Nothing in all of sports beats a great boxing match. It's the ultimate challenge, two men matching their skills and wits. Where one mistake can leave one of them staring up at the ring lights wondering what the hell just happened.
Tomorrow (May 1) in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Floyd Mayweather Jr and Sugar Shane Mosley meet in a match that will determine who is the best fighter in the world today not named Manny Pacquiao.
Both fighters have already made history by agreeing to Olympic Style drug testing leading up to the fight.
"I brought USADA in to keep the sport on an even playing field. Everyone knows this is done for the betterment of the sport," says Mayweather. "After I get blood taken, I'll go in and box 12 or 13 rounds, no problem whatsoever."
Floyd will make a reported $40 million while Shane will take home $7 million for a fight that's expected to shatter all previous Pay-Per-View records.
Both fighters are confident going into the match. Floyd is the clear favorite and sees Shane as "just another victim", but that doesn't bother Shane at all.
"At this point it doesn't even bother me," he said. "They were picking (Antonio) Margarito to win, too, by a landslide, and people were talking about my health, that he was going to retire me.
"I'm telling you guys, (Mayweather's) not going to beat me."
All the talking is done now. As Michael Buffer would say, "Let's get ready to rumble!"
