It's On!: Sources Say Floyd Mayweather Jr. To Face Shane Mosley on May 1

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2010/01/connecting-the-dots-to-mayweathermosley.html

Here's another update on Mosley/May. Both Schaefer and Ellerbe seem to be intentionally vague on this. As I mentioned earlier, look for this to be "signed" tomorrow in time for the Pac/Clottey presser.

 

Mayweather fights Mosley and wins, Mosley was shot to hell.

Mayweather fights Cotto and wins, Cotto was shot to hell.

Mayweather fights Margarito and wins, Margarito was never that good he was just a cheater(which I believe).

Mayweather fights Berto and wins, Berto was drained from his fight with Mosley.

Mayweather fights Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler at the same time in a ring of fire above a shark tank and wins, Both were exhausted from the Super Six.

It doesn't matter to most Mayweather Haters/*******s, Floyd could move up and win a major belt in every division from Middleweight to Heavyweight and people would still have problems with him. *******s need to can it if this story cracks out.

 

That's why it's idiotic that people put so much effort in trying to shut haters up. Outside of using haters as a motivational tool, it doesn't make sense for fighters to care about them and it shouldn't bother fans, either. Every good fighter's got someone who hates them for one reason or another.

 

Also, should Pacquiao be proven guilty, I want (wish for) a refund of all the money I've lost on fights when I bet against him. If only there were justice!

 

I'll readily say I believe Mosley should beat Berto. But Berto is also undefeated, is certainly an elite level fighter, and despite his not looking impressive, he has fought very good competition.

He also has been more active, whereas Mosley hasnt fought in a year basically.

He is a live underdog. To assume "Molsey decapitates him, next opponent" is very stupid. This is how fighters lose fights, looking past guys like this.


This is Berto's huge break. He wins this, he sets himself up for superstardom, P4P ranking, and a shot at Floyd or Pacman, as well as being the holder of 2 belts.

You think the kid isnt motivated to win?

A rational fan should know this isnt a walkover.

 

Looking past Berto is just plan stupid. Mosley can and has looked ugly in fights. Look at the Mayorga fight. lets not look pass Berto.:deal

 

I don't think this fight is gonna happen. Mosley ain't getting by Berto.

 

Isn't The Bleacher Report sort of like a fan website?

 

It is idiotic for Floyd to sign anything but "the winner of berto/mosley" if he signs to fight Mosley and Mosley loses, then the fight loses a ton of steam. Think of how hard Berto would be fighting knowing he would fight Mosley and then potentially Mayweather afterwards.

 

Yes.

 

hope this is all true ...if not and it turns out to be nate or malignaggi then its like getting punched in the balls...getting up then getting kicked back in the balls

 

:good


Precisely

 

It's on! Sources say that the bearded woman fights the two-headed elephant man on PPV, march 2010!

 

So then isn't it possible that I could just sign up there and come up with a "source" who says it's going to be Floyd vs Johnny Tapia at a 150 lb catchweight?

I'm sure someone covered this before me but couldn't this all just be some kid's great imagination?

 

Berto is a good fighter, if Mosley doesn't dominate him then thats not to say Mosley was necessarily bad but Berto did well.
