"Mosley's Return To 147, On Hopkins-Eastman Undercard In Discussion!
By G. Leon

December 29, 2004 - **********.com has been informed that talks are underway and looking good for "Sugar" Shane Mosley to return to the ring (and the welterweight divsion) on February 19, vs the ever dangerous TBA (in a comeback fight) as the televised co-feature to undisputed middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins twentieth defense against mandatory challenger Howard Eastman. HBO's February 19 date is being promoted by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions. Although Mosley may wind up inking with GBP at the end of the day, we can assure you no promotional agreement between GBP and the former three division kingpin has been solidified as this goes to print. Earlier today BT reported that Hopkins-Eastman is headed to Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. GBP probably feels that the addition of the Mosley (a California native) is a perfect fit for the show. Neither Golden Boy Promotions, nor the Mosley's were available for immediate comment, but we will keep you updated so stay tuned.REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST! (8:20 PM ET)"- Boxing talk.net

I like the "Ever dangerous TBA" part. I haven't been hyped about a Mosley fight since the Forrest destruction. I am glad to see Jack Mosley out of the picture. I think he needed a new trainer. Good find.

Shane is full of ****. He was saying the whole time that theirs noway he could make 147 and now all of a sudden he can do it in March after he just had a fight a couple of months ago

I agree, DLT, he is full of it..
But it makes sense, though, the only people he can actually beat and remake a name for himself are at that division..

I have absolutley no interest in seeing him fight again. Although if he can go down a weight class and dominate like before that may change

I think shane can make 147. Its only 10 or so punds. Besides he was a much better fighter at the lower weight classes
