According to trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., there are rumors floating around that WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley is getting beat up in training camp by his sparring partners. Mosley defends his title against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather Sr. doesn't give Mosley a shot at beating his son. He said Mosley has trouble with black fighters and points his record, where four defeats have come at the hands of black fighters; Vernon Forrest twice and Winky Wright twice.

"I hear he is getting his ass whooped in camp. I don't know if it's true, but I hear he getting his ass whooped. Shane ain't never beat a black fighter since he lost. He's only been fighting Mexican fighters since Forrest and Winky beat him and hell, Oscar beat him the second time," Mayweather Sr. told fighthype.com.

Floyd Sr. likes what he sees from his own son in training camp. He says Mayweather Jr. is putting his punches together against sparring partners.

"I like what I see in little Floyd right now. The thing I like is he's really letting his hands go," Mayweather Sr. said.
