Floyd Mayweather Jr. is sticking true to his infamous statement - "all belts do is collect dust." BoxingScene.com reported on Tuesday that Mayweather's bout with WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley, on May 1 in Las Vegas, will be a non-title fight. Mosley wanted to defend his title. Mayweather had no interest in the title. When asked as to why, Mayweather didn't mention the sanctioning fee.

"I did not want to fight for the WBA title. At this point, it's all about enhancing my legacy," Mayweather said.

"I've done a lot of things in this sport, things that a lot of fighters weren't able to do in the sport and didn't do in the sport. This fight with Shane Mosley will enhance my legacy."

Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser and CEO of Mayweather Promotions, issued similar comments.

"At this level it's not about belts. It's about building his legacy, and money," Ellerbe said. "Floyd is already the best fighter in the world. Why does he need to fight for a belt to prove that?"
