Who would've thought that Shane Mosley would still be doing early morning roadwork in the snowy mountains of Big Bear, California and spilling his blood in boxing rings after all of these years? Who would've predicted the type of career that "little" Shane Mosley was going to have when he and his father Jack were barnstorming the inner city gyms of Los Angeles seeking sparring partners that could take all that he could give? Who would have figured that he would beat Oscar De La Hoya twice and still look like a kid after 14 years of punching for pay?
But, there was Shane Mosley in Las Vegas on Saturday night against Luis Collazo and once again he was doing what he does best - fighting and winning.
Never mind that Luis Collazo was a former welterweight titlist who arguably had never lost a fight. Never mind that Shane Mosley hadn’t fought as a true 147-pound welterweight in nearly five years - or since his last fight with arch-nemesis Vernon Forrest. Never mind that Shane Mosley is now 35 years-old and was fighting against an opponent who was bigger and younger than him. Put another way, Luis Collazo was only 12 years old when Shane Mosley fought his first professional fight, a fifth-round knockout over Greg Puente in Hollywood, California way back in 1993.
