After the disintegration of the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight, Sugar Shane Mosley has stepped in to fill the void.  The new Mayweather-Mosley contest is clearly a let down after what would have been the biggest fight in years, and presumably boxing's richest.  Nevertheless, it is another opportunity to see the undefeated Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) fight.  Mayweather's fight style is not exactly fan-friendly, but he is of the smartest pugilists around, using his lightning quick speed to land punches, and rarely getting hit in the process.  His defensive skills are just as good as his offense--the reason he remains undefeated.

Mosley (46-5, 1 NC, 39 KOs) is more of a knockout puncher but will certainly be overmatched in Vegas on May 1st.  For boxing fans, this remains a must-see bout despite the massive disappointment that followed the collapse of the Pacquiao superfight.

So how do you try to get the public excited about the consolation match?  A pre-fight scuffle of course.  The time-honored tradition of yelling, shoving, and occasionally punching your opponent during the press conference continues.  Anything to sell tickets.  Check out Mayweather and Mosley here.  I don't think there is much going on, other than the ruffling of Brioni suits and the making of plans to meet up for steak at the Bellagio.
