    Except for Floyd. That's a real problem.

    I kinda a great people are saying that was a weird interview. To me Shane just looked like he wanted to get the talking over with and fight. Nothing wrong with that. Him fumbling over the sparing partners things was a bit worrying though. But with Shane mosley you literally can't gauge based on his demeanor prior to a fight how he's going to be come fight time. I mean his greatest performance was when he was right in the middle of the Jin break-up, firing his Father, and the Balco scandle. The guy is just a fighter and no interview should be used to gauge his mentality going into a fight. The one thing that stuck out to me in the press conference yesterday was when Mosley said something to the affect that Saturday was going to be the best fight of this era and possibly the best fight of all time. He didn't say that with any gusto he just flatly stated it. That's a confident statement and it wasn't delivered in a way that would make you think that he's trying to talk himself up. I don't see a fighter that has been getting beaten up in camp recently saying something like that.

    I love how this fight is playing out. These two guys are too good to be phased by bull**** and they don't need to pump themselves up with bravato. Right now its like the calm before the storm. Can't Wait:happy

    Yeah if you remember in the lead up to the Marquez fight one of Floyd's sparing partners cracked his ribs and he had to ware a pad over the rib for the rest of the lead up to the fight. I would assume that Floyd asked his sparing partners then to stop hitting his ribs. And who knows maybe he did in the lead up to this fight too.

    How many of you guys have been watching 24/7 and following the interactions between the camps? It was obvious Shane totally blew off the **** talking Mayweather's dad was doing. With regards to the body comment, shane was referring to Mayweather getting injured by a body blow while sparring for the marquez fight. He then asked his sparring partners not to hit him to the body. This is what boggles my mind, how could anyone take mayweathers clown father and uncle seriously? Imho shane looks like he is ready to get down to business. Watch for the hook floyd....

    True PBF's uncle and father are obvious crackheads, however for some reason they are amazing trainers. Between the defense his dad taught him and the hand speed roger taught him he's unbeatable.:rasta

    He might be fed-up with the PR stuff indeed! On a espn radio interview he went as far as asking: is he (mayweather) gay or something? He should keep promoting the fight. Mosley is a great guy but he's not very charismatic and it shows.

    Whoa...I didn't scroll down and read the other comments yet, but surely I'm not the only one who think those "early stages of pugilistic dementia" whisperings regarding Shane Mosley seem to have just a smidgen of credibility in that video...?

    True dat! Maybe he got old overnight. After all, he hasn't fought in 16 months.

    He has been sporting a "Rudolph" on two separate occasions I can recall.

    Mosley is a stoic warrior like Kessler. He's not charismatic. It's a sign of self control and of toughness.

    Exactly! Man I don't care what anyone thinks of their personalities... The Mayweather's KNOW boxing. FMJ was saying that from the beginning about taking damage and how the fact that SSM can't beat him because of it.

    Man have you guys seen any recent Sweet Pea vids? Sweet Pea! Defensive extraordinaire! Breaks your heart!
