‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley once attributed Floyd Mayweather‘s star status to the latter’s gift of the gab and the ability to back his statements in the sport of boxing. Ahead of the utterance of this observance, when Max Kellerman asked Mayweather about a potential contest with Mosley following Floyd’s fresh win over Juan Manuel Marquez in 2009, ‘TBE’ stated that he feared nobody let alone Shane Mosley.

At the post-fight interaction with Mosley, initiated by Kellerman, Floyd Mayweather ran into a heated argument with the then 38-year-old WBA super welterweight champion. After over seven months, ‘TBE’ squared off with Shane Mosley. Even after over 12 years, a boxing enthusiast recalls how at the HBO face-off, Kellerman alluded to an article and read out the exact written description of ‘TBE’ – “a surefire hit who’s plotting to smash through all boundaries of boxing”.

From the opposite side, Mosley claimed his style to be versatile and promised a difficult fight on May 1st in the ring. The fight went the entire distance of the scheduled 12 rounds and Mayweather won via UD. After over a decade, fans are still entertained by Mayweather’s heated moment with Mosley.

On the other hand, one, who missed HBO boxing, said the following: “HBO why did y’all leave? The way the fights were announced 24/7 and interviews also commenting between fights is just not the same anymore.”

Finally, one said, “He waited until Mosley became 38, he knew when to fight for his advantage. Prime Mosley would have beaten him easily.”
