Floyd Mayweather Jr. is planning to dominate WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley on May 1 in Las Vegas. Mayweather fired off some verbal jabs in response to Mosley predicting a win by knockout. Mayweather wants to make an example of Mosley by dominating the action.
"40 have tried and 40 have failed. Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez. They all failed. Mosley is no different. Mosley is just an HBO fighter. He's an HBO fighter. I'm a pay-per-view fighter. I'm giving Shane Mosley the biggest payday of his entire career. After I get done with Shane Mosley, he's going right back to HBO. I beat De La Hoya and I started my own company. Mosley beat Oscar De La Hoya twice and now he works for him as an employee," Mayweather said.
He didn't stop there. Mayweather unleashed some more about Mosley's past with the BALCO scandal. Both fighters have agreed to take part in random drug testing during the training period.
"Mosley always talks about Antonio Margarito cheating but he [Mosley] was using steroids. Mosley was using steroids. How can you talk about someone else cheating when you were using steroids? - Mayweather said.
Mayweather feels the public is overhyping Mosley's big win over Antonio Margarito.
"People talk about his win over Margarito but they forget about the fight right before that with Mayorga. That was an even fight until the final round. Margarito stands there and gets hit. They bring up Margarito but they forget he struggled with Mayorga. They forget he was outboxed by Miguel Cotto," Mayweather said.
