Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not holding back any punches.  In a radio interview this weekend, Mayweather said that he did not believe Manny Pacquiao could accomplish things in sensational fashion without the aid of illegal drugs.

The two were supposed to have met in the ring in March.  Mayweather's camp demanded Olympic style drug testing.  Pacquiao refused.  As a result, the much anticipated Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight was scrapped.  Pacquiao takes on Joshua Clottey on March 13 instead.  Oddsmakers as Sportsbetting.com have made Pacquiao a huge -450 favorite, suggesting strongly the lopsided nature of this fight.  Pacquiao had been a +130 underdog going up against Mayweather.

Mayweather vs. Mosley Fight odds will be most in demand come show time May 1.  Here Mosley has shorter odds than Pacquiao had going up against Mayweather.  Mosley was listed as the even odds underdog with Mayweather at -130.

Speaking of Pacquiao during the radio interview, Mayweather said:  "In a fighter's career, a fighter starts off good and he's good until the end of his career or a fighter starts off good and then goes downhill towards the end of his career.

"A fighter doesn't start like Manny Pacquiao, just ordinary, and then once he gets over 25 (years old) he becomes an extraordinary fighter. It doesn't work like that in this sport of boxing."

Mosley agreed to submit to the rigorous drug testing proposed by Mayweather's camp.
