Shane Mosley vs. Andre Berto in Talks, Issues Come Up

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com was advised by a source close to the situation that negotiations for Shane Mosley vs. WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto are still ongoing, but the amount of money going to Berto and the likely possibility of being stripped by the WBC, may keep the deal from being completed. [details]

This fight supposedly has an agreement on principle to happen in January, don't know which one is true.

"Mosley is not all to continue with my career," says WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. Earlier this week "The Tijuana Tornado" rejected a two million dollar offer to defend against the three-division former world champion Sugar Shane Mosley. "De La Hoya didn't keep his word, went around me, made excuses, and in the end didn't have seriousness in his words," said Margarito. "I am doing exactly the same thing, so they can't complain." The possibility exists that Margarito would carry out a defense in Mexico or the USA before a likely rematch with Miguel Cotto with a probable date of June 2009. Mosley's promoter Golden Boy Promotions issued a scathing press release to Spanish-language media calling Margarito "scared" among others things for refusing to meet Mosley on January 24th. Mosley is now expected to face WBC champ Andre Berto.

I just called Lou DiBella who said the report by Woods is not true. There is no deal in principle, as of this moment.

This is the real test for Andre Berto, but what has happened to the Collazo fight? Has that now been cancelled?

[MANGLER]

I'd much rather see Berto-SSM than Berto-Collazo. Damn if the WBC ****blocks the fight to enforce a mando defense against Collazo. A fight wit SSM is bigger and better for Berto, although obviously more of a risk.

[Pugilistic™]

If it happens berto should win.

Mosley is past it.

Berto would probably be strip of the WBC belt if he doesnt face Collazo.
