Two of the best pound for pound fighters in the world have finally agreed to settle their differences in the ring.
ESPN announced via their Twitter page that Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr and "Sugar" Shane Mosley will fight May 1.
This has all the makings of a great bout. Shane is quick enough to give Floyd problems and packs a strong enough punch to hurt him if he makes a mistake on defense.
For Floyd it's an opportunity to put the rest the tag he dodges dangerous opponents. His great defense and hand speed will pose a big problem for Shane.
Both fighters are coming off of impressive wins. Floyd easily defeated Juan Manuel Marquez by unanimous decision last September.
While Mosely totally destroyed Antonio Margarito last January. Knocking him out in the 9th round to claim the WBA Championship belt.
The fight will be shown on HBO PPV. Expect it to do brisk sales both at the gate and home buys.
Sports website Covers is reporting oddsmakers have already set odds for the fight, pricing Mayweather as a -215 favorite while Mosley is listed at +175.
