Nah...I can put up with it for now, but no doubt it is going to be everywhere leading up to the bout. Should be a good 24/7 though.

On May 1, at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, unbeaten [url]

[/url] "is going to be the hardest fight that he has ever had in his life."

"Everybody else Floyd has been 135 pounds or at around 140. He's not fought any real 147 pounders, other than Oscar de la Hoya, who gave him a lot of trouble," said [url]
This content is protected
[/url], from his training camp in the mountains of Big Bear Lake, Calif., on Tuesday.

"Right now, my weight is great. I'm probably weighing around 152-ish when I leave the gym. I look at Floyd as a natural welterweight -- a real 147-pounder. In fact, [url]
This content is protected
[/url] is the biggest guy that he's fought that was a big welterweight, and Oscar did well against him," said Mosley, who will face Mayweather live on HBO pay per view.

"I'm pretty sure that Floyd will feel more power in this fight that he will have ever had to feel," said Mosley. "And if I can get that knockout, if I get that one shot, and if I can get him hurt, then I'm going to be all over him."

That's how confident the 38-year-old Mosley (46-5, 39 knockouts) was feeling about defending his WBA welterweight (147 pounds) title against the 33-year-old, unbeaten Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) after having showered up following a morning workout just priot to shaking out with trainer, [url]

[/url].

"I was 38-0 with 35 knockouts when I stepped into the ring and lost for the very first time, wo when you say 40-0, that doesn't mean a thing to me," said Mosley, referring to a January, 2006, unanimous decision to the late [url]

[/url].

"All that it means is that I'll be the one giving him his first loss," said Mosley. "No disrespect, but I really don't think he's been in there with a fighter like me. I believe that when I beat Floyd, I will send him into retirement. May 1 will be Mayweather's first loss."

Mosley has owned a home in Big Bear since 2000, and has trained there since 1996.

"I've been training in Big Bear, now, for the last 10 years, so this would be my spot. I've been sparring, I've been working with Brother Naazim on different things, strategies and stuff on how to approach the fight," said Mosley.

"I've been doing nine to 12 rounds. Usually, I can do 12 at the beginning of camp, because, basically, I'm always pretty much in shape. Today, I did a little bit of running, and I kind of shook out a little bit," said Mosley. "I had a pretty good session with Brother Naazim today for, like, hitting mits and stuff like that. I probably won't spar today. I don't spar everyday."

But when Mosley has sparred, lately, it has been with a versatile group such as 24-year-old, junior welterweight (140 pounds) [url]
This content is protected
[/url] (7-0, three KOs), of Philadelphia.

Another goer has been 29-year-old Enrique Ornelas (29-6, 19 KOs), a durable fighter who has gone at middleweight (160 pounds), supermiddleweight (168 poounds), and, even at light heavyweight (175 pounds), and, whom Mosley calls, "a big body to punch on."

"We've got a couple of guys coming in there for speed. We're doing a couple of things, and we're getting him a few different looks. Dargan imitates Mayweather really well, but nobody actually fights like Mayweather. If they did, they'd be in their own camps getting ready to defend their belts," said Richardson, who also trains legendary middleweight and light heavyweight king, [url]
This content is protected
[/url].

"We're trying to get Shane in the best shape that we can, and if we get the best Shane Mosley, that should be enough to carry out our best plan," said Richardson. "Right now, I feel like Shane's really adopting what we're trying to get into, and he's so confident that I think we'll be in good shape."

Mosley believes that he is ready for anything that Mayweather has to offer.

"I expect him to expect him to fight in the center for a little while and to see what he can do with that, and I expect him to fight off of the ropes a little bit. I expect him to do whatever he can to try to disrupt and upset my rhythm," said Mosley.

"For a while, I think that we're both going to be playing the same game, but if I have an advantage of outboxing him, then I'll outbox him," said Mosley. "If I have an advantage of being stronger than him, then I'll use that. Whatever is at my advantage, I'll do."

The more I think about this fight the more I think Mayweather will win easily enough. Mosley is not a big puncher, and much of the thought about this fight is his win over Margarito, totally different from Mayweather. Before that Mosley lost to Cotto. I am just saying. Mayweather picked this fight for a reason. He knows he can win.

Unless Mosley is completly shot, he should win this comfortably. De La Hoya who lost to Shane twice and was at the end of his career almost beat Mayweather.

Jin should shut her pretty mouth because if it wasn't for Shane she would be sowing football shirts in a South Korean sweat shop along with 1000 other Koreans stuffed in a basement thats big enough for only 100 people with no windows and being hot as fu*k with no air working 23 and a half hours a day!!

Then Shane can say "She's just messing around in the Korean sweat shop"

Swing and a miss by Jacory.........atsch

On a serious note.

Didn't Shane get outboxed by Cotto 2 fights ago. The same Cotto that was never the same fighter after Marg.

He may win a couple of the early rounds due to Mayweather being a slow starter but no way he wins this without one of those wide loaded up punches he throws with his eyes closed.
