Last night we had a chance to chop it up with Floyd Mayweather Sr. and get his candid opinion on his son’s upcoming mega-fight with Shane Mosley. Floyd Sr. was in rare form as he assessed why Shane’s skills won’t be sharp enough to match his son’s when they step into the ring. Floyd Sr. took the time to give us his view on how Floyd Jr. would stand up to some of the all-time great welterweights in boxing history, and you might be surprised to hear some of his predictions. Poppa Mayweather also touched on why his son has been branded the villain by the boxing media, and how good Little Floyd could look today if his daddy was still training him, and his thoughts on a potential Mayweather vs. Pacquiao bout. It was a great interview and got us even more hyped to see what pops off when Floyd and Shane collide tomorrow night!

We’d like to give a special shout out to Snoop for sitting in on the interview and providing some great questions.

I think Floyd is going to be in for the toughest fight of his life. Shane is bigger than Floyd, has knockout power, and an iron chin. This fight will be much more difficult than the fight with Pacman . I know a lot of people were yapping about Floyd being scared of Manny, but I think this fight should silence all that garbage. I think Floyd can pull it out, but he's going to have to box the best fight of his career. Spotted over @ smartenupnas.
