Mosley / Mayweather New York Press Conference
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Mosley / Mayweather Done Deal Both Signed
Saturday May 1st, at the MGM in Las Vegas!
It's done, complete with drug testing, signatures and all. The full contract details have not been disclosed but both parties have agreed to Olympic style drug testing and Mayweather guaranteed a mandatory rematch. The six-time world champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather is scheduled to meet five-time world champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley Saturday, May 1st at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with the mega-fight to be televised live on HBO Pay-Per-View. “Sugar” Shane Mosley, 46-5, 39Ko’s a true professional in aspects of the sport at 38 years old was scheduled to meet WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto in a unification bout January 30th that was cancelled due the huge family loss suffered by Berto due to the earthquake in Haiti.
“Sugar” Shane has fought all comers, ducking no one compiling a very impressive resume scoring wins over the likes of David Estrada, Wilfredo Rivera, “Ferocious” Fernando Vargas, Luis Collazo, “El Matador” Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio “The Tornado” Margarito and “The Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya twice.
The “Sugarman’s only losses are back to back losses to Vernon Forrest, Ronald “Winky” Wright twice at 154lbs and Miguel Cotto.
Some see the 12-round WBA Super World welterweight title fight as the second best fight since the failing of Mayweather / Manny Pacquiao but most boxing aficionados see it as the mega fight we were robbed of for many years.
The long awaited "Mayweather /Mosley showdown is a sure fire mega fight that should have happened many years ago. Both fighters have made statements to the affect that the other has ducked them and now with Mayweather / Pacquiao falling through the cracks and a public call out of Mayweather by Mosley following Mayweather’s one sided beating of Juan Manuel Marquez this past September “Money” Mayweather, 40-0, 25Ko’s a bronze medalist at the 1996 Olympics and undefeated as a pro who holds wins over world champions Diego “Chico” Corrales, “El Terrible” Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo “Thunder” Gatti, Zab “Super”Judah, Ricky “Hitman” Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez and “The Golden Boy” himself Oscar De La Hoya and Mosley a sure Hall of Famer is a done deal.
