By Robert Morales - "Sugar" Shane Mosley on Tuesday had just spent several hours snowboarding down the slopes of Big Bear Lake, Calif. Only a couple of weeks earlier he was in the last days of his training there for what turned out to be a spectacular ninth-round technical knockout of Antonio Margarito on Jan. 24 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Hey, some guys go to Disneyland after a big win, Mosley goes snowboarding.
"When you first start, you won't like it because it's hard to do," Mosley said via telephone. "But once you learn, you don't want to stop. It is so much fun."
Fun is being 37 and beating the daylights out of a 30-year-old world champion.
"It meant a lot to me because people were starting to doubt me and doubt my skills and saying I'm too old," Mosley said. "So it meant a lot, not just to beat Margarito or have a controversial decision, but to beat him that way. People say, 'Wow, 'Sugar' Shane is still here and still in contention in a major way.'
