MANILA, Philippines – Undefeated American fighter Floyd Mayweather, Jr. said he is not anxious about preserving his unblemished win-loss record against countryman Shane Mosley, with less than a week before they battle it out on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“Of course it's a great thing to be undefeated… But I don't consciously think about it when I'm preparing for the next fight,” he said in a Las Vegas Review-Journal (LVRJ) article by Steve Carp.
Mayweather, who has a 40-0 record (with 25 knockouts), said his perspective on maintaining his record is different.
“I don't think about the 0,” he noted. “I think about winning. Everything takes care of itself if you win.”
However, his father, Floyd Mayweather, Sr., thought otherwise.
“No one wants to lose their 0. I'm sure he thinks about it, and it motivates him. Fortunately for my son, it's so far, so good, and I don't see anyone taking that 0 away from him,” Floyd Sr. said.
Reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight super champion Mosley, who has 46 wins (with 39 KOs) and 5 defeats, vowed to hand Mayweather his first career loss.

PUERTO PRINCESA, Philippines – The North team – small but quick - outran, outhustled and outgunned the South squad to score a 133-130 win in the 2010 PBA All-Star Game at the Puerto Princesa Coliseum here last night.
Gabe Norwood best typified the effort shown by his team, putting in 17 points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block as he bagged the Handy Fix All-Star Game MVP.
The flamboyant Fil-Am guard-forward went on a dunking spree as the North team outplayed the South at the finish, coming out victorious in the fun, exciting and thrilling match watched by a sellout crowd.
Macmac Cardona, Arwind Santos, Ranidel de Ocampo, Willie Miller and JC Intal also scored in double figures for the North All Stars who avenged their loss in Bacolod in 2008.
“We used our quickness to the hilt. Knowing they have extreme height advantage, the only way to win is to push the ball and score on fast break. Luckily, the effort was enough,” said North coach Ryan Gregorio.
