| Mayweather vs. LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Floyd Mayweather will take on Shane Mosley in a marquee welterweight match-up on May 1, with both fighters agreeing to "Olympic-style" drug testing - an issue that ruined Mayweather's fight with Manny Pacquiao. "This one is definitely for the fans as I wasn't going to waste anyone's time with a meaningless tune-up bout and asked to fight Shane immediately," the unbeaten Mayweather said. "I have said ever since I came back to the sport that I only wanted to fight the best. I think Shane is one of the best, but come May 1, he still won't be great enough to beat me." For his part, Mosley insisted he "will have no problem beating him." |
