Mayweather: “Shane bases everything on power and speed. It doesn’t work like that. I believe it’s all timing and inches!”
By FightFan.com Staff (07-Feb-2010)

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is currently attending Super Bowl week to promote his May 1 fight with Shane Mosley. Floyd spoke to England’s Sky Sports about his upcoming super fight and what he thinks of ‘Sugar’ Shane.

“I’m very excited to be fighting Shane. I’ve been taking it one day at a time hanging out with my team going over the game plan. I’m ready to get in to camp.”

“Shane and I have both been in the sport a long time and have tremendous backgrounds coming from boxing families. When you take the two and put them together you get a very exciting fight. I think Shane is basing everything on power and speed. It doesn’t work like that. I believe everything in life is timing and inches. It’s not just about being a defensive fighter. It’s about being a smart fighter.”

“I’m going to come in in top condition. Shane always looks in condition in his fights so I think it will be a great fight May 1.”

“My main focus is Shane Mosley. I know in the past Shane was caught using steroids and if he’s down with taking the random blood testing I’m all for that. I think random testing should be done in boxing and all sports all over the world. We need to clean up boxing and all sports. I’ve dominated the sport of boxing for years and done so in a very clean fashion.”

“There’s a rematch clause in the contract but I didn’t really think too much about that. If Shane is concerned with a rematch that’s his prerogative but I believe in getting things done the first go around so I don’t worry about the second time.”

yeah, as long as Xylocaine is legal in vegas and you keep fighting in vegas, you’ll always be clean. :D

This will be a boring fight.
It will be a “Hide and seek” and “Running and Running” for Floyd.
Shane will be tiring off chasing Floyd.

Roy Says:

Floydy is just a cocky boxer that needs to be taught a lesson in humility.
If he will lose to Shane in this fight then that will be the first step to his greatness as that will trim his gargantuan ego.

nes2 Says:

Floyd is full of air! he has dominated those B-fighters that he picked but not the A-fighters whom him avoided! and he cannot clean boxing because his hands are dirty with xylocaine.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
pacfan Says:

Mayweather will probably use more Xylocaine to numb his hands. So long as he only fight in Las vegas.

Floyd Jr. has to fight Ivan Calderon first before he can claim domination in boxing!

Im just interested in Floyd’s first loss.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:33 pm

Floyd Jr. has been using Xylocaine to numb his hands, now he is also using it on his face that’s why he is not ashamed to declare domination in boxing.

since the Mayweather-Moseley is already official, i have something to ask:
1. When will the random blood testing for both the two fighters begin?
2. Who will administer the blood testing:NSAC or WADA?

jake delosangeles Says:

Mr chicken floyd noweather extremely possesses self belief and overconfidence, this is the first” if it will really happen comes may 1st” that he will fight a really good challenging fight coz he has not fought a good urine drinker marquez nor a brainless hatton,mister chicken floyd should refrain from USING XYLOCAINE if he really wants to clean the boxing sports, otherwise, he IS JUST A BIG FILTHY COWARD HYPOCRITE CLASS B BOXERS.He does more talking using his bad mouth, he should let his boxing skill talk more. Shame on cherry picking floyd.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:46 pm

the short terms for TIMING AND INCHES IS ” CHEATING ” do you agree? because mayweather make sure that hes opponent is older than him, and also make sure that the reach is shoter tah him also. . so its KAGULANGAN AND ALAM. .

Fair Dinkum Says:

Floyd has to date showed the symptoms of using Xylocaine over the years, delusional and dementia.

He parades and masquerades himself now as the world ‘Boxing Drug Free Crusader’ for announcing, “I think random testing should be done in boxing and all sports all over the world. We need to clean up boxing and all sports. I’ve dominated the sport of boxing for years and done so in a very clean fashion.”

Sure, we are being taken for a ride, and the tale sounds incredible from someone who comes from a family of convicted crims with flawed characters. What a SHAME, Shane needs to bring (WEATHER) the FLAWED Floyed back to reality!

Perhaps, if he decides to fight professionally outside Nevada, then maybe people might reconsider his ‘clean act’ (restitution) and submit to legitimate drug tests (NSAC or WADA).

“it doesnt work like that” im very sick of that expression! it seems that his “way” is the only thing that only works! in my opinion power and speed and conditioning of shane cant beat by smart/timing, brittlehands and running around of mayweather!

temper proof Says:

It all started when he Mayweather’s camp speculated Manny was not ready to fight them yet. Random blood test demand were all intended for avoiding Manny. Floyd is now stucked in a situation where he has no choice but to honor the verbal agreement who Shane publicly agreed. This is Shane’s smartest move ever since that he challenged Floyd on the air. Every boxing fans knows Shane got all the skills to thoroughly dominate Mayweather. I still have a feeling though that this random test can affect Shane’s performance but hoping it would be minimal.

YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT THERE’S A GREAT CHANCE YOUR FACE IS GOING TO BE RESTRUCTURED COME MAY1. WE’RE REALLY SORRY THAT YOU ARE PUSHED TO TAKE THIS FIGHT.

EDWIN VALERO has 27 win, 27 K.O. & no loss. He should be the #2 pound for pound not floyd.

floyd doesn’t deserved to be at the top ten pound 4 pound coz he cheated on his last fight.. He weighed in 2 pounds over the limit against an old bloated juan marquez & still used xylocaine to numb his hands?

WHO IS THE REAL CHEATER???????
February 8th, 2010 at 12:19 am
erwin Says:

what needs to be clean is what comes out from your big mouth, floyd…

why would manny give in to your demands based on the premised that he is a cheater. why would he allow you, floyd, to dictate the terms of the fight… it’s a matter of principle!

what if manny behave just like you, floyd, and demand that you take a psychiatric and mental examination and if you refuse manny will accuse you of being insane with the highest form of mental disorder? you want to clean up the sports, then stop destroying somebody’s reputation, stop acting like a commissioner, and start cleaning your big dirty mouth! if you can’t, then just retire together with dela hoya and boxing will be better for it!

Anonymous Says:

for all you confused fans out there xylocaine is something that even dentists use to numb their patients so they do not feel anything. Floyd has had problems throughout his career. Even broke his hand in a fight. It does not make anyone stronger or faster or give any kind of advantage in a fight. And it is not illegal in Nevada so it is not cheating. And floyd has fought and won in other states.

I bet Floyd will win easy for this fight. He’ll just run around and tire Shane until he finishes him off..

don’t you realize how so many of you come here just to hate on floyd. He does that on purpose you know to make you dislike him. There are loyal floyd fans and strong haters. The fans will watch his fight no matter what and the haters hate him so much they’ll watch the fight also just to try and see him get knocked out.That is why so many new pacquiao fans have come out of nowhere lately because they hate floyd they make pacquiao out to be this unbeatable miracle which is not true. All of this just out of the hate you have for floyd. It’s pathetic. Floyd is a master of beating opponents before they even get in the ring with him. Ask any athlete, sports is more mental than physical which is why fighters like a pacquiao for example can go out and beat bigger stronger opponents.

its in the family blood to take PED……They have been using PED all their life and its becoming a normal way of life in the family to use PED(floydroids, Floyd Sr, Roger and Jeff)……They’re getting use to it that PED becomes normal and legal substance to them……

Marquez himself said in one interview that Floydroids came in 20 pounds heavier…Marquez was 148 and Floydroids was 168 pounds….GDP himself, promoter of Marquez, disclosed the real weight from Marquez camp…With this weight, he can compete against the best in super middleweight…..wha t a coward coming very heavy and fighting smalley and bloated fighter in Marquez…He is on something….Floydro ids from 106 pnd up to 168pounds….Who’s suspicious???????
February 8th, 2010 at 1:32 am
dbest Says:

BTW, YES, I think it’s cheating. Do you know the effects of Xylocaine?

1. Sensation of euphoria
2. Psychological stimulation
3. Feeling of Invincibility.. See More
4. Illusions of power beyond your athletic ability
5. Increased pain threshold
6. AND FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE INJURY.
7. ability to punch with full force without fear of pain.
8.increase mental toughness.
With these effects of Xylocaine, you could punch bricks and metal with your bare hands and not feel pain..how is that NOT cheating?
February 8th, 2010 at 1:32 am
dbest Says:

Floydroids is injecting xylocaine into his hands…..Why he is injecting for 8 long years?because it help him a lot both physically and mentally by numbing his hands to pain and still be 150% confident during fight….I’m pretty sure your confidence and mental toughness will be affected so much if you are under so much pain…..also the concentration and focus of a fighter will be affected too since it will bother him so much in a fight….So, xylocaine is considered PED since it is out of ordinary and it enhancement you to perform better…..Imagine without xylocaine, so much pain in your hands will surely make its toll during fight and will result to lose of confidence, focus and concentration, fear of pain will get to your head and will ruin your mental toughness…With xylocaine, everything will be fine without negative effect in ur performance….This is considered PED since it helps the fighter gain an edge during fight…its a cheater act….

Mosley and Floyd will undergo random testing under the GDP and Mayweather newly installed and controlled Commission…..GDP bestfriend and golf buddies from USADA will head the newly installed Commission……Agai n, GDP fooled us again as he fooled us before when he hide his positive result of taking illegal substance in one of his fight……How much more capable he is when he’s now both the promoter and has full controll of his new version of Commission with his USADA golf buddies on his side….What a stupid!!!!!

xylocaine is not listed an illegal substance in sports by the world anti-doping agency smart asses. And floyd has fought outside nevada before if you don’t remember and also dominated. Xylocaine does not make you perform any better. It just numbs that is why is it primarily used by dentists. If it was doing something else they wouldn’t let it be used on kids.

do u think floytdroids will be as confident feeling so much pain in his hands during fight….if ur hurting ur hands so much during fight it will surely affect you physically and mentally….He use this PED to numb his hand so he could not feel the pain and still be 150% confident….Without this, i think he will quit during the fight coz he could not bear the pain……u get it!!

Xyclocaine is very difficult to trace, and not even blood or urine sample can trace it thoroughly.

Mayweather’s choice of USADA, an unlicense commission in Nevada has also banned xyclocaine and they consider it an illegal steroids or illegal enhancement supplement. The Olympic Commission has also banned Xylocaine. All 49 states has banned Xylocaine except Nevada.

Floydroids is PED user for 8 long years…He loves to fight smaller and older fighters and still has the guts to cheat them by injecting PED into his system…This boxer should be ban in boxing and jail for life where he’s rightly belong…..A drug addict with full of PED all over his body, tax evader, a cheater, and women’s beater, etc, US government must get rid of this criminal out of society!!!
February 8th, 2010 at 2:15 am
dbest Says:

These two fighters deserved to be tested rigorously and not pacquiao. Shane is a proven steroid user and floyd is a cheater in weight and a xylocaine user to numb his hands. That is enough to raise suspicion that they will do everything to gain an unfair advantage to their opponent. Therefore this fight will be the fight of two cheaters in the game. Who will emerge as the best cheater of all time?! I bet mayweather would like to add that to his 0. Mayweather tries to discredit pacquiaos achievement by insunating that the only way he acn succeed is by the use of drugs. That is plain jealousy and envious that an asian boxer is greater than him. He says pacquiao started as and ordinary boxer and became extra ordinary! what a lameduck! pacquiao went straight to professional boxer and had to fight tough and best boxers along the way to earn money and respect. Mayweather looks extraordinary in his early fights because he was forced feed with bum boxers as he is protected by his promoters, pacquiao does not have the same protection early in his career. Mayweather said he ants to clean up boxing, why did he keep silent when mosley was found using steroids? and did not ask marquez to have blood test? what a hypocrite! what is he scared of pacquiao who he said is ordinary and one dimensional? He is afraid that pacquiao will reconfigure his face! hahaha
February 8th, 2010 at 2:17 am
dbest Says:

It is one of the substances banned by USADA. The fact that Mayweather is using it to numb his hands so that he can throw harder punches without feeling the pain means he is using the drug and is getting undue advantage over his opponent.

Floyd’s being a hypocrite. I hate to say it but as good a boxer as he is, he is full of shit. And the funny thing is, he actually believes everything he’s saying. Sometimes it’s really better to just do the talking in the ring.

hey duckweather, you think you got timing and inches while mosely have speed and power, well guess what, the pacman got all those things you & shane have, that’s why you are nothin compared to him. even if you’re too much whining in public on that random blood test, of cleaning the sports, targeting the pacman’s reputation, nobody cares what your saying anymore, you sounded alike your slightly insane dad and uncles, you need to go to a psychologist, haha. yourself claimed your the smarter fighter, you’re really slightly insane also, who would think your smart, your a coward that’s the truth, you are a loser. sooner you are going down, everybody’s is sensing it now loser, honestly ask the people around you loser. pacman is the smartest, the best and the god of boxing, the true embodiment of of an absolute warrior!

Floyd is afraid of shane because shane can also talk trash. Floyd is an insecure bully who has met his match in shane. Calling shane a “gentleman” and saying they’re in good terms is such a bs! Floyd’s just afraid to talk too much trash against shane because shane’s can talk back…and he can hurt little Floyd’s insecure soul.

FUTURE FIGHTS OF MANNY PACQUIAO SHOULD HAVE A STIPULATION IN THE CONTRACT THAT WHOMEVER HE FIGHTS NEXT SHOULD NOT USE XYLOCAINE, ON AND ONE WEEK BEFORE THE SCHEDULED FIGHT BECAUSE THIS WOULD GIVE HIS OPPONENT UNDUE ADVANTAGE AND DOES NOT CONFORM TO FAIR PLAY.

MAYWEATHER CLEAN????XYLOCAINE ADDICT.

woooooooowwwwwwwww I never in my life seen so many hating comments, that’s fuckin sad…. But i guess haters got to do their job it’s not part time it’s full time. They are both great fighters I’m a big mayweather fan even though he acts like the ginger bread man sometimes but he’s mad good. Mosley has his ups and downs but is still good also. And my nigga pac-roids is also good. Every dog has their day. Stop hating if floyd think’s he’s the best fuck it, hating aint going to make him lose anytime soon. And there’s more boxers in the world than them. Like chad dawson, danny jacobs, andre ward, andre berto, waun lopez, etc… take your focus off of the popular boxers. I could tell all you people know is floyd, pacquiao, cotto, and mosley. Because their mainstream. And u people love floyd because every time i come to this website he has the most comments on his shit. Fuck it my nigga floyd aka the ginger bread man is the truth and ya’ll know it. Ya’ll would hate to see him lose cause it would take all the action out of things and deep down inside ya’ll know that. If he lose we lose. OH YEAH WHO DAT, WHO DAT, WHO DAT SAID THEY GONA BEAT THEM SAINTS congrats to DREW BREES don’t worry manning get em next year hopefully Mark Sanchez goes to the super bowl lets go JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im convinced the majority of you commenting are idiots. Xylocaine in NOT Illegal….so DROP IT! Steroids are. Apparently this room is filled with people who know nothing about boxing. GO WATCH MMA or something! Everything Floyd said was within reason. And yes, he has dominated the sport of boxing. Hes fought nothing but world champions. Never won a vacated title in his life. It amazes me the hatred people show. Women lie, men, lie numbers DONT!!!

@ Kabute:

Really?! Thats the best that you can do? Hey, has it ever appeared to any of you idiots that Floyd plays the bad guy on purpose. I guess all of you are falling right into the trap. I guess its ok for a fighter to use steroids and yet keep all of his devoted fans. Then of course, if they support this man to an extreme, simply to do so in hopes that a fighter that they hate, for no apparent reason other than he has a big mouth, will lose a fight, Thats not a real fan at all. Mayweather fans are loyal. 40 years ago, i wonder if boxing fans hated Muhammad Ali? it took him gettin his face beat in and falling victim to a serious disease for people to respect him. Thats sad…May 1st will be shane’s last hoorah. Enjoy this bandwagon. Something tells me its wheels are gonna give out soon.

Fraud Mayweather cannot even fight in other states &
other parts of the world, unlike Manny he has fought from Africa to japan & inside Thailand.

How can he say he dominate boxing for years??? duh!
he only fought in America. he was so popularized only by mainstream american media. Floyd get out of your shell & fought outside of US.

The Truth Says:

LMFAO.. What the fuck are u talkin about! who the fuck is there 2 fight in japan or thailand or africa? thats why fannypac has so many wins.. cuz he was fightin other bums in the phillipines 4 so many years!.any real boxer or boxing fan knows that if someone wants 2 go down as one of the greatest u gotta win over the american fans! n really one of the only ways 2 do that is by winning big fights here in america!.

Lmao n damn ive never seen so many haters be4. i mean im shure most of u guys are asian but still stop hatin!. look juss pull ur head out of pacmans ass for 5 minutes n maybe u will see the truth. lmao ur sittin here gettin on PBF 4 usin Xyocaine (which is LEGAL) to numb his hands! How is that cheating? does it make him hit harder like the plaster did for margarito? NO! does it give him extra endurance and juss make him an animal in the ring like the EPO/other steroids did 4 shane or ur boi pacroid? NO!.Lmao fannypac juss turned down 25 million 2 not take a blood test! come on son.. dun that seem a lil bit shady 2 you guys? i mean im not sayin hes on it. but if he has nothin 2 hide why not take the test and prove all the doubters wrong? i mean it juss make sense n wud be the logical way 2 prove ur innocence! not filing a law suit hahaha!

so i mean if u guys wanna hate thats all good do ur thing.. but atleast come with ur real reasons 4 hatin n juss tell the truth of how u go 2 bed every nite dreaming that this guy will lose and that u cant wait 2 actually see it. but i mean if thats what u guys r hopin for.. u mine as well wish in one hand and shit in the other n see which one fills up first! hahahaaaa. n in the mean time give the man his props. hes 40-0 n like he said has been dominating the sport 4 years and has done it in a clean fashion. and thats the truth

I am the only one here actually excited that this fight is happening? A lot of people seem to say he only took this fight because he had to. He didn’t have to. He could have easily fought someone else. No matter what he does the hates are still going to do what they do best, hate. Don’t you guys see that by taking this fight Floyd’s next to fight he could lose to a mosley or a pacquiao. Pacquiao is picking fights he could very easily win and if they this fight didn’t happen he would just have kept fighting those flat-footed boxers who just stand there taking punches. But now by this floyd-shane fight actually happening pacquiao will have to take the winner of this fight no matter what. Think about it. Do we really want to see the top 3 fighters in the world (which happen to be in the same division which rarely happens)fighting other fighters who have almost no chance of beating them. No we want to see them fighting each other so credit to floyd for taking this fight and setting up other big fights later on in the year. Whether it be a pacquiao-mosley or pacquiao-mayweather but in the end any boxing fan would agree these are the fights we want to see

>>BTW, YES, I think it’s cheating. Do you know the effects of Xylocaine?

1. Sensation of euphoria
2. Psychological stimulation
3. Feeling of Invincibility.. See More
4. Illusions of power beyond your athletic ability
5. Increased pain threshold
6. AND FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE INJURY.
7. ability to punch with full force without fear of pain.
8.increase mental toughness.
With these effects of Xylocaine, you could punch bricks and metal with your bare hands and not feel pain..how is that NOT cheating?

Everything u mentioned is a mental effect..if I say gatorade is going to make me stronger and faster I might actually feel stronger because I just believe it, not because gatorade does that. PHDs on the other do give you that edge which is why they are illegal, and xylocaine is not illegal according to the World Anti Doping Agency

Types of performance-enhancing drugs

Although the phrase performance-enhancing drugs is typically used in reference to anabolic steroids or their precursors, world anti-doping organizations apply the term broadly. The phrase has been used to refer to several distinct classes of drugs:

1. Lean mass builders are used to drive or amplify the growth of muscle and lean body mass, and sometimes to reduce body fat. This class of drugs includes anabolic steroids, beta-2 agonists, selective androgen receptor modulator SARMs and various human hormones, most notably human growth hormone, as well as some of their precursors.

2. Stimulants are used by athletes to stimulate their bodies and perform at optimum level, usually to increase alertness, decrease fatigue, and/or increase aggressiveness. Examples include caffeine and amphetamines.

3. Painkillers mask athletes’ pain so they can continue to compete and perform beyond their usual pain thresholds. Blood pressure is increased causing the cells in the muscles to be better supplied with vital oxygen. Painkillers used by athletes range from common over-the-counter medicines such as NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) to powerful prescription narcotics.

4. Sedatives are sometimes used by athletes in sports like archery which require steady hands and precise aim, and also by athletes attempting to overcome excessive nervousness or discomfort. Alcohol, beta blockers, and marijuana are examples.

5. Diuretics expel water from athletes’ bodies. They are often used by athletes such as wrestlers, who need to meet weight restrictions. Many stimulants also have a secondary diuretic effect.

6. Masking drugs are used to prevent the detection of other classes of drugs. These evolve as quickly as do testing methods – which is very quickly indeed[1] – although a time-tested classic example is the use of epitestosterone, a drug with no performance-enhancing effects, to restore the testosterone/epitestosterone ratio (a common criterion in steroid testing) to normal levels after anabolic steroid supplementation.

I take back what I said, IMO if you cant handle the pain in your hands or deal with the pain that you can also inflict with your hands WITHOUT USING YOUR NATURAL ABILITY to inflict and receive pain in your hands THEN YOU NEED TO RETIRE!

everybody is on floyds under shorts please manny had trouble with marquez so your saying manny had trouble beating a B level fighter. Floyd dominated marquez who has manny beat cotto wow no defense against a highly active fighter de la hoya who dropped so much weight he beat his self before the fight…. don’t let me get started on mosley he has trouble with smart defensive boxer’s just look at his winky wright fight he lost twce and floyd defense is better and he is faster then winky so floyd would make him look like a B level fighter and make manny look like a C level fighter………. no excuses floyd beat all time greats in his prime coming up and he is gone prove why he is the greatest May 1st

xylocaine is banned in 49 states in the us except in nevada that’s why kenducky floyd chicken won’t fight outside of las vegas. and if using xylocaine to numb your hands and gain unfair advantage in a fight is not cheating, then margarito is a saint……
