"I am able to generate millions of dollars. They say Shane is the WBA Champion, but we all know that belts do nothing but collect dust.
"You can hate it or love it, but this is a God given ability. I am taking these skills and showing the world that I am going to entertain.
"There's always an excuse. If I beat someone, they say he's over the hill. If I beat someone else, they say he is too slow. I can just be me and be the best.
"There is nothing cool about taking punishment. There is nothing cool about getting hit in the head. There is no blue print to beat me, and that is all that matters. You can't judge a person before you know a person. I am just like every body else. I go home I love my children, I love my mother, but I also have a gift."
Mosley added: "May 1 symbolizes something. After this fight, it is going to be clear. It is going to be the date of Mayweather's first loss. It has been a long time since I have had a chance to show the world that I am the best fighter. I have wanted to be the best and have people understand that I am the best.
"I just want to say I am going to take my hat off to Mayweather. For a minute I wasn't going to get a fight from any of these top fighters and now I will. I would like to say that it is going down May 1 and it is going to be me and Money Mayweather."
Mayweather is absolutely right about the old, slow, etc. comment. Bunch of guys saying "Mosley looks his age tonight, blah blah blah." I'm not a Mayweather fan.... I mostly just don't care. But this is more accurate:
Every once in a while, a guy comes along who makes everybody else look stupid. That's Mayweather. EVERYBODY he fights winds up looking bad.
