Roger Mayweather, the uncle and trainer for boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr., correctly pointed out that unless Manny Pacquiao can get by his next fight against 39-year-old Shane Mosley on May 7th, there won’t be a future fight between Pacquiao and his nephew Floyd Jr. In an interview with **********boxingradio program, Roger said “If Shane Mosley beats Pacquiao, then we aint even tot to worry about that”, [referring to a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao.]
Pacquiao would then effectively have been exposed and eliminated by Mosley, and the fight that we would then be seeing is a rematch between Mosley and Mayweather with, of course, the full random blood testing being done leading up to the fight. Mosley had no problems with taking the blood testing last year when he fought Mayweather, and it’s doubtful that anything would change in a rematch.
Roger believes that Mosley will beat Pacquiao, having this belief because Roger feels that part of what makes Pacquiao so good is that he fights guys at catch weights, which he feels helps Pacquiao get an advantage. The Mosley-Pacquiao fight won’t be held at a catch weight, so anything can happen in this fight. We may see a major upset if Mosley isn’t weakened and is able to come into the fight at full strength.
