Berto: Do You Want To See Pac Fight Mosley's Old Ass?

By Mark Vester

A war of words has broken out between WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto and former three division champ "Sugar" Shane Mosley. Berto attacked Mosley on Twitter, demanding the veteran boxer step aside from a possible fight with Manny Pacquiao on May 7 in Las Vegas.

Berto and Mosley are both under consideration to face Pacquiao in May. Juan Manuel Marquez is also being considered. Based on everything that's been said by Pacquiao's adviser Michael Koncz, and Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, Mosley is the frontrunner to get the fight, but a deal has yet to be finalized. Those details have not stopped Berto from stating his case on why he's more deserving of the Pacquiao oppotunity.

"You need to go ahead and step aside," Berto told Mosley. "Go sit in your lil old man rocking chair and stir some coffee real slow. I got this. Do you really want to see Pac fight Mosley's old ass? Boxing is looking for that new young fresh face, not grandpas."
