If Mayweather Agrees to Fight Mosely Will He Insist on Olympic Testing?

Pac will not look good if May asked for an Olympic style of drug testing against Mosley but May will need to ask all his future opponents to do an Olympic style of drug testing.

 

He should fight mosley and he should ask for olympic testing too. Mosley will agree and we get a fight that nearly everyone wants to see

 

Yep, if he doesn't we have our answer, no question.

 

First off, Golden Boy (i.e. De La Hoya) have as much a steak in the whole bloodtesting suit as Mayweather does. Whether or not Mayweather asks for it, of course the olympic style testing will happen. The question is what sort of under-the-table deals will take effect should someone fail (and this just brings to mind the so-called email that Teddy saw in regards to Pacquiao failing). Clearly, or should I say hopefully, Shane is off the juice after so many years, but who can tell. Fact is, however, Mayweather will go into this fight for the money - - as he should - - he'll probably demand a 60 40 split, end up getting 50 50, but get to pick the glove type, ring size, and weight; this is not to mention that he'll try whatever tricks he and his uncle have learned from the past to gain the advantage. This is, has been, and always will be part of the sport of boxing.

Still, a fight is a fight, Mosley is Mosley, Mayweather is Mayweather, and should this happen (I hope to God it does), we'll all be in for a treat, a treat much tastier than a Mayweather Pacquiao bout, which, to be honest, had the elements for disaster, but instead a fight where anything could happen, where one fighter is young, but not too young, really, in all truth, slightly past his prime, has not fought anyone in his class for almost three years, and then his opponent, Mosley, who is old, who may be past his prime, or may have a second wind by the magic hands of Naseem Richardson, a fighter who has the chance to knock out the apparently indomitable, or to, at least, put him in a very precarious situation. I only hope that this actually comes to be.

 

If Shane does the testing and looks old again........ If Shane doesn't do the testing........ can of worms that needed to be opened though.

 

They would have to based on the debacle with PAC. Mosley is a known "user" of designer steroids and Mayweather's flapping their gums about PEDS; no brainer. Its a MUST.

 

Yes and Mosley has already said he will take them.

 

What a load of rubbish..... Floyd wont fight shane until he's 60 years old. The fact that he DUCKED Pac for a $40 million payday is reason enough he wont fight Mosley who is more of a threat to his worthless 0 and get paid half of what he'll earn against Pac.....and im bracing myself for Rooney Nallege and Jeff M's rebuttal lol

 

Steroids" :?

 

The only tasty treat might be the steak that you speak of (I think you meant "at stake"). Mark my words: Mayweather vs. Mosley is a bad style match-up. Neither guy is particularly good at initiating the action, which means your going to have two guys waiting for the other one to throw a punch. The most action you're going to get from these two already happened at the PBF v JMM post-fight interview. I'm not trying to burst your bubble here, but just as a precaution, don't convince yourself that this fight will be legendary before it happens. It's probably going to suck.

 

If either guy is positive prior to the fight it will be called of. License will be suspended. The only way to protect a fighter in this instance is to have a payment penalty to the clean guy.

Make no mistake about it. If the testing is done under the USADA they will report this to the NVASC or whatever state athletic board the fight will takes place in. Not sure about the rules in every state but in Nevada they will suspend your license.

 

IMO PBF will be asking everyone he fights for this. PBF has his own rules. The question I have is.... If Mosely says "Yes" will PBF come up with something else no other boxer has been asked to do

 

If Pac had agreed to the blood testing, then PBF would have requested a body cavity search in the locker room before the fight. :hey

Hmm, while I may initially agree, I cannot agree that these fighters will circle around each other for 12 rounds. Mosley, by character, is a brawler -- he may look like a counterpuncher, and against the right opponent, he does try to be one; but he is not a counter puncher, not really even a boxer: he has no jab and his footwork is generally stiff (at least this is my view of things). I do agree that this will be a technical fight, but the draw is that Mosley does pose a beatable threat in his calculated agression. Unlike Pacquiao, who seems to have an almost predetermined moment by moment, punch by punch, strategy of how he fights a fight, Mosley mixes it up. And Mosley has his looping right. Of course, Pacquiao has his straight left. Both fights are, naturally, enticing. There are also, naturally, fears for either. And these fears stem primarily from Mayweather's ability to slip and frustrate fighters instead of actually fighting them. Nevertheless, I see there being quite a strain on both Mosley and Mayweather once in the ring together. They'll paw at each other, perhaps, for 10 or 20 seconds, but then Mosley will have enough. He's 41 years old. He knows how to take a punch. He's not technical enough to slip everything. Note, Cotto pulled out a win by mostly Jabbing Mosley. Mayweather has a quick jab. And Mayweather has his snapping right.

What, I suppose I should revise, attracts me most to this fight rather than Pacquiao, is that I feel it'll be close down the stretch. With Pacquiao, I think everyone would know who was going to win once the fight had begun. Pacquiao would either overwhelm Mayweather, or Mayweather would be too sneaky, too unexpected, and catch Pacquiao early enough to make way for an easy UD or a late KO (like Ricky Hatton). I do not think that Pacquiao knows how to adapt to fighters. He didn't against Marquez, and this is why he went to a draw and a one point win. And for his recent wins, he crushed Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto throughout -- he had no need to adapt. When he fought Morrales and Barrera, it was the same thing. He lost to Morrales because he could not adapt. Then, he beat Morrales because he crushed him with overwhelming punches and speed.

Now, Mosley does adapt. Mosley adapted to beat De La Hoya twice, against Vargas once (the second time was silly), Forrest the second time (the first time he came in too rough), against Winky both times (though Winky proved too big), and even against Cotto (and this made the fight close). The only two name fighters who I think Mosley crushed the first time are Margarito and Molina. Notice, though, now that I think about it, that even against a guy like Winky, the fight was entertaining. Mosley brought the action as he will bring the action against Mayweather. The fight will be very tense, and thus exciting. Really, to not like such a matchup is to not, for the most part, like boxing (but I'm not saying that at all as an attack). Of course, I will have steak as per your suggestion (and yes, I did mean stake; but I suppose I sometimes make mistakes), on the night of the fight to make up for any possible disappointments.
