"He's backed into a corner. He wants to belive that he's the best. He keeps saying he's the best. You know, he runs his mouth and says, 'I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best in history.' At some point, you have to back that up...Mayweather's not gonna win. I'm just as fast as he is and I'm stronger than he is. My arms are longer than he is. I can hit him before he hits me. This is a real fight; he knows this too," stated WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley in the latest episode of 24/7 Mayweather/Mosley. Just 21 days before the bout and both fighters are deep into their training camps and focused on the bout. Check out what else Mosley had to say about Mayweather, the USADA testing procedures, the upcoming clash and more.
On Floyd Mayweather...
He's backed into a corner. He wants to belive that he's the best. He keeps saying he's the best. You know, he runs his mouth and says, "I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best in history." At some point, you have to back that up.
On USADA after they mades their 3rd visit in 10 days to Mosley's camp Big Bear...
USADA came down and wanted to collect a blood sample and urine, so I guess this is the process you gotta go through...I can do it every day if they want to. I can see how it can bother other fighters, but it doesn't bother me because it's just something that's supposed to be done and something that needs to be done for the sport.
You know, it gives me motivation for the public, I guess, because it's been perceived and personified that I was this type of drug user or whatever as far as steroids and performance-enhancing; like that's what my career was built on and that's not the case.
On the upcoming bout...
I know Mayweather, you know, I know how he is. You can do whatever you wanna do, just show up May 1st. I have no problem with you, just show up May 1st and we can do it from here. We'll start talking from the hands.
I'm not boxing right now because I want to get a paycheck. I'm fighting right now because everybody is saying that these other guys are better than me and I don't believe that and I want to show the world that I'm the best.
