“…Always look on the bright side of life.”
“When you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give a whistle, and this’ll help things turn out for the best.”
That seems to be the attitude around boxing’s biggest fights at present.
Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, insisted to Telegraph Sport today that in spite of the Flody Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao superfight crumpling before the world’s eyes, there is much to look forward to in a packed season of fights to the end of May. One suspects he hopes that Pacquiao will also be on the horizon as an opponent late in the year. What he does have, of course, is the fact that it is would make sense for the winner of Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather, on May 1, in Las Vegas, to face Pacquiao. Either man would be a viable opponent.
“It is shaping up as quite a year. You don’t always get what you want right away. It might not happen today, but it could all change tomorrow… but I am still optimistic that this fight could come by Christmas… (Schaefer was alluding to Pacquiao-Mayweather/Mosley)
“At Golden Boy, we always said we are commited to showing the best fights… whether that be a fight between Mosley and Pacquiao or Mayweather and Pacquiao, and if they do not happen, it is not the end of the world as some people are making out. There are always big match-ups and great fights out there.”
Schaefer believes Mosley “is a very dangerous fight” for Mayweather, but admits that ‘Pretty Boy’ “always finds a way to win”.
I can’t see Mosley defeating Mayweather. In spite of Mosley’s great performances of late, Mayweather will be one step ahead the entire time, and should win it comfortably on points.
