Shane Mosley: "I Wasn't Impressed By Mayweather"


There has been a lot of talk about the post-fight incident between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley. After Mayweather's win over Juan Manuel Marquez last Saturday in Las Vegas, Mosley entered the ring and had a war of words with Mayweather on the live HBO pay-per-view broadcast.
Speaking with BoxingScene's Ernest Gabion and Luis Sandoval, Mosley said that in order to be considered as the best, Mayweather needs to accept his challenge.
"Floyd has a big ego. If he wants to be the best, to be considered the best. You can't just say 'oh, I'm the best,' and then have the crowd and the reporters say 'you're the best.' You have to get in there and prove it. He knows in his heart that he has to come in the ring and fight me to be the best. When he does it is a different story. Maybe he's trying to wait until I'm 40 years old, I don't know," Mosley said.
He doesn't stay quiet about Mayweather's decision to fight a much smaller man in Marquez. He said Mayweather was given two options for his return - Mosley or Marquez. Mayweather made a decision to go with Marquez. Mosley was not impressed with Mayweather's win over a much smaller man.
"Mayweather chose to fight Marquez. There were two options out there. There was Mosley and Marquez. He chose Marquez. [He was asked] 'which one do you want?' [He said] 'I want Marquez.' Why? You tell me," Mosley said.
"I wasn't impressed with the whole fight. I didn't agree with this fight. Marquez is a great fighter. He is a world class fighter. He showed a lot of heart. I just didn't agree with the fight. It's not the right fight. When you have the welterweight champ and the lightweight champ calling you out, and you go on ESPN and say I want to steal some money [by fighting Marquez] and the writers agree with this and let this happen, then yeah I have a problem with that."
