Who can Shane Mosley fight now? Forget Pacquiao and Cotto

It would be kind to say that Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KO’s) has underperformed in his last two fights. Mosley, 39, lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr. by a 12 round decision in May, and then on September 18th, Mosley fought to a boring 12 round draw with Sergio Mora. That was one of the dullest fights I’ve seen in quite some time, and Mosley looked slow, lethargic and old. Bob Arum, the head of Top Rank, isn’t interesting in matching Mosley up with his fighters Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto.

Those are the fighters that Mosley wants to fight. However, he hasn’t done himself any favors by looking so poor in both of his last two fights. Mosley did nothing after the 2nd round in the Mayweather bout. I can understand Mosley losing to Mayweather, but not looking so bad for the last 10 rounds of the fight. Mosley looked totally shot, and he continued to look that way against Mora. Luckily for him, Mora chose to move all night long instead of opening up on Mosley.

Unless Mosley is interested in fighting someone like Joshua Clottey, who Arum was willing to match against Mosley in the past, he probably can forget about fighting any of Top Ranks stable of fighters. Mosley needs to downsize his desire to fight big named opponents, because he hasn’t looked entertaining enough in his last two fights to lure any of the other popular fighters in taking him on.
Below I’ve listed potential opponents for Mosley:

Saul Alvarez
Andre Berto
Mike Jones
Kermit Cintron
Alfredo Angulo
Vanes Martirosyan

In the meantime crave no more to watch Pacquiao vs Margarito Fight since it is weeks from reality.

Sugar Shane Mosley's Career Highlights

Shane Mosley is just a good and Great fighter coming to fight the unbeaten Mayweather who talks too much about his greatness. Shane with total fights of 52: Wins 46, Wins by KO 39, Losses 5, No contests 1 will try his skills to outshine the fighter in the being of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mosley started a good career fight in defeating Oscar Dela Hoya with a split decision victory in their June 17, 2000 fight. This brawl was shined as his first signature fight and continued in beating Dela Hoya once again in their second fight that happened September 13, 2003 now with a unanimous decision victory.

Then he had also faced the bigger Wright whom in the early rounds already slaughtered the smaller Shane Mosley. Shane is never comfortable fighting the bigger and more physical Wright ending for the latter to win in a unanimous decision.

Mosley’s fights with Vargas added a great record for him to be called as an elite fighter on his prime. Until such time he emerged to fight the undefeated Miguel Cotto and lost in a unanimous decision.

Watch the video below to see Sugar Shane Mosley on his quest to regain respect on his legacy as an elite fighter fighting whoever comes on his way. This Mayweather vs Mosley Fight happening on the May 1st this 2010 will once more test his ever skilled boxing career.
