"Sugar" Shane prepared to join the junior welterweight division for the first time.
Shane Mosley, the WBA 147-pound champ today stated that he is ready and willing to drop down to 140 pounds to make a fight with champion Manny Pacquiao.
"There is unfinished business to take care of. I have never fought at junior welterweight, but I'm ready to fight at 140 now," said Mosley. "I am coming after Pacquiao's belt."
"This is the fight the fans want and I'm prepared to give it to them. It's up to Bob Arum and Manny Pacquiao to stop running from me and step up to the challenge. Let's meet in the ring at 140."
In 2000, Shane Mosley relinquished his lightweight title to move directly to welterweight, skipping the junior welterweight division to take on Oscar De La Hoya for the first of their two bouts in Los Angeles, where Mosley would go on to win an exciting decision win.
Now with a major matchup with Manny Pacquiao on his sights, Mosley is looking to enter junior welterweight for the first time.
Mosley has been inactive since January after he knocked out Antonio Margarito for the WBA welterweight crown at the Staples Center but wants the two biggest names in the sport.
"First Pacquiao, then Mayweather - I'm ready to put all of the naysayers to rest. "
