Shane Mosley discussed at length many topics ranging from steroids, mind games, sparring and much more.  Read on to hear what the champ had to say.

Q:     

You mentioned that Karl Dargan and Rock, that you're sparring with them.  They've been a little bit inactive lately, but I was just curious of your impressions of them as they're both Naazimm's relatives obviously, son and nephew.

In one of Floyd Mayweather’s recent monologues on HBO’s 24/7 he made the bold statement that he is better than Muhammed Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson.  While this hypotheses can obviously never be truly tested, it hasn’t stopped Bob Arum from making an equally bold statement about his fighter, Manny Pacquiao.

In a recent profile of Manny Pacquiao in GQ magazine, Bob Arum was quoted as saying,  "I used to say that Ali was the best I'd ever seen.  I had never said that about another man. I don't use those words cheaply. But here it is: Manny Pacquiao is the best I have ever seen, including Ali. I have never seen the combination of this incredible speed, this crippling punching power, and the concentration he has in the ring. Nobody has. No one has ever moved the way he does.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Nobody could deny Sergio Martinez the victory this time.

The junior middleweight champion dominated the final five rounds Saturday night, winning a bloody and impressive unanimous decision over Kelly Pavlik to claim the WBO and WBC middleweight belts at Boardwalk Hall.

Martinez (45-2-2) moved up to 160 pounds to challenge Pavlik, who had never been defeated at his natural weight. The 35-year-old from Argentina put on marvelous display of speed and footwork, though, rallying from a questionable knockdown in the seventh round to batter and frustrate the pride of Youngstown, Ohio.
