Mayweather Looking Sharp, Knocking out sparring partners

Mayweather vs Mosley

"Floyd's looking sharp," a source close to the situation informed us after witnessing firsthand a recent training session with Floyd Mayweather, who's extremely focused on his highly-anticipated May 1st showdown with WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley. In fact, Mayweather is looking so good that there mamy be a need for new sparring partners. "He may need stronger sparring partners because he's knocking these guys out whenever he wants to," the source added.

Although the source would not elaborate on exactly who those sparring partners were, Mayweather's known for allowing any challenger who questions his skills to step into the ring for a few rounds of sparring. As he was preparing for his bout with Juan Manuel Marquez, there were reports that jr. welterweight Lamont Peterson tried to pit his skills against Mayweather. According to eyewitnesses, Mayweather dominated the action, abusing Peterson both physically and verbally. He also did the same to former welterweight champion Zab Judah, who showed up in Vegas one time to spar with Mayweather, only to get the same kind of treatment. It was that very same sparring session that led to Judah's eagerness to exact revenge inside the ring against Mayweather. Unfortunately for him, that plan didn't work out so well.

As Floyd continues to train diligently for his upcoming title challenge, I'm not so sure the same can be said about the champion. With roughly four weeks to go until May 1, Mosley has yet to spend a significant amount of time working on the gameplan with master strategist and head trainer Naazim Richardson. In fact, according to reports, Shane is not having the same kind of success in sparring that Floyd Mayweather is having. "I hear Shane's getting his ass handed to him in training," one source revealed. Whether or not that's true remains to be seen, however, with Richardson's attention being focused on Hopkins this week, it's a little concerning to know that Mosley's camp isn't running quite as smoothly leading up to the toughest challenge of his career.

Floyd Mayweather: I'll milk Mosley TWICE, then consider Pacquiao

Mayweather vs Mosley fight

Sacramento Fight Sports Examiner | Rick Rockwell

In a recent interview with “Money” Mayweather, Floyd spoke about numerous topics in effort to hype up the debut of HBO 24/7 and his fight with Shane Mosley. Among the topics discussed were Pacquiao, Mosley, drug testing and more. But it was Floyd’s analysis of why he only fights once a year that stood out. Let’s examine further.

“See Shane and other fighters, they can fight 3 and 4 times a year. I can’t. You know, when Floyd Mayweather fight, it’s like the All-Star, it’s like the Superbowl. It comes once a year, you know what I’m saying, so you better pay and watch!” Mayweather Jr, Fighthype.com

Personally speaking, I would prefer to see a fighter fight multiple times a year if there are credible opponents and no health concerns. In my opinion, these once a year fighters like Mayweather, take less chances and seem to only care about personal gain and less about becoming the best fighter.

Pacquiao fights numerous times a year and takes on credible opponents. Look where that’s gotten him. He’s the best fighter in the world and has etched his name in the history books of Boxing.

All-Star, SuperBowl

I couldn’t disagree with Floyd more. However, at least he’s commenting on topics that won’t truly offend others and not making racial, discriminating, or false statements. But, Maweather isn’t at the level where his fights can be considered ‘must see’ like the SuperBowl.

James McTavish Sacramento, CA “Did you see Floyd’s comments saying he’s like the SuperBowl? Which fighters would you say had fights that were like the SuperBowl?”

The last two fighters that I can think of, who came close to being like a All-Star game or a SuperBowl were Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali. They rose to a level of popularity where their fights eventually felt like the biggest things in sports. But, a fight between Floyd and Manny would be on this level too.

“Mayweather Promotions, we don’t need 1000 fights, we need just 1 that can generate hundreds of millions by itself. You know what I’m saying? 85% of the pay-per-view is all generated when Floyd Mayweather lace up.” Mayweather, Fighthype.com

Well, then Floyd should have made the fight happen with Manny because that will be the only fight where he earns hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, it’s possible that 85% of the PPV was generated by Floyd especially when he fought Marquez and other less popular fighters. However, his fight against Shane won’t be 85% generated by himself. And, if he fights Pacquiao then I might even give the edge to Pacman for who generates more PPV interest.
