I've defended Manny long enough.

Shane complied. No big deal.

PB has a point, he just wants everyone tested. If you're clean take the tests.

Fair enough, I tend to disagree but to each their own as I dont have a dog in that fight, I just want to see good fights is all.

You don't know who Larry Merchant is? He's a Hall of Fame commentator, former sportswriter and is considered by many to be one of the best boxing analysts ever. He's always been a tough post fight interviewer.

Yeah, and he needs to retire.

Did he keep grilling him?

I cut it off after Mayweather said he wouldn't fight Pac without the blood and urine tests.

he basically didn't give a **** about the win and wanted to know about the bloodtesting, and then pretty much told shane he had no business taking the fight. i think what made it so bad though was how incredibly slow the guy speaks. it drives me crazy when people talk like that.

Well I recognized him but didnt know the guys name. You gotta cut me some slack as I mentioned before, or atleast I thought I did, Im not a huge boxing fan and honestly havent watched much of it at all since Tyson was knocking guys out left and right. Ive seen Floyd fight twice, tonight and against DLH, so Im pretty new to the sport now having not watched it much at all for years.

Ya, I don't have much of an issue with some of his questions. Obviously it was something that was on everyones mind. Maybe it wasn't appropriate with Mosley standing right there, but it's something that has to be asked.

I guess I'm the only one who liked the questions.

Sure Merchant is an old, bumbling biased personality, but the questions were what we all wanted to hear.

We wanted to hear PBF's take on PacMan.

We wanted to hear Shane's thoughts after he begged for the fight.

Great interviews all around in my eyes.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Shane Mosley - 05-01-2010

Firstly, I never did like Larry Merchant, and the main problem I had with him this time is when he asked about the drug testing, and Floyd responded by saying all he wants is an even playing field for all fighters, and then Merchant follows that up with "so you're suggesting that all fighters are dirty?" SMH, couldn't put his agenda aside for even 5 minutes...

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Shane Mosley - 05-01-2010

wow....impressive, most impressive

You won't hear any Shane was over the hill talk from me.....Floyd spanked him and it was tough to watch as Shanes my fav.

Floyd saw every thing coming just about.....hes one slick mofo thats for sure....pumped the jab well and put a hurting on em

I was so ticked off watching this fight and Shanes strategy of standing in the middle of he ring getting cut up like one of Freddys victims(should have went Hatton).....I didn't want to see him go out like this, still love the guy though

And now the inevitable cluster***** that will be Pac vs May talks....IMO I can't see the fight taking place for at least another year maybe 2 if ever....Mays going to want more after his performance and I doubt Pac will give in to that anytime soon

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Shane Mosley - 05-01-2010

Pacman has definitely gotta be kicking himself somewhere right now. He coulda made 40 million dollars on a fight with Mayweather and "knocked him out" for "falsely accusing" him of using performance enhancers. Instead he walked, took an easy fight and allowed Floyd to take the much tougher fight, make it look like child's play and up his worth at the negotiation table. Blood testing won't be the issue of the next go round of trying to get that fight going, it'll be Floyd having the leverage to deny all that BS Manny demanded the first time around and he eventually gave into including the cash split. Real brilliant negotiating there Pac. I'm sure he'll be a essay question on the wrong ways to conduct business in sports management courses in the future for this one.

I was following the score online-The "writer/scorer" gave Mosley a 10-8 2nd Round-teased me a little.

Two ringside judges scored it 119-109 for Mayweather, while the third had it 118-110. The Associated Press had him winning 117-110.
