Mosley targets Pacquiao's scalp!

Reigning welterweight champion Sugar Shane Mosley wants to clean out the division, including Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao.

In a telephone interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer Thursday, Mosley reiterated his readiness to brawl with the world’s pound-for-pound king.

And when that happens, the 37-year-old American said Pacquiao will surely be in for a tough night. He said he is bigger, stronger and a more determined fighter.


“I’m a whole different specimen,” said Mosley. “I’m kinda like a Pacquiao but in a bigger form.”

Pacquiao is set to challenge British superstar Ricky Hatton on May 2 in Las Vegas while Mosley is still relishing his recent success after dethroning Mexican Antonio Margarito.

Mosley (46-5 with 39 KOs) said he is still four or five years away from retirement and that his recent wins prove he still has what it takes to rule the sport.

“I’m looking to clean out the whole welterweight division,” said Mosley, who also stopped former champion Ricrado Mayorga last September. “Everyone in my way I’m looking to clean out. I’m going to be the king of 147 and remain there for a while.”

Why do I have a feeling that this is not Mosley saying any of that, its some press release by some Golden Boy exec. When everyone knows that they have absolutely no intention of cleaning anything out but more like pitting Shane against any guy that'll get them the most money.

Mosley is nothing like Pacquiao in a bigger form. What a crock.

Pac shouldn't go higher than 140 anyway.

they have alot of similiarities like good punch, speed, durability, etc.... but pac is awkward and southpaw where as mosley is orthodox and more readable.

Do you ever post any articles not written in the Philippines?

Their journalistic standard makes the users in NSB seem like the Bert Sugar's of the world.

pac would be crazy to take this. IMO mosley will take aprt pac with his power the way he did against marg. good fight though in the end pac and mosley

I never would have thought of making a comparison. Interesting.
