Place Paul Williams on the list of names that Shane Mosley has no interest in fighting. Mosley seems to be sticking to his guns. He only has three names on his list - and the three potential targets are Ricky Hatton, Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. He would probably fight Floyd Mayweather Jr - if Floyd decides to make an official return to the ring. Last week, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer revealed that Mosley had absolutely no interest in fighting WBC champion Andre Berto. Mosley himself has gone on the record and told The Ring Online that a Williams fight is not appealing to him. Mosley does not believe their two styles will match up well.

 

“I’d fight anyone,” Mosley said, “but I really wouldn’t want to fight him.”

 

Williams, the interim-WBO junior middleweight champion, has been knocking on Mosley's door for the last few months. He takes on Winky Wright [who beat Mosley twice] on April 11 at the middleweight limit. If Williams gets past Wright it's not clear if he plans to stay at 160, move back to 154, or even move down by two to 147, where Mosley is currently the WBA champion. Williams told BoxingScene.com a few weeks ago that he would return to 147 for the right fight - and Mosley was one of the names he was trying to fight.
