Mayweather Mosley presser (video)

Wouldn't that be something...

Floyd certainly talks up a good fight saying he will fight toe to toe, but he won't. Shane looked dumb and had to have his managers tell him what to say. Floyd probably thinks he will outbox and out smart Shane with his speed and if the press conference is anything to go by he probably will.

Mayweather did make Mosley look like a right mug, but I think it's clearly staged or at least overdone. I don't think the thing in the ring after the JMM fight was, but the fact is I don't think they hate each other.

In the shouting after the JMM fight & in an interview with Shane I read, they both acknowledge playing basketball together & Mosley said in the interview (in a Boxing Monthly issue from last year) something like they play together every other week. He said this to explain how he knows he's so much bigger, but it got me thinking, who would really socialize with somebody they couldn't stand every other week?

Anyway, I thought that whole thing was quality, it helps sell the fight & I've seen the video on people's facebook who have no interest in boxing. I thought it was all good, they were careful to not do anything that might get them fined & I think they're just both determined to prove they're the best.

I think anyone who thinks that Mosley will be more up for it is mistaken. Both these guys want to win because it's a legacy & era defining fight, not to mention the wads of cash on the table should they win. It won't be a war, but I think it will be a great fight for boxing fans.
