“SSM: I always wanted to be the best. Beating him will put me to where I wanna be placed in my career. That’s why, I’ll beat Floyd, then hopefully Manny will fight me.
Duljoman: Shane I also read Mike Marley’s story from Examiner.com that if Oscar thinks that Manny is dirty, might as well he should refuse the blood money from Manny’s fight.
SSM: It is Oscar, I didn’t talk to him about this. For me, I’ll follow if there is a live contract. But I can’t talk on behalf of Oscar.” --Mosley in Philboxing.com interview with scribe Anthony "Duljoman" Andales.
Sugar Shane Mosley is a throwback fighter.
Really, he is because if Mosley has haters, they must convene in a small closet.
While the Pacquiao Worldwide Army (PWA) is engaged in daily Internet combat with the notorious Mayweather Mafia, Mosley and his many followers lay in the cut.
Mosley and his fans play the role of always neutral Switzerland as the bombs and bullets fly.
I like Mosley, you like Mosley, everybody except L'il Floyd likes the boxer from Pomona.
Mosley is the guy who put “amicable” into the strange expression, “amicable divorce.”
He may have green eyes but there seems to be nothing of the green-eyed monster, meaning jealously, in his emotional makeup.
But now some harder questions are coming Mosley's way in his curious dual role as a boxing superstar and “a suit,” a vice president even, at Golden Boy Promotions.
With Golden Boy taking 20-25 percent of Manny Pacquiao money (I'm not sure if it just comes out of the Top Rank end or of both Arum and Pacman funds), isn't Mosley just as hypocritical for claiming such “blood money” if he joins Boss Oscar in believing that Manny is a drug cheater?
The obvious answer is “yes” and the obvious observation is that, in his answer to Andales which references my Examiner.com and Boxingconfidential column on the touchy subject, Mosley is simply passing the buck so to speak.
It's a hot potato this issue is and you can see from Mosley's answer is that he wants no part of the controversy.
Unless and until he comes out and states specifically that he personally believes that Pacman has been pilloried without proof, then I hereby declare Shane Mosley, nice guy, hail fellow well met and all that warm and cuddly stuff, an enemy of the state of Pacland.
Stand up on your own two feet, Shane.
You're nearing age 40, you're way past the age of majority.
Stand up and be counted now or forever hold your peace.
We know where your bread is buttered but you've got an independent streak. I don't see you as Oscar's cabana boy.
Be like Bernard Hopkins, your fellow GBP VP who speaks his mind on all issues.
Bhop plays the toady for nobody. His mind is not stuck in any mental penitentiary.
He looks out for Number One and his family.
You want a Pacquiao fight, you know what you've got to do. Unfortunately, your burden will be to beat Mayweather not once but twice with the rematch clause you never should've agreed to.
You could grease the wheels for such a fight by making your position clear now even before Pacman climbs into the ring to fight Joshua Clottey.
Your boss and his acolytes, Mayweather and his minions, they have all splattered Pacquiao with drug cheating mud.
Do you stand with them on this or do you stand tall?
It's your position, sworn to under oath in federal court, that YOU only dabbled in PEDs uniwttingly, that you were completely unaware at the time that the BALCO boxes were full of illegal substances.
You should certainly have extra empathy for a falsely accused Pacquiao.
You can stand up or you can roll over, Shane.
No one's asking for Oscar's views. He's smothered Pacquiao with dirt and grime.
He's gone schoolyard with his infantile, "na, na, na, na...then take the test Manny, whacha ya hiding?" rap.
Speak for yourself, Shane.
Your silence lumps you in with all the rest of them.
Speak up, Shane, I can't hear you.
