Former three division champion Shane Mosley is days away from one of the biggest fights of his career and many wonder if the veteran fighter is mentally focused for what should be a gueling fight with WBA welterweight champ Antonio Margarito. The January 24 encounter takes place at the Staples Center in California and HBO will televise. [details]

i hope he can put his focus on Margarito, because he cant afford to be distrated for this fight, hell get hurt, if he is not mentally in the fight!!!!!!!!!

Sucks for Mosley, he doesn't need these things before a big fight, especially at this stage of his career, hopefully he can focus on the fight.

Took Shane all this time to figure it out. Hopefully they can patch things up. Unfortunantely its happens at the worst time. Regardless Shane's gonna have a tough fight unless he can somehow discipline himself into boxing and moving for the majority of the night.

Mosley's a professional and has been in the game for a long time. I think he'll be fine. Sadly enough I don't think he can pull out a victory. I'm hoping for it but I just cant see it. Only way he wins is if he outboxes and runs from Marg all night which would lead to a points victory. Anything else will lead to a KO in favor of Marg. This fight IMO will look a lot like Cotto's fight with Marg. Mosley will school him to death in boxing and speed abilities but ultimately cant handle the contentious pressure and dominating power of Marg. Either way I think it will be a great fight. I'm just happy HBO hasn't had any PPV events yet... I hope they wise up this year.

Keep your head up Shane, prove the naysayers wrong.

Excuses already? He knows he needs to be focused for this one.

Maybe. The martial thing I think is to side track the press from BALCO. Either way its the press hyping the fight. I don't think either fighter is unfocused. Both know whats up.

I'd like to think so, losing Jin sucks, she's a stunner.

Here comes the excuses.

Now Margo ain't gonna get credit for this fight if he wins, Mosley's got that Barrera forest-fire thingie going on
