Great topics. You forgot to add he was playing ball too the next day. Also add that they are using this camp to prepare for Floyd and not Clottey. Hence Forbes.

Since Floyd Mayweather's... eh, hem "performance" in the build up for the late Arturo Gatti in 2005, the run up to his fights have actually become more interesting than the in-ring drama. We've heard him downgrade opponents, rip/love his pop and accuse De La Hoya of being an undercover heel all courtesy of the new HBO vehicle 24/7. We have also been introduced to an array of "professional homies" and the erudite prose of his trainer/uncle, one Mr. Roger Mayweather himself.

We had faith that Floyd's insistence on stringent Blood testing for Pacquiao was just another "phase" of the Mayweather mind attack, that at some point the wrangling would make a great 24/7 episode-and we were wrong. And to the Mayweather camp's credit they moved on to (in my opinion) an opponent just as dangerous in Mosley. For those of you who don't know, this showdown with Mosley may just be the fight of the year (a first for Money May) and the build up may surprise you in the level of genuine bad blood. Allow me to present to you 5 valid reasons the build up to the Welterweight Super Fight between Mayweather and Mosley will get nasty.

Reason #1 - The fathers have no filter...

Make no mistake about it... Floyd Sr. started the whole mess about Pacquiao; in my opinion the old man was bitter because Manny basically "messed his money up" and embarrassed him as a trainer. The old man is anything but shy and he'll take shots at Mosley that Mosley's father won't take lying down. Jack Mosley is a proud guy and takes satisfaction in his relationship (with Shane) and his parenting job, and he's snubbed his nose at the "Mayweather dynamic" on several occasions. In this "battle inside the battle" there's a persistent social theme that affects the African-American community. Middle class African-Americans with strong family structures have often looked down on their so-called ***********al counterparts. Imagine the Huxstables (The Cosby Show) debating the Evans family (Good Times), and therein lies the conflict. The way these two fighters contrast in demeanor is directly related to their fathers and both men feel they've done it the right way. Floyd Mayweather Sr. feels he is the best trainer in the world. Jack Mosley (sly and witty) will take every opportunity to point out that Floyd Sr. simply sired one of the best fighters in the world and nothing more. Both sons will defend their respective fathers with uncommon emotion and it will get personal. Just imagine the "my daddy can whip your daddy" playground game playing out between two men who are considered lethal weapons. Floyd Sr. will tell anyone who is listening that his son is superior to Shane and papa Mosley will point out what he believes to be a fear on Floyd's part to face top competition. By the time May 1st arrives, there will be more than welterweight and pound for pound bragging rights on the line. There will also be the passion of family pride.

Reason #2 - PED's, (short for performance enhancing drugs)...

I don't have to get too deep into Shane's admitted use of PED's in 2003 and only God knows whether it was deliberate or unknowingly. In my opinion it weighed him down. Yes, he was game late in his second battle with De La Hoya but he was throwing one hard punch at a time. After having won the public relations battle against Top Rank regarding Pacquiao and the more stringent testing, Floyd will use this platform to lord over Shane- and Shane won't like it. Yeah, I know Shane jumping at the chance for random testing is a good move on his part and though opening statements from Mayweather will be respectful; think about who we are dealing with. Once the lights are on and the microphones show the red light Mayweather will renege on the spin he promised Golden Boy he would stick to during the promotional tour. It's too juicy a fastball for Floyd, plus he's not as creative as Ali or Hopkins when it comes to downgrading an opponent. BALCO is the lowest hanging fruit for a sop****ric trash talker.

De La Hoya let it be known that he'll be the first to applaud Mosley when he agrees to testing but doesn't think that Floyd won't flip his switch regarding his loss being to an enhanced version of Sugar Shane. The negotiations for this fight were smooth, as both parties needed one another, but look for Mayweather to stick a gag order (on Mosley's past use) as well as he stuck to coming in at 144lbs. for Marquez. Mosley won't take this lying down, not now, not after resurrecting himself from those allegations and a heartbreaking loss to Miguel Cotto. The fight represents more to him than Floyd because he had the pound for pound distinction ripped from him and it has eluded him for the later part of this decade. Mayweather is currently enjoying his role of PED crusader (taking shots at Pacquiao) but as the fight nears his focus will narrow on Mr. Mosley. Look for this subject matter to bring a usually good natured Mosley out of his chair and quickly over to where the "Money Man" is seated.

Reason #3 - Golden Boy is Mosley's Home...

Oscar's ability to represent Mayweather, (I mean Mayweather Promotions), interests in big fights is a marriage of commerce and nothing more. The "Golden Boy" is not an all time great in the ring but outside of it he gets my Michael Corleone award for business. It's never personal. Mosley, however, is a charter member of Oscar's fistic Rat Pack, the Sammy to Oscar's Frank and there's a deep respect dating back to when they were children. Mayweather is no fan of De La Hoya's and though he is benefiting from GBP's promotional power he will be sensitive to any form of slight no matter how petty. Add in the fact that Mayweather left GBP hanging high and dry on a possible return bout with Oscar (in 2008) and you can see how GBP will have little patience with Floyd. Mosley enjoys the comfort of being among people he works with daily, the same people he will be working with to build Shane Mosley Jr.'s pro career- it's family. Floyd will not only have to contend with Mosley and his trainer ****m Richardson at the podium but also Richard Schaefer, De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins who won't be shy about taking subtle shots at Floyd. From a promotional standpoint the run- up to this super fight is like a home game for Mosley and a sensitive guy like Mayweather will feel it. Look for Floyd to scream bloody murder if anyone from the Golden Boy camp says something he finds disrespectful. If they hit as many locations as Oscar and Floyd did in 2007 something will slip and it will bring out the worst in both combatants. Note to Golden Boy, make sure Mayweather's accommodations are just as swanky as Mosley's and by no means expect any gratitude.

Reason #4 - The trainers...

****m Richardson, in the last several years based on his work with Hopkins and Mosley, is becoming a "Belicheckian" (that's my new word) in boxing circles. Cited with rejuvenating Mosley, Richardson is a great tactician, something Mosley's father isn't. In 2009 he became a darling of the media for his "game" and the discernment that busted Antonio Margarito for illegal hand wraps prior to entering the ring for his January 2009 bout with Mosley. Matching wits with the Philly native is nothing to take lightly, unless you are a man who takes shots at Angelo Dundee. Roger Mayweather is only distinguishable as a trainer for his work with nephew Floyd and this alone leads him to believe he's the best. It is well documented that Roger can be just as disparaging toward opponents and trainers as Floyd -but on a more demeaning "gutter" level. This is a man who made light of Freddie Roach's Parkinson's, even challenged him to fisticuffs all to the blind eye of Floyd Jr. "Brotha ****m" may be different in personality but he won't take any nonsense from Roger, he'll put him in check (albeit respectfully) the minute he gets out of pocket. Roger, as indiscernible as he is, has become dependable in conference calls for saying things that rub everybody the wrong way. With his legal troubles mounting, look for his fuse to be even shorter than usual, and the repeated questioning about his nephew "finally" fighting someone is a ticking time bomb.

And Lastly!

History

Since the days when Floyd Mayweather burst on the championship radar with his dismantling of Genaro Hernandez, we have been dreaming of this fight. Floyd was a precocious young champion at junior lightweight when he started calling out the Sugar man. Mosley understandably started his career a little harder and having pulled himself up to notoriety and a lightweight title (in 1997) he had his eyes on De La Hoya. A lot of us remember those days, when Floyd used to call Mosley out and a lot of us felt he had a legitimate shot at winning. Personally I felt Floyd was the best fighter in the world as far back as 2001 but by then Shane was on a level above (in a marketing sense) and did not "need" the challenge. Floyd never forgot, and once he became the man in Boxing (in 2007) and Mosley was cast as veteran ex-champion trying to regain status, Floyd let him know about it. The two camps have exchanged shots for years and as recent as Mosley's double dip with Vargas did the potential fight become a regular post-fight question. There was the now infamous, "I have to spend time with my family/get some dental work" response by Mosley and the most recent "bum rush" of Mayweather by Shane and B-Hop after the Marquez exhibition. The history between the two easily spans a decade, from the days of buying your glossy ********* (Bert Sugar) at the bookstore to the many website choices and social networking we have today. No matter the medium this is real, a genuine rivalry and with promotional obligations to be filled-with close proximity, it will get nasty.

6. Pole dancing could be recognized as a sport and headed to the Olympics!!! WTF ??

The strip club mainstay pole dancing - known as much for its sensual moves as its rigorous athletic side - may be headed for the Olympics.

A group of pole-dance advocates is hoping for a "test" event in 2012 and a more formal pitch four years after that, in Rio de Janeiro, according to The Associated Press.

KT Coates, a prominent pole dancer in England and director of Vertical Dance, is leading the Olympic push.

"After a great deal of feedback from the pole-dance community, many of us have decided that it’s about time pole fitness is recognized as a competitive sport, and what better way for recognition than to be part of the 2012 Olympics held in London," she said in a petition she’s preparing for organizers of the London Olympics.

Coates added that the prospective sport "has the wow factor."

While her petition now has about 4,000 signatures, she is hoping to add 1,000 more.

Advocates of pole dancing say other even more unlikely sports have gotten the approval of the International Olympic Committee. Tug of war was an early Olympic medal contest, and curling is now huge at the Winter Games.

Yet, well-established sports like cricket and squash haven’t managed to get a spot for themselves at the Olympics, and baseball and softball recently got the ax. The International Olympic Community would need to recognize pole dancing as a sport, which could prove to be an uphill battle.

But pole-dance enthusiasts are hopeful about their chances to go for the gold.

"It’s just a matter of time before pole dancing gets Olympic recognition," says Ania Przeplasko of Hong Kong, founder of the International Pole Dancing Fitness Association.

"There will be a day when the Olympics see pole dancing as a sport," she told The Associated Press. "The Olympic community needs to acknowledge the number of people doing pole fitness now. We’re shooting for 2012."

Some dancers aren’t so sure about pole dancing at the Olympics because they worry that the sensual aspect of the discipline would be destroyed, and that old-school pole dancers might be pushed aside by gymnasts, circus performers and Chinese acrobats who could easily pick up the moves.

"I don’t need to see pole dancing in the Olympics," U.S. Pole Dance Federation co-founder Wendy Traskos said. "I don’t think this is necessarily the path that we need to take, as a sport."

But Traskos notes that the notion of pole dancers competing for Olympic medals isn’t as farfetched as it was five years ago.

"Now, when you talk about it you don’t hear 'like a stripper' anymore," Traskos said. "You hear things like, 'Oh, my friend takes classes for fitnees' or 'Yes, I've seen it on 'Oprah.' "
