A fight that has been in demand by boxing fans is now on the horizon. Shane Mosley is set to face Floyd Jr. on May 1 in a match that pits the two best American fighters today.
No doubt one of the best fights in recent years, I just wished it would have happened a few years earlier when Shane Mosley was close to his prime. Nonetheless, it’s still a great fight since Mosley continues to defy Father Time by performing at an elite level.
Now Floyd Mayweather is about to step in the ring against an opponent that can closely match his ring generalship, quickness and speed. Still, he will probably be the odds on favorite to beat Mosley because of his superior skills. In addition, many have argued that Mosley’s style is tailor made for Mayweather as he has problems against fighters that have great jabs and movement.
But what should be noted is that Mosley seems to be rejuvenated since he hooked up with Nazeem Richardson. When discussing the best trainers, Nazeem Richardson should be in the discussion along with Roach, Mayweather and Nacho.
Nazeem Richardson is one of the best in the business as far as creating a game plan for his fighters and making sure that they follow it. This is obvious when you see him in the corner talking to his fighters. He gives his fighters detailed and accurate information on what is happening and what his fighters need to do. So it should not come as a surprise that his fighters Hopkins and Mosley both just pulled upsets against Pavlik and Margarito respectively.
I expect Mosley with Richardson’s guidance to give Mayweather Jr a tough fight. So if Mayweather does indeed defeat Mosley even in a convincing fashion, he should be given full credit for the victory.
