Mosley wants Hatton or Pacquiao…then Cotto

Published by R under Fighters Edit This

Fresh from his comprehensive dismantling of now disgraced Antonio Margarito in January, Sugar Shane Mosley has now turned his attention to the winner of the May super fight between Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao.

Following this clash, Mosley has his sights set on a rematch with Miguel Cotto, whom he lost a unanimous decision to in 2007.

Whether Hatton would again look to mount a challenge on the Welterweight division is unclear and it is highly unlikely that Mosley would venture down to Light Welter, which would be his lowest weight in ten years, since defeating John Brown in an IBF Lightweight title fight in 1999.

Pacquiao however, will still be buoyed by his victory over Oscar De La Hoy at 147lbs and may well fancy the clash with Mosley.

Sugar Shane has become a hot property in boxing once again and even the aforementioned De La Hoya has expressed an interest in fighting the WBA Welterweight champion.

De La Hoya, widely expected to retire after his brutal defeat to Manny Pacquiao has said he would be game for completing the trilogy against Sugar, and attempting to avenge his two controversial losses in 2000 and 2003. The former, being De La Hoya’s first professional defeat.

I’ll keep you posted!
