WBA welterweight champion is ready to take another superfight. He brought himself back from the dead with a career-defining performance over Antonio Margarito in January. Most had him listed as a serious underdog. Mosley overcame the odds by dominating Margarito before stopping him in the ninth.
“I got a chance to get in there and show the world that I'm still the Sugar Man and you can't look over me. I just had a great night that night. Everything matched up the right way and now I'm the welterweight champion of the WBA. I wasn't really that surprised [at how easy I beat him]. I knew I was going to do a good job with him being that I had the perfect sparring partners for the job and I worked very hard. Just his style, I knew that I could beat,” Mosley told BoxingScene.com’s Ernest Gabion.
Mosley cracked a few jokes about Juan Manuel Marquez’s recent challenge to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mosley is one the fighters who desperately wants to get Mayweather in the ring. After Mayweather issued a demand for a $20 million dollar guarantee, Mosley has set his sights on Manny Pacquiao, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto.
“I think Marquez wants to get in there with Mayweather. He's taking my money. I may have to go back in the Golden Boy offices and tell that I'm supposed to get that money. It's a good if it's going to be a great fight. I can get back in the ring tomorrow. [But] when the right fight is there. There is Hatton, Pacquiao and there is Cotto. Those are the three fights that I would be interested in taking. If Mayweather decides that he wants to fight too, that he doesn't want to fight Marquez, then there is always me to fight,” Mosley said.
