Mayweather Thrash Mosley with Drug Issues Too
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not yet finish with the drug testing issues with Manny Pacquiao; he also trashes Shane Mosley with it. The undefeated boxer brought up Mosley’s doping history during the press conference for the Mayweather vs. Mosley held at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square, New York City.
Mayweather quoted in Associated Press, ‚ÄúI can’t say how many fights Shane has won in the past because we know Shane was using enhancement drugs. That’s something we do know.‚Äù
‚ÄúIt’s no different than Pacquiao. I offered Pacquiao the fight. I said, ‚ÄòWe’ll give you $25 million.‚Äô I never met a man who wouldn’t take a $25 million drug test,‚Äù continued Mayweather.
Mosley admitted to taking steroids ‚Äúunknowingly‚Äù in 2003 after being forced by a former strength and conditioning coach to do so as part of his training. Although Mosley did not react to Mayweather’s statement, the boxers still had a minor scuffle during the press conference which prompted their team members to intervene.
On previous interviews, Mosley said that he doesn’t care what Mayweather talks. All he cares is the money he could win from the match and the chance to fight against Manny Pacquiao.
Mayweather was supposed to fight Pacquiao on March 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada but negotiations did not push through because of the drug testing issue. The Pinoy boxer opted to fight Joshua Clottey instead. The Pacquiao vs. Clottey is scheduled on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
On the other hand, Mayweather takes on Mosley who supposed to fight against the Haitian boxer Andre Berto last January but it did not push through because Berto’s family was affected by the devastating earthquake occurred in Haiti.
