Bold Predictions in Breaking That Timex of Silence: Can Mosley Really Beat Mayweather, Jr.? By Granville Ampong PhilBoxing.com Sat, 01 May 2010  Unless Mayweather plays dirty that which he would not and unless Mayweather chooses to engage a toe-to-toe battle that which he would not, the best decision Mosley could get over the "boxing scientist" from the board of judges and from referee Kenny Bayless would be a DRAW or a DISQUALIFICATION, which borders to almost zero probability. SIDE BAR EXCLUSIVE FOR PHILBOXING.COM: LAS VEGAS, Nevada - Sugar Shane Mosley (46-5-0) will try to debunk, if not nullify, Floyd Mayweather ,Jr.'s story of a "boxing scientist" and put an end to his undefeated professional record of 40 wins, inclusive of 25 knockouts, this Saturday, May 1, at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, live on HBO Pay-per-View telecast, beginning at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time/6:00 p.m. Pacific Time. But, it's not going to be easy for Mosley. Mayweather, 33, has transformed himself into a ring master whose schemes and bad intentions, each chance he timely counter-attacks and surgically targets his foe, whisper of infinite possibilities to win, at least against retirable Mosley, 38, whose battery-operated Timex quartz may have just been low at reading. Nevertheless,the best of Mosley may not be seen anymore in the ring of madness than just unwarranted aggression to force Mayweather, Jr. on a toe-to-toe combat. His stinging left hand, though unorthodox contrary to what he claims himself to be, that stunned Fernando Vargas twice by knockout in a devastating fashion in 2006, has diminished its tonicity and may need something more than just training and unlimited salad refills at the Olive Garden- guaranteed as chlorophyll-rich to boost oxygen transport for power, almost of equal potency as with Procrit(Epoetin alfa), that man-made form of a protein that helps one's body produce red blood cells, that he once had - all to compete the speed of Mayweather, Jr. and the latter's "DANCING WITH THE STARS" antics. For therapeutic and experimental purposes, Mosley might need Mestinon, a prescription medicine for an auto-immune neuro-muscular disease called Myasthenia Gravis, which may help improve his voluntary muscles to quickly respond during his fight or flight encounters in the ring, only if well-managed at a series of controlled dosages, according to a neurologist who discloses this golden tip on the condition of anonymity. He said Mosley's reflexes can become faster and may be faster enough to equal the speed of Mayweather, Jr., intimating that he is slower than the latter by two seconds or more. Mestinon, he said, also gives one a momentary freedom from fatigue. But, the problem is that such agent can be classified as a stimulant, for this purpose, and should be listed as one of the prohibited performance enhancement drugs, if it is still unrecognized by the Athletic Commissions across the U.S. and so as by the U.S. Anti-doping Agency. ADVISE FOR MOSLEY: Find the #1 food you should eat to boost your reflexes and enjoy it before you break your Timex on an impending crash on fight night, and maybe, just maybe, Laura Bush can help you break that Timex from silence, which she did on her latest book "Spoken From The Heart", of frustration as you chase Mayweather around, hopelessly, within that 20 x 20 feet canvas of madness. Hm...enough for that! Mosley can do better, for sure, on Mother's day. Well, unlike the 2010 Kentucky Derby favorite, Eskendereya, who is out with leg issue, Mosley can chase Mayweather, Jr. all night long, knowing the availability of 'Iron Man 2' toys at Burger King. Yes,it's going to be a long night chasing for nothing, except that he'll just get hit a lot at almost every opening he makes when he throws his punches. If one were to assess Mosley's power when he fought against Antonio Margarito, an impressive trail would be seen. But, Margarito was simply out of focus during which time he got caught of using illegal wraps just before he first attempted to enter the ring on that fight night with Mosley. Margarito blew up his mind trying to compensate what was lost: the power of such illegal wraps. On the other hand, not to undercut his determination, Mosley's knockout win over Mayorga in the twelfth was not that impressive either. Judge Pat Russell scored 104-105 in favor of Mayorga even at the time of the stoppage, and Judge Nelson Vazquez scored it close, 105-104, to his favor. Ironically, a less popular judge, Tony Crebs, had it, in fact, wildly to his favor, 107-102. So what is more of Mosley? Margarito and Mayorga are only at B minus level compared to Mayweather,Jr.'s power, speed and ring intelligence. Unless Mayweather plays dirty that which he would not and unless Mayweather chooses to engage a toe-to-toe battle that which he would not, the best decision Mosley could get over the "boxing scientist" from the board of judges and from referee Kenny Bayless would be a DRAW or a DISQUALIFICATION, which borders to almost zero probability. Meanwhile, among the prospects of the welterweight division, Mosley, Mayweather, Marquez, Margarito, Mayorga, Malinaggi and Morales (whose comeback fight is at welterweight) - all these M's, only one smaller man, the new "AMERICAN IDOL" who has the eyes of Bruce Lee, could bolt upon their might as their common exponential denominator, that is Pound-for-Pound King Manny Pacquiao, whose new light in the realm of Philippine politics has bought him a promising brand to his name: Congressman Emmanuel D. Pacquiao. Conversely, Mosley definitely wants a shot against Pacquiao more than what he dreams of against Mayweather, Jr. Nonetheless, that chance may happen only after a Pacquiao-Margarito Fight at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium before the close of this year, regardless as to whether he wins over Mayweather, Jr. tomorrow night. But, as for this sundown of Black Sabbath, who are you picking?
