WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley has no interest in title unifications - he only wants the big money. After being unable to secure fights Floyd Mayweather Jr and Miguel Cotto, Mosley told Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer, that he is not interested in a unification bout with undefeated WBC champion Andre Berto.
According to Schaefer, Mosley plans to sit back and attempt to fight the winners of Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton on May 2 and Miguel Cotto-Joshua Clottey on June 13.
"He only wants mega-fights," Schaefer told The Los Angeles Times .
That means Mosley will be out of action until at least the end of the year. There is talk that Mayweather will return to the ring as early as July 11 but Schaefer told the paper that he won't believe any of the rumors until Floyd himself announces a return. Even if Floyd does come back, it's unlikely that Mosley will be his return opponent.
David Benavidez has no shortage of HUGE fights on his radar. In an exclusive interview with BoxingScene, Jose Benavidez Sr. makes it clear that David still wants the biggest names at 175lbs including Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev. Benavidez has previously said those are two fights he wants to make as he pursues more titles and major challenges. But there’s another name that could make things very interesting: Andy Ruiz Jr. Jose discusses the possibility of an all-Mexican showdown between Benavidez and the former heavyweight champion, along with David’s plans across multiple divisions. And with a potential Jai Opetaia showdown also building after the pair came face-to-face following Opetaia’s latest victory, Benavidez has some massive options ahead.

"These are speculations. I'll believe it when Floyd says, 'I'm back.' I haven't heard that. So it's not something we're considering at this time. At this point, I can't get Shane a fight against someone who doesn't want to fight him, so we'll wait," Schaefer said.
