Shane Mosley Feels He's Doing Mayweather's Dirty Work

While Shane Mosley was out doing some promotional work for his upcoming fight with Manny Pacquiao, Mosley said he felt he was doing Floyd Mayweather's 'dirty work' for fighting Pacquiao. I guess you can count Mosley among many that feel Mayweather is dodging Pacquiao.

"I don't know what to make of Floyd not fighting this fight. It's mind-boggling to me," said Mosley, who lost a lopsided decision to the unbeaten Mayweather last year. "It's like I said on Twitter, it feels like I'm doing Floyd's dirty work."


I'm no boxing expert, but I've seen enough of Mosley to know that he isn't doing anyone's dirty work. I can understand how he feels, since Mayweather has ducked the issue of facing Manny in the past. Mosley is taking this fight because he feels he can actually win the fight. Mosley has never shied away from fighting the best in his career. He's had his share of losses, but also has beaten some of the best in his career. He lobbied promoter Bob Arum to take this fight. So I don't want to hear about him fighting somone else's battles. I don't see that being the case. I would hate to see him be totally outmatched in this fight, which many think he will be.

Mosley thinks Mayweather hasn't fought Pacquiao because he's a lefty and Mayweather has had trouble in the past against southpaws. As time goes on I'm starting to think Mayweather really doesn't want this fight. First there was the request for Olympic style drug testing. Now there are Mayweather's legal problems that are threatning to derail the fight altogether.

Mayweather's legal problems are far different from Mike Tyson's, but it does mirror the way how Tyson went in the tank before fighting Evander Holyfield. Remember that fight was going to be made before Tyson went to prison. The fight hd to be made after Tyson's prison stint and he was never the same fighter. I'm not saying that's how Mayweather's career will go but at the rate he's going he may never see the inside of a ring again.

Which will lead others to say they're doing his 'dirty work'.

Mayweather was Money Saturday night.

Going into Saturday night's Shane Mosley vs. Floyd Mayweather fight, i thought that Mosley had a chance of winning.I didn't say he would win,I just thought that he had power and skill that Mayweather never went up against.I felt that if Mosley could get a few good shots in early,it would force Mayweather into a brawl and that's not his style.I was partially right,as Mosley got to Mayweather early,but it was straight up "Money" the rest of the way.
    Floyd Mayweather thorouhgly dominated last night's fight with a display of speed,flair and occasional power that wore down Mosley and left him visibly tired.The first round was a feeling out process and Mosley clearly dominated the action in the second round.He rocked Mayweather with a couple of rights that left the Money Man staggering and holding on.But,Mosley was unable to finish him off.A testament to what a great fighter Mayweather is.After that Mayweather,who is known as a defensive fighter,steadily walked down Mosley and wore him out.At times it looked like Mayweather was hitting a speed bag,as he connected on numerous straight right hands that snapped Mosley's head.Mayweather also proved that he has a helluva boxing IQ that is matched by any of the fighters of today.Skeptics will say he beat an old fighter.I say that's a big bunch of bull,because no one was saying that after he Mosley stopped Antonio Margarito.For most of the night Mayweather made Mosley look amateurish and outclassed.From the eighth round on it looked like Mosley was breathing hard and looking to just finish on his feet.
  Mayweather is the class of the welterweight division and the face of boxing.He's the only man that really sells fights.The next hurdle for him should be Manny Pacquiao. But due to Mayweather's insistence on the olympic style blood and urine testing,that fight may never happen.Mayweather says he just wants to fight on a level playing field and I can understand that.And if Manny has nothing to hide,why doesn't he comply.This fight has to be made,as its the only big money megafight that could draw any interest to boxing.
