Mayweather Makes Mega Fight With Mosely

He may not get Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao in the ring in the next few months, but Floyd “Money” Mayweather will still take part in the biggest fight of 2010 when he and Sugar Shane Mosely lock horns on May 1 in Las Vegas.

The hating is sure to begin. The opinions have already swarmed the Internet and all the fodder will make for an explosive night.

“This one is definitely for the fans as I wasn’t going to waste anyone’s time with a meaningless tune-up bout and asked to fight Shane immediately,” said Mayweather. “I have said ever since I came back to the sport that I only wanted to fight the best. I think Shane is one of the best, but come May 1, he still won’t be great enough to beat me.”

You kinda have to feel Mayweather. In 40 fights, he’s figured out every opponent he’s gone up against and should he make good on his guarantee(s), it’s entirely likely that others will make excuses for Mosely. Money waited too long to fight the dude... Mosely was over the hill... it’s all bullshit.

If he thinks he can beat Mayweather, why should anyone make excuses for him in the aftermath?

“I have always wanted to fight Floyd and now it is finally coming true,” said Mosely, who signed his side of the deal last Friday in Las Vegas. “I am already in great shape and ready to show everyone on May 1 that I am stronger, faster and better than he is. I will have no problem beating him.”

See?

Even though Mayweather is faster, a smarter boxer and an overall better talent, Mosely is absolutely confident he’ll walk away from this fight victorious.

We shall see.

Oh... and he (Mosely) agreed to Olympic Style drug testing. At least he ain’t no Pac Punk.
