be a drastic change compared to Pac’s previous spoon fed opponents.
If Floyd is afraid of Pacman, then it should be better that Manny retires. Manny has nothing to prove. He is already the fighter of the decade, and he accomplished that without Floyd. He doesn’t need Floyd. It’s nonsense that Floyd returned from retirement if he is just too afraid to fight the best which is Manny. Tsk..tsk..
@JAYSMOOTH says:
yes, you are right when you say US independence, but we are talkin on terms of drugs and cheating.. You can say he violated the rules that one time but you can’t say he is a cheater bc a cheater is someone who continiously cheats. You the moron.>>>>
what do you call Margarito when he used the illegal plaster? He was proven guilty once.
And please explain that to TheRocksMotherr. He is calling me moron thinking I was the one who said this: “First off, one time is not a history, its one time. A history is something that has accured more than ones.”
If Floyd drop his random testing request, Pacman already said he’ll “fight him anytime, anywhere” and “winner take all”.
@jaysmooth, who among those cherrypicked by floy could beat cotto? not marquez, definitely not mosley. what floy did pac did it better. floy split with odlh, pac retired odlh in his stool at 8, (floy..ouch!!!) floy almost went down in the 1st rd with hatton and kod him in 10, pac flattened hatton in 2, (floy..ouch!!!) floy scared of cotto & ducked him, pac demolished cotto, (floy ouch!!) pac denied floy and choses clottey, (floy, ouch!!) no wehere to go, had to chose a 39 years old inactive mosley. pacman fighter of the decade, floy fighter of the decayed and fighter of senior citizen! (jaysmooth,,ouch!!!) cry like your idol LMAO hehehe
@kray..daddy, daddy is pacman really retiring now? floysr “” he wants to fight you idiot! and he called our bluff now he wants blood testing! floy jr “” what should we do now daddy, i dont want to lose daddy, do something daddy. tell the public he is an alien, please daddy!! floy sr””thats a good Idea my son, you got my brain””. floy jr..yeah daddy, like father like son. Then I will ask the commission to dissect his body to prove he is not an alien if he wants to fight me.. yey!! bwahahahaa
if manny agrees to the olympic blood testing until the day of the fight that mayweather is asking, would mayweather agree that the weigh in should be made on the fight itself?
just askin’!
Mayweather better have respect for SSM or it will be lights out for FMJ on May 1. Mayweather’s team has respect for SSM, this is a first of “no thrash “talking from Mayweather Sr. or Roger about FMJ’s opponent. The only thing Roger has said, is that this fight comes down to who could follow their gameplan the best and FMJ is going to have to punch for this one.
I’ve debated with a few Pac fans, who post on this site, that are truly fans of the sport. They may not like Floyd, but, they can admit he is one the best in the sport right now, and that he has a good chance of beating SSM and Pac. Conversely, I admit that SSM and Pac could beat PBF. All 3 of these guys are at the top of the sport. They all have athletic gifts and years of ring experience. However, the fighter with the best game plan, is the one who will come out on top. It’s not the one with the most KO power. If it were, then SSM takes it all…hands down. It’s not the one with the fastest hands. If it were, then Pac takes it all, because he throws more punches faster. It’s not the one with the best defense. If it were, give it to PBF, right now.
Each of these fighters most recent bouts have been more like checkers than chess. But, when their official 3 man tourney begins, it will definitely be chess. And the person that comes out on top will be considered the “Bobby Fisher” of boxing, IMO.
So, I know true boxing fans aren’t criticizing PBF’s choice to fight SSM. After all, this is the same SSM who Freddie Roach was not willing to put the #1 P4P fighter in with, roughly 6-7 mths ago– when SSM was the WW champ, ranked as high as Cotto (if not higher), and willing to make every possible concession. Not to mention, he was at least 6-7 years older than Manny.
But, when Floyd is taking on the challenge, because, its the best option out there, right now, SSM is all of a sudden not a worthy opponent. Again, true boxing fans know what that perception is based on.
Being that this unofficial 3 man tourney IS the biggest thing in boxing right now, ALL 3 men should submit to a testing regimen that will ensure they are UNQUESTIONABLY clean. Why should there be any doubts in the minds of boxing fans, or, especially, the boxers themselves? This is bigger than what Floyd said or did, or what Manny said or did. I think Floyd put it best when he said this is “sportsmanship at the highest level”. Say what you want about PBF’s antics outside of boxing, but, what he’s expressed about the need for better testing, by any means necessary, is not a foolish statement. ALL of these guys SHOULD be tested thoroughly. If not, they can go fight someone else, for less money and notoriety.
Mosley’s fought the best that the welterweight division has to offer (for ten years no less), it’s not Mayweather’s respect that needs to be gained. Many more fans of boxing respect Mosley and not Mayweather, yet again Floyd’s delusional ego comes right to the fore. Well done Mayweather, you are the weakest link!
De La Hoya, Marquez, and Gatti were not in their prime when they fought Mayweather. Mosely is not in his prime right now either. I expect to see Mosely fight well and try his best against Floyd, but the ring rust and age will show and Floyd will frustrate him and win a somewhat lopsided decision.
Tigger, who in the WW division, has Floyd avoided, except Margarito? He fought Gatti, Corales, ODLH, JMM, all in their primes. He also fought them as they were in winning streaks, if you look it up. Not after suffering a recent loss, or too old, like your boy Manny. Who else has he avoided? Simple question.
jay smooth you got that all backwards !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, moron..so you say US independence day is not history?
IF these blood testing is regulated by the boxing commission do you not think Pacquiao should have agreed already? If mayweather wants his blood sucked or his ass examined on fight night let him, but as long as no commission says so…pacman is not dumb to do it. Yeah, you could let your ass examined as well just don’t ask anybody to join you.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
yes, you are right when you say US independence, but we are talkin on terms of drugs and cheating.. You can say he violated the rules that one time but you can’t say he is a cheater bc a cheater is someone who continiously cheats. You the moron.

@jaysmooth, no amount of sinister campaign by floy to tarnish pacs image could twist the history in his favour, floy will be regarded in the history of the sport as the most overhyped boxer in the sport who ducked the best, a self proclaimed best and primadonna, he will be remembered as fighter of the DECAYED!!lol
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
who has manny fought that is better than anyone that Floyd has fought throughout there career. When you look at there resumes look at the time they fought them and where their competetion were ranked when they fougth eith Floyd or Manny. Who has Manny Proved his worth against. FLoyd has fought several good fighters unlike Manny. You can say he has fought bigger fighters but those bigger fighters were weak and washed up. Prime example is Clottey on March 13, yes he fought and beat him but Clottey didn’t fight back, yes he fought and be Cotto but Cotto was drained. He beat De la Hoya and Hatton but so did Floyd. So, again i ask you who has Manny fought that gives him all this creditability that everyone is giving him. I don’t see it on his resume.
Fighter> Good points dude. I would disagree however with the comment on Clottey. After his last performance, I would give him a “D” for too dam DEFENSIVE. When you get an opportunity to fight the top guy in the division you are suppose to fight like you have never fought before. I doubt anyone will give him another title shot. What a waste because the guy actually has some skills. Also, Shane is awsome no doubt, but I think Margarito made him look lightning fast because Margo is turtle slow.
fm will not fight any meaningfull fight after mosley .fm talked his way threw the ww division with the exception of marquez .floed will never be a great ww .fm ducked all the best ww until now (mosley )finally.
idiots.. manny is going to retire this may..and this topic is not about manny..
@Prettybabe. This particular article is about Mayweather and Mosley, for the most part. But if you want to mention Manny, let’s mention how he turned down fights with Floyd AND Shane.
Manny’s not going to fight Mosley, or ANY meaningful fight in the WW division. We already see him posturing to fight Margarito, and other beaten, broken, has been, or never will-be types. That’s Manny’s history. His M.O. is to fight these types of fighters. ODLH-out of his prime. Hatton-garbage to begin with. Cotto-coming off a devestating loss to Margacheato. Clottey-a B fighter, who admitted before the fight, that he would allow Manny to throw 30 punches, then counter with 4 of his own. They knew what type of fighter he was before he fought him, that’s why he took that fight,m and many others. Shane would destroy him. Did you see what he did to Margarito, who is more known for a tough chin, than Manny? Watch it in slomo. Shane is a bad dude. That’s why Freddy came str8 out and said, that Mosley was just too god a fighter for Manny.
KFC —-”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.”
Few could fault Floyd for wanting his own children to have a better upbringing than he had though, even if he isn’t necessarily going about it the right way.
Fighting whoever will give him the biggest pay day and saying titles are meaningless are one thing, but allegedly having a friend shoot at someone outside an ice skating rink in Las Vegas or getting into feuds with rappers at nightclubs doesn’t quite fit in with wanting his kids to have a stable home life.

@who dat,
dude, thats the difference between pac and floyd.
pac fight for honor & dignity, not bcoz of money.
even if he comes from a 3rd world country he doesn’t
allow someone to bully him (like accusing him of PEDs).
that PED issue came out when the mayweathers saw how
pac demolished hatton & cotto. (they can’t believe what they saw)
thats when mayweather sr. came out with that issue.
bcoz deep in their heart pac could crush floyd exactly the same
as what happened to cotto & hatton.
….even though he earns so much awards he remains a humble guy…
i’m a floyd fan, he’s a great boxer but i don’t like his attitude.
he always depends on his big mouth, he says i’m the greatest boxer of
all time, better than ali, robinson, leonard, etc. etc….. that’s a big sh*t.
let the BWAA or the Ring Mag or any boxing authorities manifest that.
…… and lastly, i can’t imagine if mosley upsets him come may 1st.
his name will vanished as fast as his big mouth….LOL

————————————————————–Are you bieng serious, in order for something to be deemed ‘history’ it means it has happend in the past regardless of how many times it has occured, you stupid little fillipino don’t call others a mornon when you sound even more moronic yourself
@ aha
You actually tink Pac is a bigger draw than Mayweather, be serious kid! when pac and mayweather both fought marquez who got the larger ppv burate..?? Myweather did, as he did for the Hatton and the delahoya fight, so I think ive just proven your stupid little theory wrong.
Pactard fans arn’t fans of the sport of boxing they are fans of their national hero… BIG DIFFERENCE
floyd is fighting a shot-fighter, i.e., old mosley…
hah! that’s how pac-haters always say about pacman… now, let’s do their thing and say it against floyd: he’s fighting an old, washed-up fighter, who fought more than a year ago.
but then again, washed-up mosley can crack his egg.
so, go mosley!
whoever wins this fight (floyd vs. shane) is p4p the best fighter out there period….shane is the welterweight champ right now and floyd is the the best so the winner is on top !!
a history and history are two different things.
First off, one time is not a history, its one time. A history is something that has accured more than ones. >>>>>>>

the USD10 mil per excess pound penalty is fair for both fighters and this was done BECAUSE mayweather HAS a history of breaking this rule. random blood testing is disadvantageous in pacman’s side because they are fighting in mayweather’s natural weight (you see manny will need to gain weight). now, if the fight is set to pacman’s natural weight, and these two rules were made…(how about increasing the penalty to USD20 mil?) would you mayweather fans agree the fight to happen? anyways, i think time will come when manny has adjusted and become comfortable to the welterweight level, and the random blood testing is no longer an issue. i hope mayweather doesn’t have alibis by then. peace…
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
First off, one time is not a history, its one time. A history is something that has accured more than ones. What weight division ur in doesn’t depict if it you are affected by Blood testing? Manny is considered a Welterweight now so what do you mean its not his normal weight. He choose to fight in this weight division so its his normal weight now. Quit making these lame excuses..He has been fighting in the WW division for 2 years now..How long does it take for you to get comfortable in a division. Be Real dude, you suck

Yes Ali was a trash talker, but he in a different way.
Ali was great boxer because he fought all the greats during his era. Mayweather skipped, Cotto, Margo, Mosley (til now), Williams,>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He didn’t skipp any of those fighters; He didn’t fight Cotto or Margo or williams because they didn’t have an identy before he retired, they weren’t big money draws at that time. Cotto maybe, but he was experience enough and thats why his camp didn’t even think to challenge Floyd. they saw what Floyd had done to Oscar and Ricky and didn’t want no parts of him. With Mosley, Floyd call him out 2 different times and he complained about his tooth being losse, he had to go on vacation and he had to ask his wife. So, he did’t skip anyone they all could have stepped forward and challenge him but they didn’t, until now. He will fight each one of them if they really want it and the money is there.

2.9 million buys? Are you serious? I don’t think even Pacquiao/Mayweather could pull that many buys, you’re in way over your head. Over 2 million is tangible for two top American fighters. You have to remember Mosley isn’t a PPV fighter. This fight will do really well, second to Mayweather/ODLH. 3 mill, in a recession, no way.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Oh, ok. I see now. Now we are in a recession and people aren’t going to spend that type of money to watch a fight. So, why were you and the other Pac Fans bragging about the 50,000 plus people showed up to watch Pac fight in Dallas. You are soo biased and twisted. Here is two reason why the fight could top De la Hoya vs Mayweather. These are two fighter who have been wanting to get at each other for years and its finally happening. the other reason is Floyd Marquez brought in 1+ million PPV and add that to the first reason and its sells more than 2.5 ppvs.
get in the ring and fight pacman. poor~

I like Mosley in this fight. (Yes, I’m a Floyd hater)
Mosley can’t out-box Mayweather but definately has the power to hurt him. (Marquez did not)
Mosley will have to go for the knockout which is very possible if he get’s a couple good shots in.
I think Mosley can do that.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
All that you are saying about Shane Applies to Mayweather as well. I think some of you underestimate the power that Floyd has. Pacquaio trys to knock boxers out in the firt 6 rounds but Mayweather will box you for the first 8 and if he has the opportunity to knock he will. but he isn’t going to be aggressive in the end because he is probably already ahead by 5 pts once the 9 round comes. but if you slip up he will knock you out. Just like he did Hatton..

manny normally doesn’t mention a fighters name postfight…he always leave it for the promoter. but i sense manny is annoyed of the mayweather camp…smearing his name and dicrediting his achievements….this time round post clottey fight interview…he called out mayweather. and we all know what his intentions this time.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Are you a real boxing fan? If you are you should know the Mayweather is his own promoter. Thats why he has company is called Mayweather promotion. So, all the trash talking is about promotions. Could you just do something for minute. Go out to the home page of boxing 24 and read some of the headers on other post about other up coming fights. What you will see is other fighters talking trash to each other, saying things like: ” I am going to KO this person by this round”, “I am going to make him wish he never stepped in the ring with me” and the likes there off. So, what Floyd is doing everyone is doing so what makes Manny excused from being talked down upon.
@Johnson says:
This is boxing and what we are concerned about is what takes place in training camp, interviews and the boxing ring. We don’t care what is going on outside of boxing. If you are looking to get into be a talk show host or something by bringing up someone personal life, then this might not be the forum for you.. Maybe you need to go and enter post on Oprah or Dr. Phils Forums. So, ignorant.
In the end, HBO and GBP WINS!!!
@SOUTHPAW TRUTH
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT YOU SAY THE AUTHOR HATES MAYWEATHER…I CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION AFTER READING THE ARTICLE…NOW I AINT SAYING WHO WILL WIN BUT IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING. THE AUTHOR KEPT ON GOING ON ABOUT WHAT MAYWEATHER HAD SAID AND THE FACT THAT HE REPEATED HIMSELF OVER THE LAST MONTH BUT NOTHING ABOUT WHAT MOSLEY SAID??? MMMM STRANGE EVEN THOUGH EVERYTIME SHANE SPKS ON FIGHTING MAYWEATHER HE SAYING HELL DEFO WIN AND IT WILL BE HIS FIRST LOSS ETC…
PLEASE…IF YOUR GONNA WRITE AN ARTICLE THEN TRY NOT BE A LITTLE ONE SIDED…AS YOU ARE A BOXING WRITER I TAKE IT (LIKE ME) YOU ARE A BOXING FAN BUT I AM AFFRAID YOU ARE COMING OFF AS A MOSLEY/PAC FAN WHICH IS THE NORM WHEN SUCH AN ARTICLE IS WRITTEN….

If I were Mosley i wouldnt be concerned about getting any respect from Mayweather.
He has none to give he heaps it all on himself while having no problem trying to discredit the name of fighters like Manny Pacquiao.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
He does it to everyone including Pacquaio. He trash-talk because it is apart of the game. Its the psychological warfare associated with boxing. If Manny is weak and lets Floyd get in his head, he will not stand a chance because Floyd will continue to talk Trash in the ring as well. Look At Wladimor Klistcho his talking trash to David Haye and they are not even scheduled to fight. This his been a part of boxing for decades and Floyd is good at it. He also gives fighters alot of respect after every fight…
@mr.sweetsci… maybe your one of Mr Tygart assistants? your just want to get paid man!
or maybe floyd you changed your handle again? LOL! your excuses are too way off! please man.. why can’t you just fight?! Or Did your boyfriend Oscar still give you advices about those stupid accusations…
@the rock
Your a mug, so you think there has never been a drug test that has caught PEDS… What about the british rugby player who recently tested positive for HGH… Yet another silly litle pactard ”licking his nuts” you neeed to grow up kid
if you have little or no knowledge about drug testing at all, please stop arguing. it’s a little embarassing on your part.
@kray: I stand corrected, but we still aren’t going to see the fight if both fighters are too stubborn.
10oz gloves are the default glove size for all fights over 135 lbs, in Nevada (since about 5 years ago). But, the Nevada commission allows for fighters to negotiate on whether to use 8oz or 10oz gloves.
@The Rock.. Well said man…
Who Dat.. How about the Klitschko brothers? or maybe Evander Holyfield? or Mike Tyson? since the 2 were out of retirement. just pick your choice… and oww by the way i Forgot The Giant Nikolai Valuev? is that enough for you? hehehehe
That shows that PBF knows about Manny’s power and wanted 10oz gloves to pad the punches from Manny. Doesn’t matter because both sides are too stubborn to give the fans the fight they want.
8oz gloves is the norm up to 147lb fights in Nevada.
Who Dat again,
Paul Williams is fcukin’ 6’2 and Manny is 5’6. Paul Williams nearly has a 2 feet reach advantage compared to Manny. What next…Manny vs a Bengal Tiger or Manny vs a Silverback Gorilla?? STFU…The People’s Champ The Rock is getting annoyed with the idiot Floyd fans who kisses his nutsack.
This author really hates mayweather and his conclusion revealed how stupid this writer is. Pacquiao will not fight mayweather because he will lose against mayweather simple as that. Go to youtube and search pacquiao exposed and youll see
All the analysis and fighting words for Floyd are just a waste of time, There wont be any fight come may 1. Floyd has mastered the Art of Dodging. If ever he ahows up, at 33 fighting a 38, its like 2 old men dancing in the ring. After Pacquiao, who wants to see 2 old men?
manny will be to fast too many punch combos and too much power
for floyd to handle.floyd will be left in his peek a boo defence
like clottey and running like cotto to survive the later rounds of the comming tko that will end the fight.i qoute mannys last five belts or fights who all ate his power and dont give me this drugs thing bull crap.floyd does not own a boxing division
or major belt to make such descisions.oh by the way shane will give the fight to floyed as these two are best of mates and
business partners that dollors will win in the end when the deal is signed between manny vs floyd or floyd fans floyd vs manny.no joke de la hoya promotions has it all.
For 3M PPV buyers, what a frustrating experience that would be. The sale should contain a provision for refund. 3M PPV sounds more a fantasy anyways.
For a guy who doesn’t show any respect, he should rip what he sows.
What can’t you just fight manny! Just call him out! Pacman says he will be ready anytime if you really want to fight him! You, Pac, L. Lewis and Tyson at the same time I will rumble with for 40 million, and even take a few blood test in between. Because i’m not afraid of them, and I d!mn sure isn’t afraid of a needle lol. See, thats honesty again. no excuses, no imma be weak, no I got tats all over my body but needles make me light headed, no excuse at all. Shane taking the same test as Floyd, no problem. But I forgot, blood test is not a commission rule, but 10 million dollar penalty is. GTF outta here.
PPV buys for this fight may reach even 5M if it is sell for $10. The gate tickets will be sold out if it is buy one take one like the Mayweather-JMM fight.
This fight (Mayweather-Mosley) didn’t even mention how much purse money involved. What I read over and over as sitpulated in the contract are random drug test and automatic rematch. They better fight in the steet of Nevada rather than in the MGM Grand. Mosley will have more chasing than boxing.
Paul williams will not beat Floyd or shane. We talking the same Paul williams that was floored by Sergio? LMAO…..okay
Pretty Babe Floyd, once again, reading is fundamental! I never said Pac was guilty of anything. I said COULD BE BE USING PED’S, YES, IS HE WE DONT KNOW. Could you be using drugs, yes, do we know, no! Random blood test would definetly give us an answer however. So dont put words in my mouth. Have I several times given Pac his due credit and said he is a great fighter, a hall of fame fighter, yes! That doesn’t make me anti Paul Williams, that means I’m honest. Is Floyd a hall of fame boxer, yes, is Shane a hall of fame fighter, yes. That doesn’t make me anti Paul Williams, that makes me honest. Did Floyd cherry pick some opponents, yes. Did ali, yes, did Pac yes. Every boxer looks for matchups and styles. But people like you cant give floyd his due credit. He beat ODL first, he beat Hatton first, he murdered Marquez, He beat in prim Zab, he stopped hall of fame Gatti, I could go on. Doesn’t mean anti Pac, thats honest. Pac murdered ODH, he murdered Hatton, doesnt mean im anti floyd, thats honest. No blinders, no picking one over the other based on race or creed, thats honest. Try it sometimes, it actually is a good thing.
@Who Dat? yeah relly i believe that Paul Williams will destroy pacman because he’s just too tall for manny pacquaio! imagine 6’2″ will fight 5’6 1/2″?
And also manny is not my god! i’m just a fan of manny and i’m just telling the truth about floyd! What can’t you just fight manny! Just call him out! Pacman says he will be ready anytime if you really want to fight him! Don’t Talk do the Walk man.. peace brother! hehehehe
I can’t wait for the face off in the ring, it’s been a long time coming & there will be so much attitude, like Jones/Tarver.
I don’t think Mosely will pull off the W, he’s a few years too late. But, I do believe he’ll bring the best game he’s got & he still has a lot of game. May has never been in with someone who has wanted him so bad & Mosely is a warrior.
@Who Dat? really? who’s in fear and ignorant now? okay for arguments sake? Please tell me why people like you always bashing manny pacquaio about those PEDs.. cheating.. and etc.. etc.. while, as you have said, MJ cheated his wife.. Tiger Woods cheated his wife.. and even a high profile personality cheated their wives.. so how would you know that only manny is a cheater? just because he beat up big guys? Floyd come on just fight manny just don’t talk and talk… do the walk man.. please??????
Keep it boxing. Paqul Williams will destroy Floyd, Shane, and your god Pac, now what?
My brother is married to a very nice Asian woman, My mother is White, My brother-in-law is Rican. Far from racist bro. I pay good money to live in the neighborhood I live in because I have mixed children you. So before your limited narrow mind, stereo-typical, only relate to African-Americans thru BET, thinking thats how we all are, ignorant self start making accusations about racist, you need to talk to the man in the mirror and tackle your own fears and insecurities. It dudes like you I pay good money to live where I live to keep my children from having to deal with because you are ignorant!
@Who Dat? hey floyd how would you know that you’re not the one who is Honest? by using Xylocaine? and your father is a drug dealer same as your uncle roger? so who’s the criminal now?
Pretty Babe Floyd, I did not say he was on PED’s, I said ” could he be, yes, do we know, no” Reading is fundamental. Hook-On-Phonics dude. Read before you post.
Mayweather must have balls to fight Pacquiao.
Hey Rock, what you gonna say next, I’m anit everybody lol? Nawh, I’m honest first with myself. Pac is a great brawler, like Tyson. Floyd is a pure boxer like Ali. Thats not anit Pac, thats honest. Tyson got destroyed why? Because he had no defense, all offense. Evander showed and everybody knew Evander was gonna kill Tyson why? Because Evander is a boxer. Dude if you can’t be honest with yourself, who can you be honest with?
And I still say and believe Paul Williams will destroy Pac, Shane and Floyd!
PAC wont fight FLOYD because FLOYD will expose PAC, plus PAC will only fight if he has advantages. Thats why he beat COTTO. LAS VEGAS requires 10 oz gloves for a WW fight why does PAC want 8oz. if he doesnt wanna give in to FLOYD’s one demand then he should drop his and just fight, stuff liike this makes PAC look more guilty and now a lawsuit. oh my some tough guy he is. PAC could clear his name by fighting floyd and winning. and IF he took the blood tests, and “IF” he passsed and a big “IF” he won then no one would question him not even his haters, but when he walked away from the fight he gave his haters more ammunition to hate on him.
If a strong offense wins then why did MOSLEY lose to WINKY wright.
If PAC really wanted to fight FLOYD then he woudl have just agreed to the 14 day cut-off, but he didnt because then he could not use his PED’s like he wanted to. So PAC is the one who DUCKED FLOYD. If it was not for PAC we would already have seen PAC be beaten by a superior boxer by the name of FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.
I wonder if mosley body doesn’t respond fight night,he off and cant find the power to hurt floyd.
will he later change his mind and blame his weakness on having blood taken? .remember you have 13 liters that 1 gal 4 cups of blood that american blood center says it will not replenish for over 2 weeks plasma in a day.
floyd doesnt throw much so its doesn’t affect him as much.
To Oh Snaps,
The Rock remembers when Floyd Mayweather Jr accused the Philippines of making the best enhancement drugs. The Filipino fans are like any other fans, whether they are Mexicans, Black Americans, Africans, Russians, Panamanians, Brits…etc…they will root for their nationality…its been done by EVERYONE. It is wrong. Yes…it is but in the end, it is like that in all of sports. You root for your team. And if your team is a winner, you will defend it to death. It is like that with Manny Pacquiao. It was like that with Roberto Duran. It was like that with Lennox Lewis if you are Canadian. If Manny Pacquiao was a Columbian, he would get his share of rabid Columbian fans. It happens to all nationalities…not just the Filipinos. The reason why the Filipinos are so damn rabid is because Manny Pacquiao is our first true cross over superstar whose popularity has become worldwide. Manny is like the Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods of the Philippines. The Rock remembers there were many Michael Jordan this and Michael Jordan that from the Black Americans. Michael was as popular as Jesus Christ. If you were to talk bad about Michael Jordan, be prepared to be bombarded with not so nice words. So The Rock will remind you, Manny Pacquiao fans or the Filipinos are no different from everyone else.
To Me,
The Rock wants to know what drugs are you taking. In boxing you need both offense and defense. But defense doesn’t win fights. You can’t score on defense. Offense wins fight. You can’t hit if you are on the defense. You can’t make a person submit on a defense. You can’t KO a person on defense. This is not football. You can’t score on defense in a fight. In the history of boxing, name The Rock one fighter that has won strictly on defense. You must have some offense or else the judge will declare you the loser because you refuse to engage in a fight. In fact not so long ago, when a fighter only does defense and doesn’t or barely engages in a fight, he won’t get paid. Thats true. The promoter will refuse to pay you. So don’t tell The Rock defense wins championships in boxing. This is not football idiot!! In boxing, offense wins.
why does everyone say Floyd runs like that’s a bad thing but fail to mention how his oppents don’t have the skill to cut off the ring. people ran from Tyson and many others but if your better you would break him down or catch’em with a shot. to me that means he’s more conditioned and a better boxer rememer power isn’t nearly enough to become great nor is just running so PBF & PAC gotta be doin more than all these haters keep saying, right?
Being both from golden boy promotion and Mosley a part owner of it, Sugar knows the real score behind the blood testing demand of Floyd to Pacquiao. So in this fight mosley has the upper hand mentally and that will factor tremendously in winning this fight.
LETS JUST NOT FORGET ABOUT GREAT POWER.
mayorga huh? pbf wins that 120-108 easily but great def. beats great off. 9-10 I never heard of offence wins championships
Be honest with you, I would like to see if Floyd could get past the big and wild Mayorga like Oscar and Shane did. I really don’t think so. He definitely couldn’t knock him out. Also, I think Mayorga would be way too strong and wild for Floyd.
just read the word for word in a article on another site,these guys like each other,their no feeling or believing of its a war,dont think 3 millions is possible their going to do theater tickets sold as pay fer views again,for one thing mayweather fight with marq.was on Cinco de Mayo day that explained the huge mexican buys.lucky to get 1 millions.
IVe notice this mayweather 3 fights since oscar ,marq,now may 1 has been in may, superstitions?
Lord Hughey Sanchez, please explain to me how Floyd is dirty.
Strong Offense wins fights, please give me an example of when a strong offense beats out a strong defense. Please don’t say football because we saw what happened with this years super bowl where the high flying offense juggernaut team lost to a team with a better defense. We saw The year before that the high powered offense again lost to a more defensive minded team, as was the case the year before that. Now one thing you left out in your assessment of Floyd is that he has the highest boxing IQ of anyone in the game. He is a mouth runner outside the ring, but inside the ring there is nobody more focused and well rounded than him.
Oh Snaps…you’re pretty funny..but make some very very valid points.
Boxing is not a personality contest, it’s about skill and execution. In the game today there is no better skilled fighter than Floyd. Some of these Pac fans are out of touch with reality. They will say that Floyd has fought a bunch of nobodies, YET 2 of Pac’s opponents on his rise to fame were people Floyd had previously defeated.
THEY ARE COMING TO SMOKE HIM AND SAYS THAT MOSLEY IS GOING TO HAVE TO EARN HIS RESPECT LIKE IF HE’S GOING TO BRING THE FIGHT TO MOSLEY.IT WAS MARQUEZ AND HE COULD NOT FINISH HIM WHAT IN THE MAKES HIM THINK THAT MOSLEY WILL JUST WAIT FOR HIM.YOU SEE THE WAY I SEE IT PACMAN HAS POWER MORE THAN SPEED THATS WHAT GETS HIM BUY THESE TOUGH GUYS BUT FLOYD HAS NOT FOUGHT ANYBODY THATS A POWER AND SPEED GUY LIKE MOSLEY.THE BLUEPRINT IS OUT AND IS REAL SIMPLE DONT BE SMALL,SLOW OR WORRY ABOUT FLOYDS POWER AND USED THE LACK OF EXPIRENCE HE HAS AGAINST BIG TOUGH GUYS.THE WAY HE GOT HYPE UP WHEN MOSLEY SAID OLD FIGHTER SHOW ME THAT ALL HE IS WAITING FOR IS THAT MOSLEY WILL AGE FIGHT NIGHT.BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT MOSLEY IS OLD BUT NOT DAMAGE AND HAS A LOT OF RAGE INSIDE FROM BEING OVERLOOK AND FLOYDS MOUTH IS JUST HELPPING MOSLEY GET MORE HEATED.
NOT ONLY WILL MOSLEY CRUSH FLOYD BUT HE WILL SHOW ALL OF BOXING AND FANS HOW GOOD FLOYD HAS BEEN IN FOOLING PEOPLE WITH HIS MOUTH!!AND THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT FIGHTERS FOR WHO THEY FIGHT AND NOT THE PPV BUYS. BORING FIGHTER BEEN PLAYING THE D-GAME EASY! WAIT TO MAY HAS TO PLAY REAL OFFENCE AND FIGHT LIKE HIS CARRER AND LIFE DEPENDS ON IT…
i tell you early now, this fight will be a boring fight…. because floyd will use his backpedaling skills and runs most of the fight and will not fight toe to toe…. thats what pacquiao is different from them. He fights like he owes it to fans… i bet this will reach 600thou PPV max.
When Pac fought Marquez and the decision was read, many of us said that wasn’t the fight we say? Dude, what are you talking about?
Did Mayweather/Castillo 1 never happen?????I saw that fight over and over and i am convinced that Castillo won the fight.Lampley even said when the decision was made for Mayweather “”its not the fight we saw.”"
lol, oh I know, it aint that serious to me either. Pac or Floyd is not about to pay a single bill for me or us. I work at a place with Filipino’s and other nationalities, when we have our lunch breaks, they all say the same thing, if they dare speak against Pac they peers treat them like they have committed murder or something, like they have turned their backs on their country or something. To me thats not being a fan, thats being a hostage whereas a person cannot speak their rightfully god given mind and express their own opinion. I have heritage pride, but I’m freethinking. There is no doubt in my mind that either of the Klitsko brothers will destroy Haye. But these guys take it to a whole different level. They really believe Pac is unbeatable, when he already has losses under his belt. Nothing wrong with simply admitting Floyd is a pure boxer unlike Pac, but given Pac explosive nature he will make it one hell of a fight, might win or even make it close. But they afraid of what their peers gonna say, so instead of speaking the obvious truth, they turn a blind eye and suppress their true thoughts and feelings. Now that I think about it, isn’t that the equvelant of a mental slave?
wELL, Yes, you are correct. But that is a case of people that represent their country over anything else. boxing just ain’t that serious to me to vote just because of what country they are from.
just my two cents in the PPV argument. Floyd/Mosley will do between 1.4 million buys and at tops 2 million, and don’t get me wrong, those numbers are HUGE. People talking about over 3 million are just not being realistic, and this is coming from a Floyd fan.
I THINK MAYWEATHER WILL DEFEAT MOSLEY. BUT I WOULD LKE TO SEE MAYWEATHER GET HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM.
I agree Bo – Margarito the cheat. Only thing you can say about thim is he has unbelievable stamina and can take punches with the best of them. In the end, a cheater though.
I enjoyed the hell out of watching SSM throttling him. Dude – shane can toss some serious punches. Problem for him coming up in the fight against PBF though, is that Flloyd will not be there when the punches arrive as he is just too fast.
I suspect this will be a masterful display of lead-right potshots followed by holding, over and over again. Not fun for the fans to see but it will work as Shane will never get out of the way of that lead right rocket. Make no mistake, PBF is not going to sit around and trade shots with Shane. I think a great goal for Shane would be to see if he can land 10-15 punches per round. He’s going to need to be snapping 2, 3, 4, 5 and more jabs into PBF’s face as he is coming in to avoid that potshotting technique, and be in position to throw some close hooks.
I think you’re outmatched Shane but I’m cheering for ya!
I think Mosely’s only chance is to hurt Mayweather early and often enough to take Floyd off his game and win a UD. Other way is to KO Floyd. If this does not happen, I do not think there is much chance that Mosely will outbox Floyd. This may be what Floyd means by earning his respect… if Mosley does not hurt Floyd early and often enough, it will allow Floyd to fight his fight, in which Floyd would win.
Mayweather is just so immature, which is why people don’t like him. Did you hear him in the press conference as to why he picked Shane over Oscar.. because he is black. I am black, but real people know that race has nothing to do with who you like in sports. That was very immature of him say that especially on public tv. Also, he has not fought any real legitimate welterweights, except Oscar, that has power and speed. Shane has mainly fought bigger and stronger guys and definitely does not duck fighters. Shane has a lead right hand which Mayweather has not experienced, expecially from a fast and powerful puncher. I just don’t think Mayweather’s small frame can withstand the power of Shane. We will see..
i am a pactard, if that’s how you call it, but esteban garduno is a floyd hugger.
floyd-shane will be just a repeat of floyd-oscar. shane and oscar are the same: they fight toe-to-toe, which is perfect for floyd.
if manny fights shane today, it will be the same as manny-oscar. but if manny fights floyd, now that is really interesting. floyd is a master of free-wheeling where he adjusts as the fight progresses; manny studies his opponent so zealously before the fight and devises a fight plan. that is what makes a manny-floyd fight so intriguing: one is free-wheeling, the other follows a plan. isn’t there a more exciting fight than this?
Funny folks talk but know nothing about the sport. First Mayweather is a good fighter but over rated. Not half the fighter nor does he have the resume Mosley has. De La Hoya, Vargas, Vernon, Wright, Margarito, and Cotto at there prime would have easly had there way with Mayweather. Floyd could not knockout little Marquez and did not respect weight, took eight rounds to knockout smaller hatton, Zab schooled him half the fight past his prime, Castillo beat him first and lost second. Look at these fighter now and compare them to Mosley, not in same class. Pacman also has an elite resume and fought ev1 in there prime for exception of De La Hoya.
Margarito s no cheat lol, so what he had cement in his plaster gloves. But seriously, there is no telling how long this dude got away with cheating. Thats why if you check, you dont test, cheats will always get away. This is why Pac must must submit to the test.
Dey C, why do people always mention Margarito when we are talking about elite fighters he sucks and he is a cheat!
No doubt Mayweather knows how to make money.. Being able to keep it from his wild spending spree is a whole different story.. Thats why he came out of retirement.. he owes the IRS..
Still so full of himself lke his opinion is really a big deal . Floyd Mayweather is so self appreciating he sees himself as someone who should be looked up to in giving respect. Who cares?
If I were Mosley I’d rather be glad to earn respect from any ordinary man on the street who can really give more meaning on the word RESPECT.
For a small donation of 49.99 I will put something togehter for you and email it to you explaining money making decisions and wise investments. Dollars and cents 101.
Floyd also OWNS his own promotion company. So even if him and Pac fought, at the end of the day, when the money is distributed Floyd still has more than Pac because Pac has to pay Roach,Arum and everybody else. When you work for yourself you pay you, no overhead. Dollars and cents 101.
@Dey C, now do you understand the business of boxing in Mayweathers perspective? It make no sense to fight Clottey…No money doing it!
Mayweather dwarfs Pacquiao in business deal making.
How can Pacquiao allow Bob the Anus Arum to take 27% right off the top of his earnings? Pacquiao also has to pay GBP a percentage as well.. Now calculate Pacquiuao’s earnings???
That’s a leading statement. BOTTOM SHELF alcohol has seen an increase in revenue. Movies haven’t been hit as hard. That’s a $10 ticket, not $60 for 30 min of entertainment. More people will watch per household. Less individual sales, I gaurantee you, it will not do close to 2.9 million. That’s just ridiculous. ODLH was the biggest draw in PPV because of the Hispanic community, Mosley is no where close to ODLH in terms of draw. If you think Mayweather can bring in 3 mill himself you have another thing coming.
It will do well. Over 2 mill is very good, just use logic and take of the blinders for a second. If 2 HUGE draws can’t do it (Pacquiao/Mayweather) one big draw and another medium draw can’t.
some of you ppl believe that if a boxer loses a fighter, the next time they fight someone, they’re already “Damaged”
some fighters out there can bounce right back and learn from their mistakes. look at Pac. he lost 3 fights, but that doesnt stop him. so stop making excuses that fighters like Hatton, Cotto, are already “Weak” after their fight with Flo. ODLH is probably in it for the money so he doesn’t count =P
I just wanna see a good fight without the DRAMA…
This ain’t freakin WWE….
Mayweather makes his money mostly because of his acts outside the ring.
How much would Mayweather vs. Clottey be at Texas?
No nearly as much as what Pac vs. Clottey made.
What’s up with this race thing….
Yes Ali was a trash talker, but he in a different way.
Ali was great boxer because he fought all the greats during his era. Mayweather skipped, Cotto, Margo, Mosley (til now), Williams,
@Dey C, it makes no difference, Its another ticket sold! Fans with love or hate…are fans just the same!
Do you think they ask that question when they are spending that $59.95 for HD? Mayweather likes them both because both add to his paycheck.
(How many African Americans and Hispanics do you think HATE Minnie Pacquiao)
Remember, Ali was also hated. He ran his mouth, he flashed his money also. Whats the difference? Great is great, and when you have the skills to back it up in the ring then you can say what you want like Floyd and Ali. Thats a fact for your a@@.
@Wowzabean, let’s wait and see the numbers. In recession times, the things that flourish are alcohol, and entertainament.
The majority of people who watch Mayweather fight is to see him lose.
No matter how good of a boxer Mayweather is, he is the most HATED boxer.
Sorry Mayweather fans. This is the truth.
d@mn wowzabean lol, dude called you out lmao.
2.9 million buys? Are you serious? I don’t think even Pacquiao/Mayweather could pull that many buys, you’re in way over your head. Over 2 million is tangible for two top American fighters. You have to remember Mosley isn’t a PPV fighter. This fight will do really well, second to Mayweather/ODLH. 3 mill, in a recession, no way.
We’ll never know how good Flo and Mose after this fight. Flo after a long leave and a JMM tune fight is still not enough. Shane after a long rest and at 38 years old if he still has enough left. Just have to wait till after this fight who is the real deal.
I hear people always comparing FLOYD’s past opponents and how PAC did against them, well FLOYD pretty much destroyed the one guy who gave PAC the hardest fight of his life. PAC beat a weight drained ODLH, but ODLH was just in it for the money. HATTO, well he was already beaten by MONEY so he was easy pickins, COTTO never wanted to fight MONEY so we can throw that out the window. I dont remember FLOYD forcing a CHAMPION to come down in weight and put his belt on the line either. MONEY fights the best because he is the best. PAC whines until he has the advantages so he can win.
@Todd, has anyone ever landed solid punches on Mayweather, let alone a KO shot? I like the way you appreciate Mosely’s speed and skills. Because after the fight you will DEFINITLEY appreciate Mayweathers skill after he makes such a talented fighter in Mosely, look dull, average, and slow. I completely agree, Mosely is a Hall of Fame fighter. Mayweather will make him look like a fighter new to the game.
I like Mosley in this fight. (Yes, I’m a Floyd hater)
Mosley can’t out-box Mayweather but definately has the power to hurt him. (Marquez did not)
Mosley will have to go for the knockout which is very possible if he get’s a couple good shots in.
I think Mosley can do that.
PAC is a fraud. I remember when FLOYD had a split desicion over CASTILLO, FLoyd fought him again and beat him desiciveley. I also remember PAC have a close bout with Juan Manuel Marquez, but PAC ran away instead of giving the FANS what they wanted. We can see who the real chicken is. PAC could have gave JMM a re-match, because even filipino people were saying that PAC did not win that fight, and when your own people don’t think you won, then you didnt win. SO money is still p4p KING. PAC is all hype.
All, just please keep in mind. Shane’s only losses were to guys that were larger than him, with Winky being a southpaw. At 147 Shane will have the blazing speed same as when he was the 147lb champion. Also keep in mind, Mayweather is for sure fast at pot shotting, he is not all that fast with combinations like Shane and Pacquiao. Shane will knock Maywather out before the 5th round. Mayweather for sure does not want to face Pacquiao. He would definitely get hurt and knocked out. Look at what Pac did to big Clotty’s solid defense. Mayweather’s defense is not as good as Clotty’s, or is Mayweather as big as Clotty. Mayweather’s petite frame will not be able to withstand the power of Shane Mosley.
people let’s wait and see for a few months to come what’s gonna happen!but i’m not gonna watch floyd-shane fight!i will not allow them to devour my money for ppv!no way!after all those thrashing floyd have said!this is a show not a boxing fight!
@says
Mayweather Marquez was at a catch weight of 144lb. Mayweather even came in 2 pounds over the agree catchweight.
Pac fights onlly when he has the advatages, look what he did to cotto. never seen floyd need a catchweight
Clay! Isn’t Mayweather just been accosted by lying he does’nt know the gun shooter in that bowling parking mall incident? Mayweathers are family of liars and you’ve been had.
@Johnson, I’m sorry my friend…All roads lead through Mayweather. How much can Pacquiao command against anybody other than Mayweather? Mayweather will earn more in this fight than Pacquiao can in 4 or 5 subsequent fights.
Mayweather will earn the same vs. Mosely, vs. how much he would have earned facing Pacquiao. $10 Million vs. Clottey? Mosely will earn $40 Million OR MORE in the fight with Mosely…
I so want the fight with Pacquiao to happen with EITHER Mosely or Mayweather becasue both of them will expose the Manufactured Bob Arum hyped media production they have created with Pacquiao. How on God’s green earth do you get such acclaim without facing the best which happen to be African American boxers? No way…No how!!!
manny normally doesn’t mention a fighters name postfight…he always leave it for the promoter. but i sense manny is annoyed of the mayweather camp…smearing his name and dicrediting his achievements….this time round post clottey fight interview…he called out mayweather. and we all know what his intentions this time.
@ cassius clay. i think the mayweathers are the biggest liars of all. and are a bunch of crackeads.if i list all the things that has happened outside of the ring for Floyd jr and his camp…to start with..the IRS. i dont have enough words to make a comment here. i think you have been drinking the same cool aid as floyd sr. floyd jr. has never been tested..it’s because he never fights a real contender on their prime. all roads lead to pacquiao now…p4p king now. fighter of the decade. accolades floyd jr will never achieve even if he hangs around boxing for the next five years. as long as pacquiao sticks around. floyd jr. will always be #2. you can claim all the PPV…but at the end of the day…who’s the number P4P king…it is manny.
if pac is an easy 40 million dollar fight why did floyed refuse it .
@Wowzabean
Uh…yeah id Slap the Sh*t outta you internet Thug!
C Clay,
I don’t know if you’re new to this site, I’m not an internet “thug.” When people post BS I call them out, you really think Pacquiao is a liar? He wasn’t even in the article, so bring something constructive or don’t bring anything at all. Whatever I type I say, and yes I’d say it to your face, and NO I really doubt you’d slap me.
Mayweather will make Shane Mosely look lethargic and slow. It won’t be anything of the sort, Mayweather will make Pacquiao look the same. Just watch, Pacfans will say, Mosely was Old, rusty, slow, sufferering from a long lay off etc…When in reality, Mosely could easily kick Wapakmans ass.
IMHO, Mayweather fights Mosely and wins easily. Pacquiao should also fight Mosely for the opportunity to face Mayweather. Pacquiao IMHO loses to Mosely.
Floyd would make excuse after excuse! Pacs ready to fight anywhere anuthime. Mayweather just tying to make it look like he wants to fight but really doesnt cause he knows he aint backing down with HIS drug policy. Last time i check Mayweather didnt run boxing or anything else but his big mouth!
its funny how floyd seems to always be scared of someone then when he is matched up with that person there is reason made up to why he beat that person b4 the match. he was scared of delahoya— he was scared of hatton —– he was scared of mosley now he is scared of manny. he is the best at his sport. and will do 2 million plus for his match with mosley not to mention will make 40 million doin it. like he said he doesnt need manny to make crazy money. people still watch him. funny to me how everyone haited ali due to him talkin so much. they talked bad about him for over 10 years. then all of a sudden everyone loves him.
Mayweather will win
I think this is a tough fight for floyd considering shane demolishd antonio and looking really fresh like bernard hopkins. Ever since working nazeem richerdson, shanes power n aggressive tactics and new found endurance will give floyd a hard time n will be goin for knock out against floyd.
This will be a tough fight as one will be the agressor n the other counterin on the back foot. So my prediction it will either be a SD to floyd or a late tko to shane…..im a big floyd fan and i aint going to underestimate a shane win!
who you guys picking and what you guys think their tactics should be?
@wowzabean
Another internet thug i see. I wonder if you and i were face to face, would you still talk so reckless? I dont think you would cause i’d slap the Sh*t outta you…
“The one that thing that Mosley has going for him is his age.”
Another typing error?
Cassius,
Shutup, bring something to the table or don’t come to dinner.
Mayweather gon tko shane in the 9th or 10th and Ko Manny in the 5th to 8th… Mark my words, the the guy is that great.
Mayweather is a chump. He’s scared of Manny, pure and simple. He will keep avoiding him because he knows that Manny will knock him spark out.
I like both guys. This is a boxing fans dream fight. I would like to see Mosley win but I feel if Mosley couldn’t win against Cotto and struggle against Mayorga, how is he going to beat Mayweather?? I can’t wait for May 1st. Our questions will be answered.
If Floyd beat mosley.. Def! He earn mah RESPECT…. Seriously
This fight will be lucky to do 1.5 million buys (which would be a massive success, btw) but breaking the record or Schaefer’s delusional claim of 3 million will not even come close.
Mayweather is a chump. He’s scared of Manny, pure and simple. He knows, as well as the rest of us, that if he fights Manny, Manny will knock him spark out.
@Ukansodoff
Manny discredits himself. He’s a liar and if some of you would actually pay attention instead of being ignorant, you would see the truth. Its no point to argue with most people on this site but i said it before and i’ll say it again; Pacquiao is a liar! Freddie Roach is a Liar and has been caught cheating with James Toney in the past. And Bob Arum is the biggest Liar of them all. Put all these men on one team and its equal to OJ Simpson’s defense team.
Mosley a good fighter but Mayweather will give Shane a boxing lesson. Some say Floyd will run, I say he is playing to his strengths.He’s not the strongest but he is the best boxer there is now. I love both guys so I will hate to see either one loose.But Floyd will win on points.
agreed!!
youre very right Estuban. Pacquiao will not fight Floyd. Pacquioa will make excuse after excuse.
I’l have to admit that Mayweather may be too good for pacquiao but he’s still a jerk
