Some fights remain forever etched in your memory, and that is not untrue when it comes to the legendary fight that happened between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya on May 5th, 2007. Though Hoya lost that fight, the controversial opinion of many remains that he actually won.

Recently, Shane Mosley took to social media to divulge the occurrence and what in his opinion had happened at that match. This left a bad taste in Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Pomotion’s mouth. He took to Twitter to give Mosley a piece of his mind by confronting him over the controversial remarks regarding Floyd Maywether Jr. and Oscar De la Hoya.

Mosley’s comments stirred up quite a buzz in the boxing world, with many still debating the outcome of the Floyd vs. Oscar fight. Mosley comments “Other people think that Oscar won he threw more punches he landed more punches. Look how good Oscar did with him. Some people think Oscar won.”

In a recent interview, Shane Mosley boldly stated that if he had been in his prime and faced Floyd Mayweather, he would have knocked Mayweather out. Which is odd, considering Mosley did have a bout with Mayweather back in 2010, Mayweather came out undefeated. These allegations come out in the light that Mosley beat De La Hoya twice, and that he could easily take on Mayweather Jr. He implies that his victories should be seen as a measure of his capability.

Leonard Ellerbe wasted no time in responding to ‘Sugar’s remarks. He offered a harsh reality check, reminding everyone that ‘Money’ and Mosley had indeed fought back in May 2010. Ellerbe was quick to highlight the unanimous decision of Mayweather’s win.
