Drug alert, drug alert.
Time for an emergency intervention. Ruin or rehab, that?s the only choice here.
Take the first big step, how hard can the next 11 be? Forget the line about rehab being for quitters.
I feel it is incumbent on me to notify Oscar De La Hoya, the Juan Manuel Marquez paid shill and his friends, family and employees, that a respected and loved one is clearly on drugs.
You?d have to be a dope not to realize that somebody has injected two time Oscar beater and now Golden Boy Promotions VP Sugar Shane Mosley has been loaded up with sodium pentathol.
What a relief, knowing that His Sugarship is not doing the BALCO shuffle, not messing again with the clear and/or the cream as prescribed by former Tower Of Power hornblower, ?Doctor? Victor Conte. Those stupid calendars were a bother.
No, this time it?s readily apparent that Mosley, itching for a nagging wife free big payday (he divorced Jin in January just before he tattooed Antonio Margocheato), has been given the tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but needle.
This is part of the free-speaking Mosley?no Golden corportar muzzle for the Pomona Kid?said to writer Ernest Gabion on Boxingscene:
“Mayweather doesn’t want to fight the best in spite of what he says. He is talking lip service; nothing more. I almost go to a point where I wouldn’t call him out anymore but let’s be honest.
?He says these things to steal the money off the fans he might as well admit it and say he came back simply for the money because he lost it all.
“He needs money he blew it all and needs to comeback. Maybe it was the way he was brought up thinking it’s okay to burn through money.
?It’s a shame with the talent he has wasting his time not fighting the best. Don’t get me wrong I think Marquez will make this a fight considering how well he landed on a tougher fighter like Pacquiao but Mayweather seems content on fighting a lightweight rather than the best in his own division.?
To tell the truth without getting needled, I just laid back and enjoyed this Trip To Reality by Mr. Mosley.
Maybe some Mayweather Mafia soldiers can’t handle the truth. To them, I say, ” A tisket, a tasket, a red and yellow casket.” Your Godfather has feet of clay.
Mosley is like the great Elvis Costello in “Red Shoes,” saying, “I used to be disgusted but now I try to be amused.” Mayweather’s secrets, as Costello would say “Profane & Sugarcane,” are not secrets any longer.
If these were bodypunches thrown full steam, Pretty Boy Floyd would be laying on the ring deck Ricky Hatton style right about now.
In effect, Mosley says that what Golden Honcho Richard Schaefer says is poppycock, that it is Pacman and not Mayweather who is the P4P king at the current time. To his competitive credit, that?s why, plus the money, that Shane wants to engage Pacman.
In his second, equally fierce salvo, Mosley labels PBF a brazen thief out there looting PPV TV dollars as a welterweight figting a Mexican midget.
In his third combo, Mosley mixes it up to the head, to the ribs and to the shallow pockets of tax bill plagued Money Must Pay.
Mosley says straight out that it?s his financial disaster that?s brought Mayweather back to the ring.
At this point, I say stop the fight, Mosley wins by TKO.
In just a few, well-chosen sentences, Mosley has completely laid Mayweather like a stiff in a funeral parlor.
Good manners prevented ESPN barker Brian Kenny from being so vicious, I guess.
There are many false prophets within the cocooned walls of Golden Boy.
Freebird Shane Mosley cannot be caged or silenced.
I guess he?s the GBP VP in charge of Speaking the Absolute Truth.
Good for him.
But Shane better be careful.
Loose but real talk like this, well sometimes it can provoke someone into an actual fight.
