Roger Mayweather, the uncle and trainer for boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr., correctly pointed out that unless Manny Pacquiao can get by his next fight against 39-year-old Shane Mosley on May 7th, there won’t be a future fight between Pacquiao and his nephew Floyd Jr. In an interview with ontheropesboxingradio program, Roger said “If Shane Mosley beats Pacquiao, then we aint even tot to worry about that”,
Pacquiao would then effectively have been exposed and eliminated by Mosley, and the fight that we would then be seeing is a rematch between Mosley and Mayweather with, of course, the full random blood testing being done leading up to the fight. Mosley had no problems with taking the blood testing last year when he fought Mayweather, and it’s doubtful that anything would change in a rematch.
Roger believes that Mosley will beat Pacquiao, having this belief because Roger feels that part of what makes Pacquiao so good is that he fights guys at catch weights, which he feels helps Pacquiao get an advantage. The Mosley-Pacquiao fight won’t be held at a catch weight, so anything can happen in this fight. We may see a major upset if Mosley isn’t weakened and is able to come into the fight at full strength.
If either guy loses there is no point in the fight. It gets watered down. Roger is stating the obvious. Freddie Roach said the same thing the other week.
I hate to point out the obvious, but no matter what happens Floyd will find an excuse and hide like he always does.
So, Floyd was criticized for fighting Judah coming off a loss. And floyd would be criticized for NOT fighting Pacquiao coming off a loss.
OK, Got it.
Whilst I fully expect mayweather to embarrass manny by pretty much nulling mannys offence if they don't fight floyd will always carry the flack as the one who ducked and dodged manny at all costs
There really is no excuse for them not fighting at all even if mosley does KO pacman

Funny how he omitted saying what they will do if Pacquiao beats Mosley.
That is right, full random testing up to fight... 18 days before the fight.
yeah, right.
And when pacquiao wins against mosley, floyd will just continue his vacation or will continue beating a women and security guards to make sure that he will have a legit excuse on why the fight will not happen. :lol1:
