Floyd Mayweather Finally takes Opportunity to Extend Legacy at Welterweight

Floyd Mayweather was forced to accept the challenge from Shane Mosley after backing out of the Manny Pacquiao fight due to a failed attempt to modify drug testing rules. That will give him his first real test at welterweight. Oscar De La Hoya included (he actually fought Oscar at 154), Floyd is the best welterweight Mayweather has ever fought. The fight should be competitive if Shane brings his best tonight. I expect Mayweather to win because of Shane's speed and skill limitations when compared to the better Mayweather. Shane's power will only be a factor if he can land which will be very difficult against Floyd. This is definitely an interesting fight that has made people forget about the Pacquiao fiasco at least for the time being. Expect a huge pay per view given the significant amounts of interest in this fight and given that there are two well known Americans in the ring. Boxing at the top levels is untouchable right now and the very top is Manny and Floyd.
