"The only way a fight can be made with Mayweather is if he signs the contract, terms are already agreed upon, and lets extraneous issues be handled by the boxing commission who has the authority to handle those issues ... Stupid..."


Bob Arum Mar 19 2010 5:34 AM from Queensberry Rules

"If you know me, then you know I always get up for big fights"


Shane Mosley Mar 16 2010 6:53 AM from Southern CA Press-Enterprise

"It comes down to who has the better skills"


Shane Mosley Mar 16 2010 6:53 AM from Southern CA Press-Enterprise

"Most people think I'm just a strong puncher and a brawler"


Shane Mosley Mar 16 2010 6:53 AM from Southern CA Press-Enterprise

"I'm just happy to be a part of Manny Pacquiao's life"


Freddie Roach Mar 15 2010 4:30 PM from The Shreveport Times

"He's probably going to win the election ... But that's all right because if their congress is anything like ours, they don't do anything anyway."


Bob Arum Mar 15 2010 4:30 PM from The Shreveport Times

"Manny Pacquiao is beating everybody ... He's knocking them out. I have to do what I can and I think I did my best."


Joshua Clottey Mar 15 2010 4:30 PM from The Shreveport Times

"That was a stupid mistake I made by playing Neville Chamberlain and negotiating this issue ... You don't negotiate. You don't appease. Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler on Munich and look what happened."

"I'm disappointed [in Clottey] ... He's fighting for the title and he fought like he didn't want to win it."
