‚ÄúNow it’s time for the world to focus on May 1 when I promise you nobody will be sleeping except for Floyd after I knock him out and send him back into retirement,‚Äù these are the words of the WBA welterweight super champion when he was interviewed about the recently concluded fight between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey.
Shane “Sugar” Mosley said, “I would like to congratulate Manny on his victory Saturday night even though I think it put most of the fans watching to sleep.”
Mosley said that the upcoming Mayweather vs. Mosley fight will surely be a showdown unlike the one-sided fight of Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey last Saturday. Mosley, who will face Mayweather at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 1, even declared that he will score a knockout against his opponent.
Shane Mosley is currently the World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight super champion, while Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has won six world boxing championships in five different boxing weight classes and still undefeated in his entire professional boxing career.

After a little difficulty in beating the Ghanaian boxer Joshua Clottey, the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world said he’ll have an even easier time against Floyd Mayweather Jr. “His (Mayweather) style is not as difficult as Clottey’s. It’s easy to study,” said Pacquiao.
Manny Pacquiao just recently won over Joshua Clottey by unanimous decision in the long 12 rounds of boxing retaining his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight belt.
“Kaya eh (I can take it),” said Pacquiao after disembarking from the chartered Boeing 737-800 that took him, his wife Jinkee, his family, team members and friends – more than 150 of them – from Dallas to Los Angeles.
He said he tried to break Clottey’s defense and go for a knockout. But the challenger was so stubborn he let Pacquiao hit him on the body instead.
“Ayaw sumuntok eh, kaya nagpapasuntok na din ako, para bumukas (He wouldn’t throw punches so I let him hit me so he’d open up),” Pacquiao said.
The pound-for-pound king said it could be the same thing all over again if and when he gets a chance to face Mayweather, also known for his defense, and his tendency to settle for a decision than risk going for a knockout.
“But Mayweather must do his business first,” said Pacquiao referring to the upcoming Mayweather vs. Mosley fight on May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

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.
