MAYWEATHER READIES FOR MOSELY, "NOTICEABLY EDGY, DENYING VISITORS, EXTENDING TRAINING HOURS" SAYS L.A. TIMES

Unless you've been in the Tibetan mountains for the past few months, you know that Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr. and "Sugar" Shane Mosley will go head to head in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand this Saturday, May 1st. Mayweather is putting his 40-0 record on the line but he doesn't seem fazed if you have been watching HBO's 24/7-- a  (4 week) behind the scenes documentary series which gives us an upclose view of the boxers during the tail end of training camp.

Floyd and Shane are polar opposites as far as personality goes, and we don't need a documentary to show us that. But, as for who has the better boxing skills and savvy, well, we will just have to wait until Saturday to see who's really ready. Mosley, at 38 years old, is the underdog.  He has been out of the action for more than a year and again-- he's 38. And, 38 years old ain't the new 28 in the boxing ring. On the other hand, Mayweather, at 33 years old,  is as fit and confident as any athlete ten years his junior. That, along with his 40-0 record, which includes a win against Oscar De La Hoya (the most lucrative in boxing history), gives him the edge-- in our opinion.
