"Sugar" Shane Mosley is not going to sit around and wait for WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. For weeks, Mosley has been calling out Margarito for a potential fight in early 2009. Margarito is scheduled to defend his title at the start of next year, and then heads off to a rematch with Miguel Cotto in June.
There are some who feel that a fight with Mosley might be too tough of an opponent to face before a potential Cotto showdown. Following his knockout of Ricardo Mayorga at the Home Depot Center in California, Mosley, at age 37, says he is too old to wait around for Margarito and/or Cotto accept his challenge. He plans to move forward with his career and fight whichever big name wants to fight him.
"I have to try and find fights now. I don't want to wait around for Cotto and Margarito. I know they have plans. I know Margarito is here watching. It was interesting," Mosley said.
