From a media teleconference on wednesday:
On Shane Mosley-
“If Shane Mosley is a sparring partner, then that’s what he is,” said Mayweather. “That’s all Shane Mosley’s ever been, was a sparring partner. I can’t really say nothing bad about Shane because he’s not his own boss. If I’m gonna say anything or talk about Shane, I’m gonna talk to his wife or I’m gonna talk to Oscar because they’re his bosses. So all I can say is Shane ain’t nothin’ but a sparring partner.”
On Oscar De La Hoya -
“There are two things we know about Oscar – we know he gets tired and we know that he will lay down,” said Mayweather, referring to De La Hoya’s 2004 knockout loss to Bernard Hopkins. “Oscar De La Hoya is a fake-ass fighter and he says stuff like I don’t belong to stay in the sport of boxing and I don’t deserve certain things, and we all know that Oscar De La Hoya’s greedy, he’s ungrateful, and he’s a brat. HBO will tell you that. Richard Schaefer says stuff like Oscar De La Hoya is the most decorated champion and the most famous champion. No he’s not. The most famous fighter in boxing ever is either Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson. And they say he’s the highest grossing. No, that would be Mike Tyson. And the best fighter would be Floyd Mayweather. You don’t even mention that guy Oscar’s name in the same sentence as us three.”
On Golden Boy Promotions-
“I don’t ever want to do business with Golden Boy Promotions again,” he said. “I can’t say what the future holds, but you can see how the company is. It’s like when Bernard Hopkins’ nephew (Demetrius) fought. He was Golden Boy Promotions, he fought Steve Forbes, he got his ass kicked, and look how they gave him the fight. So going into this fight, you’ve got to watch them because they’re slick – they’ve got tricks up their sleeves and they know what I’m talking about. They get mad about me putting their company on blast but to be honest, they’re no different from Don King or Bob Arum. Oscar talks bad about Bob Arum, but then he goes and do the same thing Bob Arum do.”
loool DLH is so getting spanked. Then Mosley...Then Cotto.
There's only one man that can stop PBF and his name is Ricky The UNFITman Fatton.
Out of all the people you choose "Clinchman Hatton" I would pick Mosley to beat PBF, by a slim ass margin!
he gave props to tyson. thats all good.
Give him a chance, he will start mouthing off about Tyson too. Everytime Mayweather opens his mouth toxic waste pours out. Hasn't yet occurred to him that the fans don't like and might not pay it for either.
GBP is just new so it need to look like it making good fights and taking care of there fighter or it wont look good on them.
but after years when Arum and DK loss abit of power to Oscar you will see the real GBP
eh.
I dont care.
nothing is worse than screwing a fighter deserving of victory.
PBF is brave dissing DLH because he is fighting DLH next and we know DLH makes his opponents who talk garbage pay for it in the ring normally. But PBF aint actually brave for belittling Sugar Mosely as PBF is supposed to be retiring after DLH.
Mosely will have to deal with PBF in England as will Hatton!

For what it's worth; this doesn't always seem like dissing for the sake of taunting for the guys who I know that like to do this.. It's a certain psychology. He totally deconstructs his opposition from the ground down, on every level.. It seems to work nicely for Floyd.
Most of it is bull****, but who cares? Its pretty much part of the show as far as Im concerned.
Usually his trash talk is pretty unoriginal and lackluster, but this was actually pretty good I thought.
He actually said a lot of what has been on peoples' minds about GBP too.

True.
It sucks, I was such a big fan of GBP and to realize they're crooks like Arum and DK is just depressing.

the truth hurts sometimes...
i know but most people hate floyd really bad that they forget that he is p4p boxer and comes in with so wins.
in every fight people are really wait Floyd O to go so they could feel comfortable and attack him verbally and say i told you he was exposed thread spread around.
even Larry Merchant hates him but these condition only makes Floyd stronger
Who has been claiming Oscar to be the best fighter in the world?
And I do hope that when Maywhether considered himself to have that accolade, that he wasnt talking about 'all time'.
