Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants Manny Pacquiao to do what Shane Mosley did — submit to Olympic-style random drug testing — so they can meet this year and finally settle who is boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighter.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. did what he does best, which is make the other guy miss while hitting him more often. Shane Mosley learned that the hard way as Mayweather dominated the final 10 rounds to win a unanimous decision in their 12-round welterweight fight Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden.
It began with a pro wrestling moment. Boxing fans hope it ends with one of the sport’s best moments in years.
Shane Mosley has waited years for a chance to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. He tried goading Mayweather into fighting him in September, crashing Mayweather’s victory interview with HBO after his return to the ring against Juan Manuel Marquez.
This is the best time. The time when all hype ceases. The time when we can stop laughing at news releases about whom Floyd Mayweather Jr. is picking to win the NBA championship or how he thinks the NFL Draft might take shape, because we are still searching to locate one soul on earth who waited for those pearls.
