    On January 24th of 2009 ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley rejuvenated his hall of fame career with a brutal thrashing of then WBA Welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. The victory was dominant and destructive and despite taking place over a year ago that performance is what many of Mosley’s supporters are pointing to when backing up their beliefs that the Pomona fighter will emerge victorious against Floyd Mayweather on May 1st.
    While Mosley did show that he has a lot left in his tank, one man who isn’t fully taking the bait is Las Vegas based trainer Jeff Mayweather, who still heavily favors his nephew heading into their showdown at the MGM Grand. Mayweather’s beliefs don’t stem as from his opinion of Mosley as a fighter nearly as much as they do from his first hand analysis of Floyd. Just last week Uncle Jeff was able to catch Floyd in training and came away beyond impressed.
    “I had a chance to see him recently,” Jeff says looking back to last Saturday. “He looks great already. He looks phenomenal. Believe me it aint going to be nothing like nobody thinks. All of this talk about Shane beating Margarito, who cares? Margarito is a walking punching bag and Mayweather is almost impossible to hit. You are looking at two totally different situations.”
    Elaborating further, Jeff points out that Floyd wasn’t working on anything specifically for the May 1st clash as far as technique is concerned and was instead simply going through his daily motions. Jeff notes that while Floyd still has a long road ahead he already appears to be on point.
    “Basically he was just being himself and working out but he was looking very, very sharp and his instinct was there. He looked like he was ready to fight now. He still has a whole lot of work ahead of him but just what I watched it’s kind of like one of those situations where even though he is my nephew I am still amazed when I watch him.”
    Amazement is the type of reaction that is rarely seen from Jeff, as he has been know to be honest and harsh when assessing all things concerning the sport. Still, when looking at the talent of his nephew Jeff believes he is simply looking at a special kind of athlete.
    “I’ve seen all of these things before, even when he was a kid,” Jeff notes. “But now when I sit back and actually take a look and take myself out of the mode of being his relative, I’m sitting back and watching art. Basically it’s kind of like watching a Bruce Lee or tenth degree Black Belt or somebody who really knows their craft. Now I put myself in the mode of a fan instead of him being my nephew and I’ve had a chance to see what other people have seen.”
    Finishing up, Jeff points out that Floyd’s Uncle Roger is in camp with him and seems to also be focusing on the task at hand despite the well documented legal issues surrounding him. All Team Mayweather can do is take things at a pace as May 1st creeps closer and closer.
    “Roger is training him. They have to be doing well because they are one of the top teams in boxing. I think he is just taking it day by day. The fight will take place even before any court thing anyways. I think he is safe in that aspect but I’m sure it’s in the back of his mind. He has to deal with it.”

    Since Jeff is hard on Floyd and doesn't always agree with him. He isn't a mouthpiece like Roger or Floyd Sr. As a Floyd fan, this is very comforting to see.

    This. :good

    Floyd is in shape even when he's not having a fight coming up, he's probably sparring even when he's not scheduled to fight.

    Shane Mosley is also in superb shape right now. This will make for one hell of a fight.

    Floyd will beat Shane fairly easily on points.

    Even Floyd`s harshest critics wont deny that he is one of the most dedicated boxers in history.... he truly leaves nothing to chance. Thats why, love him, hate him or plain dont give a **** about him, he is one of the surest things in sport to bet on.
    Nothing is gauranteed but you give yourself a real good shout to make big bucks.

    Floyd's work ethic is second to none. You can train just as hard as him, but you're not going to be able to train harder.

    It will be a easy hit and run for Floyd. Mosley should retire after this fight.
