Mayweather vs. Mosley is On
Finally, the negotiation between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Shane “Sugar” Mosley comes into a positive conclusion. Both camps had agreed into terms, and the Mayweather vs. Mosley fight is set on May 1, 2010 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mayweather vs. Mosley come into being because of the failed negotiation regarding the drug testing issue on the supposed Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight. Manny Pacquiao had moved on and pick Joshua Clottey.
“Sugar‚Äù Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have reportedly agreed to terms to fight for the World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight title, according to a report by ESPN.com.
“Shane has signed. I sat with him [Friday] and we went through every provision of the contract and he signed,” Mosley’s attorney Judd Burstein told ESPN.com. “He is excited to move forward with the bout.”
Mosley reportedly agreed to undergo random blood and urine testing, as has Mayweather.
The Mosley-Mayweather fight came into fore after talks for a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight collapsed due to Floyd’s drug test demands.
Mosley was supposed to face Haiti’s Andre Berto in a title-unification match, but Berto was forced to pull out after some of his family members were killed in the earthquake in Haiti.
Meanwhile, the Pacquiao vs. Clottey match is set to roll on March 13.
Both Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley were bred to be fighters like a farmer’s prized horse. Both guys grew up with boxing gloves hanging from their crib ceilings. The debating can go on and on forever. The bottom line is neither guy is going to give you an inch – both fighters are relaxed in the ring, comfortable and fluid in such a way that it’s easy to believe boxing pumps through their veins in absence of blood. Mayweather vs Mosley im really looking forward to. Mayweather looked untouchable against the smaller Marquez and Mosley was awesome against Margarito. That fight was 18 months ago and previous to that Mosley looked ordinary against a washed up Mayorga. So is Shane still in top nick? I see Mosley starting fast using his jab to take the early rounds. Floyd usually starts slowly but will take control around round 5. The usual dropping of the shoulder and lightning counter punching will take Floyd home to a points victory and hopefully setting up the fight with Manny.
The Mayweather vs Mosley fight is expected to get over 3 million PPV sales and more than the Pacquiao vs Clottey fight. Mayweather the more defensive fighter is the People’s Choice but let’s not take for granted the skills of Mosley.
Mosley has had big fights against dela Hoya, Margarito, Vargas and a lot more heavy punchers. I go for Mosley on May 1, 2010 on a UD win.
Who R U Picking? This Mayweather vs Mosley fight will surely hit in PPV since they are both Americans and it is not difficult to sell them. Watch it if this PPV sales can help them hype the fight for the crowd.
Who R U Picking? The boxing headling for the May 1 clash of Welterweight champions is really intriguing the pundits and boxing enthusiats and even a simple fan for this clash to come.
The clash that will give another blow by blow mega BIG fight latter on. Let’s get it on!
Mayweather will win if he fights the way he does he will go for the points and runs out. But if he confronts mosley and fights him 2 for 2 it is going to be Mosley victory.
