Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley: "I'm Going To Knock Mayweather Out"

After that, it was Manny is afraid of needles, when it was pointed out that he was showered in tattoo's and it became manny doesnt like having his blood drawn to close to fight night.

That's eitherr an extremely disingenious or a very ill-informed argument. First, Pac never said that he was frightened of needles. What he said was that he had found from experience that injections in which blood was removed weakened him for a few days. This wasn't something he dreamed up during the negotiations with Mayweather - he had been saying that ever since the first Morales fight. He had had a blood test the day before the Morales fight, and immediately afterwards he said in an interview (see here) that it had severely weakened him and that as a result his punches during the fight had been ineffective.

I think he's wrong about that, and that it's superstition on his part, but there is no reason for any rational person to think he is being insincere.

Second, he did not have his tattoos just before a fight, so they are irrelevant.

However, the 14 day cut-off would have been fair, but Mayweather didn't make that offer until after the negotiations had already broken down, and by that time, Pacquiao was too angry about the smear campaign to be willing to make any more compromises.

i dont understand why people think Manny is on roids because of his last couple fights. if you look at them they are not that impressive to begin with. Last 6 fights, UD over Barrera, SD over JMM, KO over Diaz who is very eay to hit, TKO over Dela Hoya who said Manny hits like a ***** lol, KO over hatton who was hurt by collazo, and TKO over Cotto who was hurt by Corley, Judah, and torres who are not bigger punchers than Manny. i honestly think people are actually jealous of him because he has gotten so much better than he was. i personally think he will lose to Shane and Floyd if they ever fought but to say he is on roids for no reason other than he is just good is a damn shame.

"Sugar" Shane Mosley is aiming for the knockout. He wants to put Floyd Mayweather Jr. to sleep on May 1 in Las Vegas. The press tour is nearly complete. Mosley and Mayweather have been trading challenges for over ten years. Mayweather chased after Mosley nearly a decade ago. Mosley has been chasing after Mayweather for the last few years.

I don't think it's inconceivable that Mosley will knock Floyd out. Mosley is a big, strong welterweight with a lot of power. He's coming for the KO. Of course it's unlikely he's gonna put Floyd's lights out, but not inconceivable. Floyd's been buzzed before, by Chop Chop, by Judah. Anything can happen in there. Mosley has a lot of speed too, and a good workrate. But I think this fight will go to the scorecards, and I got a feeling it'll be an SD, maybe an MD

Not necessarily. I don't know where your from and i believe on this topic region to region you'll get a different opinion. Here in the U.S. i can say that when it was 1st announced that Mayweather asked for Olympic style testing, most people here felt one of two things; this was either mayweather's way of trying to get out of the fight, or this is just mayweather starting up hype trying to get in Manny's head. Some people felt like once Manny took the test and PASSED then we'll see what Floyd comes up with next to get out of the fight. Problem is that when your position goes from, "taking blood test, but not random ones" to " we'll take random test, but only if there's a cut-off date" to "ok we'll take random test but within 30 days of the fight" to "we'll take random test up until 24 days before the fight" to "14 days is not fair" therefore fight off, even though you agreed to take a blood test after the fight, makes some people su****ious as to why.

On the other hand, when Floyd 1st stated that he wanted Olympic style testing and Team Manny would've told him to go **** himself and just walked away, nobody would've suspected Pacquiao of anything. It was his Team's excuse's on the issue and the fact that he's leaving 30 something mil on the table for a guaranteed 4mil that people think just doesn't make business/boxing sense.

Good post my G I like pac but something smell's fishey over here.

****** FLOYD best chance is to hold, and that is probably what he's going to do to MOSLEY..Hold him and throw some rabbit punch..MOSLEY needs to keep the pressure on and if he is on shape to go 12 rounds. MOSLEY will have the chance to win this fight. I really hope that MOSLEY BEAT THE **** OUT OF GAYWEATHER...Then PACQUIAO vs MOSLEY, win or lose PACQUIAO retires and GAYWEATHER can ponder about he sorry ass, ducking career....GO MOSLEY...BAN THIS FIGHT, WAIT A WEEK TO WATCH ON HBO for free.

Well said on you post..most of the people that is using the allegations of roid use are GAYWEATHER NUT HUGGERS, N******, mexican haters that got their mexicans champs beaten by PACQUIAO (some of them at least now acknowledges that PACQUIAO is a damn good figher, mexicans that is) or dumbass people that doubted PACQUIAO and put money on HATTON, DE LA HOYA AND COTTO and lost money..JAY Z is one of them...look at his reaction at ringside when PACQUIAO knockout HATTON cold..you can see this black guy with shades reaction..that was JAY Z sitting second row ringside. Bottom line there are more people that respects PACQUIAO's accomplishments in boxing than GAYWEATHER...

WELL SAID...TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.. plus sometimes the media changes the words by saying scared of needles, instead of saying that PACQUIAO is concered that the blood drawn can weaken him for a couple of days.

If Mosley can't knock him out then no one can ... (arguably)
