‘SUGAR’ Shane Mosley, never one to be short of a few words, is planning on wrecking fight fans’ best laid plans by defeating both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao this year.
The three-weight world champion insists that he will end ‘Money’ Mayweather’s unbeaten 40-fight run on May 1 before catching up with ‘Pacman’ in the summer.
After Manny’s faultless points victory over brave but totally outgunned Joshua Clottey last weekend, Mosley said: "I would like to congratulate Manny on his victory Saturday night even though I think it put most of the fans watching to sleep.
"Now it’s time for the world to focus on May 1 when I promise you nobody will be sleeping except for Floyd after I knock him out and send him back into retirement.
"Maybe if Floyd comes back a second time, he and Manny will fight one day, but it will only be for the opportunity to fight me again; the man who beat both of them."
Meanwhile, both Mayweather and Mosley will begin the US Anti-Doping Agency gold standard anti-doping program on Monday as they continue to prepare for their clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It is the first time this level of drug testing has been used in the pro ring.
The program involves no-advance-notice sample collection of the athletes’ blood and urine prior to and after the fight so that all banned substances, some of which do not show up in urine alone, are tested for thoroughly, and with both athletes subjected to the testing program leading up to as well as after the fight.
The stringent drug testing programme is thought to have been the reason why talks between Mayweather and Pacquiao broke down earlier in the year.
