Mayweather on Mosley: What? Me, worry?

MANILA, Philippines – Outspoken American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has acknowledged that his opponent Shane Mosley is a talented boxer, but the former pound-for-pound king considers himself gifted.

In a report posted on LATimes.com, Mayweather said he is not worried by Mosley’s abilities inside the ring.

"Nothing bothers me. I got nothing to worry about. There's a way to beat him. He wants to rush me? He'll get clipped," he told LATimes.com‘s Lance Pugmire.

He even made fun of Mosley, the reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight champ.

"[He] punches with his eyes closed," said Mayweather, adding that his opponent is distracted by divorce proceedings and has been acting differently, citing Mosley's new arm tattoo and "nose job."

"Shane's talented. I'm gifted," said the boxer, who is considered as the best next opponent for Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao.

‘Shane is Floyd’s toughest fight’
Mayweather’s handlers, however, have a different view of Mosley.

"This guy's bigger than [Juan Manuel] Marquez, was a good amateur like Floyd, has good hand speed and power," said Mawyeather’s trainer and uncle Roger Mayweather.

"I still say [if] we get him in the middle of the ring, we'll get him. There ain't a more skilled fighter in the middle of the ring than my nephew. But Mosley is among the elite my nephew's ever faced… probably the No. 1 guy as far as skill level," he added.

Mosley won the WBA crown by pummeling Antonio Margarito in January 2009. Last September, Mosley stepped into the ring and called for Mayweather after the latter’s lopsided win over Marquez.

"He's fighting one of the best fighters out there, and knows he has to be in the shape of his life," Mayweather’s assistant trainer Nate Jones said.
