Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought his first professional bout on October 11, 1996 against fellow newcomer Roberto Apodaca who was knocked out in round 2. Mayweather's trainer at the time was his uncle, Roger Mayweather, because Floyd Mayweather, Sr. was still imprisoned after having been convicted of illegal drug trafficking in 1993. Mayweather, Sr. took over as Mayweather, Jr.'s trainer when he was released from prison (after Mayweather, Jr.'s fourteenth fight—a second-round knockout of Sam Girard). From 1996 to early 1998, Mayweather won most of his fights by knockout or TKO. Sugar Shane Mosley started his pro career in 1993, By 2000 he had fought 38 fights to a 38–0 (36KOs) record, beating undefeated Phillip Holiday to win the IBF Lightweight title. He made 9 title defenses but never unified belts and moved up 2 divisions to face Oscar De La Hoya for his Welterweight title.[wikipedia] Fight Story:After the much awaited Mayweather Jr Vs Pacquiao Megafight was called off, Mayweather was left blank on the boxing scene. Pacquiao went on and signed another Boxing deal with Huge welterweight Joshua Clottey. Mayweather Jr. did instead was to continue on attacking negative press releases(without evidences, even went very dumb low talking about fake email) on the Pacquiao camp. Mayweather Jr. noted for ducking fighters in his own weight class, kept on talking that he was "the real deal" but instead went on to challenge a no brainer Pauli Malinaggi. Boxing fans went furious, in response Mayweather Jr. called the even more "SMALLER" Vic Darchinyan. Now Money Jr. was instead calling "SMALL" fighters Lightweight going down to Featherweight. Everything became very clear and obvious that Money Jr was just looking for sure win fights. His No loss record was his pay-per-view quality, and in his mind loosing might degrade his money making schemes. Boxing community instead lost their respect, thus Mayweather Jr loosing his PPV. Golden Boy Productions now very concern on the Pacquiao Vs Clottey event, has to make a noise in response to this. In a "VERY EXPECTED PLOT", GB Productions announced a fight between Mayweather and Mosley. After the Mosley Vs Berto fight was called off. Andre Berto lost some relatives from the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti (Berto's family was ok, thank God). The Boxing world just hopes that this fight will realize, and not another hocus-pocus "marketing strategy" just to put down another great fight.FREE MMA TV. UFC & STRIKEFORCE FIGHT VIDEOS.
