    According to Maxboxing.com a verbal agreement has been reached between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Shane Mosley to face each other in May and an official announcement could be made as early as Friday.

    Mayweather Jr was scheduled to face Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on March 13 to decide the pound for pound No.1 but the fight was scrapped when the two camps could not agree on how to conduct pre fight drug testing.

    Mayweather Jr wanted Pacquiao to agree to random Olympic style drug testing which is not a requirement of the Nevada State Athletic commission, who oversee sporting events where the fight was to be held.

    According to Maxboxing’s Gabriel Montoya Mayweather has no such problem with such testing. Speaking with Mosley via his website chat this past weekend, Montoya asked Mosley if he would submit to random blood tests to make a fight with Mayweather or any fighter.

    “Of course I would submit to random blood testing anytime,” replied Mosley. “But right now, I’m not worried about Mayweather or Pacquiao. I’m focused on [Andre] Berto.”

    Earlier this week, Andre Berto, a Haitian-American welterweight title holder, pulled out of his January 30 showdown with Mosley following earthquake tragedy in his homeland.

    Yeah. Im pretty sure Mosley won't tuck tail and run away from the negotiations like Pacquiao did. Mosley's already ducked him Before. Hopefully he won't do it again.

    While I think the fight will happen, this source doesn't seem credible at all considering the fact it quotes Mosley as saying he is concerned with fighting Berto. Obviously that fight has been dead for the week already, and it's already been said Mosley isn't against random testing....

    Why is he focused on Berto still? Berto pulled out. Does this mean Mosley / Berto gets rescheduled shortly allowing Floyd off the hook to fight someone else now, but save his reputation in the meantime because, supposedly we get Mosley vs Mayweather down the line?
